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

[Robo56]

Good Wednesday morning everyone

Said items are now replenished, and we even ate there last night, as the food court is FINALLY back from the c-vid. I had a poutine...yup...poutine at Canadian Costcos...and they are pretty.

I wonder if all Costco’s sell food in their food courts that have menu items from the local food favorites. Poutine sounds interesting.

Then packed while sipping prosecco.......always makes it fun!!

Sounds like a nice way to pack.

Safe travels to your overnight hotel. Enjoy your salon time.
I’am sending a plane for you tomorrow. I love the saying on it.




Keisha for sure time spent with family is precious.


Lynne enjoy your tea this morning. Your countdown for HHN is starting too.


Mac hope you and your hubby are feeling better.



Up early this morning. Need to accomplish some things today. I have a foo foo day at the Beauty salon this morning. Hair, manicure and pedicure. My hair really needs a good touch up.

My older sister and her hubby arrived yesterday afternoon. We all got together for a nice meal out yesterday evening. We are leaving tomorrow to travel up to Iowa for her youngest sons wedding on Saturday.

It looks like the weather will be great for their outside wedding Saturday.


I need to pack to my suitcase this afternoon and do some banking.

Starbucks is supposed to have their pumpkin cream cold brew back. I will make a stop there this morning before my salon appointment.

I put up my Halloween trees.









It’s never to soon to celebrate Halloween.



Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.

Wedding congratulations and best wishes to Robo’s nephew and his bride. Hope the weather is perfect for their wedding this weekend.

Good to hear from you Robo. So nice to be pampered, nails and hair. I’m sure you will look lovely for the wedding. Hope your coffee stop has the drink you are looking forward to. Been advertised all over here, about Fall drinks on their menu now. Have to say, not really a fan of flavored coffee, but cream (half and half) and some vanilla, and a perfect iced coffee. I still find Starbucks coffee a little too sharp tasting to me. But do order their iced coffee and refreshers sometimes. Little one more a fan of Starbucks coffee than the other three of us.

Sunny out, and lode the sunshine pouring through the windows. Got those sunglasses ready. Very nice day for a lunchtime walk. And being a Wednesday, walk to the little village I’m in, to get those dollar dumplings. They are delicious. Hence most likely the lunch menu.

Just think, tomorrow, we turn the calendar to September

Bahumbug Only two things that make September palatable to me are HHN and Halloween

Robbie as always, your holiday trees are stunning. Hope the weather is perfect for the wedding weekend, enjoy. Enjoy the foo-foo day, term always makes me

It's that hump day stop in! I love see see hump day arrive...I know that the weekend is just over the horizon. Dh is an " A" Type personality, so it's always days of rechecking what we have, what we need etc etc etc. It's how he is, and I just roll with it. After 30+ yrs, I pick and choose the battles . This is not one of them...so I roll with it. But I am looking forward to the slowing down, sitting, reading and enjoying the days over the weekend with maybe a boat ride or two.

It's a beautiful day here again. It is fall/August/harvest weather - cool mornings with high temps during the day. Yesterday was a balmy 33 C or 92F . It was also super windy - which is typical this time of year. The wind definitely helps the crops dry and ripen and helps with keeping the moisture off once they knock it off to harvest it. The combines are starting to finally roll their wheels here. It's finally starting...about 3 weeks late.

PS can’t put a price on family time together, you blink & the kids are grown.

I agree - hence why I a, pushing for a trip to Florida for us with the 2 boys. I went with dd to Florida 5 yrs ago and we had a ball. They have padded bank accounts to help pay for park tickets and a few other things along the way...so that helps us as well. We have lots of points/rewards to use up, so I think we could do both trips without breaking the bank too bad.

Housework all done, so there`s nothing to do this morning except have breakfast, pack toiletries and head off when the car service comes. Going to be a busy house while we`re gone, so spare rooms have all been set up, good to know there`s always going to be someone here.

Enjoy the trip and salon time! You will find some time to get some extra winks in along the way!

lady camel enjoying this very sunny, hump of a day Wednesday. Love those eyelashes, long ones like little one naturally has.

No long lashes for me either. They are not super short either. A good lengthening mascara and I get a good lash I hope your tea lasted longer than mine. Enjoy your temps today!

Enjoy the salon day! I know how much I enjoy mine. I don't know what it is, but being pampered like that is refreshing. Have a great time at the wedding!
I love your halloween decorating!!!!!!

Well, I started this at 9 am...it's not 11;10...and I haven't even started my paper shuffle. So I should get a move on the paper shuffle.

Have a great day everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always enjoy Robbie’s pictures !!
Robbie, have safe travels to Iowa !

The wedding will fabulous!

Where are you homie?

Ah, Thirsty Thursday here. Woke up, and was like, I do need that tea now. Hence, put that tea kettle on the stove quickly. Then got ready as it whistled it was very hot. Yay. On my, I do need a larger cup/mug. Maybe a hole in mine like Pumpkin? Oh well. My teapot, and tea kettle are both rather large, so can refill my cup several times. Like two times already. Ugh. But even though in an ac home, still good to be hydrated this time of year.

A quick and relaxing flight for Schumi today. Hope you have a most fabulous time this month enjoying that FLA heat.

Safe travels to Robo, wonderful to hear of a family wedding for all to toast the happy newlyweds. Your decor is always so perfect. Love the decorated trees.


But ah yes,


Yes, August, the birthday month of five of my extended family, including me. Sadly, also the month I lost my dad over 30 years ago.

But yay for September, as not only does it have a change in seasons during the month, but starts that woot, no work day holiday every couple of weeks. And for me, last two weeks of September having some more park fun.

So,


Hope this September finds all feeling great, and taking time to enjoy the late Summer sunshine.

Weather, here. Hehe, many City schools do not have ac. Wall to wall sunny day, and will be hot this afternoon. Thus, the City kids get a half school day, as way too hot feeling schools by lunchtime. My local school district, as many around the City, don’t start school until after Labor Day. And most late Summer, early Fall, I remember my kids in shorts most of September, into October. And many suburban schools do have ac.

But is the time of year we get cooler mornings and evenings, with glorious sunshine afternoons. But today, more like a typical Summer day. And we still are in Summer. So, hot, and that most bluest of skies today. Yay! Though dry we have been. As next chance of rain is not until Monday.

So, if today is hot or not so hot, get that drink of choice, today, and drink up this Thirst Thursday. Hope this post finds all hydrated and happy. And most importantly, drinking with a smile knowing Friday is tomorrow. Like a shorter week day Friday for me. Woot! But back to normal longer day routine I go today.

I love my job, I love my job, I love my job Some days...I tell ya. Working with all men is NOT any easier than working with all women. The same stuff happens in an all male environment. Only with heated arguments and fists almost flying

It's a bright beautiful day here again today!!!! It's been a great month of warm/hot weather. There are not many signs yet that the tree leaves turning - but I'm sure that's coming fast...but for now, I'm just loving that we have hot weather, green trees and it's September!!!!

No walk last night, but we did get most of the camping stuff loaded. Tonight I'll pick up the groceries, pack some food. Wash a few clothes, then we will be ready to hit the road! I

I've been on the phone lots with dd. Today is their moving day. She is stressed to the max. I almost called in sick yesterday and today, to drive there, and help with all the last things they had to do yet, or help with gd or their dogs.

Well, I should get started with the daily paper shuffle. Gotta love being the head paper wench lol.

Have a great day everyone!

Where are you homie?

Still here. Just swamped with school work.

 

[macraven]

charade maybe since you are tied up today with studying, your daughter or husband will handle dinner tonight

 

[keishashadow]

Just back. Long drive to an appt with one of my DS. Thankful traffic was light and no rain

Did get the brisket in crockpot before 7 am. Smelled divine opening the door. Dog is in kitchen keeping guard lol

No long lashes for me either.

Mine are still pretty long for an old bag. That paraphrasing what the last new hairdresser tossed out as a back handed compliment

I swear by maybelline great lash as it’s buildable, doesn’t clump and it’s ridiculously cheap.

Have friends who do the lash extensions. Some of them look like spiders affixed to their eye lids

Yes, August, the birthday month of five of my extended family, including me. Sadly, also the month I lost my dad over 30 years ago.

Aw, talk about a month of extremes for you

many City schools do not have ac.

Most of the ‘burbs don’t either here. Doesn’t sit well with the tax payers. Most of us have no central air as hot water heat being so popular here. Not to mention many schools don’t start till after Labor Day & done first week in June

The same stuff happens in an all male environment. Only with heated arguments and fists almost flying

Do you work for professional wrestling? Lol

Still here. Just swamped with school work.

Oh no, watch out

I didn’t see the start of the conversation about no aircon in schools, but I was shocked the amount of schools in Long Island/New York that don‘t have it…….cannot imagine in some of the heat they get. My cousins are both teachers there and often talk about how bad it can get!

You do have nice lashes actually! I use Clinique mascara but I find it a little clumpy at times, so I’m going to try and find a new one this time around……was going to look at Chanel as a couple of my friends use them and they always have beautiful lashes…..of course might just be they have better lashes than I do!





Yes, almost 5am and I’m up…….pitch black outside which is usual for here of course, then all of a sudden it’s light.

Had a lovely travel day yesterday, enjoyed some food, chatter and cocktails last night in Strong Water and ready to start the day now…..well, hopefully I’m going back to bed to sleep for another couple of hours…….fat chance and no chance are probably the answer to that!

But, lovely to be back, and so excited for HHN tonight….might try and snooze this afternoon instead of going out somewhere, lack of sleep and jetlag are a poor mix.

But, no complaints……so happy to be here!

 

[Lynne G]

Thank goodness it is a Friday. I’m ready to relax already. But at least a shorter week day routine for me. So clear out now, it’s a beautiful early morning. Partly cloudy afternoon, but after sunrise, that glorious golden sunshine will be pouring into the windows. Hehe, weather news said fabulous weather today.

And so, a holiday weekend coming up. Any shorter week is a good one. And for me, T minus 16 now. Woot!

Thus, Schumi, hope your flight was good. Yeah, time change, and you are generally an early riser, can see why up early today. But glad to hear arrived, and enjoyed some Strong Water time. Hope HHN will be quite enjoyable tonight. And hope you do get back to sleep soon. Otherwise, afternoon nap may be a good idea.

Ooh another hot day, as we get to over 90 the high by Sunday. 88 the high today.

And tea for me.

That most Fabulous Friday homies.

And safe travels and so nice to have family together for wedding happiness, this weekend, Robo.

Oh, and have a good morning too.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

And it's Friday Thank goodness!!! And I'm only working half a day today...so even better. There is not much sitting on my desk - so the paper shuffling is light today.

We have another beautiful day on the horizon. We are almost ready to head out for the weekend. Pack the food and clothes then we will be ready to head out.

Had a lovely travel day yesterday, enjoyed some food, chatter and cocktails last night in Strong Water and ready to start the day now…..well, hopefully I’m going back to bed to sleep for another couple of hours…….fat chance and no chance are probably the answer to that!

It's great to hear you made it safe and sounds and enjoyed an evening chatting in one of your favorite hangouts! I hope you were able to get a little more sleep.

Thank goodness it is a Friday. I’m ready to relax already.

I am happy it's Friday too!!! It's great that it's a long weekend to boot! Enjoy your weekend!

Well, I should shuffle some papers, and answer some emails with more papers lol.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[keishashadow]

was going to look at Chanel as a couple of my friends use them and they always have beautiful lashes

Well ‘ello, you. Going to try to catch the redo on the launch tomorrow?

rarely wear lipstick, like the Chanel for ‘feel’ and staying power.

I’m the person that started to toss open mascara and eye liner within a month or so upon doctor’s recommendation. This, after having a couple of eye infections.

history of cosmetics is rather interesting, recently read of this 17th century woman’s “contributions” Giulia Tofana

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah, even though my eyelashes are blonde, I don’t like mascara. Little one’s are so long, she only uses clear mascara, as she has beautiful very dark brown, pretty much black colored eyelashes. Bad thing is, she hates wearing glasses due to eyelashes hitting them. Certain sunglasses she will wear, as I guess they sit just right.

Almost time. Have to do some banking, as local school tax is due. Always take advantage of discount for early paying. That time of year.

Hope all are doing great this afternoon.

 

[keishashadow]

Lynne I have to curl mine. Has DD tried? Only on naked lashes tho. Had a friend’s whose cracked off when she freshened them up when wearing mascara

PS loved the backyard brawl last night. Not an alumni of either school but, since it’s local and i’ve paid tuition there, Pitt is it for me.

Off to friday night lights soon, tailgating (living room gating?) as DS house First.

 

[macraven]

This week has gone by fast for me.
Only have checked off 3 things in my “ to do” list this week.

I dread buying cat food on a Saturday as those pet stores get crowded

 

[Charade67]

Another quick hello. I am taking a break for the rest of the evening. I have completed all of my book work and writing for the week. I just have my photo assignment left to do.

I know Schumi is in FL right now and Mac and Lynne will soon follow. I'm still planning to go too if I don't get too stressed over the next few weeks. Anyone else going to be there 9/20-9/24?

 

[Lynne G]

You need that quick get away, Charade. Nice to just relax that long weekend. And we can certainly meet up for a meal, and some park time if you need company. Solo is great, as can do and not do whatever you want. I look forward to my mostly solo September time. With the flights as they are, little one may not join me for a long weekend as she did last year.

Awesome evening. Clear and warm out. Alarm has been turned off after it went off this morning. Glad to not have to turn it on for one night more. Holiday Monday, yay!

Peaceful night wishes to all.

Older one should be home soon, and DH is loudly watching whatever, I’m sure with eyes closed half the time. Little one is online chatting with friends. She’s our very late night owl. However, its usually the one night I do stay up a little later. Crap on the tube so far, though. Bored enough, I’ll get sleepy. But did make my evening tea. So nice to sip away the evening.
