Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Can’t believe this day is about over and I’m late checking in here

Since most of you are in bed now, I’ll call it a night too

Sweet dreams homies!
See you all when the sun rises

 

[Sue M]

Monykalyn I was going to say any other but Delta! Then I saw you’re thinking about them lol. They’re fine if nothing goes wrong. But when it does my experience has been crappy customer service. Paris sounds lovely. Are you going to DL while there?

Trying to catch up with everyone. Been a busy social week Here.
Today was swim fit, then out to lunch for a good friends birthday.
Came home and did a little gardening and watering then decided it was a nice afternoon to catch up on reading my book on the patio.

Since you’re all doing countdowns mine are 30 days till DL California and 60 something till Sept Universal sans HHN! Lol.

Lynne my hotel rate at HRH is about $100 higher than when we booked. No AP for regular rooms yet though. My Anaheim Hotel has gone down by $300 since my first booking!
How awful about the family swept away. Flooding is so dangerous.
When is AP night? Yay for blackout lift.

Schumi that’s horrible about the birds. Some people cut out black silhouettes of crows to put on windows to prevent birds flying into them. We haven’t had that happen for a long time. I thought bird was dead but I just left him awhile, apparently just got knocked out. After awhile bird revived.

Charade yay for August get away! It gets harder when they’re in college and then working to coordinate vacay times. I’ve been lucky that I’ve been able to get away twice in 2 yrs with my youngest. We got to do California DL during Starwars (May the 4th). She loved that. And more recently Universal. I don’t know when the next time will be.

RARstar I don’t know how to tell you this: I Live For Summer! But I sympathize with your allergies. Mine have let up. I think they’re worse in spring.

Poohls

Pumpkin sounds like a great weekend planned.

All you ladies having to put up with stinky boys! eek. I only had girls!

Tomorrow having the usual suspects over for dinner. I think on the menu is garlic ginger pork.

Now that the sun has been out I think I need to get cleaning those windows. A job for tomorrow.

Hey it’s only 9pm here! Lol.

It actually may be easier for us. Dh and B will finally have the same vacation days.

 

[schumigirl]

I was hoping you'd chime in! There are a few options for flights-this was about $100 cheaper than the direct (well-the direct on a nonbudget carrier-I am fine flying the budget carriers cross country here-but bit leary of of flying overseas on one!!) I can choose American or Delta or Air France-all within a few dollars of each other and direct (but ~$100 more each than the BA flight with layover). I expect we will decide in next month or so. Leaning towards Delta as I have rewards CC with them...and maybe the miles will get me bonus flights I can use towards Florida trips...hmmm...

Hope the weather holds for the weekend for everyone (sorry Rapstar-I LOVE summer!)
Trying to decide if I should renew dd's UOAP or just buy the 2get 3 free deal. I can always upgrade if we do decide another trip is warranted; I have a feeling DH oldest Katelyn may talk him into coming for Thanksgiving-in which case I will try for a few universal days to see Christmas stuff again! Plus I am wondering if they will offer a deal like the 6 months free again in the fall-would save on next year if DD is able to do a HHN again.

We just didn't have a good experience with BA......lots of friends who used to fly business with them now don't.....not sure whats happened to them. One friend flies Delta when she heads to America for business and family flights......I guess their version of premium.....she`s fussy and has always had good experiences with them. I`ve never flown Delta. But would avoid BA like the plague. Air France are supposed to be very good too. But, it`s been many years since we flew with them.

If you get rewards with Delta, then maybe go with them.....good luck with the choice!!! And have a great weekend...….

Tickets done. Easy. Can’t wait to see what AP extras they are giving out. And can show ticket on our phones. Easier. Countdown still in the double digit 30’s. Ahh. And even happier, hotel and airfare rates much higher now than when I booked, and thankfully rental car is slightly dropping, then up again. Will be doing the rinse and repeat rental ressies and cancellations until we leave. We thought about a limo, but since we want to do other things, the car seems to be the right choice.

And oh the rain yesterday, a tornado not far from me was confirmed, and there was the loss of a pregnant mom and her 8 year old son, as their car was swept downstream from an over flooded road. So sad. On one of our highways, the water was as high as the top of the median. Scary roads. Enjoying a nice drying out today, thank goodness.

And I meant to put a haha, after my saw Facebook page of MonyK ‘s cuddle offer comment above.

What a sad story!!! It`s just awful to hear of such tragedy. Glad your trip is coming together...….

We are a very small office with only 5 people right not, so no cleaning company. Therapist 1’s husband does most of our cleaning. I don’t know why he was ignoring the sink in the employee bathroom. I only cleaned it because the mess was driving me crazy.

Went to see Men in Black at the $2 theater today. It was entertaining, but I’m glad we didn’t pay full price. I liked the subtle Thor reference.

Is that the new MiB?

I love a busy day!!! And yes, the day can get away from you at times....hope you had some fun though!!! And hope the roof hasn't been a big issue for you...….

Now that the sun has been out I think I need to get cleaning those windows. A job for tomorrow.

Yes, I didn't want to ruin the look of the windows by putting things on it.....selfish? Maybe.....but they look so good as they are......I did put stickers on when my friends granddaughter was younger at her height, but she`s precious....birds not so much. One less to poop on my washing when it`s hanging out......lol...….

I was lucky with my boy.....no cleanliness issues from him. He was always a water baby and loved baths and showers from an early age. We`ve been so lucky with him. My friends with daughters were always envious he was so tidy...….and he still is......I seen some of the girls rooms on occasion....wow!!!! .....I guess he gets that from me...I hate mess and untidiness. Have a great weekend...….




Off to friends house for a get together and brunch...….I think this friend does the best brunches out of all of us that take our turn...….she should have been a chef. I don't regularly eat eggs but she makes the best eggs benedict ever....and for such a large group that`s a challenge!! It`s almost like a hotel buffet....…looking forward to it!! Starving now......only had a lemon tea to keep the hunger pangs at bay......yeah that`ll work!!!

Don`t think we`ll be sitting outside in the garden this morning, it`s cool and misty...….

Hope everyone has a great Saturday...…..

 

[PoohIsHome]

Morning, homies!

@schumigirl You just spoke my love language.....eggs benedict. I've never met a benedict I didn't love! LOL! Well, they have to be cooked correctly, but I do love a good eggs benedict.

@Charade67 You cleaning the office bathroom reminds me of one of the water coolers on campus. I'm not even sure how she manages to get lipstick on the dispenser. How does that even happen???

@Lynne G I have trip envy countdown.

Off this morning with Mom and Dad for the graveside service and will probably take them out to lunch afterwards. Home afterwards to finish up some housework before I have to be away tomorrow night for work. Going to be a busy week. Tony has to go back to Newport News for work. My green eyed monster comes out now when he goes back to NN as he gets to see our grandson! Going to do some rearranging downstairs to make the treadmill a little more accessible.

Have a great Saturday, everyone.

Just because he's so blasted cute.......

Morning Sans family







Neighbors cat has been leaving me presents in the front yard again. Dead . Guess it’s better then leaving them right by the front door. I came out a few weeks ago and she had left one by the front door. She sat there meowing at me like “look what I have for you” and then walked away.

We have a large open field in back of our house. So it’s animal kingdom. Deer, squirrels, skunks, possums, foxes, rabbits, snakes, frogs, turtles etc.

We have a doe that has been coming up out of the field with her two new baby’s. I have been leaving them corn and fresh water every few days.

The deer and squirrels have eaten all the peaches off my peach tree. The Apple tree will be next. I have lots of little green apples on the tree.

Monyk good wishes to you on your trip planning for France.have a great time at your family reunion this weekend.

Oh and anyone following on Facebook saw my ad for a cuddle chicken for rent - Ms Charlotte loves to cuddle and snuggle and snore on you! Hey if people can charge $300/hr to lay down with cows my $20/hr per chicken is cheeeeeep (couldn't resist)

Whattttttttttttttt....

Schumi eat some eggs Benedict for me......it’s one of my fav breakfasts....have a lovely brunch and visit.

Lynne hope your having a a nice cup of tea this morning.

Rapstar hope you get some relief from the allergies.

Poohls what a cutie.

Have a great Saturday everyone.

 

[schumigirl]

Pooh.....beautiful little boy! Have a lovely day with mum and dad........I did have a little of Tom’s Egg Benedict.......too much egg doesn’t agree with me, but yes, it was lovely........

Robo.......I think you have a friend for life with the cat next door! Love deer.....they are so gentle........we have a few in the woods behind us, we don’t see many though.......brunch was lovely.......I coveted Tom’s eggs benedict from a distance, then gave in and tasted some......beautiful......have a great weekend Robo.......



Yes, Brunch was lovely......that woman knows how to throw a get together......we had bubbly and smoked salmon by the boatload......and bacon.....lots of bacon!! And a million other choices......Won’t eat the rest of the day now.......well, maybe a snack later....... We did get handed “food parcels” as we left and there’s some cornbread in there!! ......my usual breakfast will be quite dull tomorrow.

But, a lovely get together with some good friends......stopped off in her village to return the clothes that arrived yesterday.......half were too big..the other half too small. Typical. Will reorder some more with the appropriate sizing.......hopefully.


Can’t believe it was 34 years ago today I was enjoying Live Aid in Wembley Stadium with a group of 5 friends and two older cousins as chaperones......it was London after all as all our mothers said at the time....lol...............funny thing was there was 14 of us at brunch today and 5 of us had been there.....but we didn’t know each other obviously.......

It was one of the most exciting days for us as we had never been to such a concert with amazing stars..........

Queen were the absolute stand out highlight out of everyone on stage that day .......never seen a performance like it......and Freddie was unbelievably sexy on stage!

He really was .......it was an amazing performance. We had a perfect view too......thanks to one friends family connection with the stadium. But jeez......34 years!!! Where does the time go..........

Weather is lovely here, with a little sea breeze.....so we’re outside, but it’s not boiling hot........quiet night ahead......glass of wine and a movie maybe.......

Sun just blazing though.....time for shades........

Hope everyone’s having a lovely Saturday......

 

[Charade67]

Lazy Saturday morning. We have absolutely no plans for the day. Dh just got paid, so I should probably pay some bills.

Got an email from my boss asking me to fill out the necessary paperwork to have therapists 2 and 3 removed from our billing software. Hmm...I wonder if therapist 2 is aware of this. I thought therapist 2 was staying through September. I think the boss and I need to have a talk. I don’t like to feel like I’m caught in the middle of a divorce. She doesn’t want me helping therapist 2 with the transition of leaving. I feel a certain obligation to therapist 2 because if it weren’t for her I wouldn’t even have this job.

Is that the new MiB?

Yes, the new one with Chris Hemsworth.

You cleaning the office bathroom reminds me of one of the water coolers on campus. I'm not even sure how she manages to get lipstick on the dispenser. How does that even happen???

I can only think of one way, and....EW!!

Aww...the kitty loves you. I wouldn’t be too thrilled about the dead mice though. Thankfully I have an indoor cat. I would love it if our deer brought babies to see us. We occasionally see does in our backyard, but they never come close to the house.

Can’t believe it was 34 years ago today I was enjoying Live Aid in Wembley Stadium

34 years ago I had just graduated high school. I’m feeling really old right now.

Almost noon now. I suppose I should get up and at least attempt to do something productive.

 

[Sue M]

It actually may be easier for us. Dh and B will finally have the same vacation days.

It was easiest for me when both daughters were in high school, and I worked in a high school too, so we were all on the same schedule!

I love eggs benny too! The last time I had it was at RPH our leaving day. Daughter treated me to brunch downstairs. We sat in the lovely out side area in a pretty area surrounded by the lush shrubbery and palm trees.
The Live Aid concert sounds amazing. It ages me but I was at Woodstock! Lol.

I hear you on birds pooping on laundry. Happened to me a few weeks ago

Oh boy! Sounds like you’re being put in a difficult position. Hope it all works out.

Robo eek! I had a cat that used to bring me presents, into the house Love watching the deer with their fawn. My friend has a house on acreage a few hours east of here. When we visited last summer there was a momma who liked to hang out on his property. I was sitting outside and she was napping in the shade not 30 ft from me. Twice we saw her with her fawns.
He has a huge vegetable garden and has it totally fenced with 8ft chain link fencing or there would be nothing left. It was so nice going out before dinner to pick fresh veggies to have for dinner.

But those deer are not gentle during rutting season I tell you. There’s a town that had a big problem with them. The deer would walk thru town and would charge at people or dogs and kick too.
My daughter was driving on the highway out of town and silly male came out of the tree line and charged her car. She got a big dent on the side of her car. Crazy!

Well I better get up and going. Need to tidy up the house, whip vacuum around and go to the store. Get Rx filled, and look for dessert for tonight.

I like Chris Hemsworth, but the rest of the cast........meh.

Yes, I was 18 when Live Aid was happening........fabulous time!

We were talking today how no one had a phone to film it......we just enjoyed it.......but, yes, it was a long time ago.

I was just reading the other day there is a 50th anniversary celebration for Woodstock this August......one of my American friends mothers want to go to it.......my friend is mortified.......lol.......bet she’d have a ball! I don’t know much about it to be honest, heard of it of course........

Live Aid was just tremendous. It’s one of these things that’ll never be mimicked in any way. Genuine party atmosphere with not an ounce of bad feeling anywhere.......


We have rain. Wasn’t forecast, but all the same, it’s heavy......although easing now......


Plan to watch Bohemian Rhapsody tonight........not a bad movie......

 

[Lynne G]

Theme park and water park fun. Will never get me in the swings again. Eek. Heights, speed and circling, sigh.

Then since still wet and getting way too crowded, some pool time with my Dsis.

Now trying to find some food for a late lunch.

Absolutely awesome,sunny Saturday.

Hope all are enjoying this weekend.

 

[Lynne G]

See, such a nice day.

 

[Charade67]

So you don’t recommend the new movie then?

It was definitely worth a viewing. It was quite entertaining. I just don’t think I would have wanted to spend full price on it. I actually would have been happy with waiting until it came out on DVD then renting it and watching it at home. Dh is weird about wanting to watch movies for the first time in theaters though.

Theme park and water park fun. Will never get me in the swings again. Eek. Heights, speed and circling, sigh.

I don’t do swings either. B loves them, but then again, we’ve already established how crazy she is.

We ended up going to see Toy Story 4 today. Really cute movie. I liked it much better than Toy Story 3. Stay for a really cute bit at the very end of the credits.

We also wandered into the Hallmark store to see the new Christmas Ornaments. They have a Disney castle that comes with 5 princesses. If you put one of the princesses on the center platform her song plays. I want one, but have no place to put it.

I can’t do swings at all. I tried the Symphony Swings in DCA, ugh. Had to sit down till the world stopped spinning.

See, such a nice day.

Looks so inviting! I’d love to have a pool in my backyard. I’d get one of those floating lounge chairs with the drink holders!

It’s clearing up here. This morning was overcast and cool. But late afternoons seem to clear and get warm. I already set the dining room table but guess we could’ve had dinner outside. Dinner company should be here any moment. But first a cloud pic!

[macraven]

Finally able to get on the Dis now

I started getting the “you have won at Walmart “ and it took me to their unsecured site

I have not been able to read or post on the dis most of the day until close to 8 tonight

Yes, have ad blockers and use the iPhone

I’m sure others have gone through this also

 

[PoohIsHome]

The antidote for a stressful couple of weeks......HP marathon with Corey, Tony, Smoky Mtn Moonshine mixed drinks and more than a few laughs.

Good Night, all.

 

[Lynne G]

Robo, I had a cat that would do that and leave presents on our front porch. Ewww. I also had a dog that lined up moles and voles along the edge of my back porch. Never knew our yard had so many.

Tired, so will leave the on for all you night owl homies, or those in an earlier time zone.
