Breakfast was

Darth Vader speaking to me lol. I’m buzzing on sugar & java.

Later tonight, the party is scheduled at trampoline park. Wonder how high I can bounce? Actual date on our DL trip, but it was only date open to book months ago, crazy.

Happy trails. Leave a light on for us Tried to snag tix to an America’s Got Talent taping today, never have much luck with those types of systems. Continually got shut out of the chew tapings at Epcot lol

Did u book any SWGE stuff, olga’s Cantina? Have been trying for both DL & two WDW trips...nada. Gave up for a bit, sick to death of watching the scrolling spaceship on wait pages.

What a cutie. Love the Darth Vader cake! I hope you don’t bounce too high on the trampoline yikes! My daughter smacked her front tooth on trampoline.

At DL we have 2 ADRs for Olga’s! One on Wednesday early, and another on Friday I think! And I just booked this week for next week. There were plenty of times

Good afternoon. Up early today to get a mammogram. What a wonderful way to start the day. I don’t know what I was thinking scheduling it so early. Spent the rest of the morning running errands.

I admire people who can sew. It’s not a talent of mine. I was barely able to sew patches on B’s Girl Scout vest.

Never a fun time getting squished. I wish there was a better test. I have to go once a year. Last one was the most painful. I love it when they say- don’t breathe, as if you could!
Hope you don’t have Kidney stones. I haven’t had them but a friend is prone to them.
Nope, I can’t sew either, and getting those patches on was a challenge lol!

Happy Friday afternoon Sans family


Yeah!!!!!!!! Your trip is here. Hope you have safe travels on your trip.

I love a good foo foo day.
I made some tuna fish salad for lunch this afternoon. I had a hankering for some.

Stopped by farmers market earlier this morning and picked up some veggies to go with salmon this evening.

Not much planned this weekend.

Hope everyone has a great Friday.

Thanks! I packed today! Tomorrow will do some odds & sods. Packed that lovely body lotion from RPH room that found its way into my suitcase, lol. Love that stuff.
I had (Pacific) salmon last night. Delicious. I cooked it on the bbq in foil pouch. Daughter & I shared. Husband wanted something else. He’s a bit of a snob when it comes to seafood. If it’s from the grocery store he won’t eat it.
I love tuna salad!
Yes, foo foo days are great. We always have a pre trip foo foo day!

Sue...... curry was delicious! Hot and spicy but sweet too......hope you get your Nexus sorted out. When we applied for Global Entry it took less than 2 weeks from start to finish, now they’ve said it can be 12 weeks! Long time to wait......
Charade......mammograms are a necessary evil....hope it wasn’t too bad as it can be sometimes. Yes, books all the way for me........we all despise smoking and being around or anywhere near smokers.....even from a distance the smell gets everywhere.....so, yes, even though smoking is banned in all eating establishments and pubs, some still allow smoking outside,...so we don’t go outside, which is why this place is popular.....no smoking at all.......


So......huge thunderstorm tonight.......right over the top of us for around an hour or so. Quite impressive........Kyle and I usually go up to the top floor and watch it out of the windows from there....but he’s out tonight and missed it.......so I stayed downstairs where Tom and I were watching Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone.......with a lovely bottle of red wine. From our bought wine, not the home brew!

Very humid still.......plan to watch the second Potter film........Kyle not due home till after midnight so we may stay up, or we may not........

Bacon for breakfast tomorrow though......maybe pancakes........

Yum! What kind of curry, I’m partial to green!

I wish Nexus was only 2 weeks! I don’t think I’ll even have it for Sept trip. I had no idea US has a partial govt shutdown. Oh well, not much I can do about it.

I hate being around smoking too. And so glad it’s not allowed in restaurants, not even on patios. Although it was right after law was passed. Not any more. And you can’t smoke within 20 ft of an entrance. But many don’t pay attention and smoke right next to the no smoking sign at the mall entrance. I hold my breath passing them.

Love a good T Storm! I only get to see them in Florida, we don’t get those kind of storms where I live. But the interior does. Last year many forest fires were lightening caused.
We had bacon today for breakfast. Maybe tomorrow too!

I ended up sewing the last patches on B’s Girl Scout vest then talking a nap.
I just now tossed a couple of new tops in the laundry. Might do more later tonight.

Yep, and I started getting them sooner than usual because my mother is a breast cancer survivor. Today they were having trouble with one of their machines, so I had to go to another and repeat some of the scans. Thankfully I only have to do this once a year.


Tonight my side is really hurting. I am praying that it is not another kidney stone. I took some pain medication. Might fall asleep again soon.

Feel better!

TGIF!! Wow this week (and I worked only 4 days) lasted about 2 months LOL! Stopped for some groceries on way home-different walmart than one I usually go to as THAT one made national news for a fully armed idiot making a 2A "statement" - I say anymore about that and I will be banned.
Instant pot pot roast with potato and carrots-so good and not much left. Got a few other ingredients for other meals in the instant pot. After the power blink and wasted meal in crock-pot kinda leary about using that when no one home.
Tomorrow is Springfield Cards game, with the STL cards catcher rehabing here (Yadi! Yadi! Yadi!) And my oldest comes home from her summer internship tomorrow. She found out she got a grant to go to a conference in September in Phoenix (she has her name on a paper being presented there) so she is pretty excited. And found out she gets one more paycheck from this summer internship.

Me too! It is an asthma trigger as well so I really have to avoid it.

Congrats to your daughter! Mine has her name on a research paper, always so exciting. She has a part time job thru student services for Research Assistant. Yesterday she was up in another town 4 hr drive from here conducting interviews for current project.

Love a pot roast in the Instant Pot. They come out so good, and faster.

Glad to hear your son is getting better.
Smoke triggers my sinusitis, yuck. Can’t breathe.

DL countdown, 1 more sleep!

 

[Charade67]

Good morning. It’s 3:30 here and I woke up about 30 minutes ago. Thank you for the well wishes. I’m feeling much better right now. I don’t know if I had a stone that passed, or just a random pain.
I’m going to try to get back to sleep. I promised B we could go shopping later today and this evening I have a good bye dinner to go to for the therapist who retired and is moving away.

Thanks all for Anniversary wishes! And the boy well wishes-almost back to normal-at least judging by his appetite tonight.
Love it! Happy Bday!
Me too! It is an asthma trigger as well so I really have to avoid it.
Good plan! Recipe tonight called for some red wine so had to crack open a bottle...

OH I hope it is not a Kidney stone! Feel better!

Have to go school shopping tomorrow-bribing my middle to go with by promising food and coffee...

You have a nice weekend ahead......daughter coming home and your boy feeling better...….and yes, if you have to open a bottle for food.....you just have to drink it!!!!

Enjoy the weekend celebrate each other !

Charade ouch indeed

BD party akin to my first rave lol
View attachment 424353View attachment 424354

#2 DS came thru with my annual bouquet
View attachment 424355

Beautiful flowers and balloons...….hope party went well.....looks a fun place!!!!

Oh my kids can be bribed that way too, MonyK. I have to go grocery shopping. Not my idea of fun. Will probably do tomorrow.

Charade, hope it is not a kidney stone and you feel better soon. Yep, drugs and sleeping hopefully will help with the pain.

So glad I can sleep in late tomorrow. Probably not. My head gets me up early in the weekend days. Difference is, I tend to move much slower in getting up.

Lots of good dreams and sound sleeps tonight, may all the homies have.

Neat pictures and yay, for such pretty flowers, Keisha. Balloons I see as well. Party indeed.

I hate grocery shopping......I don't mind going to farm stores and places like that, but supermarkets I detest.....but, they have stuff we need

Keisha, that is a very nice soft blonde color you have.
Glad you are having a totally "it's my birthday" type of day!

Lynne, Saturday grocery shopping ..... someday you will be able to avoid that when you retire
But you have a lot more years to go before that will happen.

monyk, Yadi is one of my favorites!

Schumi, I can smell the bacon now.....

Bacon is delicious...…..some pancakes were slightly overcooked as I was texting while I was making them.....oops!!!

I had (Pacific) salmon last night. Delicious. I cooked it on the bbq in foil pouch. Daughter & I shared. Husband wanted something else. He’s a bit of a snob when it comes to seafood. If it’s from the grocery store he won’t eat it.

We had bacon today for breakfast. Maybe tomorrow too!

I`m with your husband on that one.....very fussy with meat and seafood....annoys the heck out of folks....but doesn't bother me what folks think....

It was a tikka madras curry. Very hot. I love Thai Red Curry, but Tom doesn't like lemongrass or galangal/ginger......so I make that when it`s just for me.....but we both love Indian curries. Simple and easy.

Yes, it`s not always 2 weeks for GE, we were lucky.....and with the updated systems now, folks are being told to check their application hasn't been "filed". We were lucky.

Yes, folks here stand outside of buildings despite signs saying not to. I hate walking past some pubs or buildings...the smell is rank. Bad enough walking along the street behind folks smoking....even far ahead of you, you can still smell it. Yet smokers argue you can`t smell it if it`s outside.....yes, you can......disgusting smell.

Seeing a storm here when we do get them is quite impressive.....especially over the sea.....

Glad the pain disappeared Charade.....I`ve never had a kidney stone, but had Gallstones on many occasions before I finally had it removed. Worst pain ever...….I`d give birth a hundred times over rather than go through that again!



Saturday.....and a very lazy day ahead.

Heard Kyle come in just after midnight......got straight back to sleep....but the wind got up and woke us up a couple of times during the night. think we`re all a bit tired today.

Did some ironing this morning, and got a load of whites in the wash.....made an apple pie for tonight, will whip up some custard later....I like it made fresh.

Baked chicken mac n cheese for all of us tonight...…..will make the sauce later too.

Have a good one...….

Hi there! I’m up at 3:30 too! But your 3:30 is different than mine with the time change! Hope we both get back to sleep! Glad to hear the pain has passed.

You’re giving me some ideas, maybe we’ll have pancakes, have some fresh blueberries from friends farm, and blackberries from our backyard. Plus bacon of course!

Oh I can’t stand walking behind anyone who is smoking. And yes you can smell it, ugh. I’ve been at hotels sitting on my balcony and can tell when someone is smoking on a balcony nearby. Not supposed to. So I have no problem phoning the front desk about it.

One of the things we enjoy in Florida is sitting on the sea wall or walking out on the pier watching the lightening out at sea.

Mac and cheese sounds good. Yum! We’re having burgers tonight. On the bbq. And hopefully some corn on the cob if we can find some good ones.
You put custard on the pie? Never thought of that. Usually I serve it with whipped cream or icecream. But don’t think I’ll have time to make any dessert, so I’ll pick up something from bake shop.
Unfortunately we won’t be eating outside, rain forecasted to start in the afternoon. Darn.

What I should have said is my husband won’t eat fish unless he caught it, and his fishing trips have come up with zero for quite awhile! I’d starve to death if I had to wait for him to catch something


Well like Charade I’m going to try getting back to sleep! Have to check into flights this morning too. Woohoo.

 

[schumigirl]

Apple pie and custard, both hot is a British classic......sure, you can have cream or ice cream but a real winter warming dish is with custard. Standard menu item in restaurants and pubs that serve food.

We have some early apples this year, so making the most of them while we can......the farmer next to us takes most of the fruit to make produce with,...we do get some chutney`s and desserts though as a thank you, going to be bumper crop of Victoria Plums this year.....pears and apples will be average I guess.........enjoy those burgers, Tom`s just grilled the chicken for the chicken mac n cheese for later...…I like it a little charred for added flavour…..lush!!


Rain hasn't appeared yet, but it`s coming apparently.

 

[PoohIsHome]

Hi, homies.

Just wanted to check in and let you know I'm still here. I went to the new doctor on Monday and got news that I wasn't expecting. I knew that I was an autoimmune mess, but she expects that there is more going on than just Hashimotos. They took 12 vials of blood (that was fun) and we should have results on Monday. I've been put on a strict gluten and dairy free diet and while things could be much much worse, it's been a lot to deal with in a short amount of time.....still trying to process it. Tony and Corey have been champs about it...I couldn't ask for a more supportive family.

104 days.....because now I'm desperate for it.

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh, hugs to Pooh. Glad to hear you are still here, and hope they find a great way forward with your care, given so much blood taken. Ick for so many vials taken. I hope you are feeling better, soon.

Schumi was in baking mode. Yum, bacon mac and cheese, and pie. I’d take any leftovers. Lush food.

Charade, glad to hear pain free, and hope you got back to sleep, with a later get up time. Enjoy shopping with B today.

Sue, hope you got back to sleep, and are sound asleep. I am not fond of smoke or fish smells. Have to say, food from the water is not food I would eat. I did catch fish my mom would eat. I would not be in the kitchen when she cooked it.

Up at 4:30, but then took a long bath, and been watching TV. DH left around 8, and older one is at my Dsis’s house, as he slept over her house last night, as she needed his help. And little one, so not an early bird, I think is awake, but not in getting up mode.

Mom, the car needs a car wash. Why yes it does. Seems the road, in one part of where I drive home from work, was a nice, wet covered latte coffee colored one. Hence, tires still have some of that color on them, and of course the underside is now that lovely color too. So, car wash, shopping, and pool time, with some park time too. That AP to that park is getting our use out of it.

Have a super sized happy Saturday.

Off to see if little one wants to get going, and I need to make more tea.

 

[Robo56]

Good morning Sans family

Well up enjoying a quiet morning......actually every morning is quiet when your empty nesters. I so enjoyed hanging out with family last week. As I have gotten older it seems those times are more precious for sure.

I usually get up early and hubby doesn’t. He got up right after I did this morning. I’am on my IPAD and he is on his.....LOL. I like the Apple keyboard I got him with his new iPad. Now I think I might get one. Very user friendly.

We took a few of our dining room chairs in to be recovered. There are only 2 people in town here that do that kind of work. One is a older lady that does exceptional furniture repair. A lot of people including myself are going to be sad when she retires.

Pancakes and bacon sound good Schumi.

Darth Vader speaking to me lol. I’m buzzing on sugar & java.

Darts Vader cake and celebrating with granddaughter sounds like you had a great birthday.....sugar and caffeine highs are allowed on your birthday.

Robo.....nice to see you drop by......hope things are good with you.......

Things are good here. Hope Tom is feeling better.

Bad enough walking along the street behind folks smoking....even far ahead of you, you can still smell it. Yet smokers argue you can`t smell it if it`s outside.....yes, you can......disgusting smell.

Not a fan of nasty cigarette smoke either.

We have some early apples this year, so making the most of them while we can......the farmer next to us takes most of the fruit to make produce with,...we do get some chutney`s and desserts though as a thank you, going to be bumper crop of Victoria Plums this year.....pears and apples will be average I guess.........enjoy those burgers, Tom`s just grilled the chicken for the chicken mac n cheese for later...…I like it a little charred for added flavour…..lush!!

The deer have eaten all the peaches and low hanging apples off our trees.

Poohls i’am sorry to hear you are having problems. Hopefully this new doc can help you sort out the best treatment for what is going on. Sending you get well wishes and lots of mummy dust.

I need to get motivated and clean my office desk today.


Have a great Saturday everyone.

 

[keishashadow]

slept in till 9:30 this morning, felt goooood lol

Admit to drooling over the Cheesecake Factory menu for at least a half hour, wondering what to order this go-round. That has to be one of the longest menus I’ve seen

At DL we have 2 ADRs for Olga’s! One on Wednesday early, and another on Friday I think! And I just booked this week for next week. There were plenty of times

It appears as the DL Olga’s times pop up 2 weeks out now. Was 60 days in past I believe. DL is nothing but good at changing their booking practices lol

It was a tikka madras curry. Very hot. I love Thai Red Curry, but Tom doesn't like lemongrass or galangal/ginger..

I want to like curry but get suddenly, violently ill afterwards. Can’t even do disney’s boma for dinner or breakfast. Not sure which spice it is. Do like lemongrass & ginger, had some great dishes with fresh lemongrass in the past. Surprised when i saw iit growing on an island, looks like a weed

Here, warm apple pie with (real ice cream, not custard) has it’s fans but most places just offer it neekie or with, gasp, hot with a slice of cheddar cheese! Can’t wrap my head around that idea.

Good luck. Sure hope they only had to stick you once for all those vials!

hope you got back to sleep, and are sound asleep. I am not fond of smoke or fish smells. Have to say, food from the water is not food I would eat. I did catch fish my mom would eat. I would not be in the kitchen when she cooked it.

Fried fish cooked properlydoesn’t stink up the kitchen. Culprit tends to be using the wrong or old/unfiltered oil. I’m really picky re seafood. Rarely will order fried fish when dining out, as it tends to soggy with grease.

I know finnegans has their fans but gave up ordering their fish offering a few years ago when the coating literally slipped off the filet - yuck.

Also wasn’t thrilled when i quizzed the waitress as to whether chicken wings would be compromised due to seafood allergy & she gave the wrong info. Assured me it was ok. Glad I asked to speak to chef who adamantly corrected her. Lombards was totally different, as soon as they heard ’food allergy’, sent out their Chef ala Disney protocol. for the record, was told all onsite Universal fryers are cross contaminated with seafood.

like the Apple keyboard I got him with his new iPad. Now I think I might get one. Very user friendly.

I’ve had a keyboard case from day one. Absolutely, love it. On my 2nd one, non apple product, zagg.

 

[Monykalyn]

Survived shopping but my CC may catch fire-holy cow have graphing calculators gotten expensive. And then older one tells me "oh I have an extra" So going to send that model with HS kid and see if it will work-saving me $125. Worked in garden a bit, need to shower and change and head off to lunch (Ebbet's Field is a tradition before a ball game). Taking two cars as In-laws are here and I will need to leave before end of game to get kiddo from airport!

I've been put on a strict gluten and dairy free diet

Hope that helps! Sometimes food challenges can help as well if you suspect a specific trigger food may cause flare ups for autoimmune disease. PM me if you have questions (am a Registered Dietitian)

Happy Saturday all!

 

[Charade67]

Successful shopping trip today. B got 4 new pair of jeans and 6 new tops. I had a rewards certificate from my favorite store, so I purchased a top I had been eyeing, but didn’t want to pay full price for. We also stopped by Office Max and bought a 3 ring binder. One of B’s textbooks isn’t actually a book. It came as loose leaf with holes punched in it.

Thanks all for Anniversary wishes! And the boy well wishes-almost back to normal-at least judging by his appetite tonight.

Good to hear that he is feeling better.

Glad the pain disappeared Charade.....I`ve never had a kidney stone, but had Gallstones on many occasions before I finally had it removed. Worst pain ever...….I`d give birth a hundred times over rather than go through that again!

I’ve had a couple of kidney stones before, but didn’t have the intense pain that is often associated with them. My problem was that I got really sick. I was praying that didn’t happen again. This time I had pain, but no nausea. My gall bladder was removed 6 years ago. Good riddance.

Hi there! I’m up at 3:30 too! But your 3:30 is different than mine with the time change! Hope we both get back to sleep! Glad to hear the pain has passed.

I was probably up with you. I was in the living room watching TV trying to get back to sleep. Every time I would start to drift off the cat would do something to wake me again. Of coures he is now sleeping peacefully on the sofa.

I went to the new doctor on Monday and got news that I wasn't expecting. I knew that I was an autoimmune mess, but she expects that there is more going on than just Hashimotos. They took 12 vials of blood (that was fun) and we should have results on Monday.

Tony and Corey have been champs about it...I couldn't ask for a more supportive family.

Oh Pooh, I am sorry to hear that. I hope your new doctors are able to quickly come up with a good treatment plan for you.

So, car wash, shopping, and pool time, with some park time too.

Sounds like a good afternoon.

Admit to drooling over the Cheesecake Factory menu for at least a half hour, wondering what to order this go-round. That has to be one of the longest menus I’ve seen

I usually order the same meal, but have the most trouble choosing the cheesecake.

Here, warm apple pie with (real ice cream, not custard) has it’s fans but most places just offer it neekie or with, gasp, hot with a slice of cheddar cheese! Can’t wrap my head around that idea.

I’ve heard of apple pie being served with cheese, but it seems really odd to me. I usually serve it with vanilla ice cream. I’ve probably shared this before, but here is my home made apple pie.

Survived shopping but my CC may catch fire-holy cow have graphing calculators gotten expensive.

I had to buy one for B a few years ago. I went to the local pawn shop.

I think I will go throw in another load of laundry. I don’t really have anything to do before my dinner tonight. Dinner with a bunch of mental health professionals. Should be fun.

 

[schumigirl]

Oh Pooh.....best wishes for Monday.....must be worrying what they will tell you....but at least then you can start to treat it properly...….yes, family support is the best!!

Lynne...hope you enjoyed the pool and shopping! Chicken mac n cheese was gorgeous...….very filling dish! Waited a while for apple pie and custard......yes, if fish smells of fish we trash it...….fish should smell of the sea and nothing else......I remember as a kid going to a neighbours house and the smell of fish when she cooked it was awful.....I still remember it vividly!!!

Robo...glad you like the keyboard for ipad. I tried it, but preferred typing on the ipad itself. But most of my friends have the keyboard...….good luck with the covering of chairs....….we have two big white comfy sofas in a sitting area in the kitchen.......got three quotes for recovering one of them......it was cheaper to go buy a new one...….didn't seem worth it. But if you have a lady that's reliable and good at what she does...….folks like that are worth their weight in gold!!

Monyk...enjoy your family time this weekend....will be lovely to see you daughter home......I remember Kyle having to get things like scientific calculators and similar accessories...….they were never cheap!!! I couldn't even work out how to use that calculator!! Far too complicated for me...

Keisha.....Cheesecake Factory menu is a good one! I was looking at some of our pics from there today....never disappoints. Yes, I`m ok with curry....love it....and love lemongrass too.....but that and ginger Tom just hates the smell of.....I made two types of fishcakes a few weeks ago...mine was shrimp with thai flavours including lemongrass.....his was just cod and simple ingredients.....yes, guess who got the wrong one!!! He had his first bit in his mouth before he noticed.....oops!!!

Not good with the allergy info there......that`s one of the issues we had against Mythos last time we went......not only was the food and service not good to say the least, the waitress was overly confident and quite rude about allergies...and was wrong. As soon as the food appeared I could see it was wrong. Every other place sent the chef out if necessary. Yes, deep fried fish can be awful...I prefer my fish fresh.

Charade...glad your shopping went well......and glad your pain has gone.....not nice. I got my gallbladder removed in 2002.....best thing ever!!! Yes, I`ve heard of apples and cheese served together and even apple pie with cheese.....quite common over here.....although we were never given cheese with it.

That`s a funny shaped dish????




Rained all day here...….now blowing a gale and weather warning in force...….lovely.

Chamber of Secrets tonight...….

 

[Lynne G]

Busy day at the park, crowds are here. Waiting for the parade and then we are outta here. Absolutely beautiful weather.

 

[Charade67]

That`s a funny shaped dish????

It’s a pi pan.

 

[Lynne G]

Carnival at the park, and yep they threw beads.



Tired feet, and ready for bed.

Have a good night, a restful one to all.

And ooh, the moon was almost full, and so bright in the sky tonight.

 

[schumigirl]

It’s a pi pan.

Tired feet, and ready for bed.

Have a good night, a restful one to all.

And ooh, the moon was almost full, and so bright in the sky tonight.

Nice pics Lynne........looked like a fun night. Hope those feet were alright!



Sunday morning.........still in bed today.....but awake. Thinking of getting up soon. No idea what weather is to be like today...hope it’s nice, we’ve had so much rain last few days.

Not sure what’s for breakfast.......Tom’s having an omelette....might have croissants.

Bacon has been cooked..........and eaten! Mac.....you’re late.......


Seeing Charades baking pan, reminded me we need new baking trays. I bake now and again, usually for church or village events and thought our trays looked a little in need of replacing. So homeward store was visited this morning and a load of new oven trays and baking equipment was replaced. All washed and put away and old ones trashed. Although Tom didn’t think they needed replaced at all........

Will make some cherry scones and a chocolate cake for them this afternoon.......just to use the new stuff of course......

Hope everyone’s good.........
