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

[Charade67]

Hello everyone. I am taking a break from math right now. I had planned on working on schoolwork all day, but there was a major power outage at the university today that affected the servers. The website was down almost all day. I spent most of the day watching college football. Going to try a quick catch up.

Love the bowling shoes!! And well done on the excellent score on your essay, you must be really pleased with that.

Thanks. The shoes look even cuter in person. Im always happy when my grade exceeds my expectation. I'm waiting for the second essay to be graded now.

And that pesky rain still try to wet those trick or treaters. But at least still saying late in the evening. And we do turn out our light at a reasonable time, around 8:30. Though being a school night, early kids may be. Though most years no one came after 7:30. Most start by 5:30 or so.

We had a rainy night as well. Probably got about a dozen kids.

Struggling to find proper lighting for some rooms and downstairs bathroom......got a few more places to try first.

I just discovered that we need new lighting for our spare room. DH set up a workspace for me there, but the lighting is not very good. I'm not sure if we will replace the ceiling fan with another fan or just a light fixture. The current fan is kind of ugly.

We made it back from the big city. Kids are all moved in and mostly settled.

I know you are relieved to have that done.

Enjoyed our time with our gd. She didn't want us to go home...broke my heart to leave her

Aww...how far away are you?

Great mark!!!! I hope you can find the motivation you have been missing.

Thanks, Still haven't found my motivation yet. I can't wait for this sub-term to end. December 16 can't come soon enough.

and do have some candy bars left which will be for tomorrow’s breakfast…

Candy for breakfast?

Oh my, was at a store this weekend, and yes, I heard Christmas music playing.

My next door neighbors have starting putting up their outdoor Christmas decorations. I love Christmas, but am not quite ready for music and decorations.

look at me, getting all artsy-fartsy with my weeping angel pic

Cool Angel. I recently saw that David Tenant is coming back briefly as the Doctor. I have to be sure to watch those episodes.

every year say I’m gong to wrap as I go & every year it’s a marathon couple of days wrapping them At the bitter end.

I usually wrap as I buy, but right now all the gifts I bought are just tossed in a bag in my closet.

I have a real love-hate relationship with Etsy. Mostly re the WDW custom tshirts. Highly rated shops and about 50-50 received off center decals & even some shirts with holes in them! Don’t get me started on shipping delivery times, admittedly spoiled by amazon but, most seem to have had a 3 week turnaround.

I have had good luck with Etsy so far. I will probably wait until sometime after January to start ordering our park shirts.

So I skipped Tim's this morning....now I remember why I never use skip. OH my that was an expensive Tim's run - I also got a couple of things for the work crew in here...but geeze that was pricey!!!!

Skipped? Is this like online ordering/delivery?

but I am pain free now.

Another molar will be dealt with in two weeks.
One more root canal and think that should be it

So sorry you need so much dental work, but glad you are pain free right now.

Does anyone have left over candy from Oct 31?

We have a bag of Hershey fun size bars left. I'm eating the chocolate and dh is eating the cookies & creme bars.

my husband had a stroke 3 days before wedding

He’s being followed up by his family doctor. Had Neurologist consult who was quite happy with his progress and released him to family doctors care.

I think new med, and dosage is working to control the BP. Too early to say for sure, only changed 2 days ago. But so far, so good!

Oh wow. How scary. So glad to hear he is doing much better and was able to make the wedding. Congrats to your daughter.

Here’s some pics of the party goodies.

Your party preparation always looks amazing.

I am so excited that one of my sons is coming to visit us in a few weeks from now
He has not seen our house once we moved in to it.
It’s been too long of a time since I have seen him.

How fun. I know you will enjoy some time with him.


I think I am done with math for tonight. I'm going to turn my clock back and go to bed.

 

[schumigirl]

Saturday seemed like a long day for me
Now I am done with getting the house all in order, trying to catch up on how all have been doing today.

I am so excited that one of my sons is coming to visit us in a few weeks from now
He has not seen our house once we moved in to it.
It’s been too long of a time since I have seen him.

It will be a short visit but we will pack a lot of time catching up with him.

Told him he can sleep on the plane ride going back home

I like southern living as snow is a rarity here.
Only thing I miss are my boys.

It`s getting close for his visit now! It`ll be lovely to see him and yes, you`ll make the most of his visit, and absolutely tell him he can sleep on the plane!!

He`ll be so excited to see you both too.

It`s always nice to do better than you think in anything, sounds like you`re getting excellent results for you hard work.

Yes, you need good lighting for doing anything like that. Good idea to change it out so you can see better. If it`s ugly.....absolutely get rid of it!!




We had such a lovely evening last night. After our Thai takeout which was delicious, we snuggled down on the sofa in the back room and watched Game of Shadows with RDJ and then Malice, an excellent film with Nicole Kidman, Alec Baldwin and Bill Pullman. Fabulous movie with a good twist.

Made another type of Gin cocktail and it was very nice too!!! Didn`t need the snacks I had made up as we were just too full. Slothing along the sofa with my husband was indeed the perfect night. Slept like logs too and slept late this morning till 8am which was bliss!!

Beautiful sunny day here but chilly which is just lovely for the time of year, it is Autumn now, time for Autumnal clothes......new boots and coat time!!! Heading out shopping this morning, shouldn`t be too long though as I know what I want.

Trying to decide if I want to do a roast chicken for tonight or make chicken & bacon mac n cheese just to be different, not normally a Sunday dinner meal, but quite fancy it, I know Tom will jump at it. We`ll see.

Breakfast first......bacon up mac.......

Have a lovely Sunday ​

 

[Lynne G]

Ah those sunny days are not here today. Overcast. But I’ll take it. Warm. Even with chance of drizzling rain this afternoon, still will be in the mid 70’s. And no matter, that high weather system will return by sunrise, and gloriously sunny days are the next three days. But ack, after another 74 the high degee on Monday, 55 degrees the high on Tuesday. Yep, 20 degree difference. Hence, those shorts will be short lived, for now. Lightweight winter type jacket on Tuesday for me. Though I’m guessing will be a shock a little, but refreshing to say hey, it is November and later in the Fall season weather.

Charade, good to hear from you, and hope math homework was not hard. When we set up our desk in our room, we added a light over it. I like to see well when typing in the screen. Good luck finding the right light.

Sue, hoping DH is doing well today. Continued good thoughts his blood pressure is normal now. Mummy dust well wishes to him.

Yay, Mac having one of her sons coming to visit. It should be great to have his company.

Sunday it is, and back on standard time. Hence I’m up early anyway.

Had a good night sleep, as went to bed with a headache. Took medicine to help with making me pass out asleep. Feel a dull ache, but think tea drinking is helping that. Won’t take more medicine unless that little bit of pain gets worse. That, and making some waffles for DH and I.

Hehe, with time change, may see both kids a little earlier. And older one works today. DH will be out the door soon, and so, a little one and me day. She has a store place she wants to go to, and then that’s it. Lazy Sunday? Yep. And that’s a good thing.

That, and our Sundays are always get those, now mostly full, trash cans to the curb. This Sunday is no different.

Sigh, clock changed, and alarm set. Yep, that back to week day routine starts already.

Ah, embracing that holiday decor outside too. Holiday mat on our stoop as changed from the pumpkin one. And wreath hung on the front door now. Little one picked up some battery operated star lights. May see if they can be on our front door too. I love seeing all those holiday lights as I pass by neighborhoods.

Good morning all.

 

[schumigirl]

Wow....deserted here today!!!

It started raining around 4pm today, but had been gorgeous up till then. We ended up going out for lunch with a group of friends to one of our village pubs.....sat near the fire they`ve started lighting again all day and evening, although the barmaid hates it as she is the one that has to clean and set it.......

Food was lovely and we had a nice time chatting with the other 6 folks.

So no cooking tonight in the end again. Enjoying a pot of tea right now in the kitchen trying to order our charity family Christmas cards/diaries/calendars from the Hospice. I get so far in ordering then it goes back to the beginning. Very frustrating, might have to give them a call tomorrow.

Rest of the night is maybe some tv later and start a new book and hope the rain stops for tomorrow.


And hope Robbie has enjoyed her wedding this weekend.........

I am playing catch up on the thread

Charade… math work done now?

Walking Dead???

I finished about an hour ago. 2 weeks down, 6 to go.

You`re a third of the way through.......almost half! There`s light at the end of the tunnel.......I admire your resolve, especially as you work full time too.






I hate waking up feeling tied....who does that after a good night`s sleep!

Had to drag myself out of bed, but once I was up and had my shower felt a lot better. I`m guessing I had a restless night as Tom asked me if I remembered chatting in my sleep a couple of times......er, obviously not! At one point I apparently looked towards our bedroom door that you can`t actually see from our bed as it`s round a corner, but I said oh you`re here again......lol.....not sure whether to laugh or be scared! My dreams are infamous!

Today, well once it`s light we`ll see what the weather is like, going to be almost 60 this afternoon, not bad for us for the time of year, but 50F this morning, might be nice to walk if it`s not breezy.

Will think about food later, far too early right now but time for an early cup of some breakfast tea......

Have a lovely Monday




​

 

[Lynne G]

Ooh house is almost too warm. And heater is silent. Yep, warm temp day today. And chance to tie or beat the high temp for today. 77 degrees they are predicting. Then the heater will be working soon enough. 20 degree drop on Tuesday.

But no matter, gloriously sunny days to start this week day routine holiday week. And even though the clouds and some rain chances predicted after 4 days of sunshine, this Friday is the holiday, so don’t care if not as clear skies. Predicted to be overcast and a bit rainy this holiday weekend, though the 10 day forecast says the sun returns next Monday. And nice to see only two 50’s high in that 10 day forecast, with mid 60’s the rest.

Fall weather report. Yes. Those 60’s degrees are more seasonal for us this time of year. So very nice to enjoy that high 77 temp this afternoon.

And so, back to that very early morning start week day routine for me. Still hot tea, even if a little warm. I don’t mind feeling a bit warm. More than feeling a bit cold.

Headache is gone, thankfully, and while I was a kinda restless sleeper, I’m feeling good.

Ack to Schumi having talking dreams. Yesterday, very early in the morning, I told my DH I heard the front door open. Went to check, and nope, no one there, and no one in our house. But as I passed by older one’s bedroom door, I heard talking. Not his voice, but another. Woke him up to ask if he had left an electronic on, where that voice could have come from. Said no. Odd. But I file that on, guess I was not as awake as I thought I was. Minds can make you see things that are not there. Hope you have a good night’s sleep feeling tonight.

Thus, most Marvelous of Mondays to all today. And hope you get to rock those sunglasses in a sunny and warm Monday today too.

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all, been enjoying the lovely weather. Only mid 60’s here today but, sun is shining & that’s still 10 degrees warmer than our norm!

Will go forth & get our “jabs” In a bit. Then a bit of shopping. Managed to convince the mr to get his 2nd shingles bump. He is resisting the flu one. Maybe the pharmacist will bat her eyes at him & do her magic there lol

Mac - wow, that is a long time away from family. Life is too short. Such exciting news for you, over Thanksgiving? enjoy your time together. Buy lots of food, DS morph back into teen eaters when they cross Mom’s doorstop lol

Hehe, older one got 25 punches yesterday. He worked yesterday, so we just had a late night happy birthday to him. Said we will celebrate his, and my two other siblings birthdays at Thanksgiving. We tend to group together birthdays that happened since the last time extended family got together.

a loud shout out to your DS!

 

[macraven]

keisha it’s over a 12 hour drive non stop (milwaukee to our place ) for son to our house so he will fly on my nickel

Will be first time he will see our house

Very excited to see him and his boy

It will be a short mini vacation for them.
Blink and it will be over.

Will give him a tour of our area and then spend the day eating bbq food
lol

They will be here and gone before turkey day

 

[Robo56]

Good Monday afternoon everyone.

Love your little Capt Jack!!! He is a cutie and growing so fast.... and your spread looks lovely as always.

Thank you Carole. He was a good sport for his mommy and actually didn’t mind the costume. Everyone enjoyed all the goodies.

Clouds have all disappeared now and we have almost Florida like crystal blue sky now, although we could never compete with them!!!

Looked like a beautiful day for a walk on the beach.

Hope you find the perfect outfit for tomorrow’s wedding Robo. Great pictures too. Resort looks beautiful, and spa ladies’ weekend? Sounds like a fun pampering time. So cute, little jack. And your Halloween spread looked so tasty, and those skulls looked great. Hope your coffee is hot in your HHN mug, and back feeling even better today.

Thank your Lynne. I was able to find something in the closet that worked out fine To wear for the wedding.

I had My big mug of coffee this morning. Hope your tea was hot and good this morning.

Looks lovely Robbie and yes a perfect place for a group of ladies, friends or relatives to get together, Spa weekends are lovely.

Enjoy looking after the little guy this morning and have a fabulous time at your wedding this weekend and good luck finding something to wear, never an easy decision.

I will have to see which ladies in the family can make the weekend getaway. It is a beautiful place to visit.

He looks very at ease in that elaborate costume, love it. Your buffet display belongs in the pages of a magazine!

Thank you Janet. Little J did like his costume. Everyone had a good time enjoying the goody buffet.

the day tour guide I had did go into great detail on the intricate decor/design in monsters. That, the fact it’s their bread & butter franchise & had some great scare actorsprobably sealed the deal

I guess that would make sense for sure. The house was very nice. And seeing it on the day tour really helped one appreciate it a lot more. I still think for over all design Dead Man‘s Pier was awesome. That was an original house and a fantastic one at that.

They have been getting better every year with their original designs.

Oh my, now can say I have 25 and 21 year old kids.

Happy birthday to your son Lynne.

Gin on the Beach……

Those drinks look delicious.

am so excited that one of my sons is coming to visit us in a few weeks from now
He has not seen our house once we moved in to it.
It’s been too long of a time since I have seen him.

So glad to hear you will get to spend some time with your son and grandson Mac.

Your party preparation always looks amazing.

Thank you Charade. Hope you are doing well. Hang in there. School will be over before you know it and you will be happy you finished out your degree.

And hope Robbie has enjoyed her wedding this weekend........

Carole we had a lovely time. It was a beautiful wedding. This was hubby maternal side of the family. The bride and groom looked so sweet together. Everything was very tasteful and elegant.


Janet sorry to hear your sons team has been hit hard with the flu. It is so hard when those players do their best to get out of the playoffs only to get hit hard with being sick at a time when the team needs all its best players. Best wishes for the fellows to get well soon.


I’am taking a break from taking down Halloween decorations and putting up Christmas. Don’t want to waste steps so as Halloween decorations go up to be stored I bring some Christmas down.

The wedding was beautiful Saturday. We really enjoyed the visit with all the family. The bride and groom are adorable and a sweet couple.

We had a good trip up to Carmel, Indiana on Saturday morning tor the wedding. It was about 4 hours away from us. The hotel that we stayed in was one of 3 that was chosen by the bride for guests to stay at. It was centrally located to the church and reception venue. It was a nice hotel and was very reasonably priced.

So now I’am trying to get things cleaned up around here and decorated for Christmas. Its a bit slow going, but I enjoy the process. Granddaughter offered to come over and help Saturday switch things around. I will see how much I get done today.

Hubby has MD appointment this afternoon so I need to get moving.



Have a wonderful Monday everyone doing what every it is that makes you happy.

Aren`t men funny.....Tom wasn`t planning to get the Flu jab, but we went in together and when he saw I got mine he said he might as well get his too....lol....said he`d blame me if he felt poorly......thank goodness he was fine!! I`d never have heard the end of it.....

Hope you both do well afterwards.

Yes, our weather woman said we`re all going to pay for this milder autumn......

keisha it’s over a 12 hour drive non stop (milwaukee to our place ) for son to our house so he will fly on my nickel

You`ll make the most of it for sure when they`re there with you. Spending time with them will be precious and yes, enjoy your BBQ place for food! Sounds idylic, cosied up together for their visit.

Good Monday afternoon eeveryone.

I`m glad the wedding went well, it`s always such a special time to see our young uns get married.

Yes, slow and easy with the decorations, don`t want to annoy your back!

Have a great day......






We had our lamps on just around 4pm today, definitely getting darker much earlier now, but, I do love dark cosy nights though, must be an old romantic!

Dinner was filling, made cajun chicken mac n cheese with a side salad, a little too rich for me so didn`t eat much of it, but still full. Made a large strong pot of tea afterwards, no goodies with it, just tea.

Been on the phone to one of my brothers catching up, once we start chatting we forget to stop. Now might pop the tv on and see if we can find something worth watching.

And just like that...it's winter here

I blinked and it was Monday morning and time to head into work.

Had a busy weekend. I was hoping to make an appearance this weekend, but between working both days, a little putzing and cleaning the house and also toss in a little brushing up on medical terminology for an interview later this week - I was a busy gal. Had a chat with the scheduling manager, and reminded him about only 1 day on the weekends. We made some changes to my schedule going forward. Crossing my fingers that he remembers going forward.

The snow started Friday evening as we were sitting down to eat...and it hasn't stopped yet Today the temps have dropped yet again...and it's currentlly - 30C or -22F with the windchill. It will be a plug in our vehicles night so that they all start in the morning. I'm already over winter already Oh well.

Not sure what I'm completely making tonight. I took chicken out of the freezer.

I’m still alive! Lol. It’s been a busy fall with wedding planning. Then got really crazy so haven’t been around.
Daughter (youngest, 32) got married Oct 1 outside wedding. Weather was summer like.
But………my husband had a stroke 3 days before wedding. Symptoms weren’t typical. He had nausea and was a little off balance. At first we thought it was a stomach flu. But next day his brother said he thought we should take him to ER. Turns out it was a brain bleed.
we were lucky it was small,and they were able to stop it.

Gosh, wow! It's good to hear your dh is recovering. How stressful and traumatizing that must have been. i hope he continues to recover.
I was telling @macraven that you watch TWD as well! At least I think it was you

We all had a nice time.

THAT LOOKED AMAZING!!!!!! Wow, you sure know how to do a party!!!!!

Clouds have all disappeared now and we have almost Florida like crystal blue sky now, although we could never compete with them!!!

That picture is beautiful! You are very lucky to live close to the water.

Bonfire night tomorrow and we have fireworks for the garden. Luckily Louie doesn’t mind them but I keep him indoors and I stay inside with him. A few big displays around but we enjoy just having ours at home. Kev is very organised and has everything and everyone safe while he handles them. Think we will order take out to complete the evening.

I hope you had a great Bonfire Night!

Oh my, now can say I have 25 and 21 year old kids. Hehe, older one got 25 punches yesterday.

Happy birthday to your kiddo. They grow up so fast!!!! Time definitely moves too fast!

Gin on the Beach……

Those looked delicious!!!!!! That is my type of beverage!

Hello everyone. I am taking a break from math right now. I had planned on working on schoolwork all day, but there was a major power outage at the university today that affected the servers. The website was down almost all day. I spent most of the day watching college football. Going to try a quick catch up.

That must have been the universe saying you needed a break

Skipped? Is this like online ordering/delivery?

Yes...it's Skip the Dishes! Or Door Dash! I should have clarified

Headache is gone, thankfully, and while I was a kinda restless sleeper, I’m feeling good.

It's good to hear the headache is gone. Those are never fun.

We had our lamps on just around 4pm today, definitely getting darker much earlier now, but, I do love dark cosy nights though, must be an old romantic!

Yup...with the time change now - lamps and lights are on much earlier again. It is an adjustment - but by mid Jan - I ready to see more daylight again.

Well, I should shuffle a few more papers.

Have a great day everyone!

Oh heck Pumpkin!!!! I know it`s November, but it does seem really early for that type of weather....maybe because we`ve all had a kind of milder autumn all over it just doesn`t feel like it should be snowing already.

That is crazy cold!!

Yes, while I do love cosy autumn/winter evenings by end of February I`m more than ready for spring. And yes, I think you`d have loved that cocktail!





We are supposed to have some high winds this week, but not too cold yet so maybe not winter coat time, one of the warmer jackets will do for now. Looks a nice enough morning out there, just a little breezy.

Got the dentist today, just a check up but always get nervous for these appointments regardless. I do like this new dentist though. Then have a few things to pick up while we`re out. This time of year is so quiet, not much going on anywhere, although some of our friends are away so no plans afoot except for a lunch tomorrow, but only the four of us as the other two Wednesday lunch couples are away, one in the Caribbean and one in the Maldives.....I`d be so bored, but they love sun worshipping and water activities, so it`s perfect for them.

Breakfast soon, but tea for now, no idea what`s for dinner although it`s probably going to be chicken or steak....that narrows it down a little!

Happy Tuesday

Taco Tuesday, yay. And a voting one for me, and Keisha.

Clear sky and much cooler out. 44 degrees out. Thankfully, not as cold, or even snowy, like Pumpkin. Now that’s cold and ooh snow already. Hope your Timmy stops are plentiful with that cold weather.

And so, tea and early morning routine. House feels a bit cool this morning.

But yay, today Mac may get a Taco Bell meal.

Thus, all enjoy a taco or two, or even just dream of a taco eating day, and today is that day. Taco Tuesday is here. Woot!

mac, I wake every morning having no clue what day it is.....they do all blend together when every day is a day off......lol.....

Enjoy those steaks though.......






Clean bill of health from my dentist and got a call from them asking if I could go in early which suited us better. He went to Orlando in August with parents and other family, I was telling him last time about Velocicoaster and Hagrids and he loved them both, I was happy to hear, so we had a good old chat about everything Floridian!!!

Did some shopping and dropped a birthday gift and card off to one of our friends and ended up staying for lunch which was lovely...she made up lunch like an afternoon tea which was really nice, all delicate little sandwiches and some macarons that she makes herself....gorgeous!!

But, making chicken with a madeira and mushroom sauce for dinner, just won`t have a large portion and do some veg on the side.

Still very warm here considering the time of year.....it`s breezy but so mild.

4pm and lamps on though......

It's a cold Taco Tuesday here

Temps are cold...but forecast is to warm up to more tolerable levels again. But in the meantime - I'm a tad grumpy It definitely is payback for the amazing fall weather we had lol.

Been busy today shuffling papers again. HR hat has another pin in again for moving another employee through all the paperwork and training. Gotta love being the head paper wench

I went out over lunch to pick up a few supplies to whip up a cheesecake for a gf's birthday. She needs it to be gluten-free - and I wasn't sure how or what I was going to use. But I was able to find gluten-free graham wafer crumbs!!!!! I wasn't sure I would find those in our neck of the woods. So tonight will be cheesecake making night - I think. I hope to get to see her tomorrow for a quick stop in and chin waggle.

Well, it's almost 4:00. I have been trying to finish this since 10:30 am. I still gotta had to the bank yet today before heading home. Busy busy!

Have a great evening everyone!!!!
