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

[schumigirl]

Thank you, your kind words mean a lot to me. Its hard going sometimes even now but for the most part is getting better. I can't believe you had fog, that's awesome, I think its so atmospheric especially when it deadens the sound around you. Your lunch sounds lush. I've been having a lot of BBQ's as the weathers nice. Nothing better than cooking food over an open fire.



Thank you , how was your walk? Were sunglasses required?

I remember that there are some avid readers in the group? I've been reading a really kinda fascinating but disturbing book called 'What lies between us'. Its about a daughter who has her mother chained and held captive upstairs. Its so grim yet very good read. You find out how they both go to this situation. Neither of them are innocent. Got about 1/4 left to go and i'm desperate to find out how it ends.

lol.....we have a gas barbecue.......wouldn’t be without it.......yep, lazy but food is still so good.

I can imagine it’s hard at times, but sounds like you’ve put the worst behind you.

Fog is gorgeous, I love it.....except when you have to drive in it.....not fun. Thankfully it was just our village for some reason. Looking out to sea was weird too, it just hung there like a big black bank of cloud.

Try The Light Between Oceans......ML Steadman wrote it. There is a movie, but I was told to not watch it, just read the book.

Our book group read it last year, and it was without a shadow of a doubt one of our favourite reads ever. No one disliked it, which is unusual........

That sounds a heavy going book......hope you like the ending.



Still sitting out in the sun, bit of a cool breeze out of the sun, but we’re cocooned a little in here which is nice.....just have to move a little as I have no sunscreen on.......and the sun is shining through the gaps in the wood........

Diet Pepsi with lemon is our drink today........

When I drink soda, that’s one of my favorite, with lemon,Schumi.

Not quite lunchtime for me, BagO. But will certainly wear sunglasses, as still bright out.

I was reading something this afternoon and said Cheesecake Factory was closing? Has anyone heard that. I hope it’s not true

Nooooooo

Awww, everyone you make me feel so warm inside remembering me. Unfortunately one of the reasons i disappeared was that my husband decided to cheat on my 1 year into our relationship, 10 years down the drain it seemed, its taken me a while to get over all of it in all honestly, I was at the time so happy to be married to him.

I clearly told my keeper DH that if anything went south on this marriage, I was planning on be a widow vs a 2 times divorcee
It’s dead at PIT

Keisha and MoneyK, I hope you have great trips!

Today has been such a Monday. I was woken up at 5:00 by the sound of the cat being sick. By the time I got back to sleep it was almost time to get up. Caspian has been sick several times over the past few days, so I thought it best to take him back to the vet today. She couldn't find anything physically wrong with him, so she gave him some medication that should settle his stomach. She said that if he continues to vomit then she would want to do an x-ray just to make sure there aren't any internal issues. She also sent us home with a couple of cans prescription food for digestive issues. Caspian, who normally doesn't care much for wet food, ate that stuff like it was the greatest thing he ever tasted.

The humans in the house had spaghetti for supper. We usually just have a meat sauce, but tonight I decided to do meatballs instead. Dh came into the kitchen, looked at the food, and asked, "Spaghetti and meatballs?" A few minutes later B did the same. I somehow managed not to make a sarcastic reply.

I laugh about the names of the grocery stores in the south...wawa, piggly wiggly. Makes me smile.

I think WaWa is actually a northern based company.

Charade VR room sounds fun! Always makes me think of -was it Startrek that had thehologram room? So fun!
Chicken meet sounds fun! We had a meet with some of us last year at HRH! We had a great time. They tried to talk me into HHN without success!

Yes, Star Trek Next Generation. I would love to do a meet up, but will not be going to HHN. Dh would be happy to go though.

Charade I got a jump on you, changed my clothes out a few weeks ago! Always a good opportunity to weed out stuff you haven’t worn.

I wanted to do it earlier, but our temperatures kept dropping.

I was reading something this afternoon and said Cheesecake Factory was closing? Has anyone heard that. I hope it’s not true

I read that it's only temporary. Our closest Cheesecake Factory is 2 hours away.

And we are leaving Friday for Florida. Went ahead and decided to use the timeshare weeks. Marriott Harbor Lake has the most amenities open including the big pools. Flying oldest down for a week, and DH and the boy are flying back a couple days early-DH has a golf tourney and son has Freshman band camp. I think DH wants to try to go to Universal too-will be interesting so we will see. Three of us have AP's. Will wait for after the first week probably and see what is up. Have one of the DD's friends come stay at the house to watch chickens and dog, and make a some money.

Have a great trip. Hope you have good weather.

This reminds me of a youtube video i watched about common cat myths which two vets are discussing. Purring doesn't always mean content and happy, the vet says, i 'I can't count the number of times i've been bitten by a purring cat'

The only time I have ever heard my cat purr is when he is kneading.

It’s dead at PIT

I don't think I've ever seen an airport that empty.

Time to relax for the rest of the evening. I'm thinking about making some cookies.

 

[Lynne G]

Cookies?


safe travels Keisha!

Safe travels this Friday to MonyK.

beans and hotdogs on grill, grilled the corn in the husks too. Summer time meal, as so nice an evening.

Enjoy your Monday night homies! Off to find something sweet, after Charade mentioned baking sweets.

I’m a bad influence.

Is it bad it`s not even 9am and I`m craving sweet!!!!



Happy Tuesday........

It`s lovely to know the hotels will be opening back up today, well most of them.......I got two emails yesterday from folks at the hotel saying they were back at work. I have been in touch with them throughout this, so good to know things are beginning to start up.

Today is a walk up into the woods......then pop into the car to get a few essentials......we go through so much milk in this house!!!

Hope Keisha is having a lovely time on her trip......it sounds so lovely.

May cook out tonight, as weather has to break tomorrow and rain is forecast all day......although the plants, grass and trees all need it badly. The sprinklers have been permanently on last few weeks, but rain is better. And when it rains here, it forgets to stop.

Did get a text from one of my friends who lives about two hours away asking if we were having our usual Boxing Day get together this year?????????? I replied was she serious.....she was!!! I told her I honestly hadn`t even given it a thought.....will I want around 40 people in my home by then......absolutely!!!!

Have a great Tuesday

I’m a bad influence.

LOL

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I am not fond of Diet Coke, much rather have Diet Pepsi. Sugared ones, I rarely drink. Rather have water or lemonade than regular soda.


Ooh, Schumi is thinking sweets, me,



Yep, a Tuesday is here, and Mac’s day she has Taco Bell food.

And, for those thinking about the parks,


Hehe, but either way, celebrate today, a Tuesday is here, and the weather is going to be 10 degrees higher. Heat pump of tropical weather is coming, along with gusty thunderstorms chances, for the next 4 days.

Ah, time for another up of tea, cereal and maybe a tastykake. Easy week day breakfast.

So, homies, welcome to an overcast start to this Tuesday, and,

 

[schumigirl]

That’s funny Lynne........

A few folks I know can drink both coke and Pepsi, diet version, but most folks I know loathe one or the other.....most are Pepsi drinkers.

Yes, I don‘t drink a lot of fizzy drinks at home. Our lemonade is fizzy over here generally, so I do have that and or ginger beer with cocktails......in America I love their Fanta.....full of the bad stuff we don‘t have in our drinks over here.....but while I’m on vacation.....I can live with it!

Possible thunderstorms for us tomorrow maybe not as impressive as American storms though......but plenty of rain for sure.



Enjoyed our walk......met the daughter of one of my best friends who passed away, and we haven’t seen her since the beginning of the year.......it’s always lovely to see her as we just adore her. Can’t believe it’ll be four years this month since my friend passed away. Time really does fly.

Also on the way back we met the owner of the Chinese Take out closest to us, he was jogging but stopped to chat and was glad to hear he’s fully opening up from this week......so glad to hear it as he is such a lovely man, nice family too. And the best Chinese food around!!! Think that’ll be this weekend for us then instead of pizza......

Thinking about lunch now......it is only 11.30am......

Dinner is definitely a barbecue as it is glorious outside again......hard to imagine it’ll be so different tomorrow.

 

[macraven]

Will have a busy day at my house.

windows we ordered will be installed today

this is almost as exciting as Taco Bell day

Woohoo.....it`s finally the day they get done!!!

Hope you`re pleased with the result......

 

[Lynne G]

Lucky Mac, new windows and a Taco Bell dinner this Tuesday! Woot!

Life can’t be any sweeter Lynne!

Life can’t be any sweeter Lynne!

Yes indeed, and the mouse just made my decision, SF booked for my first 5 nights, then I move over to RPR for the next week. Might as well use my USAP more days.

Today is another Monday. First I overslept by 40 minutes, then the cat threw up in the hallway while I was taking a shower. Since I was the only one awake I got to clean it up before I left. I got to work and my boss decided she needed to clean my keyboard with a bleach solution, so I had to smell that all morning. One of our therapists downloaded our scheduling software onto her laptop, but we can’t get it to communicate with office computer. On the plus side, I’m having a good hair day.

A few folks I know can drink both coke and Pepsi, diet version, but most folks I know loathe one or the other.....most are Pepsi drinkers.

I grew up near Atlanta, so I have always been a coke person. I don’t care for Pepsi, and will not drink the diet version of either. The only diet sodas I like are Sprite and Sunkist.

Also on the way back we met the owner of the Chinese Take out closest to us, he was jogging but stopped to chat and was glad to hear he’s fully opening up from this week......so glad to hear it as he is such a lovely man, nice family too. And the best Chinese food around!!! Think that’ll be this weekend for us then instead of pizza......

So glad you will be getting your Chinese food back.

Hello Lynne, Mac, any anyone else who stops by. I took an early lunch, so it’s almost time to go back.

 

[macraven]

Your lunch hour is probably over now.... I’m late but I have an excuse
First had the monthly spray treatment inside and out for bugs and then installers arrived for window replacement

They are still here working.

Back later!
