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

I always enjoy when Robo starts her posts out with the parade of the minions !

They make me feel all happy inside …

It’s like finding a $20 bill on the sidewalk
Lol

Those minions are my “ people “

Lol

Sweet, so nice to enjoy time with J, Robo. And happy to hear coffee was enjoyed in your HHN mug, and yay, for your HHN planning.

Quick morning stop in

No rain yet...but the skies are cloudy and grey and the wind is starting to howl. A good rain would help clean up all the dirt/dust from winter and help to green up the lawns/grass. Oh well, I can't control the weather...it's probably a good thing too

We finally got our taxes done last night. We get a nice tiny little sum of money back for an over payment and we also get a certain amount per household for living in a remote area. It will go into the vacation fund I am glad we finally got them done. It's just one of those things that are pesky and a PIA to get completed, but is still part of adulting.

I think today is going to be a long, slow day today. There are not many papers to shuffle and I am caught up on all of the specialized work I do as well.

I’m starting early because I want to give them as Christmas presents. Thankfully it is a simple pattern.

That's great!!! I ordered some material for a quilt for my sister. She has asked for one in certain colors - so now I need to decide what pattern I am going to try next.

I have decided on a couple tours for HHN will try and get those booked when I get home this afternoon. I also need to make some hotel reservations for nephews wedding in September so will try and sort that out too.

So exciting!

Those minions are my “ people “

They are my people too. I love those little guys. Ds's and I regularly rewatch all the minion movies. They still make us laugh

Well, I should get started and shuffle some papers. I have the trail streaming today. There was interesting testimony yesterday. I will say that their lifestyle is not normal and kind of mind blowing.

Have a great day everyone!

Yes, me too LOL......I remember many years ago I told one one of the GI docs they should have a advertisement for their practice that said the name of their GI practice and then “We are behind you 100%”.......LOL


Sending good thoughts and wishes that you get an A+ on your tests!

Thank you Mac. Hope the dental issues you are having are getting better.



Thank you Schumi it’s always nice to be with family. As we get older these opportunities to celebrate with our family are more precious for sure.




So nice to hear you are having such a wonderful time with your little granddaughter they are precious.




Not sure what the issue is either. I enjoyed it.




That’s impressive......Hope the muscles feel better.


Well coffee in hand this morning. Sun is peeking though. It’s only 42 degrees this morning. Weather says it will warm up to the 60’s as the day unfolds. Weather here has been up and down.

Going to watch little J this morning for the first part of the day. He stays pretty busy. He loves doing puzzles. His alphabet puzzles are his favorite. He also likes going by by in the car as he says. So will make sure to take him to the Mall play area for some play time as it will be to cool to do much out doors this morning. I need to make a stop at the grocery for a few things too.


Schumi your trip departure is almost here. Glad to hear the suitcases are down.

Say hi to the minions for me

There is lizard weather there to be enjoyed for sure.


I have decided on a couple tours for HHN will try and get those booked when I get home this afternoon. I also need to make some hotel reservations for nephews wedding in September so will try and sort that out too.

The pollen here has been pretty bad with all the trees and bushes sprouting. The downside to Spring.


Need to get moving.


Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.

As the "original lizard" Robbie.....I look forward to that heat!!! It`s so cold here.

Sounds like you have a lovely morning planned with the little guy......such fun for you both! They are delightful to be around at any age, but that is a wonderful playful age for sure, so easy to amuse.

Yes, our fruit trees are flowering like crazy, so beautiful but yes, on an evening when the pollen settles, it`s not fun. That season is over soon......

Have a lovely day and enjoy the plans you are making, always fun too!!

Love the minionions as you affectionately named them......yes, they do make us smile!!

Enjoy that glorious weather you`re enjoying right now.......





Got spicy pulled pork for dinner tonight, cheating and only having it with brioche buns....not really a dinner, but it`s quick and tasty.

Heating is not really turning off right now....of course we could turn down the thermostat, but don`t want to do that! I`ve never known such a cold April as this one has been.

Pumpkin, I have the trial on too.......found a live feed with no ads which is perfect, court tv was unwatchable with all the breaks.

 

[macraven]

Schumi just wait until you are in Orlando days from now

You will have your hotel room ac on.. just saying…

Ours is on the last few days ….

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Rain has arrived. I had to go home over lunch and change shoes and put some socks on. My feet were freezing today. The weatherperson is calling for rain/snow mix overnight into late tomorrow. It's cool/cold again.

I am planning on making a stuffed chicken breast. I found a recipe and am changing it. Hopefully it comes out tasting ok. It's cold enough for me to want to whip up some chicken stew. We might need some good warm comfort food.

Still trying to find some papers to shuffle around.

 

[macraven]

That’s a better dinner plan than what I will be doing

If I leave now, I might make it to your house for food in the next 16 hours

Leave a light on for me …

You have the best weather!! I told Tom earlier you had the A/C turned up.....he wasn`t jealous either......lol......

I think we have similar weather Pumpkin......although no snow for us, it`s just so darn cold! In the low 40`s in April just isn`t right.......and yes, warm comfort food is what we`re looking for too.





Trial finished for the day.....I think Heard`s lawyers are secretly working for Mr Depp as they are completely and utterly useless....thank goodness.......surely he has this in the bag......coolest guy around! Made sure we bought a male friend a bottle of Sauvage for his upcoming birthday......

I had a snooze earlier, but still ready to go to bed earlier than usual.....I think the cold is putting me in hibernation mode!!

Just finished a hot chocolate, resisted the marshmallows and cream to go with it though.....bit late now to try and lose any weight.......lol.......

 

[Pumpkin1172]

No gym tonight. I just couldn't go outside once I was home. I am just tired of the cold. I know spring is coming...but I want it NOW Changed course for supper and made a tasty creamy chicken noodle soup and sandwiches. It definitely hit the spot. There was even a little leftover for me to take for lunch tomorrow.

I keep thinking the same thing. I hope that he will win, part of me wonders that he won't. BUT, his part of the story is being told and people are listening and watching. In reality, no one will win, all their dirty laundry is being aired. No one wants to tell the ugly side of their relationships - especially in such a public matter. I hope the jury thinks and remembers that while they are in deliberations.

I have bought older ds the same fragrance for a gift!

Well, I will leave a light on for anyone who is having trouble counting sheep, and our friends who are early risers.

lol...yes, I`m going to buy it for as many men as I can....my little show of support for him. Public opinion has switched apparently since this all started towards him, so hopefully the jury will see clearly too who the abuser was in all of this.

I thought Dr Curry the other day was phenomenal and the guy in the car yesterday was hilarious......even the judge didn`t quite know what to make of his departure....it was so funny and good to see JD seeing how hilarious this guy was.

I`ve never made a creamy chicken noodle soup before.....always broth based. Yes, we need some warmer weather coming soon!!



And another cool grey morning ahead...no higher than 45F today for us. Joy.

Spent far too long making croissants from scratch last night......they are faffy to make, so will buy them from now on, but wanted to give them a go again. They taste fine, but the baker does them so much better, even grocery store ones are decent too.

Salmon again for dinner tonight, lunch is going to be open sandwiches with coronation chicken with some salad.

Some grocery shopping today, but don`t need too much and have some housework to do and if it stays as cold as it shows....I might nap after lunch, well it does still feel wintery with these temps. I just hope we get a good summer to make up for it........

Happy Thirsty Thursday ​

 

[schumigirl]

And we have a celebration today .......A very Happy Anniversary to our macraven and her mister today......

Hope you both have a lovely day mac ​

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! Happy Anniversary to Mac and Mr. Mac. Hope you have an enjoyable day celebrating, Mac.

While overcast, that cold front has arrived, and we are at 35 degrees this morning. And the house feels cool enough, I may bump up the thermostat soon. But those clouds are soon to make way for our sunny filled day, with 56 the high. No AC needed today. Mother Nature is providing that cool feeling to us instead. Sigh. But will enjoy that brightest of skies on my lunchtime walk. Yeah, and no need to put those long pants, jackets and sweatshirts away yet. . Lucky me, not. LoL

Thirsty Thursday it is. Doing my part as teapot has been getting lighter and lighter feeling. Hehe.

 

[macraven]

Maybe we should officially make thirsty Thursday a holiday…

All work jobs stops at noon and we toast to the day up to midnight

 

[Charade67]

Greetings from another slow day at work. I am going to be leaving a little early today. Dh (today the D does not stand for darling or dear) was in Vegas the past 6 days. This morning he informs me that he has invited some of his students over for dinner tonight and another group for lunch tomorrow. Now I have to go home and make sure the house is clean and looks decent because I know he won’t be doing any cleaning. I’ll miss the group tomorrow because I have a doctor appointment during the time they are supposed to come over.

 

[Charade67]

Oops. Hit send before I added quotes.

I didn't want to get my b*tt out of bed. It was just so comfy cozy, but alas, I am needed at work. Our bank account kind of likes my paycheck - especially if we want to do more travelling in the next few months

I have has an entire week like that. Thankfully I can sleep in a little tomorrow.

Ah, that sun glass rocking camel.

Cute!

I have decided on a couple tours for HHN will try and get those booked when I get home this afternoon. I also need to make some hotel reservations for nephews wedding in September so will try and sort that out too.

Will we get to meet in September? I’ll be there from the 20th to the 24th.

We finally got our taxes done last night. We get a nice tiny little sum of money back for an over payment and we also get a certain amount per household for living in a remote area. It will go into the vacation fund I am glad we finally got them done. It's just one of those things that are pesky and a PIA to get completed, but is still part of adulting.

Nice that you got a refund. This is the first year in a very long time that we have owed.

Spent far too long making croissants from scratch last night......they are faffy to make, so will buy them from now on,

Faffy - that’s a great word. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before.

I need to get back to work and see if I can find someone to fill a 4:30 appointment today.


Happy anniversary to Mac and Mr. Mac.

 

[macraven]

Charade… what can I say…
At least he gave you a heads up so you can make a fine dinner instead of opening up cans of soup for feeding the group

True, but I would have preferred a little more than 10 hours notice. Fortunately he is in charge of the food. I do not cook when he invites the students over.

He is a keeper if he also cleans the kitchen up after having the group over

Yep. I make him do that too.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Thirsty Thursday greetings from a gross snowy (again) Canada Ugh...it's not sticking, but it is still falling. I'm just I can't control the weather, but this weather doesn't help with my mental status.

I do have a slice banana bread and a tea in my hand for breakfast...which makes me happy. My heater is on under my desk, keeping me warm, so I am grateful for that!

I thought Dr Curry the other day was phenomenal and the guy in the car yesterday was hilarious......even the judge didn`t quite know what to make of his departure....it was so funny and good to see JD seeing how hilarious this guy was.

I thought Dr Curry was amazing as well. She wasn't rattled, and very clear about everything she was asked. I found it quite funny that the AH lawyer didn't want to go through allllllllllllllll the documents pointing to AH's analysis to get to her conclusion of the diagnosis. And the guy in the car - hilarious!!!!!! Vaping and driving away with no seatbelt on when he was clearly done answering questions even though the lawyer was still asking them! So far Johnny's defense team has had great witnesses. He is making his case for sure

Dh (today the D does not stand for darling or dear) was in Vegas the past 6 days. This morning he informs me that he has invited some of his students over for dinner tonight and another group for lunch tomorrow. Now I have to go home and make sure the house is clean and looks decent because I know he won’t be doing any cleaning.

At least you had some warning. I hope it doesn't take you too long to tidy up.

Well, I should start the daily paper shuffle.

Have a great day everyone!
