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

[schumigirl]

On hold for over an hour..........

I hope after this wait they can actually help you and sort the issue out!

 

[Charade67]

2 hours on hold, but the problem is finally fixed. I think I will take a little nap now.

 

[Lynne G]

Thank goodness,Charade. What a run around of waiting to get your problem fixed. And a very happy 89th birthday to your mom. Hope she does go to rehab to feel even better.

Hehe, older one stepped out to go to work, came back in to say, was already very hot out. Will make little one happy, as she has some great looking tank tops. And she got lucky, store was marking down earlier versions of bikini tops and bottoms. Little one found a perfect fitting top, and two bottoms, one, cheeky, one high waisted. All looked great, and are a deep dark brown that looks like it has a bit of red in it. Gorgeous. And a very good price. So happy mom too.

Well, the men are gone. Time to see if crabby sleeping beauty is awake yet. I do have my bills ready to go. And shorts on. No tank top for me, but a quick dry T shirt is cool feeling. Flip flops, but will toss my sneakers in the car, as if we are walking more than just a quick go in and pay, and leave, I’ll change to the sneakers. Otherwise, when it’s just warm enough, or hotter, I’m in flip flops.

I had noticed @soniam hasn't posted. Also a few others @cam757 , @Sue M and a few others.

@Charade67 I hope your studies don't keep you too busy and your able to find some time to relax and take a little time for you too

I’m alive and well! Lots has been happening and seems like not Enoch hours in the day sometimes.
Best news, my new Rav4 hybrid finally arrived! And on my birthday! May 25. What are the chances? Best birthday present ever. I’ve had it on order since Aug 2021. As you know, wait times in Canada are crazy!

Happy Friday Dance

TGIF!!! I am a happy girl! it just feels like it's been a long week.

It's cool and windy here again, but the sun is shinning The forecast for the weekend is rain, so I'll take the sunshine. I think it will be a baking and whipping up treats weekend. A quick stop at the grocery store to pick up some butter and I'm on my way to building some great treats. Not sure what else is in store for the weekend, as we had wanted to put the boat in the water and go fishing. I'm sure dh and boys will find something to do. Probably hit the shooting range with the bows.

I need to round my cats up and put them in separate rooms
They have been fussing at each other and once I go to bed, do not want to be woken up due to a cat fight

I hope you got some rest! We have new neighbors and their dog is quite yappy. The dog is usually only outside when they are out enjoying their backyard. I hear them working on getting it to stop barking, but have not had much success. I just don't appreciate it when it's 12:00 am and I'm trying to sleep lol. They are outside and enjoying sitting around a fire - I wish we had a little spot like theirs to enjoy a fire. So we will see how it plays out.

But ah yes, a holiday bonus time off for me, as thought why not? Longer weekend for one day taken off? Check.

Nice!!!! I love those extra days off! I will be having a few of those over the summer as well.

have been sitting at ipad screen nearly every morning for a month, hitting refresh in attempt to book a reservation for next year’s DVC stay over 4th of July. Well, booking one 11 months ahead of time, then slowly modifying it via extending & cancelling a date to confirm to the max 7 night reservation rule. It’s what the cool kids call ‘walking’ here I have a few other choice words in mind.

I hope you get the reservation you are wanting. That is the one thing I hate about the mouse house. Trying to secure those reservations Just keep the power of positive thinking.

We have 90F today........wooooohooooooo......yes, I`m bragging......lol.......it`s dull though now, so wondering if we`re going to get a thunder and lightning session, it is humid!

Enjoy that hot weather!!!! The quading sounds like fun! We tend to make sure to wear mud gear, as there is usually some mud and dirt involved in those trips. I'm sure Tom and Kyle will have a blast! Enjoy the get together after - I especially love those get togethers!

2 hours on hold, but the problem is finally fixed. I think I will take a little nap now.

Yay!!! Enjoy that nap. You have been pretty busy the last few weeks. Your body probably needs the extra rest.

I’m alive and well! Lots has been happening and seems like not Enoch hours in the day sometimes.
Best news, my new Rav4 hybrid finally arrived! And on my birthday! May 25. What are the chances? Best birthday present ever. I’ve had it on order since Aug 2021. As you know, wait times in Canada are crazy!

Love the color!!! Does she have a name yet? We always name our vehicles. Yup...I'm that person lol

Well, I should see if I can wrestle up any more papers to shuffle around. I'm afraid there is not much to do on this Friday afternoon. I get paid to have a slow day Changing my mind frame to an " attitude of gratitude"

Have a great day everyone!

It`s a nice colour, hope you enjoy driving that one.

I think wait times are crazy everywhere......Porsche were quoting us 18 months last May for a new car and my cousin in LI waited over a year for her new car. Crazy.

Sounds like a lovely weekend you have planned with the family......hope the weather co-operates.

Yes, they have clothes and boots they only wear when they all go quad biking and when they`re done they come in through the back doors and strip off in the Utility room which is next to the laundry room, so they don`t get further than that with the dirty clothes. It is a lot of fun though, I think there`s 8 of them going on Sunday, so should be fun on Father`s day all guys together.

One of the women suggested we get together and do something on Sunday too.....well, it`s the Canadian GP so I told her our get together is Saturday night!

Have a great weekend........






No grilling out tonight, it is boiling hot but so breezy......so I made spicy honey bbq chicken on the griddle and honeyed pineapple spears with salad. Nice, and spicier than I thought, hadn`t used those chillies before, but will use them again.

Rustled up some buttery shortbread so had some with our last pot of tea today.....very moreish!!

Now to pop the tv on and see if there`s something worth watching or if it`ll be a dvd from yesteryear.......

Definitely a glass of wine on the menu later too........

Happy Friday

I’d probably have had a cocktail lol

Lucky you!

Does she have a name yet

we never took to naming ours, although I’ve called a few of them names when they needed mechanical work

My dad called all His Betsy, no idea where that name originated lol

Family out the door, im grabbing a lemonade and heading out the back door & onto pool raft until game time.

Enjoy the weekend all

 

[Pumpkin1172]

is it 4:30 yet?

Sigh...it's a long day when there is not much to do. Looking and dreaming of holidays. For some reason, Hawaii youtube videos keep popping up I have always wanted to go and have put the bug into dh's ear for the winter of 2024 for our 30th anniversary trip. So I guess we will see.

 

[Charade67]

Taking a study break.

Thank goodness,Charade. What a run around of waiting to get your problem fixed. And a very happy 89th birthday to your mom. Hope she does go to rehab to feel even better.

Thanks Lynne. Just found out that she may not get discharged until Monday. The staff felt bad that she is hospitalized on her birthday and got her a card and some flowers.

Best news, my new Rav4 hybrid finally arrived! And on my birthday! May 25. What are the chances? Best birthday present ever.

Happy belated birthday. Nice looking car.

It's cool and windy here again, but the sun is shinning The forecast for the weekend is rain, so I'll take the sunshine.

We are currently under a severe thunderstorm watch until 8:00.

Hope you got your nap, it`s been a tough few weeks for you.

Thanks. I did get a brief nap. May take another one.

I’d probably have had a cocktail lol

I don’t drink alcohol, but told Dh that dealing with the IRS might drive me to drink. Once I finally got to talk to a human she was very nice and helpful.

is it 4:30 yet?

4:45 here right now.

I should get back to work. Today I am learning how to add sound to videos.

The wind is really picking up. The storms should be starting soon.

 

[Charade67]

Power just went out but just for a couple of seconds. I’m glad I wasn’t in the middle of a quiz.

 

[macraven]

Happy Birthday to charade’s mom!
Hope she is sprung soon from the hospital!

 

[Pumpkin1172]

The staff felt bad that she is hospitalized on her birthday and got her a card and some flowers.

What a wonderful and amazing gesture! I hope your mom is sprung from the hospital for her birthday. That's not a great way to spend your birthday.

Edited to add...I hope the storms are not too bad. I am NOT a storm lover. They scare the bejesus out of me. Nope...don't like them...nope, nope, nope!

It's only 3:21 I'm grateful I get paid to answer a non-ringing phone today and find a perfect cruise for dh and I to see if he would like them

Me too with the cocktails!!!

Betsy.......I know someone else who named their car with that name........

Enjoy that pool time, sounds amazing.

Hawaii appeals to us too, it`s on the list.....nice idea for your 30th.....at least you`re celebrating....shouldn`t be passed over, 30 years is special.

Taking a study break.

Glad you got to nap.....it does help at times.

hope the storms aren`t too bad. I thought we would get some tonight, but the wind has died down completely, no storms.

Happy Birthday to charade’s mom!
Hope she is sprung soon from the hospital!

Amen!!!

We LOVE storms in Orlando, we are typical tourists when a storm hits!

Enjoy cruise planning!!!




Not long till bedtime for us over here......after 11pm, watched The Fog, the original one one of course, spooky. Enjoyed a glass or two of Merlot and a large glass of water now.

Already looking forward to bacon and pancakes for breakfast in the morning.....

mac.....will set an extra place.........

Now watching an episode of Big Bang......hilarious show. Then bed.....

 

[Charade67]

You had one job……

This is local to me. The best part is that it is in front of a university. (Not my university)

Oh dear.

That makes me irrationally angry......

 

[Sue M]

@Pumpkin1172 no, haven’t named her yet. If the white came in I was going to call her Stormy because I think the white with black trim looks like a storm trooper, but my daughter says that’s too much like Stormy Daniels . The red is beautiful, it has an iridescent to it. Maybe call her Red? Lol. I’m open to suggestions! I’m glad the red one came in. Husband prefers the white but I love the red!

@schumigirl wait times are getting worse. If you order a RAV4 hybrid now it’s at least a year wait, and the plug in version close to 3 yrs It seems Canadian wait times are longer than US. Smaller market.

@Charade67 thanks! And happy birthday to your mom!

@keishashadow my daughters first car she called Barbie! Current one is Marge lol.

I‘ve been a lady who lunches this week. 3 luncheons. All this socializing is exhausting lol. Didn’t do much today. We went to Costco this morning then went to Safeway cause I didn’t want a whole litre of cream! Made cottage cheese in the Instant Pot.

Having a bbq for Sunday father’s day with our daughters. Happy Father’s Day to our dads out there!

Morning all, still feels might humid here despite forecast saying otherwise. Think we are going to have a nice break for a few days from the 90 degree heat tho.

have been sitting at ipad screen nearly every morning for a month, hitting refresh in attempt to book a reservation for next year’s DVC stay over 4th of July. Well, booking one 11 months ahead of time, then slowly modifying it via extending & cancelling a date to confirm to the max 7 night reservation rule. It’s what the cool kids call ‘walking’ here I have a few other choice words in mind.

Bizarre hoops, to say the least. Could still mess it up or have somebody else poach it out from under me. something to keep me on my toes for 6 weeks each AM lol

Nice!

I feel you but, remove cats & insert kids lol

It’s been awhile since we had to pop the various hoods before starting engines on cold days. We had a possum once that stood it’s ground hissed at me …who needs coffee after that? hideous, ill-tempered creatures.

Hmm, tempting. haven’t had in ages. Oldest DS finally back from months in ATL is coming ‘round for breakfast or lunch (haven’t decided yet) later & to flop in the pool before her softball game. I was thinking making my version of egg McMuffins if i can find Canadian bacon when i do head out soon. Figured less heat involved in kitchen there.

Yep…Beware of the DVC “Walkers!” Been walking two trips!

 

[buckeev]

How’d y’all SAN folk!

Buckeev….i was just thinking of you
