Something About Nothing ... #12

@Charade67, that's awesome! Corey made it into the Jr National Honor Society last year as a Freshman, here's to hoping he keeps it up!

25 days, I'm down to 25 days. :jumping3:
 
I’m back. It has been a good news/bad news kind of day. In addition to NHS my daughter has also been nominated for the homecoming court. I think they voted today. I’m not really sure how this works. I never went to homecoming when I was in school. The bad news concerns her birthday party. We were planing on having it on November 18, but found out that day is picture day for her dance studio. We can’t do the 19th because that is a rehearsal day for the dance company. (Several people on her guest list are in the dance company.) We can’t do it the weekend before becasue the facility isn’t available. We can’t do it the weekend after becasue that is Thanksgiving weekend. December is out becasue of rehearsals for the dance Christmas program and our vacation. It looks like we will be postponing her birthday party until January.


Lynne - Congrats on getting most of the fast passes you wanted. School at 7:25? I am sometimes just getting up then. My daughter’s school starts at 8:55. Thanks for the congrats. My phone rings the Doctor Who theme and my text tone is the sound of the TARDIS materializing. That really confuses some people.

Chuckers - Sounds like you had an awesome day. When I was a kid I spend many summer’s days at Six Flags. I haven’t been there in at least 3 decades. Geez, I sound old. Thanks for the congrats. I was in NHS too, but I think it was Junior year for me.

Monykalyn - Ugh. Car maintenance/repairs are the worst. Mine is to the point that it really isn’t worth repairing. I love my car, but I think it is time to replace it.

Pooh - Thanks for the congrats. I wish we had junior NHS here.

Am I the only one here who doesn’t watch WalkingDead?

Well, time for me to get some sleep. I have to be up really early tomorrow to drive to Richmond for some medical testing. Noting serious. Mostly just annoying.
 


Have parts of key west recovered more?
Know you love that place
The upper Keys got hit harder. KW lost lots of trees, a few homes and boats. When we checked into our Inn we were the only travelers. All the other guests were FEMA evacuees. There were some heartbreaking stories but they were glad the tourists were coming back. It was a very different trip this time, but I'm glad we were there to experience strength and bonding of the community.
 
Yeah...cloudy and windy days are perfect days to stay in the bed and read.

I love home made burgers on bun...with cheese of course. Also like most of the regular toppings but nothing too spicy. I don't like sweet potatoes so I won't fight you and K Man over the wedges...LOL.

I hope they are the lushest wedges you've ever experienced. ;)

Lol......they were lovely :D......Kyle isn’t overly keen on sweet potatoes......but he eats them if I make them......didn’t fancy making 3 versions of carbs last night.....

I love the sound of staying in bed for a day reading...........would someone constantly bring me drinks and snacks?Maybe I could then........:scratchin

Mmmmm...sweet potato wedges.....says the one who has NO clue as to what she's going to feed this crew tonight.

Did I mention that it's raining and that I want to be in my bed??

@Chuckers, you have a vacation coming up??? :rotfl:

It’s raining here this morning and heavy.....but I’m up as we”re heading out shopping this morning........but yep, I could have stayed in bed too.......waiting for DS to leave for work soon though........

Just a quick post from me with a shameless mom brag. My daughter was accepted into the National Honor Society!!
I'll be back later tonight with a regular post.

Congrats to your daughter........always room for parental brags on here.........I’ve never heard of it......is it like the gifted and talented society that the clever kids get put in? We were chuffed to bits when Kyle was put in that when he was 13..........but well done to your daughter...........

Do you have any trees in the line of the dish? Hope u got a clear picture.

I followed tink's lead & rewatched the showing of last season's episode. They touted new scenes, um maybe? Nice refresher though. No spoilers but I enjoyed the episode, couple of head scratching moments for me tho

Carole - pulled out some frozen hamburger patties I had portioned out a month or so ago. The mr on afternoon shift after working a double & getting home this am. Figured a quickie meal. Yuck, not sure what went on there but talk about absoutely tasteless results, tossed them. Every now & then the ground beef from the big grocery store is a bit off. May have to go back to buying a side of beef. Not a fan of messing with the odd cuts they toss into the package.

heavy rain starting to roll on thru here-wah. I play a game wherein i attempt to not fire up our boiler until November 1st. May not make it this year if it gets as cold this weekend as forecast. Noticed during drive home on interstate from my mom's medical appt that the leaves are finally starting to change, so late in the season.

Oh that doesn’t sound great!! I’d have tossed them too........yes I use lean steak and mince it down myself for burgers.......you never know what they use at times.......I do buy ground beef at times from the farm butcher we use as I see what he grinds down for us.......yep, gotta be watchful of what goes in to some........

Our heating is on........and has been on almost every day since we got home........you know me......I won’t be cold.......lol.......

So we've been home from Key West for 4 nights. Just getting caught up on sleep. Now I look and see it's only 5 1/2 weeks until we go to Universal! Oy.

Hope you had a fabulous trip.......and not long till your next one!



Yep, rain this morning........it’s chucking it down........will get showered and breakfast when DS leaves for work.......then we’re heaidng into town to buy a new suitcase.......we had around 7??? in the attic aside from the 2 we used last couple of years...... but we had a clear out yesterday.....(dh) and they all went to the local dump site.......so need a new one for Kyle for December........he just asked it’s not purple........lol.......

So hope it dries up a little but most of the stores are inside the mall anyway.

Breakfast is just croissants this morning........

Have a great Tuesday........

Morning, homies! Drying out here today after a wet and soggy Monday. We ended up with over 2 inches of much needed rain in this part of VA.

Took care of the last bit of 'planning' for our November trip last night and booked a room at the airport Embassy Suites in Savannah, GA for the drive down.

@macraven, hope today finds you feeling well.

@schumigirl, that reminds me.....need to buy a suitcase for Corey.

@Squirlz, is tourism starting to come back to the Keys in earnest?

Here's to Tuesday!

It was a dark, and muggy, windy morning..... Yep, this last Tuesday of October. Opened the door and already had a bad hair day. 40 mph winds, with periods of heavy rain. And a thunderstorm or two left over from the rains Keisha had. Just not a nice day. However, it's warm. And for that, it's an iced tea day. Tea is almost ready, so have to get a glass of ice. Yep, that will change though, I can feel the breeze inside, and it's cool. Hot tea by lunch, maybe.

Hope you find a nice piece of luggage for Kyle, Schumi. LOL Purple. I bet yours is.

I don't really watch the Walking Dead much either. Only my older one watches it.

Ahh, the sky is a very dark blue, and the tree is bending and moving all over with this wind. Sun? Where are ya?

Have a good day homies. Hey, it's Tuesday. Eat a taco. Us, kids are asking for Chinese food. That may be what we have. That or pasta and chicken. Will decide later. Tea is ready. Later.
 
Am I the only one here who doesn’t watch WalkingDead?

I've only seen it once... I was forced to... seriously.. stuck in a room with no where to go and they wanted to watch the marathon. Had no desire to watch it again.
 
Happy Tuesday! I wish I had my cat, Claude Von Fang, with me at work today.. there's a sky raisin in my office and he would make short work of it.

What number is:

  • The atomic number of rhenium
  • The age limit for Canadian senators
  • The number of balls in a standard game of Bingo in the United States
  • In Bible, the number of people that left Canaan to go to Egypt and meet with Joseph.

If you guessed

75-number.jpg


Then, not only are you correct, you also know the number of days until my VACATION STARTS!!!!
 
PoohIsHome.........only 25 days for you........wow that's a reason to be excited..........

Charade....that's a shame you have to reschedule your daughters party........aren't kids so busy these days!!! I sound about 186 year old saying that.......


Brightened up lovely this morning.......now a nice day. Sun is shining.........

Got new suitcase for DS.....it`s a dark red one and very light.......we may use that next year too for us......


Going out later to Mercedes Showroom........DS car has been delayed at the Factory in Finland for some unknown reason........so they have another one that was delivered yesterday and they want him to have a look at it. Its not the colour he wanted, but I think it`s nicer ........its shiny black and looks so good in this car.......I don't believe this car is available for sale in America......it`s an A Class AMG line Mercedes, brand spanking new........he already has the same car in a gorgeous grey colour, this one is just more powerful and has a few more toys.......plus we only keep cars three years before we change them, so it was time for a new one for him.........he ordered it in July but there has been a problem with his colour choice I believe.........I hope he likes this one as it could be ready for Saturday......he`ll be so excited to get it finally........fingers crossed!!!

Not much else.....getting on with trip report and caught up with WD last night........so frustrating.....just shoot him now was the yelling in our house!!!!

No taco Tuesday here........eating out for dinner as we`ll be late at showroom as DS doesn't finish work till 5.....so will be after 6 before we get out of there at least.......not starting to cook then.......

Have a great Tuesday............:wave2:
 
Well, I no longer need Claude Von Fang in my office... the sky raisin is dead... in my morning cup of tea...

WOW...an AMG MB...awesome...I couldn't afford the insurance on it. :(

Luckily we don't have personal property taxes in FL so there would be no huge tax bill twice a year like in VA. :thumbsup2

I'll get something like that when I win the lottery. ;)

Yes, Fantasy Fest is in full swing right now and the powerboat races are coming right up. Repainting of the buoy has been completed since we were there.22289806_10155946085858120_6694775577742585074_o.jpg
 
Ha, fly in your cup. I hate when there is a fly in our office Chuckers.

Great picture Squirlz. Glad to hear it will be repainted and fixed. We have a picture of it the week before the hurricane. Sad so many have to rebuild and repair.

Lol.......it is a fabulous motor for a young man!

And he’s taking it........went to see it and he loved it........it is much nicer than the original colour he wanted.......very sleek........so we go Saturday to pick it up all shiny and polished.........he is so excited!

Will send you a picture by email..........:wave2:



Absolutely stuffed now........went out for dinner to celebrate him buying the new car......and it was late by time he finished work.........we all ate well..........now just want to lay down on settee!



On a totally different note........isn’t it funny when people do something you totally predicted they’d do........:rolleyes:
 
@schumigirl Is the AMG MB like an MGB? We had an MGB convertible about 20 years ago.. TINY car.. I loved driving it, but it was kinda scary when you could look UNDER the 18 wheelers next to you on the highway. (I know nothing about cars except how to drive one)
