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

[schumigirl]

Thank you ladies so much for the birthday wishes for my wonderful husband.....he loved the memes too!! ❤

Lori, he said he will definitely enjoy being spoiled by us today.......lol.....

Poor soul hasn`t got his presents yet, Kyle will be over around 6pm and he`ll open everything then....until then though he opened gifts from friends.....most seem to be expensive alcohol or wines.....they know him so well!




We did enjoy our walk this morning, 7 miles and although it was dull, it was very humid and warm. No need for jackets just yet.......

Nice lunch and now sipping afternoon prosecco while watching a movie together.....and both on laptops......modern living!

He is getting a new ipad from Kyle and I, he doesn`t know it yet. I have 2 I use, it`s a running joke my ipad chargers are the hardest working things in this house, probably true.....lol.......but he`s been using my oldest 3rd ipad, so this will be a nice surprise for him along with his other gifts.

Doing a charcuterie board tonight, not too fancy and then his birthday dinner is Friday night.

Seems my prosecco is being topped up.......

 

[schumigirl]

For Tom !

Hope he has a full week of events for his celebration!

I need to take tips from Janet.......long family birthday celebrations are her speciality!!

My cousins are having their usual big Labour Day celebration mac......huge pool party with around 50 people coming in the end. I thought they would......I`m glad you liked the pictures of her new pool.....it is impressive, biggest pool I`ve seen in a private home.

 

[Metro West]

Morning all...just passing through while taking a break at work. Hope everyone is doing well and is staying safe wherever you may be.

Hey all, busy last week with GD pre start of school. Trying not to think of how much I’ll miss her being around

And Friday is the biggie! DD will have her white coat ceremony!
I feel quite emotional just thinking about this. It's literally the biggest day of DDs life at this point in her journey! A reception will follow, and we are going out for a late dinner with her roommates and their families.

congrats to all! A big moment. Indeed

Looked after my friend`s little granddaughter for an hour while her dad went for an appointment, my friend was working and couldn`t have her. We love taking her any chance we can, and she is growing up so quickly. So, lunch was a little late.......turkey, bacon, tomato and bacon on an open face sandwich......lovely.

they do really light up the house, don’t they? .

Hair salon tomorrow and some shopping for gifts as September is our busiest month for birthdays, anniversaries and two wedding gifts to buy. I haven`t even got birthday cards bought yet, usually I have them well in advance.

quite the fun chores! good to hear the replacement gal will suffice until your regular returns. I’m back to square one myself As relatively new one is chasing some dude off to Indiana of all places.

Big Lots has their Halloween merchandise up online now.

nothing caught my fancy this year, thus far. Spirit has opened too, need to stop up & at least play with the animatronics

Normally I would have given him a hard time, but did not want to draw attention. Oh well. I couldn’t wait to get home and shower and put my clothes in the laundry. Sorry for the rant.

ew, ew, ew

Thank you Keisha will give it try. Have been watching online and if I understand correctly each person has to order a 2 drink minimum and you are only allowed to be in Oga’s 45 minutes. Some folks said it took about 20 to 30 minutes to get their drinks and they had to chug their drinks and snacks in 15 minutes.

whaaaat? That’s a new one on me but, haven’t been comfortable entering it during covid since so small & packed with people.

I’m shocked at the thought of a 2 drink minimum in a relatively short time period. Not the greatest idea to encourage people to possibly over-indulge with an extra alcoholic drink, let alone if dehydrated in the hot FL sun. One saving grace tho, the drinks do have a very light pour

I need to take tips from Janet.......long family birthday celebrations are her speciality!!

LOL
Happy happy to Tom, slip it into low gear this week and enjoy the BD week ride!

 

[J'aime Paris]

Hey Pumpkin!

Yay, a Pumpkin drive by. Hope you are feeling good, and all is well with you and family. Hope the paper shuffling was not too bad today.

Yay for me. Little one and my September flights have gone down in price. That, with our credit from our much reduced after booking August flights, we should have enough credit to fly in the Spring. Woot! I am so hoping to get to Mardi Gras at Universal one of these days.

Went once during Mardi Gras 2019. It's a lot of fun....glad you'll get to use those flight credits!

Good Tuesday afternoon Sans family

Thank you. Hope the foot and dental work are going well and you are feeling better. Big Lots has their Halloween merchandise up online now.




Yes, this Covid tragedy has touched many families sadly.....far to many.




Thank you Lynne.




I’am able to sit up longer now. The discs are bulging on left side. Will just take time. I’am not a patient.....Patient......LOL..... So glad I have the meds I need to get things healing. Bronchitis cough is improving.


I did make it to the graveside service. It was a nice service. I went with my cousin B who lives near by. We were the only ones wearing masks. It was really hot.

One of my male cousins who was sweating profusely comes up to me and grabs me to hug me and he pulled down my mask and kissed me on the cheek and said now you have cooties and laughed. It happened so quickly I was not able to ward him off. He is a big joker and he did not know I was having issues with my back, but he also compromised me by pulling my mask down. Oh well.

I would never attempt to hug someone if I was sweating like that. It was gross. I was mildly pissed. To say the least.

Normally I would have given him a hard time, but did not want to draw attention. Oh well. I couldn’t wait to get home and shower and put my clothes in the laundry. Sorry for the rant.

I’am glad I was able to go to the service. He was a wonderful Uncle and I was glad to be there for my Aunt.



I’am looking forward to it.



Hope you and Kyle got all your shopping done.




I was thank you.




So glad to hear you and your daughter had a nice weekend with your friends and the weather held off for your outdoor activities.




Yes, that is going to be a big day for you all. This is a big milestone for her. Enjoy yourselves and get lots of pictures.



Thank you Charade.




Mac hope you were able to get all your information sorted. I always make paper copies of the confirmation emails they send. It has always been a habit. I just don’t trust electronics that much.




Sounds yummy. Is that a Sam’s or Costco brand?




Glad to hear your flight plans are working for you.


Schumi glad to hear everything went well at your hair appointment and you had a nice lunch with friends.


J’aime.... you and your daughter enjoy your pampering at your manicure. I do enjoy having my hair done and getting a manicure and pedicure. It’s nice to have a little pampering.


I was able to set up and cut some material for awhile. Back resting now.


I watched 3 Dracula movies the past two days. So glad I kept my portable DVD player. There is a such a contrast to all three of the movies and how Dracula is portrayed.

Dracula with a Frank Langella and Laurence Olivier was good. Langella was a handsome Dracula, his portrayal of Dracula brought a more seductive performance, but you didn’t feel sorry for him as he was a monster. Then the Dracula movie with Gary Oldham and Winona Ryder made you feel sorry for Dracula as did Dracula Untold with Luke Evans.

LOL....love the Dracula movies.

Might have hubby bring down some Halloween decorations I can place a few things around.

Something light and easy for dinner. Chicken Taco salad.


Have a wonderful evening everyone.

Love these rocket gifs

The salsa was from my neighborhood grocery store, Piggly Wiggly. Funny name, huh?

Sorry your cousin was so rude! Poor behavior, covid or not!

You did well to keep your cool there Robbie. Not just rude of the man, but offensive and downright stupid. Funeral or not, that`s not the way to behave and could have done you harm by pulling you like that, never mind the aggressive kiss on the cheek...and pulling your mask down!!!

But, I`m glad you were there to pay your respects. That`s what counts.

We love any old classic movie, and the horrors are always entertaining. Old Universal horrors are timeless in there own way of course......I`ve never seen Dracula Untold, but I know what you mean about feeling sorry for them. I think everyone has sympathy with Frankenstein`s monster.....such a sad tale really.

We did have a lovely lunch thank you, always nice to spend time with friends. But, as always, continued good wishes for the back issues, it`s not fun.





I think the darker nights make me sleep so much better. It`s completely dark now so early at night, which is quite nice somehow, I do love summer, but autumn is my favourite season I think. But, I find something nice in all seasons to be honest. Love we have some cosy winter nights ahead.

Today is dull again, with some thick heavy cloud, but it`s still so mild and very still out there. The sea looks like it`s not moving at all and not a sound apart from some very noisy seagulls this morning. But, it`ll be pleasant to walk in this morning.

Think it`s a charcuterie board for dinner tonight. Lunch, no idea.....might get some crab again this morning down the seafront, we`ll see.

Can`t believe how quiet it is out there this morning......none of the trees seem to be moving either.

Have a wonderful Wednesday ​

It just so happens to be Wine Wednesday here as well!!

Ooh the foggy start. HHN must be practicing. That and the AC has went on. Already 74 out, with a 94 high, and an enough humidity, will feel like it’s 97 out. Tomorrow will be a repeat, but that humidity will be even more oppressive, as should feel like temp will 100 degrees tomorrow. Some hot feeling days. And yeah, with that high humidity, the chances of those lightning, thunder and rain dumping thunderstorms will be spotty, as only then some us will get that spectacular Summer thunderstorm winning chances today and tomorrow. Eh, with that much wet in the air to make it feel so hot, rain may feel welcome.

And a very happy birthday to Tom. Hope he has a great birthday.

Ooh, it’s a Wednesday, and you know what that means:

View attachment 599617

Yay! The camel is here, and excited to say, it’s a hump of day, as mid week, so that awesome Friday feeling will be here two days later. Woot!

And Robo, I was up at my alarm at 4:30, no reason you should have heard it. I hope you did get back to sleep. And hope your back is not as sore today.

Ah yes, back to my early routine and enjoying the cool AC house that also has no humidity in the summertime. Tea sipping in there too. But just some oatmeal today. No big or longer to make, week day breakfasts are the usual. So hot cereal is perfect. Overnight oats, so just have to heat up.

That wonderful Wednesday homies.

The heat wave continues here as well. I'll take it.....since I'll be complaining about the snow and cold all winter long, lol!!

Thank you ladies so much for the birthday wishes for my wonderful husband.....he loved the memes too!! ❤

HI!









Back home from DDs orientation. We only saw DD for a super quick lunch, since the students have a full day schedule of their own.
It will be a very intense 4 years, more schooling if she decides to specialize. But the university is top notch and has an extremely high graduation rate. So, if you made it this far....you'll be alright!

This is a photo of DD and her 2 roommates. All three are dental students, and will have the same school schedule. It will be nice to have built in study buddies!

 

[Charade67]

Finally sitting down after a long and somewhat stressful week. On Sunday I called my mom, got the answering machine, and left a message. No one called back. Repeat the same process on Monday. By Tuesday I was getting really worried. I called again, got the matching again, but this time left a message threatening to call the local police to do a wellness check if nobody called me back. Got a call from my mom about 2 hours later. She says that whenever she tried to call me she got a busy signal. I think she is misdialing my number. Thankfully everyone is okay and I didn't have to send the cops out.

I had a frustrating day trying for to recall some of my preplanned things for the fall trip I have for next month

10/2 5:30 Dinner at Antojitos, 10/3 1:00 lunch at NBC Sports Grill

Night light or actually early-early morning light

Cute light.

Good luck to B!!! Hope she has a great senior year!!

Thanks. She is taking Tap as an elective this semester. She is happy to be dancing again.

I tried a new salsa last night, and I'm obsessed!
It's Frontera brand roasted tomato salsa with cilantro and new mexico chile. Mild, of course!

I'm not familiar with that brand. I'll have to look and see it it's sold around here.

Yay for me. Little one and my September flights have gone down in price.

Yay! I'm already thinking about planning another trip. Need to get my money's worth from my AP.

One of my male cousins who was sweating profusely comes up to me and grabs me to hug me and he pulled down my mask and kissed me on the cheek and said now you have cooties and laughed. It happened so quickly I was not able to ward him off. He is a big joker and he did not know I was having issues with my back, but he also compromised me by pulling my mask down. Oh well.

Eww..Just no. That wouldn't be acceptable even if we weren't in a health crisis.

I think I will take a lazy evening and see if there is anything to watch on TV.


Almost forgot, Happy birthday to Tom.

 

[macraven]

Charade I remember the food line up but it was my list for my solo days for the shows in the park.

 

[Metro West]

Good grief...I missed Tom's birthday. Please tell him Happy Birthday!

 

[soniam]

@schumigirl Happy Birthday to your hubby, Tom!

Getting more and more excited about our HHN visit in early October. Got some cleaning done today. It took me almost 1.5 hours to pick son up from school after getting there early to be near the front of the line, then waiting in the line to leave the road near the school, then waiting to get onto the highway, and then driving in rush hour traffic to get home. His school is in the worst location. I can't wait until covid subsides enough for me to feel comfortable about him taking the bus home. We are still in stage 5 here, the highest stage.

Love it! Thanks Janet......yesterday was a very relaxed pace for him....especially as the day went on!

Oh goodness, yes, you`ll miss her a lot when she`s back at school. I`ll bet she`s excited to go back though, they usually do look forward to a new year in school.

Hey Pumpkin!

Thank you he had a lovely day.

Good grief...I missed Tom's birthday. Please tell him Happy Birthday!

Thanks buddy.......I certainly will when he gets up........lazy morning after a late-ish night with some wine and song!! Ok maybe more wine than song.......

@schumigirl Happy Birthday to your hubby, Tom!

Thanks Soniam......

Goodness, that`s a journey and a half to make every day! Yes, hope he can get the bus soon as that`s quite a chunk out of your day.

We were so fortunate, Kyle could always just walk to schools he went to, but that`s pretty normal here, I know it`s very different in the States.




Tom did have a lovely birthday, he was especially surprised by some of the gifts which was lovely. And we did have one or two glasses of the old vino to celebrate......some friends were popping in, so of course we had to offer them a glass and would have been rude not to join them! My excuse and I`m sticking to it.....

Miserable morning today and very, very breezy so not walking this morning, will do some housework and make something nice for dinner tonight, I have some chicken thighs so may pop them in the slow cooker with some lovely ingredients and make a nice spicy saucy dish.

Will pop out this afternoon for some grocery shopping and maybe just walk into the village for those as we don`t need much at all.

And it`s Thirsty Thursday but we may just avoid that tonight........lemonade all the way!

Have a wonderful Thursday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah, still that heat wave. Feeling like 100 or so degrees even though you could swear it says 91 on the thermometer. Muggy as all, with a very humid air. And with that humid air, we have another foggy start. Eh, as soon as the sun rises that fog will go away. These early morning foggy saying hey, HHN will be here soon. Sigh. 72 out, and AC has been running for just before alarm went off. Hope your weather is nicer out now, Schumi. And nice to hear Tom had a great birthday.

With our hot feeling day, surely is a Thirsty Thursday.

Ack, Charade. I had that. We gave her a cell phone, and most of the time she did not take it with her. Glad you did get ahold of your mom.

Soni, that is a long time to travel to school. We live close enough, my kids never had to take the bus. They walked or got a car ride. Hope virus numbers improve enough, bussing returns before the end of the school year. Yay for vacation ticker at almost a month now.

And so, after this long feeling week after getting back to routine, decided a longer weekend was needed. Yay, today, turned that alarm off after it went off. I need to relax, even if I’m up early anyway the next 3 days.

A totally terrific Thirsty Thursday homies. Stay hydrated in this heat. And have a good morning.

 

[Metro West]

Morning all...rough weather night last night and now most of the systems we use at work are down. Hopefully they will come up soon.

Everyone have a great day!

 

[Lynne G]

Metro, hope the systems are up now. Yeah, all good when connectivity works. My network was randomly spotty yesterday, annoying. And not sure it had anything to do with weather. Our server is overseas.

We keep hearing the larger programs are coming up but nothing yet. Our servers are in town and that could be part of the problem but who knows.

Rough weather and rough day at work then, Metro. Hope you do get all the programs available.

 

[Robo56]

Good Thursday Morning Sans family

nothing caught my fancy this year, thus far. Spirit has opened too, need to stop up & at least play with the animatronics

I know pushing the buttons on all the Halloween animatronics is the fun part. My goal today is to walk through Big Lots.

This is a photo of DD and her 2 roommates. All three are dental students, and will have the same school schedule. It will be nice to have built in study buddies!

Nice photo of your daughter and her roommates. It will help them all being in the same dental program. Always nice to have friends to study with.

Great to hear Tom had a lovely birthday. Nothing wrong with keeping the wine flowing during a Birthday celebration day.

We keep hearing the larger programs are coming up but nothing yet. Our servers are in town and that could be part of the problem but who knows.

Hopefully your systems will be up and running soon.


Charade glad to hear all is well with your mom.


Soniam that’s a long time to wait to pick up your little one.


Lynne sounds like another hot for you today. On a positive note you will be prepared to go back to Orlando again soon.


Kstar hope little Charlie is doing well. Continued good wishes for a speedy recovery for him.

Shout out to Tink. Hope all is well. Your vacation will be here before you know it.


Up having coffee in my HHN mug. The sun is shining. Supposed be 91 today.

Cough is significantly better just need my back to settle down completely. I’am going to do a little walking in a couple of stores today.

Will do Big Lots to look and see if they have their Halloween merchandise in the stores. They have it online. Then Target. They have a Starbucks in Target. Might need to get a pumpkin cream cold brew. Then back home. Will see how it goes.

17 days till Universal





Have been wondering If Universal will do a themed WWOHP Resort now that Disney is doing a Star Wars Spaceship Hotel. Would be a game changer for sure for Universal. Will see.





Have a wonderful Thursday everyone.

 

[Lynne G]

Oh Robo, glad to hear your coughing less, and continued well wishes your back feels better and better. Good luck with the Halloween decor shopping, and yay, for Fall drink getting from Starbucks. Yep, our Fall countdowns are ticking away, and yep, why I don’t mind most of Orlando’s weather. It’s ever so hot and humid here. With those nasty storms always at the ready.

Everyone have a great day!

Hope work gets sorted out shortly!








Talking to a friend last night.....she asked if I was bringing flowers or something for DD to the white coat ceremony tomorrow night?? Wait, is this a thing? I never heard of this? According to her, yes it is. I really had no idea, as we've never been to anything like this before....
I guess I'll pop over to the florist today to order something for tomorrow. I'm glad I found out now. I'd feel terrible if we 'missed the boat' on this and came empty handed.

Today is also hair day! Can't wait to get my racing stripe colored, lol!




Have a wonderful day!! And remember.....

Will do Big Lots to look and see if they have their Halloween merchandise in the stores. They have it online. Then Target. They have a Starbucks in Target. Might need to get a pumpkin cream cold brew. Then back home. Will see how it goes.

Have been wondering If Universal will do a themed WWOHP Resort now that Disney is doing a Star Wars Spaceship Hotel. Would be a game changer for sure for Universal. Will see.

1.5 hours!!!! You must live in a very busy/populated area!

The sad thing is that we really aren't very far from the school, like ~7 miles, but it's across the river and off of a highway. The really long part is getting out back to the highway. They block the rode for the school buses in one direction, and then the high school kids that drive are pulling out of their parking lot in the other direction. Also, his school is right near downtown and near the lake and hike & bike trail, so you have a ton of people down there trying to exercise. Plus, he gets out during rush hour. Since he was remote last year and traffic wasn't as bad, I never realized how bad it was. The 1.5 is round trip at least. Oh well, more time for podcasts, audio books, and Japanese audio tapes.
