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

[schumigirl]

And it's Monday

Oh well, back at work with a tea in my hand...so I'm blessed to have a paying job where I can sit at a desk, with a tea, and play around and not be micromanaged every single minute. I really do try to find the blessings daily.

Had a yummy dinner/supper last night. I whipped up a seafood linguine last night. It was delicious. Being land locked peeps when you want seafood, you will find good frozen suppliers for frozen Tonight is leftovers from the weekend.

Not sure what else today has is store. It's actually half decent today. It will be decently warm today - hopefully the wind stays away. Yesterday was hot...but so windy, you couldn't be outside without dirt blowing into your face.


I just embrace the humidity...and rock the big hair/curls. It's either that or pull it back.

That's still freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He had great lap time!
I average around 1km/10 minutes give or take when I'm out and about walking. So his lap times are freaking impressive!!!!
I hope he is able to keep his joints healthy to keep it up!

Gosh...if I was close, I would be knocking on your doorstep!

It sure does

Well, I should start shuffling some papers! Departments need their papers to do their work too!

Have a great day everyone!

Thanks Pumpkin .....yes, he has fabulous pace, his running club tease him, as he only joined in October/November last year, but is one of the fastest in the group despite that. They are so proud of him too and how far he has come regarding speed and stamina, he also felt he still had something else to give, which bodes well for the next ones he`s doing. Seeing him cross that line yesterday was phenomenal.

Yes, he eats a lot of good fats for the joints including salmon, any oily fish really and avocado`s and so on......he never eats crappy take out from anywhere, so he is super easy to feed.

We have bought frozen seafood on occasion, and if you get decent stuff it works.....usually frozen langoustines for us as we are so lucky to be beside a coastline that has lovely fresh seafood we can buy off the boats in the morning if we get down early enough. Crabs from here are hard to beat, except Scottish of course!

Have a great day......






We`ve had a super day. We went with friends to a race track where we can drive cars like they`re stock cars.......maybe not as wild as that but it is a huge amount of fun.

Secret.....I adore Volvo`s ......always had a thing for them and Saab`s when they were a thing, maybe something about having Swedish heritage........I do like the SUV`s so I got a drive of one today around the track which was fantastic!! Also drove a Ginetta G56!!! That was the bomb!!! Surprise arranged for us by our lovely husbands.......

It was a gloriously hot day too which was nice, so we loved it.

Back home, had some baked ham, couscous and salad for dinner, now sitting out enjoying late afternoon sunshine.......and like Pumpkin.....enjoying some tea and we added toasted scones too.

Tea is ready........

RIP Olivia newton john, 73. Will always be sandy in grease to me.

up at 6 am to haul the GD to gymnastics, it’s turning out to be a long, hot & humid day here. believe it’s rained every day here for 2 weeks. Back yard & garden looks downright tropical

GC in my hot little hand, decided to give the closest red lobster another whirl yesterday despite it being so lack-luster over the last few years.

Shockingly improved how often does that happen? Maybe the whole blame everything bad on covid as to quality/service is becoming passe!

Given filet in lieu of sirloin we ordered with the (small) lobster surf & turf, shrimp scampi, the biscuits and an obscenely decadent slab of chocolate cake. we basically rolled out of there and made like beached whales the rest of the night.

So, it wasn`t a half marathon he was running after all...it was a 10K race with over 1,300 runners registered. Kyle came in 106th out of them with a time just over 40 minutes.

Very impressive outing!

That and she will eat a 5 Guys burger

Joke amongst my kids is when they want a Five guys burger, they come to mom’s house as the price is right. Will give the chain the nod on the fries

Winner winner chicken dinner this evening..
We ate like pigs

Oh man…

when the pigs start eating the chickens it’s time to hide in the hen house

speaking of creepy, TWD anthology series (name escapes me) starts next sunday. Be there or be square

If anyone is in my neighborhood tomorrow, come on over for chicken

I used up half a zuke & airfried it for lunch, made hoagies for dinner. Wish i held out for the chicken

lol.....I`ll bring our ham and we`ll feast!! It was big enough for two days and will still be juicy today, cooking it in coca cola is a lovely way of doing it.

My fav Way too. Every now & then I make what they call a pig-picking one…biggest/cheapest one u can find as it cooks all day, slathered in marmalade/mustard dumped on top. Not to be confused with a glaze. Then shredded down/picked. Not everyone’s cuppa tea but, those who do like it make it disappear quickly lol. It’s good for a large potluck, served on those Hawaiian slider rolls.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Well, I ran to a new boutique I seen when dh and I were out and about yesterday to see if I could find a dress. Sadly, if your not a size 2, you can't shop there Then they wonder why they don't have enough business It is sooo frustrating. I'm in what I'm finding out is " mid-size " and I'm definitely an apple shape and float between sizes. So finding something to look good but that doesn't look like I'm preggers or like I'm an 80 yr old lady

@Lynne G What is your countdown at now?

@Sue M Did you make it home yet? How was the rest of your trip? I need some deets!!!!

Alright...back to shuffling some papers. Our health and safety gal is here visiting for the week doing inspections, and doing some training of new employees.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

RIP Olivia newton john, 73. Will always be sandy in grease to me.

Awwww...I didn't see that until now.

That makes me really sad. And I have the same thoughts...she will always be Sandy to me!

Sad news about ONJ…..she was a very beautiful lady indeed. Yes, loved her as Sandy and we just watched the video of the song Xanadu the other day on the 80’s channel……stunning.

One of my favourites with ham is blend brown sugar, a whole cored and peeled pineapple blended down together with fresh ginger and Dijon and then caked on top to be roasted for the last 40 minutes or so……omg!!! It’s amazing. I love marmalade in toppings, but Tom is not a fan. Oh I love those rolls!!!

lol on the beached whale! Yes, Kyle would have done that cake justice on vacation…….


Pumpkin……yes, sometimes that i fit is a pest! Something I frequently find with dresses……..it is frustrating. You’ll find something. I’m struggling with shoes right now……..








Still lovely and warm tonight, we’re going into another heatwave apparently, but not as hot as the last one……will do us just fine, we’re not greedy for good weather over here!

And the tubs of Christmas sweets are in the grocery stores now!!!

Far…….too……..early!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Olivia to me was that let’s get physical video. Hehe, I guess yep, Sandy. Too young to pass away. Sad.

So hot, could not wait to change my clothes. Was nice to see all in office today.

Aww, little one made me some iced tea when I got home. Sigh, not even feeling dinner again. And the heat wave with heat warnings, with feeling like 100, is tomorrow too.

Yep, like those cook forever meats. Tend to only do them in the winter though. I do make a good burger, but sometimes when we are out, and in a burger want mood, picky little one makes the choice. Did make a reservation for Mythos for first full day. Little one thinks their burgers are good. Smartly won’t eat from any of the quick service ones in the parks.

Ack, Pumpkin, hope dress shopping goes better soon. In the past, I did find a nice dress at Macy’s. Will cross my fingers and toes you find that perfect dress.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening everyone. I just got finished watching Xanadu. Such a guilty pleasure for me. Well, at least the music is good. I was sad to hear the news about Olivia today.

I finished up my classes last night, so I have a 2 week break before fall semester starts. I'm just waiting for my last grades to post.

Not much happening here today. Went out shoe shopping with dh later this morning/afternoon, then I went back to the mall to check a few other stores I didn't want to drag him into. I went into a few places to find a dress for my sister's wedding. I found one I might be able to wear at Marshall's. If I don't wear it, at least I can take it back. They do have a great return policy.

I hope you had better luck shoe shopping than I did. I'm thinking of going to the Skechers outlet on Friday. Only problem is that it's a 2 hour drive.

fully admit to enjoying ‘good’ fast food. No, that is not an oxymoron lol

My favorite fast food was Pollo Tropical when we lived in FL. It was actually a fairly healthy choice.

So, it wasn`t a half marathon he was running after all...it was a 10K race with over 1,300 runners registered. Kyle came in 106th out of them with a time just over 40 minutes. First 3 runners who are more than amateurs but not quite professionals who don`t do much else excpet run, all came in at just over 30 minutes, so around 10 minutes difference from the winners and with a time he was exceptionally happy with.

I don't know much about running, but that sounds really good to me. I'll never be a runner. I have arthritis in my knees.

Ah yes, been sitting in my office a while before watching the sunrise. Still cloudy, but love that golden skies you see in the horizon.

Beautiful sunrise. I am rarely up in time to see one.

GC in my hot little hand, decided to give the closest red lobster another whirl yesterday despite it being so lack-luster over the last few years.

My favorite Red Lobster meal is the crab linguini Alfredo. So good, but so bad for me.

Well, I ran to a new boutique I seen when dh and I were out and about yesterday to see if I could find a dress. Sadly, if your not a size 2, you can't shop there

One of the reasons I hate clothes shopping.

 

[macraven]

I am not fond of shoe or clothes shopping.
Maybe more so than charade.

I recently did give away all the clothes I knew I would never wear again so my closet is not that full.


Did go through my shoe rack also.
My closet is a lot lighter now.

I am not a clothes shopper still.

Never found it fun to do as always needed to try items on in the store

I have no idea why I never had that shopping bug.
My parental units were addicted to clothing and shoe stores and would spend hours at it

All my sons were mall rats and would spend hours in the stores.
As adults, they still are shoppers.

I don’t know any man that has a dozen different types of shoes.

 

[schumigirl]

And we have a celebration today.........

keishashadow........it`s a birthday celebration for our lovely Janet who is 21 again today.......I`m lucky to be able to call Janet a very good friend, so I`m wishing her a very and hope you have a wonderful day which I know you will.....

Xanadu is such a wonderfully camp movie, you can`t help but love it.

Yes, I`m not a runner, never have been, never will be, but his times are excellent for anyone, not least someone who hasn`t been running very long. He`s talking of doing a marathon next year if he can........you can apply for the London Marathon, but it`s a lottery if you get a place or not.

Enjoy your two weeks off before starting up again!!

I do love having a good clearout of clothes! I do keep stuff I like and wear a lot, but do get rid of a lot now and again.

Detest shoe shopping, but don`t mind clothes shopping so much.....both in stores and online as things are so easy to send back.....the courier comes back to collect any returns at a time to suit you, so it`s ideal.

No, my two aren`t shoppers either, although Tom is very patient when I`m shopping and is a joy to have with me when we do shop for clothes together. And no, he has maybe 4 pairs of dress shoes, so I agree, not all men have loads of shoes.




It is gorgeous again this morning!!! What a view!!!

We have another hot day (for us) today again......ain`t gonna win no competitions, but it`ll be beautiful and we`ll enjoy this mini heatwave again, might only reach the low 80`s, which I gather some don`t consider hot .....but we`ll take it!!!

Will be grilling out for dinner tonight, chicken skewers will be prominent, and we`ll see what else we opt to eat. Salad and spicy couscous I`m sure will be on offer too.

After tea, will have some croissants and fruit........I have some marmalade that the lady from the farm made, always a treat! I`m going to try make some lemon curd this weekend, not sure how it`ll turn out, but will give it a bash.

So, early venture out shopping.....cannot seem to find the strappy shoe I`m after......it isn`t the end of the world if I don`t but would be nice.

Happy Tequila Tuesday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, back to this view today, but that’s okay. Still here before the actual sunrise at 6 minutes after 6am today. And a hot one. 84 degrees when I left the home, and was oh so muggy feeling. Lots of h words today. Hazy, Hot, Humid, and a Happy birthday to Keisha! Party time!

Oh, and wouldn’t you know. It’s a Tuesday. So, Keisha,


Hehe, the day Mac can make her Taco Bell run. No pizza there yet. But at least other on menu for now.

So, let’s eat a taco or two, and wish Keisha a very happy birthday.

Most terrific Taco Tuesday all.

T minus 4. Counting down until that wee hour flight.

 

[schumigirl]

Well, didn`t get shoes......didn`t want to end up being 8 foot tall and crippled, if I had bought what was on show that`s how I would have ended up! Will try another store I like tomorrow.

Had my friend`s little Granddaughter for an hour or so today, took her down to the beach for some ice cream before dropping her back off at my friend`s house.

The beach is glorious looking at it, and almost deserted at this end, other end where the tourists visit and locals too is much busier.

Got a million of these pictures....we are very lucky to live in such a gorgeous and photogenic area.

And this time next week we`ll be in Scotland....home of the most spectacular sunsets, hopefully the weather will work in our favourite especially as my cousin from Long Island will be there too. Managed to add in an extra night which will be nice.

Time for lunch, almost 1pm.....I resisted getting ice cream with Elise......hungry now!!

 

[Robo56]

Good Tuesday morning everyone

A very Happy Birthday to your lovely husband Robbie.......

Yes, our men don`t like fuss do they, but they deserve it......hope he has a wonderful day with you and friends.....

Thank you Schumi.

And glad your sister is improving.....good to hear that news. I agree, time spent with family is very precious.

She is doing a lot better.

And happy new hair and feet!!! You`ll be glamorous and dancing at the same time......

Nothing better than salon time. Does make one feel pampered for sure.

Happy Birthday to your main squeeze Robbie!
Let there be cake and red balloons for him!

Thanks Mac. Hope you and your hubby are doing lots better.

That sounds like a pretty severe storm to do that much damage. I hope the clean up is fast. Happy birthday to your Mister! I hope the little party you have planned goes well. We always need to have more reasons to celebrate and get together. It creates great memories!

Thank you Pumpkin we have gotten all the storm clean up done. Hubby’s party was nice.

A very happy birthday to Robo’s DH. Hope his family lunch was enjoyed, and glad he likes that different doctor. Ack, if our times don’t match up, but maybe another time. I do enjoy our talks over coffee.

Thank you Lynne. I was sorry to see our times would not work. Our coffee chats are nice.

Pool was so lovely. Now back home.

Nice looking pool for a day cooling off.

Thinking of going shoe shopping tomorrow. Not my favorite thing to do, but I have been wearing my "Baby Yoda" Crocs almost every day since I started having problems with my toe. I need to get some real shoes.

Good luck being sent your way for shoe shopping.

Their deli section always catches my eye after i hit their bakery

Publix has nice baked goods. The Publix by us has the best subs I have every had.

Only times I go out is to the private ladies gym in town
I had to take a pass on it until I had a doc release that i was covid free
Started back to it yesterday.

Great to hear you are feeling well enough to get back to the gym.

Hello sunshines, I’m baaaack, in black after my crew ran the mr & I ragged. We ate, and ate, then ate some more. I’m at the point I don’t want to look at a carb

Good to see you back. Nice picture of you and your family.

Happy, happy to your mr!

Thank you.

Hi everyone. Long day today. This morning I took my final anatomy test. I needed 82/150 and scored 138, so a solid A in that class.

Congratulations on your anatomy test score.

So, it wasn`t a half marathon he was running after all...it was a 10K race with over 1,300 runners registered. Kyle came in 106th out of them with a time just over 40 minutes. First 3 runners who are more than amateurs but not quite professionals who don`t do much else excpet run, all came in at just over 30 minutes, so around 10 minutes difference from the winners and with a time he was exceptionally happy with.

Enjoy your break.


Happy Birthday Janet





Hubby’s birthday lunch was so nice Sunday. We enjoyed all the kiddos visiting. Hubby picked his meal. It was a Southern meal. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, sliced tomatoes, angel eggs, yeast rolls. Everyone ate it up. He wanted a pineapple unpside down cake too. Had planned on the strawberry chantilly cake, but he wanted pineapple upside down cake so I made 2 of those.

He had such a good time. There was a lot of love and laughter. Perfect birthday for him.

I made a lasagna yesterday. Texted son and daughter in law to come by and take some home.

It has continued to be hot and humid here.

Did get up to my offfice to get some paperwork done yesterday. Things had piled up a bit.

Getting ready to head out to watch little J this morning.

Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone.

 

[macraven]

party all day long today Sis!
let the family treat you like a queen.

Today you are on the pedestal at your house
Live it up and eat cake all day long!

 

[Lynne G]

Have fun with little J, Robo. What fun he will have. And nice your DH had such a good time for his birthday.

That sun is shining. Feels like 94 degrees. Will certainly feeling like over 100 this afternoon. Real temp high is 97. So darn humid.

 

[schumigirl]

Glad to hear your sister is doing much better Robbie.....must have been such a worry for you at the time.

Thanks, I think he is a natural, now he wishes he had taken it up as a youngster. Heck he could have been an Olympian by now......lol......

Enjoy your time with the little one today Robbie....they certainly keep us young at that age!!

party all day long today Sis!
let the family treat you like a queen.

Today you are on the pedestal at your house
Live it up and eat cake all day long!

Janet`s family really do know how to party and celebrate well!!!

I like the eat cake all day part.......lol......





I`ve just had the first plums off the tree this afternoon. They are so sweet and thankfully not too many birds have attacked them so they are mostly whole. The ones that drop are always attractive to the animals wandering around the trees.

Need a cold drink now....but will be lemonade this afternoon, not the new Gin of the month which finally arrived today.......

Different mixers always come with the selected gin for that month and snacks from the area. This month it`s from Cornwall, so we have clotted cream fudge and local flavoured nuts.....we`ll enjoy one of those cocktails at the weekend I think.

 

[keishashadow]

Morning all. Woke up to the mr‘s words of wisdom to be careful getting out of bed due to my ‘elderly, brittle bones’. um, ok then Interesting take on wishing one HB.

He’s off on a walk in this humid mess, then he promised to return to make a nice breakfast. Youngest DS will be bopping around pre work, need to remind him to save some bacon For him.

My favorite fast food was Pollo Tropical when we lived in FL. It was actually a fairly healthy choice.

didn’t know u lived in FL for a time. Sweet. I’ve seen that stand in kissimmee. not sure I’d like the seasoning…was told it’s a strong citrus sort? Afraid it might have cilantro in it, my nemesis in most south of the border food

My favorite Red Lobster meal is the crab linguini Alfredo. So good, but so bad for me.

It seems very popular. So rich looking, could never wrap my head around Alfredo or other white sauces for some reason. picky re Mac & cheese too if it falls in that category

I am not fond of shoe or clothes shopping.
Maybe more so than charade.

I consider it my favorite sport

I don’t know any man that has a dozen different types of shoes.

pretty sure at least one of my DS has far more, bit of a sneaker head. I tease him for wearing a hideous pair of Kanye west shoes in the parks…can only describe as white crocs on steroids, I swear his feet look like giant goat hoofs.

Let’s just say he got the last laugh when the rains came thru repeatedly in disney. he didn’t have wet socks or ruined sneakers when we waded thru water in the parks nearly up to our knees in spots.

i kept thinking of snakes in the area with heavy foliage in animal kingdom. didn’t help we had seen multiple small black ones scurrying around the ground near our feet when waiting for GD to come down a slide at typhoon lagoon.

He`s talking of doing a marathon next year if he can........you can apply for the London Marathon, but it`s a lottery if you get a place or not.

the prestigious ones are so popular. Know many who have been trying to book the various offerings at WDW, difficult even if you buy the running club membership I’m told.

Ah, back to this view today, but that’s okay. Still here before the actual sunrise at 6 minutes after 6am today. And a hot one.

i don’t mind the heat, it’s the unexpected persistent humidity & rain we’ve had that is making it miserable here.

seems like you’ve been at office a lot, did they adjust your remote working schedule?

Had my friend`s little Granddaughter for an hour or so today, took her down to the beach for some ice cream before dropping her back off at my friend`s house.

ice cream makes everything better . Sounds like fun. must saw I’ve never seen beaches with that specific color of golden hued sand, beautiful

sounds like an amazing meal. will say, you must make an out of this world meatloaf for it to be requested for a birthday meal!!!

Here, only one of my family members will Touch Meatloaf. Not just mine, which i think is rather tasty, any version. Same with pineapple upside down cake.

party all day long today Sis!
let the family treat you like a queen.

Today you are on the pedestal at your house
Live it up and eat cake all day long!

Thanks, i’m all caked out lol. More of a savory indulger lately. the mr & GD are kidnapping me for dinner out somewhere. Hoping for a nice, rare steak.

seems like you’ve been at office a lot, did they adjust your remote working schedule?

ice cream makes everything better . Sounds like fun. must saw I’ve never seen beaches with that specific color of golden hued sand, beautiful

sounds like an amazing meal. will say, you must make an out of this world meatloaf for it to be requested for a birthday meal!!!

Here, only one of my family members will Touch Meatloaf. Not just mine, which i think is rather tasty, any version. Same with pineapple upside down cake.

Thanks, i’m all caked out lol. More of a savory indulger lately. the mr & GD are kidnapping me for dinner out somewhere. Hoping for a nice, rare steak.

lol.....that`s funny!! Maybe not wise, but funny.......

Our beach does seem to change colour at times, depending on the time of day, but it usually does look pretty and not a dull sand. Is there such a thing as dull sand.......????

Hope you get your rare steak tonight......sounds good to me!! Have a great evening...





We did manage to grill out tonight, chicken skewers and Lamb shish kebabs and both hot and spicy. Made a fruity spicy Moroccan style couscous which worked nicely together, especially with the lamb.

Sitting opposite each other on both sofas, laptop on our knees listening to music and chatting the night away.......ideal Tuesday!

Need to head back out tomorrow for shoes........not looking forward to that, doubt I`m going to get what I`m looking for.

Feel like some tonic water.......

Well, it's a beautiful taco Tuesday here. The sun is shinning, the wind is at a minimum (for now).

Busier day at work today. Our health and safety gal is in our office this week for her yearly visit to update everyone and things around here. So she is keeping me busy with lots of admin tasks. It's nice to have a little more estrogen and another woman wandering around the office.

Well, it's now almost home time, and I'm finally getting around to stopping in!

We have another hot day (for us) today again......ain`t gonna win no competitions, but it`ll be beautiful and we`ll enjoy this mini heatwave again, might only reach the low 80`s, which I gather some don`t consider hot .....but we`ll take it!!!

No records for us either lol and I'm ok with that! I know you are like me and will take all the nice weather days we get.

T minus 4. Counting down until that wee hour flight.

And this time next week we`ll be in Scotland....home of the most spectacular sunsets, hopefully the weather will work in our favourite especially as my cousin from Long Island will be there too. Managed to add in an extra night which will be nice.

It is definitely beautiful there. Enjoy all your time there.

Getting ready to head out to watch little J this morning.

Have a fun day with J!

Morning all

Happy Birthday!!!!

Well, I should shuffle the last few papers on my desk!

Have a great evening everyone!
