Something About Nothing............ #14

Add me to the list for RFF birthday wishes

 

[schumigirl]

Mixed day.

Got all I need for Christmas presents for Scotland......and stores weren`t too busy which was lovely.......but before we left for the trip, I wrote out a whole load of cards for the folks in the village and surrounding areas.......cannot find one of them.

I thought maybe I`d put them somewhere "safe" but we have gone through every room in the house and can`t find them anywhere. Mystery. Now, I`m like a dog with a bone convinced "someone" who shall remain nameless has moved them.......hmmm.

Couple of hours before I need to start getting ready for our meal out tonight, will enjoy using the new make up I picked up in Orlando, can get it here too, but prefer to buy it there......still to decide what to wear. One of the men wanted us all to wear Christmas jumpers......not on your nellie!!! It`s dressing up time.......dress and high heels

 

[Lynne G]

A very happy birthday to Julie!

Good morning. We are getting ready to head over to BG. Dh is on a zoom meeting for work right now.

Busy night last night. Got some pretty xmas nails - as she had some cute little stickers to add to make them festive! Whipped up a double batch of some chocolate chip cookies last night. Tonight I'm making a double chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. Super decedent...and tasty.

Yum! I want to go to your house for Christmas.

Don’t know if anyone remembers when I had emergency dental work done in late January
Two molars removed

Now all is healed up and ready to begin implants
I think the price is crazy and wonder if anyone here has had implants for molars done.

Sorry I can’t help you there. I don’t have much experience with dental work.

Water park fun. Great morning, as no lines, ride now every ride.

Wow, I can’t believe how empty it is.

Being from Texas, I would never think of going to a water park in December.

it was quite warm when we were there in December a few years ago. Dh and B went to the water park.

Yes, little one does not open her eyes in many of the pictures.

I’m bad about that. I try to remember to open my eyes more, but then I look crazy.

Tried that hot chicken mac and cheese. Almost way too hot tasting to us, but nice amount of chicken.

I keep reading about that on the FB page. I wonder if it will be too hot for me though.

Friday it is, yay! It’s the starting of our baking weekend. And yeah, I’m up early. Just can’t sleep late.

I’m stopping at Lynne’s house on my way to Pumpkins.

Got all I need for Christmas presents for Scotland......and stores weren`t too busy which was lovely.......but before we left for the trip, I wrote out a whole load of cards for the folks in the village and surrounding areas.......cannot find one of them.

Hope you find the cards.

Is it RFF’s birthday? I was thinking it was her granddaughter’s.

Hope you find the cards.

We had the Nashville chicken without the mac n cheese, and didn`t find it anywhere near as spicy as Nashville Chicken should be. We saw kiddies eating it, so you should be fine. It was nice though and we would get it again as a snack, we didn`t eat the bread but the slaw was also nice.

Still can`t find those cards.

Have a great day Charade.......





One of my friends daughters has just left after coming round to give me a pedicure......not something I`m usually bothered to do, but it was very nice and the feet enjoyed it after 2 weeks of walking in the heat. She has her own little business doing it, and is always asking me to have one.......think I might get another sometime. Was ideal as I`m wearing high heels tonight....well, I`ll wear them walking into the restaurant and leaving....in between, they may be on the floor!

Time for a little snack as it`ll be a few hours before we eat, and maybe a small glass of wine before I get ready.

Pitch black here now, all trees and lamps are all on though, so it looks nice.

Charade
I have no idea but to be on the safe side, when I read it’s someone’s birthday, I join in to do my shout out

Never want any of our homies feel like they have been forgotten for a bday

I just follow the pack
Lol

 

[Lynne G]

I’m with you Mac. I’m not a good tracker of other homies’ birthdays.

60 degrees out! Yay! But then overnight rain, and back to regular December weather programming, with 40’s with wind chills in low 30’s starting Sunday.

mac, you`ve remembered everyone`s birthday on here for many years ......when you`re busy you`re allowed to miss a few.....you also are the one to welcome all new posters when they join us.....you are the linchpin of this thread for sure!!

Always remember St Lawrence being thrilled when you remembered his many moons ago......hope he`s doing ok, he hasn`t posted in a long time.





Still trying to decide which dress to wear tonight.......decisions! I was going to wear a new red one I bought, but two of the ladies are wearing red so I may go different and not wear a Christmassy one.......will be wearing boots with high heels so need to be careful the one I choose suits boots.

It's a Friday stop in. TGIF it's Friday is all I can say. Only 3 1/2 more days next week...then I'm done until 2022

Well...the depths of cold have set in. It was a balmy -40 this morning. Took the first breath when i stepped outside and it always hurts the lungs. It was a rough ride in the truck for the first block as the wheels are always a little square from sitting and are super stiff at that temperature the joys of living in the north.

I posted on FB a snapshot of the current weather ( from a funny joke cracking app) with a snarky remark asking for those who were complaining about the heat over the summer....they better buckle up...because now I'm going to CONSTANTLY complain about the cold insert evil laugh

Thinking tonight I'll wrap presents. Cue a beverage, remote control and just peace and quiet. I know others hate wrapping presents...I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love taking my time, making them all look pretty!!!! It's just my jam. I would totally let people bring me their gifts to wrap.

I thought maybe I`d put them somewhere "safe" but we have gone through every room in the house and can`t find them anywhere. Mystery. Now, I`m like a dog with a bone convinced "someone" who shall remain nameless has moved them.......hmmm.

I hate when that happens...and it happens every now and then. I hope your dinner out went well. It is great everyone can get together and celebrate again this year.

I’m stopping at Lynne’s house on my way to Pumpkins.

You might want to bring your long johns....it's a bit more chilly than your used to I will gladly share and host for anyone who would brave to come visit me!

Well, I should get my last spreadsheet completed and sent out.,

Have a great evening everyone...stay safe!

My husband uses an app called What The Forecast (***). It's full of snarky remarks.

 

[Metro West]

Good evening all! Glad to be back on the board and able to post again. This has been the most irritating week on record! First...we had to work late Tuesday night and Wednesday night because of people being out and trying to catch up for next week. Second...I wanted to meet Lynne on Wednesday night but couldn't because of work. Third...I found out some people in my building have tested positive for COVID...I don't know which one but I'm going to try and get my flu shot and COVID test this weekend.

All in all a lousy time!

I hope everyone had a good week and will have a fun weekend!

I hope things improve. Thank goodness it's the weekend, right?

Thanks...you got that right. Too bad I don't drink anymore.

 

[Lynne G]

Well, Metro. Two good things, first, yay! The weekend is here. Second, I’m sure I’ll be around either in the Spring, Sumner, and will certainly be in the Fall, so can always meet up another time. And I hope you do get to watch the parade.

Friday night, time to relax. Nice way to be. And house smells good, as we did starting our baking.

Still can`t find them??? Very frustrating as I know they are somewhere.......and thanks we had a wonderful night.

That is a little cold......you definitely win the coldest weather award for sure!!! Coldest weather we ever felt was when we were in Finland years back.....jeez, I couldn`t live there, 5 days was enough! Love your evil laugh......lol.....

I love wrapping presents too, there`s something just so festive and exciting about wrapping and sharing gifts with others. I`m not very good with odd shapes though, but I do get an award for effort.......lol......hope you have a lovely weekend!

Sending you hugs my friend Sounds like you could be doing with a few of them!!

And obviously hope you get a negative test result this weekend, and get your flu jab with no side effects. I`ve never had a flu jab, they`re not routinely offered unless you have certain conditions or over a certain age......but hope your weekend is better than the week you`ve had.....treat yourself to something nice and lush and enjoy it




Had the best night out last night. Food was good and wonderful company......it was the same place we went to in September for my birthday when they didn`t have oysters and last night again they didn`t have oysters.......we did laugh as I had been so looking forward to them.......again. But, everything was beautiful and the whole evening had a proper festive feeling.

Got a couple of friends coming round for breakfast this morning before they set off on their Christmas vacation. Early brunch I guess. Most of it is ready, table is set so just have to cook bacon and if they want some eggs, everything else is a cold selection, we all like buffet style.

Then not much planned for the rest of the day..........will search for those darn Christmas cards again and maybe fit in a snooze as we did have a late night last night, and probably wrap some more presents.

Have a lovely Saturday and weekend ​

 

[Lynne G]

Good morning Schumi. Thought I smelled bacon. Nice to have friends over, and had
such a lovely night. I hope those cards have appeared already. I’m sending the last out today. Still getting a few. Hope you enjoyed some tea as you readied the menu. I do like buffet style, as that what’s we do on our holiday meals. That way, each can select what they want.

And so, early riser am I. I think I hear little one, and no she’s not the early riser today. I think she was the overnight owl playing online and chatting with her friends. I think I half shocked her when I went by to make my tea. House does not feel cool, but cool out, 42 degrees, still raining since the wee hours and with roads sounding wet. And that rain will not move out until later today. But no matter the weather, no matter where I am, I still like to start my day with tea. And time to wash what we brought home the other day. So now you can hear the wash going too.

Not much to do, but oven is almost ready, so have to get batter out, and more cookies to bake. Maybe later, little one will help me with covering pretzels with chocolate, some plain, some with crushed peanuts, some with crushed walnuts, and some with festive colored jimmies/sprinkles. Oh and some with crushed peppermints. They always seem to be a big hit with those we gift away.

Super Sized Saturday homies. Just think,



Hehe, yep, most wrapping done. I’m not the perfect wrapper, but none of us care, it’s the fun of opening up what’s covered.

And yay, pets get in the spirit too:

Thank you! I don't like shots but sometimes we need to do it. I plan to relax and do as little as I can get away with.

Have a great weekend!

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, hope your flu shot is quick and no side effects, Metro. My DH got his last month, and he had no side effects. So yes, hoping you have that same reaction. And relax this weekend, since working so long, such a crappy week. Hoping this week, ending with the holiday, is so much more quiet for you. Hehe, you’re an early riser too.

 

[schumigirl]

Thank you! I don't like shots but sometimes we need to do it. I plan to relax and do as little as I can get away with.

Quite right.....take it easy and chill out......you have a great weekend too.....





Friends came, ate us out of bacon and everything else and left.......but nice time and glad to see them before they left today. We don`t ever keep leftovers, so I was glad to see all the food was gone. Early gift exchange too for us, didn`t open them though, we never open gifts before Christmas, unless there`s a good reason.

Feeling very full though, so won`t need lunch today. And managed to wrap some more presents, and will rewrite all the cards I`m sure I have already written out.

mac, sorry......all the bacon is gone.....you slept too late!! But, sleeping late is fun!!!

 

[Metro West]

Quite right.....take it easy and chill out......you have a great weekend too.....

I think I'm going to listen to some Christmas music and watch Charlie Brown tonight. I need to get more bacon.

Yes...I get up early...always. Flu shots don't usually bother me but I have had two others this year that knocked me on my butt! The 2nd COVID shot and the first Shingles (Vaccination) shot...made me sick as a dog. I have to get the 2nd Shingles shot in February.
