Found out latte is a flavor coffee

I’m more of a basic person with coffee
Drink basic black with no flavorings added

same way with tea

I know boring.....lol

 

[Tygerlilly]

Made DF his favorite dinner for his birthday tonight: steak on the grill, mashed potatoes and green beans. And homemade cake. I'm so full right now.

Now I'm ready for bed. At 8pm. Living the wild life these days.

 

[Charade67]

Finally a chance to sit down and do a regular post. Today has been busy - work, then taking B to the university for the weekend, and getting her dress to the school for the prom dress resale. At the drop off for the sale I saw that one of the parent volunteers was a client from work. I wasn’t going to say anything, but she saw me, said hi, and then announced to everyone in the room that I worked for her therapist. Oh well, not a HIPAA violation if she is the one to say something.

I buy lots of handbags- use them for a few months then decide I dont like them so they go back in the closet. Im always looking for the Goldilocks of bags (not too big, not too small, not too heavy, right kind of strap- I have yet to find it, but I've tried alot!

I have a list of requirements for my bags. It’s difficult to find a bag that fulfills all of them

Yuk! The stress with the bill sounds as bad as having the dental work!

Thankfully the dental work wasn’t mine.I haven’t had anything but a routine cleaning and x-rays for the past couple of decades.

Woke up to a double surprise: DF home from work after only being there 3 hours, and the news that he got a deer this morning...with the front of my car. Luckily, he is fine and there's really not much damage. Just kind of an inconvenient fix that needs made, which he thinks he can do himself.

Yikes. Glad to hear that he is okay.

Could be provider is no longer ‘participating’ in ur ins plan.

No, she is still a participating provider. My guess is that they have someone new doing the billing.

And don’t get me started on purses...

Or shoes...

Or clothes

I am awful when it comes to shoe shopping. I have wide feet, so it can be difficult to find good, comfortable shoes. I also hate high heels and flip flops. I have a pair of slip on Sketchers that I love, but they are starting to come apart.

I’ve never been to a Panera Bread before........everyone says they’re lovely........I need to check out the menu as I think Tom would enjoy it if it has sandwiches and things like that........

I usually like Panera, but we have had some issues with our local one. They are just starting to regain our trust.

Today is DH birthday!

Happy birthday to him.

Charade it’s amazing how hard finding that perfect wallet is. So many cards. So I look for one with a lot of slots. The one I have now I found at Costco and it’s RDIF proof! When I want to go light I take the cards I’ll need and put them in a small pouch. I have several from Dooney that zip and one from lesportsac. Perfect for the parks too!
I hope you sort out that dental bill. Something sounds fishy!

I do the same with a small pouch if I only need a few cards. I have also been known to put a couple of cards and my ID into my camera bag and not carry any other bag with me.

I saw the Dis announcement, so disappointed I’ll miss it. We go home May 9.

I told my husband about the coaster and he said that we just have to go back to Universal. I would love to, but it might be awhile.

I just dozed off while writing this post. Time to go to bed.

You can get regular Latte, no flavour….but it is milky, that's why I like them. I guess with you drinking black coffee it won`t be up there in your favourites…….I have had a Toffee caramel latte, but it was too sweet for me. Tom usually adds the caramel syrup to his coffee in the Club Lounge, but not for me...….



Friday again...……

Tom has decided he needs a new shirt for the wedding next weekend.....so, men`s clothes shopping this morning......joy. Still, he`s usually easy to shop for and walks in an picks the first one he sees...…

Apparently the weather is going to be gorgeous this weekend, of course believe it when I see it.....but we got rid of our gas grill last year.....so no grilling outside this weekend unless we can see one today.....may take a rumble through the garden centre close by and see if they have them in yet....I`m almost sure they will have as soon as the Christmas decorations were all away...…..

Have a great Friday guys and gals...…...

 

[Lynne G]

Friday it is!

. Yep! A Friday! Happy, and even though it was a shorter week, I am so happy it's a Friday. The birds are chirping, another nippy, but very nice day. Almost 10 degrees warmer start than yesterday. Rainy week-end in store, but hey, a week-end is a week-end. And a burst of more like Spring temps. 60's on Sunday. And, as the hockey players, scheduled to play outside this week-end, responded, when weather lady said it may have some rain during the game: "Don't care." Nope, a little rain with warmer temps. Who'd da think? No matter, by Monday, more seasonable, clear, blue skies and freeze your butt temps. Weather lady said the start of next week will be a quiet period. That's fine with me. The closer we get to Spring, the less the snow stays around. Yeah, I know, we've had snow on Easter before.

Birthday dudes sounded like they had good birthdays. Steak, cake. Yay!

With that, tea is needed. Schumi is a shopping, not her favorite places, but hey, once DH finds a shirt, lunch out may find you at other stores, you are interested in. Grill shopping may be in there too, as an expected gorgeous week-end, should include a grilled meal. See, more shopping Schumi.


I'm boring too Mac. Most of the time, I do not put much in my coffee, and I always have my tea plain.

So, enjoy this double digit, repeated number 2, Friday, homies. And eat a sweet potato.

 

[Robo56]

Morning Schumi, Lynne and rest of Sans family who are still sleeping or on your way to work

LOL.....was looking at the funny donut and blue jean cartoon while eating a cinnamon roll.

Nephew arrived and we had a nice dinner prepared for him. The fellas were watching Marvel’s the Punisher and some show that has recreation of broad sword fighting after dinner. Was not my cup of tea so went and read some of my Outlander book.

Nephew wanted the recipes for my Strawberry Daiquiris and Pineapple Pina Colada’s. So showed him how to make them. The guys finished off the pitcher of daiquiris.

They are still sleeping.....I always get up early so trying to be quiet.

Lynne hoping you are continuing to feel better.

Mac coffee is good no matter how it is for sure.....I have coffee on and I have bacon and cinnamon rolls.....come on over everyone is invited.

It’s supposed to be 85 here today.....wish I could send some of this warm weather to all the Sans family who need it.

Was looking at the food for Mardi Gras. The Bayou Boil meal looks like a deal.....Universal is really upping their game...you get the meal, parade viewing, dessert, wine etc.....will be nice to get see how this rolls.

Have a happy Friday everyone.

 

[bobbie68]

everyone I have been away awhile just life getting in the way ...Anyway I don't think I can catch up so I am going to try and follow from here on, and not let life get in the way so much.

Our weather was warmer yesterday after our little snow storm. The teens only had a delay. Right now they are scheduled to get out on time. We have done real good this year with snow days.

Liv has had her hours cut at work and hoping they pick up in March. I told her this could happen and to take hours when they are there, but she didn't listen and now is worried about her stuff she wants. Of course we will help her but I am not letting her know that just yet

I keep thinking about the trip in June and can't wait. I have added the elite package to my DC dolphin swim day. We really liked the cabana and I want Liv to get the little things that go with it. It was a hard choice after the massive vet bills the last two weeks, but I found some money. You only graduate high school once and I want it to be special

This weekend we are going to try and get some work done in the house, I need to watch more Hoarders to get motivated.

I am off this morning to catch up on errands and the house. I hope everyone stays warm or cool, and has a safe start to the weekend

 

[tink1957]

Good morning

Just popping in to say hi before work.

The dogs were back night before last and awakened me at 4 am barking.. they had managed to lock themselves in again and this time they broke my hot water pipe trying to escape. Had to call my ex to fix it and I dread seeing the water bill.

You better believe I locked the door last night.

Have a great day everyone

 

[Lynne G]

So nice of you Bobbie. We have done the Elite package a few times. Really enjoy having a private cabana. Still having a hard time seeing mine graduate. She's ready to go to college, and almost has said yes. Even though local, we did agree to let her room at least the first year. So expensive, but as my niece who went there as a local, and stayed all 4 years on campus, said, it's the night life part you get when staying in the dorms. Well, as you put it that way.,... LOL I get what she is saying, so we are making it work.

Tink, ugh. You'd think who ever owns those dogs should be fined for that. Glad you can lock it. Hope work goes quick, and you get some good sleeping this week-end.

Robbie, Good Morning! So nice to host your nephew. Thanks for the breakfast offer. I'd certainly come if I could. 85. Yes, please.

 

[pattyw]

Nephew from Atlanta is coming to visit for a few days. He will be here this afternoon about 4. I got up this morning early and got the guest bedroom and bathroom ready. I baked cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow, brownies, made tuna fish salad, strawberry daiquiris are in the freezer and a meatloaf for dinner tonight. He is a bachelor so I try to make sure he gets some good meals while he is here.

That's so nice of you! He will love all the pampering!

I think we all are ready for some nice weather.

Yes!

I’m more of a basic person with coffee

Nothing wrong with that, Mac! But let's live on the edge and have a latte together! we'll get a basic one!

Now I'm ready for bed. At 8pm. Living the wild life these days.

Nothing wrong with catching up on some sleep!

Apparently the weather is going to be gorgeous this weekend,

Enjoy!!

Happy, and even though it was a shorter week, I am so happy it's a Friday.

Same here! I'm tired like it was a full work week!

This weekend we are going to try and get some work done in the house, I need to watch more Hoarders to get motivated.

Yep- we started our spring cleaning early! The bad weather has motivated us to start cleaning out the junk!

You better believe I locked the door last night.

So sorry to hear about the water pipes! I hope the owners will be more responsible and keep them under control!


Happy TGIF!! It's a beautiful day here (for us Buffalonians) It's sunny, 37 degrees, light wind! Feels great!! But.... it won't last! Tomorrow night strong winds- with gusts up to 70 mph- arrive and bring rain. Next week, back to the 20's. Oh well! I'm going to enjoy the sun today!

 

[macraven]

Happy Friday homies!
Almost weekend time

Tink, hope the costs to the hot water is not high

It is always a pain to run into an expense on your budget

 

[Sue M]

Good morning! As predicted snow is here, again. And it’s wet snow. Good day to hunker down at home. Brother-in-law coming tomorrow for his usual Saturday night dinner. DH picked up a nice baron of beef roast at the butchers.

You can get regular Latte, no flavour….but it is milky, that's why I like them. I guess with you drinking black coffee it won`t be up there in your favourites…….I have had a Toffee caramel latte, but it was too sweet for me.

I find the flavoured lattes too sweet too, so I order half sweet. Have fun shopping! And grill hunting. We wouldn’t be without one!

Tink, that’s awful about hot water pipe. I think I’d be reporting the dogs to bylaws or someone. For their own safety as well as the property damage they do. Poor things. So cruel of people to leave these dogs out in winter.

Robo, sounds like nephew is having a great visit! 85 sounds good to me!

Bobbie the Dolphin swim sounds great! Kids! They never listen until they see the consequences of their decisions!

Pattyw enjoy the break in your weather today!

 

[keishashadow]

TGIF snow is melting, next two days will be warm. Just found out DS is scheduled to work both days, ergo i get to greet the dawn on my “off” days. Actually, i will beat it but who’s counting lol

First time ever the ATM machine ate my bank card this am. I’d love to be the person viewing the security tapes. Had to do the walk of shame to retrieve said cards this am. At least they offered me coffee

I just got an email about the new HP rollercoaster. Unfortunately it won’t be opening until June.

6/13 but they will likely have soft openings for at least 2 weeks if no longer.

I’m hoping the height requirement indeed falls in what they termed “family friendly”

Found out latte is a flavor coffee

I’m more of a basic person with coffee
Drink basic black with no flavorings added

same way with tea

I know boring.....lol

I’d say classic

You’d probably want to order an Americano - unfiltered/pressed espresso run thru with water to fill a regular sized cup. The flavor is distinctly different from regular coffee

Most that enjoy get at least an extra shot of espresso, if not more.

I get non flavoured latte. Except at Christmas then I’ll get gingerbread latte!

I just started drinking flavored creamer in my coffee a year or so ago, first tasting it when i offered it to guests. Less calories than whole milk that i used.

Nom, if u squint can pretend u r eating a cookie or candy lol

Jr was a starbucks barista for years in HS & college.

Cappucinos are a 1:1:1 of coffee, milk & foam (warmed milk’s foam), which is held back & put on top

Lattes are version of above, if made properly 1:1 of milk & foam, then they pour just a bit of foam over a spoon into the cup.

You can always ask for a shot of flavor or to have it held. Same as to give half portion of milk vs a whole.

I’m basic, order Pikes Place with shot of Carmel and whipped cream which works out to less $ hehe but i make it up in tip

Cheers

Morning Schumi, Lynne and rest of Sans family who are still sleeping or on your way to work

Yikes - Those are some rambunctious pups!

 

[Tygerlilly]

Girls woke up early. We all had birthday cake for breakfast. Lol. Leftovers for lunch today and ordering a pizza for the girls and my mom for dinner because it's finally date night!!! We're pretty excited! And I just remembered we had a buy on buffet, get one free offer, so yay for savings there! Can't wait to get my grub on.

Got the house cleaned really good already this morning and tomorrow I'll be cleaning carpets.

Have a good Friday y'all!!

 

[Sue M]

Keishashadow great tutorial on coffee! I’ve wondered what the dif is between latte and cappuccino!

 

[Charade67]

A dreary, wet day for running errands. This morning I took dh’s car to the dealership for his state inspection. Then I went by the dental office to straighten out my bill. The woman I talked to was very confused. Thankfully another woman in the office understood better and was able to help clear things up. It was as I had suspected, they hadn’t applied the write off for the difference between what they charged and what their contracted rate with the insurance company was. I was also told that they had a new company doing their billing. I happily paid the $23 that I owed instead of the $70 I was originally billed.
This afternoon I am meeting dh at the university. We are going to meet with financial aid to go over a few things.

Tom has decided he needs a new shirt for the wedding next weekend.....so, men`s clothes shopping this morning......joy. Still, he`s usually easy to shop for and walks in an picks the first one he sees...…

Have fun shoppping. I hate shopping with dh. If you will pardon the expression, he shops like a girl. He will look at everything, try on several things, and even go back and look again at the stuff he’s already looked at. I’m more of a go in, get what I need, and leave person.

It’s supposed to be 85 here today.....wish I could send some of this warm weather to all the Sans family who need it.

I would love some warm weather right now. It’s supposed to get up to 65 on Sunday, which will be nice, but temps will start dropping again next week.

Liv has had her hours cut at work and hoping they pick up in March. I told her this could happen and to take hours when they are there, but she didn't listen and now is worried about her stuff she wants. Of course we will help her but I am not letting her know that just yet

Hopefully they will increase again soon. B is thinking about getting a job at the university library. She has sort of a pre-interview with someone today.

The dogs were back night before last and awakened me at 4 am barking.. they had managed to lock themselves in again and this time they broke my hot water pipe trying to escape. Had to call my ex to fix it and I dread seeing the water bill.

Oh no. I hope the expense isn’t too bad.

Still having a hard time seeing mine graduate. She's ready to go to college, and almost has said yes. Even though local, we did agree to let her room at least the first year. So expensive, but as my niece who went there as a local, and stayed all 4 years on campus, said, it's the night life part you get when staying in the dorms. Well, as you put it that way.,... LOL I get what she is saying, so we are making it work.

We are in a similar boat. We want B to live on campus, but the price of the dorms. Yikes! Yesterday the school sent us graduation information. I can’t believe it will be here in just a few month.

6/13 but they will likely have soft openings for at least 2 weeks if no longer.

Unfortunately I will be there in April. Oh well, something to look forward to for a future trip.

Girls woke up early. We all had birthday cake for breakfast. Lol.

That sounds good. Sure beats the cottage chees and fruit that I had this morning.

Off to do some laundry before I head back to the university.
