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

[schumigirl]

Now that sounds interesting!
It might be worth a watch if I can get my fat cat to get off my lap…

I have a feeling she is not going to budge anytime soon

We are finally getting a painter company to paint one of our rooms tomorrow
It has an angled ceiling of the house
Been here long enough in our house to where we are clearing out things we no longer need and sprucing up some of our rooms

Neither one of us enjoy home projects
We really stink on what we feel looks good and want something nice done in the upstairs room

We always hire out to decorate mac, you do right......you reminded me we need to call our guy to do our hallway and stairs in June sometime, if he`s not too busy. We have a vaulted ceiling going upstairs and it needs almost scaffolding to get up there.....

But, he`s been so busy since everything opened back up properly.......

I used to enjoy painting rooms years ago, but soon tired of it.....it`s easier to pay the guy.......lol......hope you`re happy with the results.





It is now a miserable day.....we did our walk and it was colder than we thought, so we only did 5.5 miles, so, not too bad. Came home, showered and then delivered the easter eggs...yes, some are for adult kids.......lol.......stopped into the butcher and bought some turkey slices, so as it was cold we made turkey, brie and cranberry grilled sandwiches.......full up now.

Doing pork fillet stuffed with spiced apple chutney and leeks tonight, might make some caramelised apples to go with it and spicy cous cous. Dinner sorted.

So, now the rain is bouncing down, not going back out there today.

Good Tuesday morning Sans family

Loved the pictures Robbie.......it is the most amazing place, we can`t wait to get back in Nov/Dec this year. It`s been too long.

Yes, it is amazing. They should have the new Gateway building open by the time you visit. KSC is really growing.

Allegiant had us sitting on tarmac for so long, figured we’d be heading back to gate. Turns out, plane so full, they had to burn off fuel in order to fly safely. First time I heard that one

I have never hear that either.



Almost cut the tip of my thumb off making lunch......lots and lots of blood!!


Hope the finger is healing.

Robo I remember that bus tour that took you out to the launch pads. Aren’t they doing that anymore? Great pic

They don’t take you to the launch pads anymore. Those were the good old days. The bus will take you to the Apollo/Saturn V Center building only. That is included in the price of your ticket.

There are other tours that will take you back where the old tour used to take you many years ago, but that is extra when offered.

Well I updated my August plans. Keeping SF for first week, then moving to PBH for second week. AP rate at PB is highest I’ve seen. Rates have really gone up for the Universal deluxe This year.

SF is beautiful and so is PBH. Nice you will have a split stay to enjoy both.

What an awesome surprise!!!! KSC is such an amazing place to visit. We sure enjoyed every moment in there....and will need another visit just to see the things we missed the first time.

Yes, they have changed and grown so much. You will have a great time.

Good morning Sunshines, brisk day at ormond beach, surely warmer by double the temps at home!

Nice pictures on the beach. Nice packed sand for walking.

I love a rocket launch from the beach Nice surprise with the delay. . Ground control to Major Tom…

Yeah, you were able to see a rocket lift off from the beach. Nice pictures of a lovely couple on vacation.

Carole We hit up one yet another Greek diner yesterday as worse for road wear lol. Roast Turkey & chicken parm. Barely got thru half of it. Had to save room for lemon meringue pie. Good, scratch food for under $12 each lol

Food looks good. Large portions.

One of my 3 horses just won the Grand National!!!!!

Spending spree coming up.......

Congratulations On your win.

Off to the dentist soon for the crown fitting.
If it fits, I think I can gnaw on meat again

No dental work happened but going to see an oral surgeon which I’m waiting to set up

But I was in the dental chair for over an hour with nitrous and I really relaxed with no care in the world

Sorry to hear the dental appointment did not go as planned. I hope the dental surgeon is able to help you.

Heard back from my manager about my raise - and extremely surprised that they came back close to what I was asking for So for now I will stay put here - as it is similar to what I would get if I moved to a different company (outside of healthcare). I have seniority, loads of holiday time, no problems when I want to leave early, take time off and NOT micromanaged. I would still love and will keep trying to snag a job in healthcare...but for now, I'm happy with what and where I am now.

Congratulations on your raise Pumpkin.



Carole there is a documentary that popped up Sunday on Netflix about Elon Musk called “Return to Space”. Not sure if you have seen it or not. He is a brilliant young man.


I have attempted to post a few times then things got in the way. A couple of times the system was down on and off. It appears things are working better.


Traveled back to Southern Indiana last Tuesday. Had some white knuckle driving as we got into a good downpour for about 150 miles of the 960 drive. Traffic was very heavy at times. Made it back albeit tired.


Grandson is graduating from high school in about a month. So needed to be back for the celebration.


Had a nice dinner with the family on Sunday.


I will have to prep later this evening for colonoscopy tomorrow early morning. Yuck........this is not my first rodeo with this...LOL...There will be no sleep tonight. So naps today for sure.





It’s been raining here past couple days. Need sunshine please.


Going over to see little J my great nephew this morning. He is a cute little sweetheart. Looking forward to our visit.


Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone.

 

[soniam]

Oatmeal is just not the most satisfied of breakfasts. But did just now, open that animal crackers tub. Not a very sweet snack, but a tasty enough one with my tea.

I love oatmeal. It's better than what I have for breakfast when I am on keto.

I used to enjoy painting rooms years ago, but soon tired of it.....it`s easier to pay the guy.......lol......hope you`re happy with the results.

I have painted almost every individual room in this house. I didn't paint the main living area though, because it has 2 story ceilings. Didn't want to have to rent scaffolding. We ended up having someone repaint most of it on our last remodel. They painted the trim too. It's so much easier to have someone else do it, but the perfectionist in me gets angry when they don't do it perfect. It's hard on my carpal tunnel though.

It's good to see you again. That reminds me, that I need to book my 4th one and husband's first one.


Taco salad Tuesday for us. Well, I won't be having the tortilla chips, just the marinated chicken and salad fixins.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone.

Thank you Robbie......yes, Kyle sent me an email with the link in it, haven`t watched all of it yet, but I watch anything he`s in....he could read the phone book and could make it interesting!!

Good luck with the butt test tomorrow.......prep is never fun and much easier than the procedure itself.

Ennjoy time with your little one today and not long till the graduation, something huge to look forward to.

Good to see you

Carpal tunnel is not fun apparently. Yes, don`t blame you not doing the 2 storey room, it`s just too much work, much better to get the professionals in especially with the scaffolding. Our stairs and staircase terrify me......no way would one of us do that.




Still raining.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Quick morning stop in before I start the paper shuffle

I am complaining that it's freaking April and that we still have this cold, windy grossness. It's not unusual for us to have this weather at this time of year...it's just that winter is sooo long here. My sister is off on her vacation today to Arizona....and I'm wishing I could have shrunk myself to fit into her carry-on and went with her. Dh and I were already talking about how to best use all the CC points that we have to go see another nascar race and do a family trip to Florida

Not sure what is all on the menu for supper tonight, but I took out chicken again tonight lol. I think it's going to be a week of chicken lol We have used most of our moose meat (except for the ground which we still have lots of) and I have been missing eating chicken. Not sure I will cook it up tonight.

the school finally fixed my email account. My dependent aid posted today, so I am now officially enrolled. Tomorrow I am going to request a student ID.

Yay!!!!! That is soooo exciting. Enjoy all the moments of it - even the ones where you think " what the heck did I get myself into?" moments lol. I had a few of those

Be aware that not all hush puppies are created equal. I generally don't like them, but there are a couple of restaurants I've been to that have incredibly good hush puppies.

Good to know...the ones I had tried were AMAZING!!!!

I watched old episodes of Castle.

I started Grey's again. Gosh how I love the early seasons. Once Derek died, I haven't watched much - except for the c-virus ones where past cast came back for the season while Merideth was in her coma.

My little one, age 20, wants one of the stuffed creatures. What? Silly little one. Well, it is an 8 pack of them, so she can pick one, and the other three I’ll save for my other two great nieces and great nephew. They may be visiting this summer, as we don’t see them very much, and have seen the Sunday ones more. Though the other ones live around 9 hours away, and the Sunday ones, only live about 2 hours away. Looking forward to a fun family get together this Easter Sunday.

My kids ( 21+19) said they want to color eggs lol. So out this momma goes today to find a kit. I seen a few at walfart yesterday when I was picking up candy.

We are finally getting a painter company to paint one of our rooms tomorrow
It has an angled ceiling of the house
Been here long enough in our house to where we are clearing out things we no longer need and sprucing up some of our rooms

It is nice to refresh the house that way! I need to clear out some thing from the basement again.

It is now a miserable day.....we did our walk and it was colder than we thought, so we only did 5.5 miles, so, not too bad. Came home, showered and then delivered the easter eggs...yes, some are for adult kids.......lol.......stopped into the butcher and bought some turkey slices, so as it was cold we made turkey, brie and cranberry grilled sandwiches.......full up now.

It will be great when the miserable weather is gone and the warm weather returns. You and I are definitely sun/warm lovers. I am definitely like a lizard.
I do have to say about dresses. I don't know if it is the same as here - but what the heck is with the " little house on the prairie flour sack type dresses " Just no....nope nope nadda not happening.

I will have to prep later this evening for colonoscopy tomorrow early morning. Yuck........this is not my first rodeo with this...LOL...There will be no sleep tonight. So naps today for sure.

Good luck on the procedure.

Well, I should get started and shuffle some papers.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[macraven]

Always nice to refresh the house, Mac. Hehe, I’d have cats but for a family member allergies. We are still thinking of getting a dog, well my family want dogs. Yeah, at least 2. Sigh. Empty nest thinking?

Oatmeal is just not the most satisfied of breakfasts. But did just now, open that animal crackers tub. Not a very sweet snack, but a tasty enough one with my tea.

My dad and brothers and husband loved oatmeal but I would starve myself before I would eat it
My mother did not like it either.

(All my boys loved it so I did make it for them
I would always tell them I could not understand how they could eat such vile mush but I would make it for them)

I did a baked Perdue chicken for dinner last night and
deboned it
Made it into chicken salad for tonight’s meal

 

[buckeev]

HAPPY 2s Day SANs folk!

Plumbin' "project" Saturday.

Sleeper Sofa haul out Sunday.

I'm gettin' too old for this physical labor!!!

You want special delivery or do I need to drive it to you?

 

[Lynne G]

Ugh Buckeev. Manual labor? Yeah, hire out! LoL. Sounds like a busy weekend. As it’s the bunny weekend, have some chocolate with those pills.

Well, with a little one and me late lunch, if it’s not pasta, what is her other go to? Yep, air fried chicken nuggets, tots and mac and cheese with pieces of all different cheddar cheeses, and the leftover pasta. And, ooh almost wanted my shorts. Beautiful sunny lunchtime walk. And will be 72 degrees when go to the salon. Told little one she can drive me, and stop and get some iced coffee in her go to where she feels like hanging out for a little while as it takes about 45 minutes or so for my hairdo. She only needs once or twice a year, as she likes long hair. And last time, think almost half came off.

 

[Lynne G]

Wow, DH said grass needs mowing, and so he’s doing it now. Spring day? Yay!

You do have the worst winters!! Hopefully it won`t be too much longer for you.....

lol....I know the dresses you mean....yes they are like sackcloths....where is the waist???? Laura Ingalls specials we call them. I have bought a couple of dresses that could be described as gypsy style.....they certainly were back in the late 70`s early 80`s......but they do have a waist, fitted on the bust so they look good and a kind of gathered trim on the hemline, they do look nice on. But, yes those are particularly hideous garments.

Oh gosh yes, we can be lizards together when the sun shines finally........

My dad and brothers and husband loved oatmeal but I would starve myself before I would eat it

Oatmeal/porridge is vile......gruel is the perfect description.

Love a chicken salad though.......I was amazed how many folks can`t debone a chicken....guess folks don`t pass that on anymore.

Oh all good wishes to you buckeev, sounds like a busy time and yes, physical labour is not for everyone........should be left to those that enjoy it!!

Always good to see you buckeev......





Dinner was nice.......my apple chutney leaked out a little too much, but it was kinda nice after it caramelised a little in the cooking tray, went well with the caramelised apples, we do love a nice pork fillet.

Rain has all gone, but a weird mist has rolled in making it slightly more chilly out there than it should be. But, no breeze either and weather is going to pick up over the next week or so. And a long weekend ahead, most folks are off Friday and Monday so our walks will be busier I think as folks head our way to enjoy the beach and all amenities.

Had some plain old Earl Grey tonight after dinner with a cherry scone and too much butter but....delicious.

 

[buckeev]

You want special delivery or do I need to drive it to you?

Awww...I'd hate to inconvenience ya! Could you just run me a LONG garden hose to SETX!?

 

[macraven]

Awww...I'd hate to inconvenience ya! Could you just run me a LONG garden hose to SETX!?

I’m sure I could arrange that for you homie!

(Maybe….)

I would gladly give you my massage appointment today. Sounds like you need it more than me.

Those home renovations always take a toll on the body

 

[soniam]

My kids ( 21+19) said they want to color eggs lol. So out this momma goes today to find a kit. I seen a few at walfart yesterday when I was picking up candy.

My 16 year old wants to decorate eggs to. We went and got the decorating kit last weekend, along with some pudding for DS in case his mouth hurts after removing his braces on Thursday. Had to buy white eggs, since ours are usually brown. He has Friday off, so I will probably let him do it then.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Had to buy white eggs, since ours are usually brown. He has Friday off, so I will probably let him do it then.

Good Friday is always our day to color the eggs. This year, we will have to wait until youngest is done his shift. He's got the early morning shift - which he won't give up the double time and a half + double his early morning bump up for working 4-7 AM. He makes big $$$ on stat holiday days.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. Another really slow day at work today. I won't complain though. It's nice having a quiet week.

Tonight we broke in the waffle maker. I think I am going to like it. I think next time I will experiment with some add ins.

I don`t think I know anyone who hasn`t experienced "laughing gas" as we call it......you`re the first!

I have been very fortunate and have never had any serious dental work.

Saw on a site yesterday UOR is looking to recruit over 800 people for food and beverages alone......they must be short staffed by quite a lot.

I hope they are successful. Hopefully this means things are getting back to normal.

Can’t believe she graduates this year.

Will she graduate in spring or fall? B only has 13 hours left, but has decided to split the hours and go part time for the next 2 semesters.

Ah, southern food. Do like hush puppies too. Still wish we had a really good bbq place near me. Sadly, not much southern type food places where I am.

We have average BBQ places here. We are getting a new restaurant soo that is supposed to be really good.

Now that sounds interesting!
It might be worth a watch if I can get my fat cat to get off my lap…

Castle is a fun show. I hope you like it. It is streaming on Hulu.

I will have to prep later this evening for colonoscopy tomorrow early morning. Yuck........this is not my first rodeo with this...LOL...There will be no sleep tonight. So naps today for sure.

I sympathize. I just had one a few months ago. Good luck.

Dh is trying to talk me into going to the race in Charlotte.

My dad and brothers and husband loved oatmeal but I would starve myself before I would eat it
My mother did not like it either.

Add me to the list of people who won't eat oatmeal.

I am trying to remember the last time I dyed Easter eggs. I'm not even sure I ever did it with B. Has anyone done the the dye effect with shaving cream?

 

[Monykalyn]

Hey all!! Hope all are doing great! Nicer spring day here today before the storms again tomorrow. Chickens enjoying the nicer weather, but never again will I get a chicken with feathered feet. Another day another abcess-she's healing well but ick.
And we found a car-not sure if I reported that - friend who owns a dealership waived all the usual fees to keep it at MRSP-which was in our range. Nissan Rogue with nice trim package. Handles really nicely. Now getting dreams of road trips to Florida
Think it was Pumpkin due for congrats on Raise?? and good luck to Robbie for colon prep (ugh)

I love Earl Grey in most variations

My girls love all variations of tea-think they have some English in their soul...

Saw on a site yesterday UOR is looking to recruit over 800 people for food and beverages alone......they must be short staffed by quite a lot.

Yes! Think middle kid in Orlando is going to apply-not getting enough hours at Publix-plus UO is hiring at good hourly rate

Now that sounds interesting!
It might be worth a watch if I can get my fat cat to get off my lap…

Aw sweet lap warmer! You know you won't dare disturb a sleeping or happy kitty

Wow, DH said grass needs mowing, and so he’s doing it now. Spring day? Yay!

yeah had the 1st mowing this weekend. DH is off playing in golf league tonite.


Got our flight to Maui booked, now to pull trigger for return home from Honolulu. Have the gap between the timeshare weeks booked and paid for. Reserved a tour on Maui-private tour for Road to Hana with helicopter flight/tour of Maui on way back.-Pricey but we wanted to do a helicopter tour anyway so splurged. Need to decide on a luau, then just make sure I get Pearl Harbor and Arizona memorial tickets. Have 4th of July dinner on beach in Waikiki reserved. (and a backup as can't decide lol). Rental cars reserved (OUCH!).

As for Easter eggs-will just HB the colored ones - will be only green color but saves having to dye them

 

[macraven]

Just dropping in to tuck all the homies to bed
Porch light was off so assume this is it for chatter tonight

Sleep tight!

 

[macraven]

Just saw monyk posting
Missed you by minutes here..

Quite enjoyed reading about your travels!

We enjoyed our trips to Hawaii and had my brother guide us around the islands.


He had a business there and lived there for for 25 years
He retired and moved to Florida.
And quite enjoys the state.
