Something About Nothing ... #12

Hi Macraven :wave2:

Hi Charlie and mom! And hose adorable other babies!

Hope you son is out of he wringer soon @keishashadow!
Sounds like a lovely shopping day Schumi. Getting over to London is on my five year plan lol!

Lynne- yeah soccer, season never ends it seems. Practice cancelled last night due to anticipated bad ice (which didn't happen).

Rain,rain and more rain-at least it's warmer. Chickens were soaked though when I went to shut them in. But only top part of their feathers get wet- nice and warm and dry fluff underneath. Went out after sunset (bedtime) as I had to get eggs and oh man - got some angry chirping about opening door. Was later getting home than anticipated between rainy highways and the home I was in today has annual state inspection survey. Going well but lots of stress. THe home is big and well run-but of course the surveyors have to pick on something-the one who did the kitchen pointed out a bit of dust that had collected on a wire rack that held sanitizing solution (closed) jug in the dish washing room. Please explain how that is a food safety issue :sad2:

? Dinner is a margarita and chips and salsa. Maybe a cookie later and then bed.

DD and DH have spent hours today constructing her "mouse trap car" for Science Olympiad competition Saturday. She'd done everything she could to his point but needed help with wood cutting, which she's reminded DH of for the last two weeks.

Anyone else watching Olympics? I know nothing about skiing or half pipe but it was thrilling yesterday!

It's tax season again. And...I work too much lately. I am planning my October trip and there is little left to plan. So, I've been entering sweepstakes online, mindlessly. Well, I apparently entered a one time entry sweepstakes for an "Ultimate Trip to Jacksonville FL" and I won. So I have convinced DH to take another week off over Memorial Day and the following week for this trip. So I go to Florida twice in 2018. Weird that your whole vacation plan for a year can be turned upside down with one email. We are now exchanging information and so on. Anyone ever stay in Jacksonville? We have three hotels with three different focuses. Jazz festival, Riverfront and St. Augustine. There are some touristy admissions and VIP tickets to the Jazz Festival as well. Oh, and a golf lesson. I don't golf. Should be good for a laugh.

Meanwhile, I am all up for a HHN thread for whoever wants to start one.

macraven · Feb 22, 2018

Lucky Ducky on the win!
Congratulations

I’ve been to st Augustine a few times and enjoyed it a lot

Have cousins in Jacksonville and I could ask them regarding hotels and whatever if you need that type of help

I’m sure we will see an early bird hhn thread pop up soon

I do a “when are you going “
Hhn thread once they announce the official dates

I’ve met up with many for either a short hi and bye meet or spend time doing a house with a new friend

Hope our dates for hhn overlap and can meet you

Oh yes it is, no fancy jeans for me, but a nice sweater. Cool and raining, and more rain. Weather people said no seeing the sun until at least Monday. Joy news, at least that means no ice or snow. 37 out, and will not get much warmer throughout the day. But, TGIF, it is Friday!

YaY! For Agavegirl's win. Was in Jacksonville when my older one was a baby. DH had classes at the base, so I went. Met up with a friend, who's boyfriend at the time, was also going to be there at classes, as she went with too. So, met up with her most of the days, as she had a hotel on the beach, we had a hotel that was not. Funny memory, there was a Hooters, and older one was, I think, around 10 months old. The waitresses loved him, and asked it they could hold him. Well, he was passed around to all the waitresses while my friend and I ate. Lucky boy. LOL So, have no recommendations, but enjoy the winning trip. And VIP passes too. I do like Jazz, so that sounds like a fun trip.

MonyK, wet chickens. Yeah, heard the chickens this morning, but it was raining, so I guess it was my neighbor tending to them. They are so old now, I don't think they have eggs anymore. Yep, rain and more rain for us too, glad to hear your icy weather was not, we still had practice. Seems the rain was not as hard as it had been earlier, and on turf. I stayed in the car. I hate late night week day practices. By the time we got home, it was 10pm. Um, I am ready for bed.

Keisha, hmm, Costco for those noodles. May look for them there. My kids like these rice ball things that I can only find there too. Hope you are back to routine a little tanner, and hope DS's tests show improvements. Sorry to hear he had such a bad accident.

Good Morning and Good Afternoon homies! It's Friday.

Another dreary, rainy day here but supposed to hit 60 degrees

Not as much since away. Did put the NBC sports app on phone to catch up. It’s been an odd Winter Olympics all the way ‘round. Had skiers out last week in dangerous conditions, a shame.

U have smrt chickies? Not to insult ur ‘lil feathery friends, nor sure if a ‘rural’ legend or not, but told most of them will hold their heads back & drown in the rain. Neighbor had a coop of them when i was growing up, don’t remember much other than wanting to strangle the rooster

Congrats!!! How cool is that? Do u have to pay taxes on it? Lol. Sounds like fun, always wanted to see the fort there, etc. DH was stationed there for a bit back in dark ages. Most evil dead fans think of the franchise’s hero Ash who hails from there when it’s mentioned.

We make do with Sams, unfortunately, the nearest costco is 3 exits on turnpike from me

Fantastic win agavegirl!!! Hope you have a fabulous time on the trip.......sounds like you’ll be ready for a break by then.........

Keisha, no sneaky trips down for Macklemore (I must google them) awww.......those flight prices are phenomenal........hope DS MRI scan went well..........

Quiet day today. Had some physio and grocery shopping.........called my niece who isn’t feeling well at all.......flu like symptoms........didn’t do a whole lot more than that.......

Same with tonight.......quiet night in.

agavegirl1 · Feb 23, 2018

Yes, I will have to pay taxes on the estimated value of $3618 unless I can prove it is valued too high. They sent me a W-9 to fill out for tax purposes.

KStarfish82 · Feb 23, 2018

Evening all! Last night at our current hotel and then moving to the Sheraton for two nights before heading home. But thankfully it will only be one month until we return!

THe weather has been amazing here...going to stink when heading back north.

The boys have been great and Charlie has been loving the fresh air. But he is spitting up a lot more...hopefully it’s just from a lot more activity and traveling that he has now been exposed to.

Maybe I’ll catch some of you at the 2 am feeding !

Lynne G · Feb 23, 2018

Hope Charlie’s belly is not upset soon. Maybe all the motion and change. Glad the weather has been nice. Seems like a short trip, but even better, returning a month later. Safe travels Kfish.

Just chilling. Rainy night, and not much on the tube.

Made my own potato chips. Sliced up 3 potatoes and fried in very hot oil. Older one got to them first, and little one and I got less than half. Also made my own bacon and cheese stuffed burgers, with sliced pepper and tomatoes. Easy dinner, and ice cream cones for a snack. Ate my cone with a blanket covering me. It is cool still.

Enjoy your night homies! Fading fast is me.

macraven · Feb 24, 2018

Sounds like a nice dinner Lynne
I just did left overs for mr Mac tonight

I had a Pbj and called it dinner

Ever have one of those days just not hungry for anything but needed to eat something?

Figured a simple sandwich would do fine for me

Love homemade potato chips!

mac......you still up??

I’m up far too early this morning......again.

Looks very frosty outside but sun is up already........not sure of plans for today but I do know bacon will be enjoyed for breakfast.........not sure I can be bothered making pancakes.....DH is so good at them. So will wait till he gets up and drop heavy hints for pancakes........

schumigirl · Feb 24, 2018

Lynne G · Feb 24, 2018

Saturday! Rain and gray, but at least above average. No matter, feels cool and damp to me. Heaviest rain to come later today. Over 2 inches by tomorrow morning. Flood warning issued this morning.

Maybe pancakes today. I have to get more eggs, as we used them up the other day.

DH has to work early today, so been awake since 4:30am. Just chilling. Maybe go to a movie today. Have to see what both kids want to do. Older one is House sitting with dogs, for the week. He is happy. Dogs are senior, so they are couch potatoes most of the day. He enjoys taking care of them and not having to deal with his sister for a week.

I missed your bacon and Tom’s pancakes!

keishashadow · Feb 24, 2018

River is supposed to crest here today, glad I live up on the ridge

. The Mr announced we are visiting Red Lobster today, yea!

DS failed one of his tests this week = a few more rounds on the medical merry-go-round

Work it lol. Now & again I find myself in a medical waiting room, inevitably The Price is Right on the tube. IMO they seriously inflate those values

I am seriously impressed. Do u use a mandolin or a food processor. Tried once, not exactly a success lol. I stink at potato pancakes too for some reason. Think i don’t get the taters dry enough.

On no, i forgot to pick up bacon in my provisioning run. Looks like Raisin Bran is on the menu lol

That’s a good gig for your DS. Way easier on the pooches than going to a kennel too.

schumigirl · Feb 24, 2018

Pancakes were a treat mac!!! Don’t know how he does it.........

But I want to go to Red Lobster with Keisha tonight..........we love it there! Which seems to amuse some people no end........ :confused3

Janet, I use a mandolin for potato chips......and yes, making potato rosti’s is hard work to get rid of all the liquid......another of DH talents........ :thumbsup2

Now I’m getting peckish.........I need a snack!

This really is something about nothing........my hair.

It’s driving me nuts......not getting it done for another week and half.......and it really needs doing now!! I like the length, but highlights are badly needing to be done! May have to make an earlier appointment......but, I do like it done just before we go........I’m out of synch with appointments.

Off to mooch out a snack...........

Lynne G · Feb 24, 2018

Keisha, hope DS finds the medical help that gets the best results. And yes, a slicer. Electric one too, as I do not mind slicing, but it does a better job with even sized slices more than me, and thinner too. I value my finger tips too much.

Haircut on Tuesday. I am with you Schumi. Seems feel like it should have been last week, but is one I had scheduled. Ready for it. And, I too, try to schedule so right before I go away. Feel better when freshly done for vacation.

With that, the house is only girls. Help? LOL

Feels happily like a Saturday. Guess little one wants lunch out. May humor her. She is waiting until after breakfast hours.

Later homies.

Robo56 · Feb 25, 2018

Morning everyone :wave:

.

Usually have my coffee by now, but going to wait till we leave for Orlando this morning and pick up some Starbucks.

Older sister called me yesterday and told me she had a birthday present on my email for me. Birthday not for a couple of days, but she wanted me to check my email. She sent me a Starbucks gift card. Was so sweet of her. I always keep my App on the phone loaded for my Starbucks treats. I really like Visiting the Starbucks at Portofino.

Agavegirl1 congratulations on the win

Schumigirl my hair color doesn’t seem to last as long as it use to either. With my hair being dark brown the gray the roots are very noticeable when they begin to peek through......LOL.......like Pepe le pew.....

Keisha I saw on the news this morning there is flooding in Louisville, Ky and Missouri too.

We have two Sandhill cranes that have been coming in my back yard and pulling out my grass plugs and throwing them up in the air........I chased them away.......and they went next door and started pulling out my neighbors newly laid sod and throwing it up in the air......he came over and said those birds are pulling out my sod again......I told him I chased them out of my yard.......and we both started laughing......they like the newly dug up earth to go after the worms. They are very tame and I walked right up to them.
