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

[schumigirl]

went with an economy rental once in MCO, it was smaller than the “BOGO free” car my friend got decades ago when her parents bought a new caddy…a yugo. Mfg in the soviet bloc during the Reagan years.

It earned honors for worst car ever made lol. However, she was newly divorced and it served her well for a few years of local driving until it went to that junkyard in the sky. Not to mention a good enough reason for her parents to grab a new vehicle.

the mr is dragging me out to see Thor after we grill our hotdogs, get gas (at Sams, same as Lynne-cheapest in town) & hit up the dollar tree for wrapping paper, carmex lip gloss, toothbrushes/paste for upcoming trip.

#livingtheglamorouslife

Think we got a good price earlier tonight, hopefully still the same tomorrow……just under $2,000 for a month. Not bad at all, we’ll get it booked asap……SUV with me as an extra driver.

There’s still Yugo’s running around here, you do see the odd one occasionally. Lada’s are still coveted in many places……Yugo’s not so much……lol…….

Your temps look good for your trip……as you said, add an extra 10 degrees for Southern temps to what you have in PA……so much warmer down there, everyone says so. And I agree….when we were in NY then Orlando in July 2018, Orlando felt so much hotter than NY despite the same temp….that Southern heat is brutal. Of course some may say different……

But, you’ll have the best time on your trip…..sounds fabulous!

And enjoy that movie!!





Watches The Sixth Sense and PoTC 5 tonight……..along with some nice white wine, now having a martini……shaken not stirred of course…..

Bedtime soon…….already looking forward to bacon and I’ll make pancakes in the morning……

Schumi the best I found was Alamo mid size suv @ $1500 for Feb/March trip. Ouch. It is for almost 3 weeks. Picking up my last day in Orlando and driving it down south to have for rest of my trip Hope prices start coming down. I don’t really need an suv for most of the trip but it was cheapest. However the daughters are joking me for last week to go to the wedding so we’ll enjoy the extra room.

Lynne I heard it was insanely hot your way! I bet people were flocking to the ocean! When we had the heat dome last year we went down to the inlet beach and it was at least 10deg cooler plus a nice ocean breeze. Stay safe!
We only have Costco! But we like it and agree, they have good brands. /

I hear Thor is good. Friend went and they enjoyed it! Anyone watch Grey Man yet! I think it’s on Netflix?

Today started out cool and cloudy so I decided to throw a load of laundry in then wash my car. I thought the husband would take his car in, thought wrong. I probably should have given him a nudge!
Later in the day I got a text from a family friends daughter. Letting me know she and her sister and kids would be down at the inlet park for fish & chips. And there’s a fun spray park for the kids. So I went down. Had the fish minus chips! They are famous for the Fish & Chips. Didn’t disappoint. The girls are same age group as mine. Growing up we’ve had lots of family holidays together. And now they have kids! Always fun to see them.

Tomorrow my youngest is coming over and we’re going for her wedding dress fitting. My good friend is doing the alterations. She’s quite talented. I can’t sew a stitch!
Then going kayaking with both daughters. It’s oldest daughter’s birthday next Thursday and we’re leaving Friday for Seattle so having family birthday dinner tomorrow. I ordered a DQ cake. Asked them to put Palm Trees for decorations!

My lower back/hip is killing me. I think the bursitis is acting up. Going to massage therapist the day before we leave. Hopefully that will fix problem! I was supposed to go yesterday but she had to cancel due to Covid. I think it should be safe going next Thursday? We’ll both be wearing masks.

Mac hope you’re recovery is going well.

That`s decent Sue, I`m not sure if you get as good a deals as the US does, although their prices are higher than they used to be.

We are so ripped off in the UK, if we try to book through an American site, it transfers us automatically to the UK site.....no good deals there. We like to use the same companies so it`s our own fault in a way.

Looks like just over $2,000 for us, but that is a month. And no way will be without a car for any part of the trip. We could get a car, but we do like the SUV.

We saw the trailer for the Grey Man on Netflix, not sure about it for me, but Tom would love it. I`m still deciding if I like Virgin River or not also on Netflix.





Beautiful Saturday morning here with lovely sunshine and warm........would never win in the heat competition though........

Lazy morning for us, just enjoyed a late breakfast sitting in the garden, bacon and brioche buns, they were lush!! Copious amounts of tea too, Tom is in just making us another pot. It is gorgeous sitting out here, we had a curious fox peep through out of the trees in the distance, but it soon went back in when it saw us up here. Cat food was all gone, will get some more today.....cat food stinks when you open the can....... and topped up the water too.

Not sure of our plans today, won`t be much, doubt weather will stay nice all day so we`ll sit out this morning and enjoy it.

Doing a charcuterie board tonight for us.....bottle of red wine too. Ideal Saturday night....

Have a wonderful Saturday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Saturday. Yep, a big YAY, as the weekend is here. And ooh the so bright sunny start. Sunlight just pouring through the windows for awhile now. A mostly clear day, with some clouds, from a very weak cold front arrive around lunch time. They are not rain clouds, and the bully high weather system pumping that high heat air from the South, will chase any clouds away, and the rest of the day will be again clear skies. A most lizard happy 98 degrees, with an excessive heat warning for my area. So those few clouds will do nothing to lower the heat.

Sue, such busy news with all family, and yay, a birthday in there too. Safe travels, and yay for good fish eating. Enjoy that paddle, and hope your hip/back is not really your bursitis acting up. I think they are saying a week before an infected can resume going in the public. I would be comfortable going next week to your therapist, and wearing a mask, and would be happy she would be wearing one too. Yay, getting closer to trip now.

Keisha, yay, trip getting ever that close now too. Have fun with GD today. Pool time I hope.

Yeah, the price of rental cars is very high. But what can ya do? I do enjoy a car when on vacation. So far, I got the two weeks at 800 for a full size car in September, 425 for the week in August, for a small SUV. It’s just the two of us, and we don’t take much with us, so full sized car/small SUV is fine with us. Last year, I paid 400 for the two weeks in September for a full size car. So same almost exact time this Fall, is double the price this year. Sad, but is what it is. All prices of cars are way too high. But I will keep checking until the flight down. But I always book knowing and budget for the first price I book for. Glad to see I got a little lower price, as 100 drop so far, for the two weeks.

Other than movie today, not much planned. Made some oatmeal with fresh fruit, that I know my MIL will also eat, so DH already just out the door to spend the day with his mum. Older one works, so he’s busy today. A little one and me time soon enough. Hoping to do some errands before the early afternoon movie. Then the rest of the day? Maybe a swim? Not sure. It will be hot.

Super happy Saturday. Hope all get some time to relax today. And enjoy this Summer heat.

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all.

Thor was a real romp. Totally different tone that franchise this far, which is one of my fav marvel tales

LOL throughout the film & they were decidedly in on the joke. Always nice to be pleasantly surprised when critic aren’t kind

2eldest DS combined BD cookout tomorrow. Moving slowly here, hut hut. Daylight is burning

And it’s HOT wheeee, beats snow

 

[Charade67]

Happy Saturday. I am procrastinating today. I am supposed to be working on a discussion board post, but I really don't want to do it. I could skip it if I was willing to sacrifice a letter grade. So far today I have slept in late, baked a coffee cake, cleaned up the kitchen, made and ate lunch. Now I need to clean up my lunch dishes.

Charade, fun to play with pictures, no? You’re doing good.

Looks good Charade, hope you`re really enjoying the course.

IDK looks pretty good to me

Thanks y'all. I am enjoying this class so much more than I thought I would. This assignment turned out to be more fun than I expected. It was very tedious, but I enjoyed making things disappear.

Never was a Girl Guide......lol....no surprises there! But Savannah looks stunning.

B was a Girl Scout for 12 years. The founder of GSUSA is from Savannah, so scout troops are always planning visits. We keep having odd experiences when we go there though.

Yes, as hot or hotter than those in that Southern state, as to be 98 on Saturday, 99 on Sunday. Record for Sunday is 98. Eh, difference between a steamy 98 or 99 is what? Well, bragging rights? Don’t care.

This is a stay inside with the a/c kind of weekend. We are supposed to get more rain next week. That will cool it off a little, but not much.

Never heard that term But, ouch

A bunionette is like a bunion but smaller and on the little toe. Right now it's not painful, but I know it will bother me after waling around Universal for several hours.

Been looking at rental cars today for September.....slightly better, at least they`re coming in just under $2000 instead of over this time!!

Wow, that's crazy. I know you are going to be there for several weeks, but that still seems crazy high. We will probably need to rent a car when we go to California. We are trying to figure out how to keep the transportation charges to a minimum. Planning for DL is different from planning for WDW.

I need to stop procrastination and do some work. The assignment isn't due until Thursday, but I am trying to complete it early so I can focus all of next week on photoshop. Next week's photoshop assignment is to design a movie poster for a fictional movie called Outside the Walls. First I have to decide what genre I want it to be. Any thoughts?

Certainly is better than snow!!!

I told Tom what you said earlier about Thor....think we might try and see it sometime, you know I`m not a fan of those type of movies, but I might like it.

You have a lovely weekend planned for sure.......tomorrow will be fabulous!

Yes, we pay it as we won`t be without a car, we`re used to high rental car prices so it`s nothing new for us. We`re there a month in September so it was never going to be a bargain price.

Glad you`re enjoying the course, it makes a difference if you like what you`re doing.

I like odd experiences sometimes.......lol......I doubt I`ll ever see Savannah though.






Been a quiet day today. Dropped off a birthday gift for one of my friend`s husband, he is hard to buy for, one of the worst really. But managed to get him something he genuinely seemed to like and a bottle of his favourite brandy. Came back home and had a lazy day of finishing the TR....finally!!

Tonight we had a large charcuterie board, far too much for two of us, but we managed a decent amount with a glass of red.

Might watch a movie tonight, will go through to the back room and switch the big tv on later and see what we fancy. We noticed last night it is starting to get darker that little bit earlier, back to cosy candles now!

Supposed to get high winds again tomorrow....not too bad but high enough.

 

[Charade67]

I like odd experiences sometimes.......lol......I doubt I`ll ever see Savannah though.

I should clarify that they were odd personal experiences. The first time we went we were going to tour Juliette Gordon Low’s house. Just as we arrived their plumbing backed up. There was also a couple of Girl Scout troops waiting to take the tour. We were all sent to the gift shop while they frantically tried to deal with the plumbing issue. We did eventually get to take the tour. When we got back home I realized that during all the confusion they neglected to take our payment. I wrote a letter of explanation and mailed them a check to cover our admission.
The second time we went it was just B and I. We spent the week of her spring break there. While she and I were in Savannah my MIL died. Kind of put a damper on the vacation. Dh insisted that we stay and finish our trip, but it just wasn’t the same.
It really is a nice city though and you can easily spend just a day, weekend, or even a week there an not run out of things to do.

 

[Lynne G]

Both little one and I liked the movie. We both thought Guns and Roses were probably paid well for use of one of their albums’s songs.

Back relaxing and deciding what for dinner, though neither of us is hungry yet. We did hit chic fil a before the movie, and oh course, iced coffee, as both are just minutes away from the movie theater we were at. We rarely eat in the movie theaters lately.

96 degrees out, so still hot. Was a beautiful drives on the highway, as so blue skies, and so bright with the afternoon sun.

Tomorrow, who knows. Though alarm will be set, and trash to curb. Only two things that will be done in our Sunday.

This Saturday night? Hanging out, and enjoying an AC cooled home.

 

[keishashadow]

We both thought Guns and Roses were probably paid well for use of one of their albums’s songs.

Aw well they should! Actually, multiple GNR songs utilized in the film. Love the diverse soundtrack where else would u hear this band with Enya & ABBA lol?

Full disclosure: I’m a big GNR fan lucky to see in concert in their glory days

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, Keisha, I think we were silently singing along. We knew those songs well. as I’m a rock fan, and brought my kids up on it. Did have little one go through her pop stage, and saw Ms.Swift in concert. She then grew up quick, as has been to 2 Metallica concerts, and a Ghost one, so far.

Ended up with chicken noodle soup, and grilled cheese sandwiches, with a salad on the side. The less to heat up our in the middle placed little kitchen.

Asked little one what she wanted to do. Quick with online with her friends, as already she’s loudly laughing. Headphones does that to ya. Why I now have ear buds in mine. If crap on the cable, will see what movies we have. Should be a totally relaxing Saturday night for us, as thought we would.

Hope all are enjoying this evening.

Oh......I was imagining sorts of spooky or sinister things as opposed to what you said.......show`s my mind really does belong in the dark side!!!

Full disclosure: I’m a big GNR fan lucky to see in concert in their glory days

80`s pop Princess here........Abba are more my cup of tea!!

Did toy with heavy metal when I was a teen due to heavy metal loving school boyfriend........Judas Priest, AC/DC, Motorhead and so on.......was always a Queen fan throughout though along with the classic 80`s stuff. But, the heavy metal phase I outgrew quickly much to my mother`s delight!!! Everyone joked only I could have a heavy metal loving boyfriend that looked like a clean cut sportsman

I can name one GNR song.......one. And I`m sure you can guess which one.......lol.....







Ended up not watching a movie last night, some friends came round unexpectedly and we chatted the evening away. We are all talking about how we all seem to still be hibernating and not getting much organised together.......none of us are bothered about Covid anymore so no real excuses.

So, it was nice having an evening with good friends and enjoying some nice wine, much better than a movie we can watch anytime. And we had such a late night in the end. They just left as they couldn`t get a taxi, so they stayed over and had breakfast with us before getting one of their son`s to come pick them up. She loves staying here, says it`s like a hotel and my guest sheets are nicer than hers......lol....I doubt that very much!

And Tom made everything as we sat at the kitchen table and chatted.....well, I made the pancake batter and tea

Got some fresh produce shopping to do this morning and want to look for a phone cover for the new phone I got, don`t like the one I ordered.

Then French Grand Prix........not a favourite either but we`ll watch it in the background.

Think I`ll make lasagne for dinner tonight with salad, will buy some fresh lasagne sheets from the deli when we`re out. Dried is ok but fresh is better. Someone told me recently you can buy frozen pasta??????? What the heck is that all about......why??

Happy Sunday........​

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, a beautiful sunrise, so bright and sunny out. A little cooler start, as 75 out now. What a clear sky does. And so quiet. Decided to make waffles today. Almost as easy as pancakes, but decided to get the waffle iron out. Finished, and enjoying some tea, and DH’s company, before he leaves for his mum’s again.

And ah, the heat wave continues. Chance to tie or beat the 2001 98 degrees this day was just as warm, as today, 21 years ago. 98 or 99 the high temp. And a clear sky day. I so love seeing that just so beautiful color rich sky blue. But yep, another excessive heat warning issued.

Thus, not much else news. Alarm has been set. Older one works, so will be a little one and me by lunchtime.

Nice Schumi, to enjoy friends visit. Fresh pasta is always good. We buy it sometimes. Not sure I’ve seen fresh lasagna noodles. I tend to just buy fresh penne or cheese ravioli. Sounds like a perfect dinner, as pasta meals are so tasty.

Early morning programs are either infomercial types, news, or reruns from years ago. I too tend to pick a channel more for background then actually watching.

Super Serene Sunday homies. If ever a day to rest, and relax, it should be on a Sunday. And Mac, sending some more gentle mummy dust get well. Hope you are feeling better today.

 

[schumigirl]

Been a lovely day surprisingly......planned a quiet one but friends decided otherwise and we went quadbiking over the fields and then had some Sunday lunch in one of the pubs in the next village. It`s breezy but we had a lot of fun together.

They all have their own quad bikes too except one....so they shared with him......they were like kids arguing over whose turn it was!! Men.

So, no dinner required after a late lunch and a large lunch at that. We all ate the roasts of the day which were beef and turkey.....both were beautifully cooked an served. Beef was rare and turkey was juicy.

Glad of no lasagne in the end as I`m not fond of pasta, it`s the only pasta dish I ever eat and even, then that`s not very often. Still getting over someone having frozen cheese ravioli....bleurgh.

Did get our rental car booked.......and of course Tom decided we might as well go for the larger car .......yep, more expensive too!! But, it`ll be nice hopefully and we do like a good sized car over there.

Hope our Janet`s boys double birthday celebration is going well.....I`m sure it`ll be marvellous!!!

Time for a pot of tea and some scones I whipped up this morning.......

 

[Charade67]

Well, I managed to get absolutely nothing accomplished yesterday and most of today. I finally sat down this evening and made myself do my discussion board post. Just submitted it a few minutes ago.

I think we have figures out how we are going to handle transportation when we go to California. Since we plan to stick to the resorts, we really won't need a rental car all week. It looks like ti will be several hundred dollars cheaper if we just hire a car to take us from the airport to our hotel in Hollywood, then get another car to take us from Hollywood to Disneyland, and then get another car to take us from our hotel at Disney to the airport. We are also considering avoiding the Los Angeles airport and fly into the Burbank airport and then fly home from the Orange County airport.

80`s pop Princess here........Abba are more my cup of tea!!

I love 80's pop. I never got into the metal bands of the 80's, but dh likes them. I have several Abba songs on my phone.

 

[Robo56]

Good Sunday evening Sans family

and good luck to your Grandson....Engineering is a fine degree to have. And it`s a good option to not have to choose exactly which type of Engineering till the second year, never heard of that over here. You pick one and stick with it. Kyle loved doing the Chemical Engineering degree, very math focussed which he loves, and leads to many different career options. Your grandson will do wonderfully.

Thank you Schumi. The engineering students have to choose which area of engineering they will specialize in by Spring semester of the their sophomore year. He had thought about a degree in business like his sister or Engineering. He said he thought he would like engineering better. As long as he is happy we are happy for him.

I had remembered you saying that Kyle had a degree in Chemical Engineering. I know you are proud of all his accomplishments.

Yes, couples should be couples not roommates......romance should never be far away from every relationship. Funny you mention knight in shining armour....one of "our" songs is Peter Cetera The Glory of Love which has that wonderful line about being your knight....love it. I`m the same, don`t feel as if we`ve been together more than half an hour at times......but over 30 years is certainly something to celebrate!!!

Beautiful thought for sure.

Happy Birthday to your lovely granddaughter.......I know how proud you are of all of them...

Thank you.

Keisha Happy Birthday to your sons.

6 weeks today till opening night of HHN!!

Looking forward to some more information on the Houses and Scare Zones. Looks like it will be a busy HHN. All the UMH Tours dates sold out for September and looks like the October dates will be gone soon.

Let the scares begin.









Mac hope you and your mister are feeling better.



It was another hot one here today. We are going to cool down a little this week Into the 80’s so that will give a little relief. We have a nice hard rain falling now and maybe this will bring the temps down tonight.


Had a sisters day out with lunch and shopping with my sister K yesterday. We went into HomeGoods and they had some Halloween things already.










We went by Bath & Body Works and they already had my favorite Fall shower jel and lotion Marshmallow Pumkin Latte. My sister bought this for me a number of years ago and I have been a fan of it since then.

I found some hand sanitizer and a fun Halloween Witches hand holder for the sanitizer.



Always enjoy looking at Halloween merch.


Hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday.

Glad to hear you`re getting organised for that trip Charade, always good to have an idea of what you`ll need to do, and not need to do, sounds like you won`t need a car while you`re there.

Love Abba.......Dancing Queen (obviously) and Super Trooper are among two of my favourites, but there isn`t really a bad song from them.

Good Sunday evening Sans family

Hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday.

An Engineering Degree will lead him to have many choices, not necessarily having to stick with Engineering directly. Kyle is in Financial Advice and there are many who veer into Finance with the same degree he has. Oh goodness yes, we are incredibly proud of him, it was a difficult Degree and they lost a few along the way who just couldn`t do it. I`m sure your Grandson will fall into something he loves and with that Degree behind him he`ll do good.

Love Marshmallow Pumkin Latte.......I have a few items with that. I`m enjoying Summer Melody right now...very summery and fruity fragrance. Love the hand sanitiser!!

Yes, going to be a busy one this year....I saw the tours had been sold out for a while now.....

Glad you had a nice visit with your sister and yes, love the Halloween products.......we don`t get that as good over here, so it`s nice to see your options over there.

Have a great week Robbie.......




After all the wandering through the fields yesterday on the quad bikes, we were out for the count last night. Still a little breezy out there but it was lovely in the bedroom last night......thank goodness we don`t need A/C running over here.....we just don`t get the same type of weather that needs it.

This original lizzard is a happy one.......

Off out early this morning for an early appointment, then take something back that`s not suitable, maybe do some housework and then we have an appointment this afternoon for a couple of hours....always look forward to that one!!

As we`ll be late out, going to have fish and chips from the chippy......Monday night treat!

Starting out the day with croissants, fruit and some of the new breakfast tea, very nice it is too.

Hope Pumpkin had a lovely weekend with the little one, I`m sure she did!!

Have a lovely Monday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Yay, a Robo post. Hope you are doing well, and nice to have lunch out with your sister. Hehe, around here, even little one and I thought, so much for Summer, more and more Fall colors and items are arriving in the stores, with all the back to school items too. Like most of the smell from Bath and Body stores.

Glad to hear Schumi is enjoying a new tea.

Sigh, the weekend has gone, and it surely feels like a Monday. And the heat wave, and excess heat warnings issued today, as not done with the hot weather yet. Another day, the humidity will make it feel like 110. Probably the hottest of days, when we were already hot. With dew points in the mid 70’s, that hazy, hot and humid h’s are here. With that, even with glorious sunshine now, the clouds will be arriving soon, as another cold front is arriving. Though little one hopes for a good thunderstorm, so far, early weather news saying just chances of spotty rain showers. Based on our chances lately, we may not be that rain winner. No matter, with that cold front arriving, tomorrow will feel cool, with tacos being enjoyed in a low 80’s high temp day.

But it is still Summer, as 90’s highs in this week’s weather anyway. And other than some rain chances today, no rain chance until Friday. So some very dry days this Summer so far.

But early bird, and back to week day routine I am. Tea for me too.

Make it a most Marvelous Monday.

 

[Sue M]

Schumi I get kicked on Canadian rental site too so no idea what US cost would be for car! But I know pre Covid we paid a heck of a lot less! Love the Young and Fun sign isn’t that the truth lol. About how I’m feeling at the moment.

Lynne thanks it was a really fun Saturday. And a beautiful day to be on the water!

My girls took a 2 person kayak and I took a solo. We paddled around our end of the inlet and in a cove the Shogun movie set is still there, my daughters hadn’t seen it yet! Looking forward to when it comes out. I read the books years ago.
Daughters fiancé came and spent the afternoon at the house with his future father in law! He dropped us off at the boat launch, parking there is always problematic. And picked us up. I also sent him on an errand to pick up the DQ cake I ordered!
We came back and showered up. And enjoye the patio. The kids played several games of backgammon.

Before we went out we went down the lane to my good friend who is doing the wedding dress alterations. Not much to do, fits her like a glove! Just a little under the arm and shorten hem. It was so cute, her grand daughter age 3 was there and was excited to see the princess! Lol.

Ugh my lower back is killing me. I think yesterday was the worst day. I took Robaxecet (Kirkland) and put Voltaren on. Also had a soak in the hot tub. Doing whatever I can. Massage therapist recommended a portable recharging percussion massager so I can pack it to take with me. I ordered on Amazon last night. Hope she can work her magic on Thursday!

Keisha I’d like to see Thor! Maybe one evening if it’s still playing we’ll go to the cinema in City Walk and see it! Can’t think of the name of any Guns songs but I’m sure I’ll recognize when I hear them! I was never a heavy metal fan!

Charade I never rent car when we have a theme park vacay. I find it cheaper and convenient to Uber/Lyft. I only rent when I go to South Fla to Deerfield Beach where I really need it. I already have March (nephew) wedding trip booked. Looking forward to returning to my fav little spot. And looks like my Universal Mardi Gras trip may not be solo after all lol. My travel buddy is looking into coming.

Robo sounds like a nice sister outing! But I’m not ready to look at Fall! We waited so long here for summer!

Just got heat alert on cell phone! Guess it’s going to be a hot week here. So maybe Orlando won’t be such a shock to the system!

This morning is pre trip mani/pedi! I have clothes washed and laid out. Tomorrow I’ll go thru and make final decisions on what I’ll pack. I know I have way too much out lol. Then all I have to do is iron what I’m packing and roll up into packing cubes.
Also have a friends birthday lunch today after mani/pedi.

Time to pop a pod in the Keurig!
