Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Tink, rainbow ankles are usually a sprain. Good for you for getting up on it. That may be best. Good luck. (I've sprained my ankle so much I lost count.)

Mac, I am too cheap to hire a professional for trimming things but I will definitely hire tree removal people. DH does a half way decent job on shrubbery.

does he hire out...........

 

[macraven]

good night and sweet dreams charade.

now if you don't fall asleep, i'll leave the light on for you to come back tonight.

 

[schumigirl]

It is not nearly as hot with heat index less the past few days. Was downright pleasant on boat saturday evening. Have some cloud/sun today so not as brutal.
Cuddle chicken has been in and out all morning. She did come in for nap on son too (i swear she was a cat in a previous life the way she snuggles with him) but she's been sneaking in if door doesn't shut fast enough.
Errands done, now researching zucchini recipes...have to get some calcium worked into soil by tomatoes too-have bottom rot which is usually a calcium transport problem. Planted them in a different bed this year.
Laundry started...only 3 days of work this week and 1 next week.

DD went to cast connections today, thinking we are gonna end up shipping things home so we can fit into car. Really need to restrain myself from buying more LOL.

Being out on a boat on a lake sounds so idyllic........you are so lucky to be able to do that!! Even though I hate water, I love to be close to it, whether it be lakes or sea......or Lochs in Scotland.......lol.......

Happy Monday everyone. DH finished his final walk through of his job and has a few hours of work tomorrow. Then, it's up to the lake house for us until next week sometime. It will be Wednesday at the latest though. Our Air Conditioner at the Townhouse died over the weekend while we were gone so the soonest we could get it looked at Wednesday July 11th. It's 86 and sunny for the next week. Good thing we got this layoff when we did.

Dark Shadows was very creepy but I watched it faithfully. I also like the old Universal horror movies and still watch them on Svengoolie on METV. The show is out of Chicago and airs on Saturday nights.

Keisha, have a great trip!

Charade, good luck finding something to wear. I do not like shopping. I buy most things online and send back what doesn't work. Of course, that's mostly because I can't walk farther than 90 feet.

Patty, heal fast...that sounds painful. You too Tink (but not too fast, you want to take advantage of laying around with beverage delivery service).

Stay cool everyone!

Another lake person!!! How lovely.......I’m sure you’re ready for a nice break away........yep the old Universal horror movies are unbeatable.........full of nostalgia really as I remember being terrified as a kid watching them......before all the parental warnings of course........lol.......yes, I’m that old!!!

Mr Mac decided this morning he would trim some of our flowering bushes and small trees


Next time I will hire a professional

Right now we are in separate rooms on our devices

That’s why we “get the guy” for gardening.........we are rubbish at gardening so it’s worth it to pay someone......and he’s fabulous!!! We now have an area for growing veg........haven’t a clue!!! Although I can be seen wandering around smelling the odd rose and looking like I know what I’m looking at.........lol........

It rained here long enough to water the flowers so I didn't have to.

My ankle held up okay at work. It's still swollen and has now turned all kinds of pretty colors. I'm under orders from Danielle to stay on the couch and text her if I need anything.

Patty, hope your leg is healing well.

Woohoo for keisha at the Boardwalk...but I'm not so keen on the creepy clown pool.

Rut roh mac...did mr mac prune too much?

Have a wonderful night everyone...I'll be on the couch watching the Braves game

Ouch Vicki.......will hurt for a while Im sure.......yep, keep it well rested.........

I’m not really sure if I should say good evening or good morning. I should be sleeping now but made the mistake of napping this afternoon. I was really busy at work for a change. I am really concerned about one of our clients. She is severely depressed and possibly suicidal. She was supposed to have an appointment this afternoon, but ended up in the hospital instead. Sometimes it’s not easy working in a counseling office. I don’t Know how the therapists do it every day.

I totally get it. I am in the process of switching all of my hangers to the flocked style.

We got our proofs via snail mail. Now I just need to figure out what to order. Each one of us chose a different pose as our favorite.

Oh no. Glad you have someplace else to stay while the a/c is out.

I procrastinated too long and now I am going to have to go to the mall. I think I would enjoy shopping more if I had a different body to shop for,

Yes, please hire a professional for tree removal. My brother-in-law tried to help a neighbor cut down a tree and it did not end well.


Continued well wishes for our injured members. I’m going to try to get some sleep now.

Yep, shopping can be a challenge when you’re not skinny at times........I get that!!! Good luck with it though......I’m sure you’ll find something you like........

good night and sweet dreams charade.

now if you don't fall asleep, i'll leave the light on for you to come back tonight.

I’m here........glad you left the light on.......although it’s been light here since 3.15am.

Couldn’t sleep.



Looks dull today........not to be as nice as yesterday, but will be back to baking hot by Thursday.........DS offices have said they don’t need to wear suits rest of this week and into next as it’s so hot.........so, casual is the dress code as long as there’s no shorts which is fine........you still have to have a standard in business........

Offices are air conditioned of course, but it’ll be comfier for them all.

Not sure of our plans today at all.........haven’t even thought of breakfast yet.........too early.

Tuesday today Mac...........

 

[macraven]

Good thing I left the light on for you Schumi.........

Now you can turn it off when I go to bed...

 

[Lynne G]

Oh you night owls and over the pond, almost noon already.

Why yes it is Tuesday. - eat a taco or

. And for those on the lake ---

, you can eat tacos too.

Oh so toasty today. Overnight, no lower than 80. But, cooler today, 96 the high, with feel like 100 degrees. Humidity is to be less, but when I stepped out, stuffy.

Ah Tink, bruised skin has such lovely purples and green and yellow. I hope you get some rest, and stay off your feet. Sprains ankles. Not good. Sending lots of mummy dust, you feel better soon.

Charade, good luck shopping. I hate when I have to find something. I do much better when I am not in the need for speed mode. Even when older one graduated 3 years ago, we got the proofs via email, and had to order online. Glad B has some good shots. Seems like the summer is just flying by. I went to my friend's wedding on the 4th of July, many moons ago. The church did not have AC. The paper fans they passed out did not stop several from falling ill. The week-end here will be a lovely days in the 80's, so I hope your wedding is either in AC or if outside, have the cooler weather.

With that, sending good wishes to all the homies, stay hydrated, eat a taco, and have a good Tuesday. And don't hire Mr. Mac to do your yard work.

- decided to make it a short week, so week-end starts for me tomorrow.

 

[keishashadow]

Lol Mac yes, of course the scary clown is. A must -do

On way to Typhoon Lagoon today for break from the heat. Yesterday so hot felt sick but no heat exhaustion this time. Not really eating but downing tons of liquids. Maybe i’ll Lose weight this trip! Naw

Sea World so much fun yesterday but so crowded, usually dead.

Later the DVC Independence Day party @ the Contemporary. Carny games/prizes, desserts, FW whee

Have a good one all

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! A live Keisha report. Sounds like fun. Stay cool, stay in the pool, and win some games, eat dessert, drink and party on!

 

[macraven]

Chalupa day!!

I’m hitting the Bell later

Fireworks started Sunday in my area
Most likely more tonight

Can’t imagine his much more will happen in the 4th

It is a big thing down here

Hope all the homies have ac if it is hot where you are

 

[schumigirl]

Nice to see you post Janet.......glad you’re having fun!!



Hotter than expected here today........it was supposed to be cooler and cloudy..........hot and blue skies all around.........

We spent a lovely afternoon round at friends house today.........thankfully they have shade in their garden too, so sitting out was a pleasure..........

Although the husband and I nearly came to blows........lol.......not really. But he tried to claim he invented a cocktail that I take credit for.........we all looked at each other when he said he’d invented it..........everyone remembered having it at our home one evening......... and everyone agreed after tasting his today.......mine was better!

Sun is still shining so out in garden again.........having a cuppa though........no need for dinner as we snacked all day at friends home.........

Lazy night ahead.........

Hope your Tuesday is a good one...........

 

[Tgrgrl]

Schumigirl, I must confess, I have been a lurker on this forum for months since “Santa” brought us Annual Passes last year. We had our first 5-day UO stay at PBH last week and I was sorely disappointed that you & your hubby weren’t visiting at the same time! We are local so can we please coordinate the next visit???

 

[kohlby]

I came close to tacos for Taco Tuesday. I had nachos. Child 2 and 3 had burritos. Not sure if I'm going to venture outside to see the MK fireworks tonight. A neighbor is having a 4th of July party tomorrow but I don't want to leave the kids too long so thinking of just hitting her house around MK fireworks viewing time. A house blocks my views but not hers. Dreading the community 4th of July party tomorrow - Child 2 will want to stay the entire time. Child 3 will not want to go at all. And it will be hot. And there will be sunscreen involved which they both hate. And the pool is more like kid stew during that party and I'll have to go in it due to child 3. Child 3 has sensory issues so 4th of July fireworks can be a rough time too. No matter what I do, there will have to be a drink involved tomorrow night.

Keisha - Enjoy! SW has been mobbed recently. I was hoping it was the result of their two June promotions but I guess not since it was still crowded for you.


Ah - the lake. I used to like the lake.

Patty and Tink - Get better!

Be sure to come back and play with the homies here

We love to add to our group

Once you post here, you are a part of the SAN family

 

[keishashadow]

Still hot, crowded & no appetite. not thrilled paying for character buffets when I’m barely picking oh well

Did Typhoon lagoon at rope drop, seats in shade were spoken for quickly. By 10:30 none in evidence, earliest I’ve seen that happen.

Independence Day DVC FW was again s big hit. Balloon creations over the top.



Had to lol woman seated next to us told me they picked tomorrow to head offsite toUni tomorrow. Thot it would be slow and easy to complete both parks in 1 day tried to talk her out of it but she insisted it was a recommended Park tomorrow!

It sure seems they scaled back the special 4th of July MK fireworks
Wasn’t moved to snap any shots Hope Epcot’s live up to Past experience.

Tomorrow pool then Epcot. Have a great holiday all

 

[macraven]

Your little balloon lady is so cute


It’s hot all over!
Bet the pool/water park was nice today

 

[Charade67]

Hi everyone. I shouldn’t be up this late again, but here I am. Oh well, at least I dont have to be anywhere tomorrow. We have absolutely no plans. This day last year I was making my reservations for my Universal trip. I wish I could go back again this year.

Today I got B’s dance schedule for the upcoming year. The good news is she’s been moved up a level. he bad news is 2 of her classes are going to be from 8:45-9:45. Thankfully she will be taking a light academic load in school this year.

I’m finally starting to get sleepy. Will check in later.

 

[macraven]

I’ll leave the light on for you charade

 

[macraven]

Before I turn the lights out here, want to say I hope our Miss Wednesday pops in on the thread today

Nice to have you along on the thread...…..

Sounds like quite a challenging day ahead for you...…….the adult beverage is a good idea!!!! I`ll join you...…..

Yes, hope Miss Wednesday is doing ok...……



Yes, Wednesday and of course Independence Day for you guys...…….I usually do something in honour of it.....but today I haven't!!!

Would chicken wings and beer suffice as kind of American...……. That`ll be dinner tonight...…..can`t be bothered cooking...…..have marinated a load of wings, drumsticks and thighs.....salad and pastas and that`ll be it...……

Turkey and cranberry wraps for lunch too...…………

Have a great day guys...……

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, chicken and beer is a great holiday dinner, Schumi. Significant amount of beer dollars spent around this holiday reported, that and large totals for hotdogs and chips.

Another nice and hot and humid 90’s today. So family party time. Pool and grilling burgers, hotdogs and bbq chicken. Salads and ice cream treats round it out. No cooking for me. Holiday indeed.

Keisha, cutie with the balloons. Summer crowds, yeah as if no one thought that. Have a great time in Epcot today.

Charade, hope you had a good night sleep. Little one is taking several AP classes. She wants to max out, so that college will give her credits for those.



So, enjoy this Wednesday.

Oh, and since it is Wednesday,


Camel lady is here. Yep, it is still a hump day, meaning middle of the work week, and two more days until the weekend. That deserves a wahoo, so all stay cool, hydrated, and have a happy 4th of July.

Mummy dust sent to all that could use some, including Tink, Robo, Agavegirl and Mac.
