Something About Nothing ... #12

[schumigirl]

Well, it’s Friday.........

I’d have no clue what day of the week it was if it wasn’t for DS going to work.......

Always get up with him.........

Hopefully another hot day today........need to go buy a new kettle.......very exciting. Electric kettles are an essential item in British Kitchens. So, ours went funny yesterday, so will replace it today.

Not much else planned.........will be avoiding football over the weekend........although there is a Grand Prix on, British one though, which is our least favourite race of the year along with Monaco. Monaco can be exciting now and again, but it’s more the “trophy” race for us.......so many better races on the calendar.

But, it’s still Friday.........and still love the weekend coming around even though we have left the world of working............

Have a good one...........

When I worked, Friday’s were the best day of the week

Now everyday is a Friday for me


Schumi is the bacon ready yet?

Almost........I’m a bit early this morning..........

Tom still sleeping, Kyle has already left for early meetings at work.......so I’m dreaming of bacon and pancakes.......will make a racket to waken him maybe.........

I am hungry!

Cup of tea to keep me going till a respectable breakfast time......too early for me right now.....

Kids are slackers. Good thing a mom alarm still works. Yeah, home for me today. Yay!



Nice, loud thunderstorm came past around 6:30am, more to come early afternoon. Still muggy out, even with the recent rain.



Why yes it is, shorts still being worn.

Have a great Friday, all. If you want pancakes and bacon, Schumi’s kitchen is open.

Time for tea, so I will join ya Schumi.

Good morning

Woke up early this morning and couldn't get back to sleep after being up late last night. Danielle and I went to our local American Legion for bingo and had a fun night...she won once, I lost but we had a good time.

We're going to see the new Ant man movie and I haven't seen the first one...guess I'll watch it this morning instead of doing anything productive.

Bacon and pancakes sound delicious...put on the coffee for mac and me Carole

Hey look, a morning post from me. Just woke up a little while ago. Only a few things on the agenda today. First I need to do something about my gray hair. After lunch I will take B to a doctor appointment. SHe doesn’t want to go to the pediatrician anymore, so I’m going to take her to the nurse practitioner that I see. Later this afternoon I am going to pick up my new glasses.

Lynne - Love the Singin’ in the Rain minion. That’s my favorite movie.

Tink - We want to see the new Ant Man movie too, just don’t know when we will get a chance. Sometime next year before the Infinity War part 2 comes out I want to have a Marvel movie marathon.

 

[schumigirl]

Yep.....kitchen open all day......bacon and pancakes all round for those who want them.............have switched the Aga off though as it keeps the kitchen too warm.......that’s why we have another normal double oven..........

Tink.......coffee machine is on the go too.......always!! I liked the Antman movie, so will definitely watch the new one too.....not usually my kind of movie but it was funny. I love bingo!!!!

Charade grey hair isn’t fun! Hope you get it done and you’re happy with it! My hair appointment is Tuesday morning.......looking forward to that as roots don’t look good right now.........

Keisha.........



Been another scorcher here........usually when the USA has a heatwave, we are shivering over here.......so it’s nice so many of us all in the same boat.......although talking to family in NY they win with the heat stakes!! And friends in Florida are melting...........

Bought new kettle today........took it back straight away as it had a funny plastic smell......we are used to stainless steel inside, so bought another one. It’s fine. The one I really want is out of stock, so will get it when it’s back in stock and use this one as a spare.

Ordered a sarong for pool time. I really don’t have the shape for one, but hey.....better to be covered up!

And on a similar vein........don’t you just hate when someone very slim harps on about how fat they are.......what do you say to that!!! Don’t humour her anymore..........

Have a great Friday..........

Sitting here scrolling the tablet & drinking coffee while my kids have a 30 minute “clean your rooms & bathrooms” assignment. It’s good to be the Queen! LOL

Heading to a friend’s house in a bit for swimming (kids) and cocktails (mom’s) before the afternoon thunderstorms run us indoors. I honestly love Summer & am one of those weird moms that really enjoy having lazy days with the kids and I get very sad when they have to go back to school.

Charade67, how old is B if you don’t mind me asking? My oldest is 10 1/2 and is already giving me eye rolls about practically everything “kid-ish” now!

 

[keishashadow]

Epcotazoo on4th heavy storms we waited out in FW FP area. Whee. Nice to walk back toBW

I was one of those mums too........loved when the kids were off school........our time was filled easily and even if there was nothing to do some days, Kyle was so easy to amuse........yep, loved when they were off!

Enjoy yourself later.......sounds like fun.........

Hey!!!!

Glad you dropped by......was thinking of you earlier.........still haven’t sent you some of the Scotland pics........I’ll wait till you get home!!!

Sounds like you’re having a fabulous time......and GD looking cool as always ...........

Charade grey hair isn’t fun! Hope you get it done and you’re happy with it! My hair appointment is Tuesday morning.......looking forward to that as roots don’t look good right now........

I’m cheap and do the color myself. It usually turns out prettty good. My natural hair color is dark brown, so the roots are always very obvious.

B is 17. She will be 18 in November. Her pediatrician will see them up to age 21 I think, but she is ready to move on. Thankfully she rarely ever gets sick. She never even had any ear infections as a baby/toddler.

This is good to hear. I can’t wait to get back there and see it for myself. It will probably be a few years though.

Oh Tgrgrl, my little one will be 17 next month, and eye roll started around 8. Fresh mouth started not much after that. However, she is no match for her DB, 4 years older than her. They just annoy each other. I too like the summer. No soccer for a few more weeks, and lazy nights. Both kids went to a summer day camp, now they are working at it. No lunch packing for 8 weeks is nice, too.

Ah, got little one’s senior pictures. So many to look over. Her favorite is maybe mine too. I have to keep looking at them and then order. So expensive, but I guess senior year just starts the money train on a more expensive line, college.

Woot! Live report from Keisha. Such a cutie in those shades.

Will be watching Ant Man tomorrow morning. Little one had to work last night and tonight, so had to pick a morning time. Hope you enjoy it, Tink and Charade.

Now what for lunch? Chicken nuggets, soup and salad, taco, burger or Chinese? Hmm, eggs and toast with tea for breakfast. Watching World Cup, but ready to go out before the next line of storms come across.

Little one must have had her phone too close to her bed. All our phones, at 6:45am today, beeped very loud announcing flooding watch today. I knew she was up, as I heard some cursing almost as loud.

So stay cool, all those homies still enjoying this tropical weather. That includes Schumi.

Yay! So much to look forward too! I have been told ( as the mom of 2 girls) that raising girls is fun until about age 13 and then the nightmare begins & boys are just the opposite.

Yay, pictures! Decisions, decisions. Our problem is that each one of us picked a different favorite. I don’t need to buy a lot of pictures since we don’t have many relatives to send to. There was a black and white photo that dh really likes, so what I will probably do is have Bs favorite as theyearbook photo, my favorite as the one purchase inthe package, and add on one of the b&w for dh.

Happy TGIF!! Heat wave has subsided- 78 and sunny with low humidity today!

I guess with two boys I missed the teenage eye roll! and all the sharing and talking with girls! My boys didn't (and still don't ) talk much! Kyle's fiancee, Erin, has changed all that!! Nice to have a girl around!!

Back to work!

 

[macraven]

I guess I had it good raising 4 sons
Never had issues with them or a foul word out of their mouth to me

But then when they muttered when I asked “what did you say”, their reply was “nothing”

I thought raising sons were easy

Saw the Keisha bopped in and happy to see her pics and updates

Charade best me out of bed this morning
Asleep at 4 am and up at 8:30

Did wake up at 8 due to phone calls but caught a few more winks after I turned my phone off

Going to be a good day
Not 95 so that anything less will be great

Now I need to go back and reread on who else had posted

Hey we made it to page 1000

 

[schumigirl]

Charade hope your hair turns out........I’m not brave enough to do my own hair........but I do love the salon experience I have to say. Our salon is lovely and the girl who does my hair knows exactly what I like........and they give fabulous head massages too!!!

mac.......yep, Kyle was an easy teenager.......no issues at all with him.......always an open book and always happy to chat......we were never the enemy the way some parents seem to become! I’d hate that........and as for cursing!! He has never uttered a real curse word in front of me, his dad nor anyone else in the family......and has always said he never will........I’m glad of that as I hate cursing for no reason.

Glad you got back to sleep this morning Mac.........I stayed up after Kyle left at 6.30.......now I could snooze......lol.......

Having a small pink gin and fizzy lemonade..........it is Friday and almost 5pm!!!

Yep Vicki.......made it to 1000 pages........we can chat some can’t we!!!

 

[macraven]

Hey we made it to page 1000

I’ll make a new episode for us sometime this weekend

Usually do that when we hit 4 digits in a thread

Start thinking of which room you want to claim when I put the new house together
