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

[Lynne G]

Yeah, I am just not a night owl, just sometimes. Early bird, yes, most of the times.

Beef sounds lush tonight, Schumi. And the storm you are having is in the news. Yeah, a good day to stay inside. Cloudy start for me, but I think only chance of rain is North of me. Happy that just above average temps with 45 the high today.

Ah, yep, welcome to Sunday.

Tea for me. Some breakfast tea, I picked up yesterday from a cute tea shop. Quite tasty, and perfect wake up drink on this almost cool feeling house. Lights on for me too, so far.

Cold, snow not going anywhere soon. Almost forgot what winter looks like in western PA. Haven’t left house since Wednesday, I do love hunkering down in the winter. Jr coming for early dinner before Mr heads off to work. Will need to don my snow boots to fire up the grill. I always question my judgement these days as to why I had the area set back in far corner of back yard.

Tomorrow DH & both go to get sliced & diced at Dermatologist. His first foray into those grounds, hope he’s still talking to me afterwards

I'm a little confused about Ky07/StL? I don't know which name to use. Oh well, nice to meet you and congrats to your son.

I dubbed him “saint” as he is a very patient, non-judgmental man...the L is part of his name

Dh and I have starting planning a short spring break trip. We have decided to go to DC. We want to visit some of the places we didn't get to the last couple of times we where there. I need to get B's input too.

Haven’t physically been “into” the city since a kid. It is def on our radar, not sure why we haven’t been back by now. The Mr’s extended family lives in the far southern burbs. my thought for us (to avoid the beltway) would be to find a hotel as far north as possible on the metro route.

Greetings from the Virginia DMV. What a morning this has been. My license doesn’t expire until December, but I decided to go ahead and get my real ID before the rush before October 1. I got to the DMV 15 minutes before they opened and was 10th in line. I got to the window and discovered that I had accidentally brought an unofficial copy of my birth certificate. Annoying, but no problem. So I thought. I went back home to get the certificate out of our safe. It wasn’t there. It also wasn’t in either of the other 2 fireproof boxes that we used before getting the safe. I spent the next 45 minutes tearing the house apart looking for my birth certificate. I finally found it in a storage box that was at the bottom of our linen closet. It was in a old school folder of B’s. I have no idea why it was there. I am just grateful that I found it. Now I am waiting for my number to be called. Hopefully I won’t be here too much longer.

Ugh. Every person I’ve talked to thus far has had some glitch. I thot I had it in hand, easier with a passport as to docs (didn’t have to produce name changes for myself, etc). Turned out our DMV doesn’t take debit or credit cards. Came back another day, really glad I brought 2 checks as you cannot combine multiple people’s fees on one.

Oh that sucks about not getting in a quick trip down to Orlando!!! That would have been lovely for your anniversary....

I am known for being tenacious ...sound better than a pitbull when I want something hehe

Thanks for being our bacon cooker..
( yes I make new words up)

Many people here call George Foreman grills that. I’ve never taken a shine to them, so messy to clean

I`ve been called worse than a bacon cooker and quite recently too!!!!

You know you are doing something ‘right’ when people make the effort lol

Dh and I went to brunch this morning and then I dropped him off at the airport. I then went to Target to make an exciting purchase of dish towels.

Ooooh, aaaah . Hey, something little like a dish towel can brighten you day. Like coffee/tea mugs, I aim for the outfield and get the goofiest ones possible, just to bring a smile

Bummer. Is there any place else you could go for the weekend?

Local resorts were in $400 range per night. Factoring in the airfare, hotel & rental car; the 4 day trip is less than 3 nights local, Niagara Falls or DC. Go figure.

Never stayed at Caribe Royale before, seems nice enough

Yup thought I was dreaming when I saw snow in our yard this morning

but when the sun was out the snow was all gone by lunchtime

Enough to get it out of our system

Good bye sweet husband, hello Mexican food With daughter!

ROTF

Quick good morning before I head off to church. I think this afternoon I will do all the productive stuff I ignored yesterday,

Haven’t physically been “into” the city since a kid. It is def on our radar, not sure why we haven’t been back by now. The Mr’s extended family lives in the far southern burbs. my thought for us (to avoid the beltway) would be to find a hotel as far north as possible on the metro route.

I think the last time we were there was in 2012 when we went with B's Girl Scout troop. We always stay at a specific hotel at Dunn Loring Fairfax. Nice hotel, reasonable rates, free parking, and just a short walk to the metro station.

Turned out our DMV doesn’t take debit or credit cards.

Our DMV used to not take them either. The location closest to me recently moved to a bigger area and I guess they added it as part of the expansion. I had no idea how much it was going to cost, so taking the card was very nice.

Well, since I am alone today and tomorrow I have no idea what will be for lunch or dinner. I just know that I won't be cooking anything.

 

[Lynne G]

Hmm, that is funny Keisha. Older one got his Real license at the DMV, he used his credit card to pay when he handed the info to get the Real. I always pay online to renew with my cc. Next year, when my license expires, I will most likely get the Real one. I usually just present my work ID.

Afternoon .... We had some flurries this morning and rain the last couple of days. I stayed up untill 3 last night watching a movie with Brian. I never do that and had to be up early to take kitty to the vet. He had his teeth out earlier and the week and that went great but have noticed the last several weeks him being different. We all thought it was the teeth. I felt a weird feeling and brought him today, they think it might be lymphoma. We should have the results in 2 days then if it is we will start with some imaging. Brian and I refuse to make any discisions on fur babies without all the information. I hope it is early enough where he can get some treatment.

The teens have worked the last several days, so it has been quiter. Brian is working on the house and I am doing little things. We made the beyound burgers last night. I found them at Costco for a good price. They are really amazing for a plant based burger. Tonight I made a turkey pepperoni sauce over pasta, nice and easy. I will stop in Target for groceries when I bring Charlie to work. Liv is having a lot of anxiety at work and doesn't want to go. We are trying to help her through it.

I try to always find a ray of sunshine on the toughest days. It helps to have the SANS family. Thank you for listening.

Charade glad everything worked out with your license. DMV in any state is a pain in the butt!!! Glad you had a nice Mexican dinner with B and enjoyed Avengers.

Pumpkin glad to see you are getting in the swing of things with school and great you have a trip planned to see the grandbaby.

Keisha sorry your quick trip plans to Orlando were a bust. I hope you can find something nice to do. Good luck at the Dermatologist.

Schumi I loved Little House sad and all. I think I watched the whole series a few times. I love beef in the pressure cooker with a red wine!! It is a bathroom cleaning day for me too. I hope you get some nice weather for some walks.

Lynne your homemade pot pie sounds awesome! I do buy them from Costco already done. Oh I love going to tea shops and trying different ones. I am a tea person in the morning. Glad that you didn't have damage and that everyone is safe.

Mac Wow snow, I don't think of snow where you are either. I hope it is getting warmer for you. I hope you had a great weekend!!

Tink so nice of you to check in. I am so sorry about the health issues, I understand how they can throw life a curve ball. Rod Stewart concert sounds awesome. I have loved his music since the 70's. What a great gift!! I hope you feel better soon.

Ky07 Hi and nice to meet you! Sorry things have been tough and I hope they keep getting better real soon!

Disxuni I hope you had a great weekend, and school went well this week. I think this was your test week?

Disneylifepapione, Robo, Sue,Monykalyn and all the other SANS family, I hope everyone has a nice relaxing Sunday night!

 

[keishashadow]

Any others watching Oscar pre shows? I’m a sucker for that stuff.

Hmm, that is funny Keisha. Older one got his Real license at the DMV, he used his credit card to pay when he handed the info to get the Real. I always pay online to renew with my cc. Next year, when my license expires, I will most likely get the Real one. I usually just present my work ID.

Yes, no idea why they cannot process plastic at our local DMV. Makes no sense. They do take money orders of all things. I probably don’t write more than a handful of real checks a year.

Same here re renewing online & auto registration. Know that most can renew their KTN online. Hope I don’t have to go back to one of their offices when it’s my time to renew. assume they take CC or debit since online.

. I never do that and had to be up early to take kitty to the vet. He had his teeth out earlier and the week and that went great but have noticed the last several weeks him being different.

Oh, hugs to you. Hate to think you are worrying so about your fur-baby. Pixie & Mummy dust sent your way!

I try to always find a ray of sunshine on the toughest days. It helps to have the SANS family. Thank you for listening.

It’s apparant you have such a positive, uplifting personality. Feel free to share the good & the bad, we are indeed all ears here.

Keisha sorry your quick trip plans to Orlando were a bust. I hope you can find something nice to do. Good luck at the Dermatologist.

I pulled it off cannot wait. My kids are highly amused we are going there instead of the typical vegas type trip for an adult anniversary/valentines get away.

 

[macraven]

I’m behind here and will read back to ketchup with the posts

Of course I’m watching the Oscar show
I turned it on when I saw keisha mention it

 

[Lynne G]

No Oscar viewing for me. I could care less.

Bobbie, hope the cat is feeling better, and Liv feels better about her job. Hugs, and sometimes the quiet house is a nice place to have. I miss little one at times. But growing up is a good thing for our kids. I always want them to be productive members of society, and capable of being self sufficient. Hoping that will be older one sooner than later.

With that, burgers were for dinner. See, unlike Keisha, my grill is a footstep outside the back door, on our small deck. We use our grill year round, yep even if we have to brush the snow off of the grill cover. And ack, a casualty of the high winds the other day, was a side of our fence blew down. DH realized when he went to the one side of our house. Oops. He did fix it though, as we have extra panels in the garage.

Enjoy this Sunday evenjng.

And oh joy, will be complaining about a rainy Monday tomorrow. Seems rain arrives when Cinderella looses her glass shoe, and the clock strikes twelve midnight. Heavy rain throughout the morning. Sigh. Rainy commute expected tomorrow. Guess fitting, as was a nice 50 degree day, mostly sunny Sunday.

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Texas Roadhouse for dinner, time for a little rum and relax!

It’s not TWD, but it’s something to watch on a Sunday night

Texas Roadhouse for dinner, time for a little rum and relax!

 

[macraven]

Well I got busy and just got the tv on to watch the Oscars!

Ended up not having time to fix dinner so ordered pizza for dinner at 8:15
Left overs will be Monday’s dinner

I saw that Oscar part of best actress which was about 11:10
Winner was a surprise for me

 

[macraven]

I have been reading and didn’t realize it’s now Monday
Good thing I don’t have a job to go to in the morning

Just wait until you all retire
No getting up at 6 am

 

[schumigirl]

Bobbie, hope your cat gets good results......and hope your daughter feels better soon. Anxiety isn‘t fun. I have one family member who suffers from it and she is in her 40’s and still struggles at times. Nice to see you here.......


Keisha.........YAY!!!! You got your weekend away.......fantastic!!! Look forward to hearing where you’re going and any plans you have......so happy for you!!!


mac.....as you know I’m in bed when all the Oscar fun is going on....but I am watching the after show stuff on breakfast tv now....don’t usually put it on every morning.......love the outfits and after show party where the fun starts. Not a fan of the unnecessary political statements......talk about the awards......but apart from that I’m seeing a lot of folks saying it was a dull show this year???
I’m watching George Hamilton talk right now.....he’s so funny and very self deprecating........would love to just sit back and listen to some of the stories these real old stars could tell........

Yes, I love this not working too......retiring at 35 is perfect......lol.....I think I retired 3 times......when we moved away from Scotland when I was 28? Then again at 35, then helped a friend out for a few years and finally decided after that at around 43......work was all behind me......Tom also recommends retiring early!!!


Lynne.....hope your rain and fog isn’t too bad this morning......our weather is better this morning, still windy as heck, but not as bad as yesterday. Possible snow warnings though.......


DLPN.......I’ve never been to a Texas Roadhouse.....is that the one where you throw peanut shells on the floor? I would have a panic attack going in there with the mess!!! I’d be going round with a broom trying to clean up......lol.......honest!! Can’t deal with that type of mess.......but glad you enjoyed the food......I’ve heard they’re really good.




We certainly slept better last night as the winds had died down a lot......still blustery for sure but snow is possible now with the cold.

No big plans today, no idea what’s for dinner yet.......must go and look........

Breakfast soon. Need to go wake DH first. He likes to sleep later than I do......although we are definitely early morning people.....

No bacon this morning.......

Have a great Monday.......

 

[macraven]

No bacon today??

Phooey

 

[schumigirl]

No bacon today??

Phooey

Rice Krispies or scrambled egg white or croissants with honey ham, that’s the choice this morning.........oh I have a couple of avocados too........not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love them.......

Think I’ll have croissants with marmalade....... Keep the avocados for lunch......love them, and they are so good for you!!!

Have a great sleep when you do make it to bed......lol......

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, Good Morning, and why hello to all on this Monday.

I agree with Mac, no bacon? Ha, I just had the Rice Krispies for my breakfast.

Cool and rainy commute. But not too bad traffic, as I left a little bit later than usual. DH was in slow mode, so I had to be too.

With that, heater is on, Keisha did book that anniversary get away, woot!, and why yes, tea cup needs refilling.

Later homies, and yum, Texas Roadhouse food and rum, nice way to enjoy your Sunday night, DisneyLife.

 

[Disxuni]

So, I poofed for a few days, whoops.

School has been rough this week. Technically didn't finish all my work completely from last week. Just two more things. However, I will try to finish it up today. Technically half of the semester work is not set as "due" not until the end of March so that helps. So anything chapter by chapter is by suggestion rather than actually being due, except for tests which is set for a time of when it's opened and then closed. Luckily the test is actually not open the 13th. I just assumed it was last week since last week we were recommended to be covering chapter three.

I hope all of you are well! It seems some people are interested by the Oscars and other are more shrug about it. I personally haven't watched the Oscars in awhile. It was the Anne Hathaway and James Franco hosting and that was... Interesting. I personally never followed any type of reward shows except if rooting for specific films on occasion so I've only watched it a handful of times.

It maybe morning, but mmm, Texas Roadhouse. That sounds good right about now.

Hope you homies had a good weekend and have a good Monday!

 

[macraven]

Glad you are here disxuni

I was about to shoot a flare up in the sky so you would know where we are and find your way back here

I like to watch the award shows and see which celebrities can look as if they never age

Jane Fonda does not look 82
Flawless face, no wrinkles and perfect hair

Haha yup that’s the restaurant, peanuts typically are thrown on the floor more so in the waiting area I’ve noticed at ours, but we actually decided to order to go as we literally only live about 2-3 minutes from the one we have by us, everything was really good, I also noticed the portions for the sides are nearly double compared to eating in......
