Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Morning homies
Hump day - camel day again
Love the smilies


Yesterday it was 77 here
Today rain and 66

Rain until 4 this afternoon

Such a welcome thing for me!

Yay for rain

I'm going to finish putting up the tree today...hopefully no more lights will go out as soon as I get them on the tree like last night when my new 100 led lights went poof an hour after I turned them on. Luckily I was procrastinating on the rest of the ornaments but now I have to get more lights or rearrange the others.

Hope everyone going to the darkside soon have a wonderful time.

Time for more coffee and homemade banana bread

Hope that rain put out some of the fires around y'all in that region!

Christmas is coming TOOO fast!

 

[schumigirl]

Glad you got rain mac.......know you needed it........

Vicki, sucks on the lights.......hope you get what you need.....lights are such an essential prettiness of Christmas...always dread all of ours being broken every year........


It`s supposed to be milder here today, but holy moly......went out walking to check on the trees and it was freezing!!!!Didn't spend long out........

Although not having a warm dinner tonight.......shrimp, parma ham and other continental meat, stuffed jalapenos with spicy olives and some rocket (arugula) salad.......and rosemary bread........just fancied it tonight......although I wish it was something warm now.........

Getting through my trip report.......taking an age, but getting there........

Off to bring bread out of the oven.......

Never did it, as my kids have no interest. But Gina did it, and said there are big warm jackets to wear while you tour. So, I think you will be fine. And from Gina's pictures, the hotel is gorgeous decked out in Christmas decor. She even decorated cookies, so maybe check on that if think kids would enjoy that activity too.

We will be down a couple of days before Christmas until NYE. So, if want to say hi, just let me know. Kids are not ready to go to Universal this time, but we will surely hit up CityWalk for some Toothsome.

Thanks! I'll probably stay far away from City Walk during that time due to the crowds. Im not so sure I want to drive over there with the madness that time of year.

 

[kohlby]

Oh yes! I'd completely forgotten about the move! Whats it like living there? Is it everything you'd expected it to be so far??

So far, so good. I'm still in the adjustment period. I'll feel better once I get more of the relocation stuff done. Our neighborhood seems really nice though. We missed trick-or-treating by a couple weeks. Apparently, they have quite a few houses set up with alcohol for the adults during trick-or-treating too. So, looking forward to that. I'm going to do The neighborhood Bunco in a couple nights so we'll see how that goes. Kids have made a couple friends already in the neighborhood. The homeschool community seems to be rather though lacking unless I want to drive a lot. I'm hoping there are some secret groups I don't know about yet.

That sounds lovely, i'm glad you're settling in and its always nice when the kids make friends quickly. What is a neighborhood Bunco? If its similar to trick or treating with alcohol, it sounds amazing.

Mac - did you do a rain dance to get the rain to come? Did you get the cats to do a rain dance to get the rain to come.

Schumi - it is blooming cold! Its been -4 here most mornings... but I live in the suburbs... its probably even colder in the country side!

 

[schumigirl]

I live right on the coast Rachel, but all around me is all countryside I suppose, not much surrounds where I live now........ I have the sea on one side of us and hills and farms on the other........but we sometimes get it milder being beside the sea.......sometimes not........tonight is another cold one........

Trying to catch up on last 2 weeks of the WD, but boy is it dragging.......struggling to enjoy watching it this season.........

Need to find something new to watch and get hooked on........

Well helloooo

I haven't cooked a meal since thanksgiving. Might just pick up some fried chicken @ grocery store deli tomorrow when shopping. I could get used to this. House full of boxes, all the BF stuff arriving. Didn't do much B&M shopping other than a new set of cookware for myself on BF. Lots of my list is crossed off, early for me woohoo

Laying odds Keisha only bought 2 pointsettias this morning

One, I compromised

Oh my gosh peeps... oh my gosh....

hello by the way. Sorry I've not been around much (and still have one day left to do on trip report (also gotta catch up reading other peeps)) but its been a bit manic. because...

We just booked our honeymoon to Hawaii! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

We're going to be doing a load of hopping but the brief itinerary is fly London > LA > Maui, 5 nights Maui, then fly Maui > Oahu to stay 5 nights in Aulani! (OMG I'M so excited!!) Then Oahu > LA to go to 5 nights near Disneyland (also so excited about that too!) we'll also explore a bit of California too. Then back to London.

I've never been so excited in all my life. We will go back to California in the future but Hawaii. Its like a dream come true.

Also here is a picture of my tree. Should have waited until next week but couldn't help myself

Schumi - let me know what the Ab Fab movie was like, its on my list to watch!

We watched the new Ghostbusters on Saturday. God I wanted that movie to be good and it just wasn't

Wowzer!!! Congrats, I'm dancing for you. Someday will cross it off our bucket list. Do love visiting So Cal.

DS and DW put our tree up yesterday while I worked on her vehicle.

Getting ready to leave Wednesday for Universal. Joining up with pcstang and family.

Hmm didn't you guys just get back mr? Lol. Have tons of fun, let's hope the weather cooperates fully this time. We liked SF. Gave up our suite as it wasn't ready and just wanted a room ready when we checked in early. Make sure to post some pics.

Lynne, your smilies made me laugh , they are adorable

Cyber shopping, someday I should check that out for cat food deals

Our Christmas shopping is easy
Buy cards, insert checks, mail out this week!
Shopping completed

Schumi sounds like you have two fun filled days!
Take pics of the food for me
And have a fab time

Bagolaughs
Such a pretty tree!
Did it take long to put it up?
You will enjoy Hawaii a lot
We went twice in April as it has great weather then
Which month will you be going?
So many great site seeing places to go to and hope you see it all!

Out to do some errands today
Going to hit a new shopping center for son as he needs hiking boots

I'm sure stores will be busy, ugh
Hope to survive it

Hope the rest of the homies have a great week

We couldn't be more different in mode lol. I truly enjoy it, akin to a competitive sport.

Well months have gone by with zero rain for where I live

Rain has started to fall
Whoopie !!

But with that, no tv
We have dish and lost our signal with the rain

It goes out for a bit and then comes back for a short time

Me and my insomnia won't like this later in the early morning hours.....

But I can sacrifice tv for the needed rain

Hopefully it will put out some of the fires we have here in georgia

Can't say I've ever wished for rain, but good luck there. Just think, no needing to shovel the snow off the dish in your neck of woods at least.

Yay for rain

We had issues with the Loews led lights, think there was a bad run. Mine were white. Mr came back with colored one that are pine cones...big, fat pine cones...hundreds of them lol.

Hello Sans family. Sounds like everyone is busy. A little Christmas cheer.

Looks like Christmas in Diagon.

[Lynne G]

It is a dark and foggy night.....



Out doing errands. 60 degrees, but cold air to push this southern rain away tonight, so 45 tomorrow.

Later homies.

 

[macraven]

Read that potterville will be closed dec 1 or 3 for a couple of weeks for maintenance

 

[Bluer101]

We arrived at 8pm at SF. Checked in to the suite and it's very nice. Settled in and meet up with pcstang. The went to dinner and we walked around SF taking pictures and now at Citywalk having dessert. Waiting for pcstang to finish dinner to terrorize here.

 

[macraven]

I bet you all will be having fun tonight!
