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

[schumigirl]

Been busy since the time I got up this morning.
Now I am reading back in the thread to what I have missed today.

Not a bad summer day for me.
High will only hit 90 and rest of the week rain will bring temps down to high 80’s

I call that progress

That sounds good to me!!!!

Well color me excited - I will be heading to Disney and Universal in two weeks! My friend and I were supposed to be at Disneyland right now, but with no opening in sight out there we decided to book WDW and UOR instead! I'm so thrilled to be heading "home" to Florida! We are both in fortunate situations that we live in states that do not require quarantine with travel, and we both work from home and only have hubbies to worry about so it takes a lot of the stress with traveling out of the equation.

i’m Going with coloring you Lime Green as a nod to the ‘old skool’ disney group

Hope you have a wonderful (split) trip! Make sure to tell us all the gory details, please. It’s akin to breathing air for most of us lol

Good morning SANS fam!

Well color me excited - I will be heading to Disney and Universal in two weeks! My friend and I were supposed to be at Disneyland right now, but with no opening in sight out there we decided to book WDW and UOR instead! I'm so thrilled to be heading "home" to Florida! We are both in fortunate situations that we live in states that do not require quarantine with travel, and we both work from home and only have hubbies to worry about so it takes a lot of the stress with traveling out of the equation.

It will be nice to hit the parks before my Sept trip. My SIL had to change dates so we are still deciding on that one - will likely be at the end of Sept so I will also need to watch out for @keishashadow jumping out of corners. I'm a huge scaredy cat so it will be fun for her to see me jump higher than humanly possibly and give a nice big yelp.

Time to make some new tanks for the parks! I think I will make a Baby Yoda one, a good ol' classic mickey, and then for Universal I'm thinking of doing a Dumbledore quote. I still love when he said a few words before the feast: Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak. So I'm thinking that could be a fun shirt. Not sure if a lot of people will get it but it will make me chuckle when I look in the mirror so what the heck, right?

Looks like everyone has some very different weather today! Will be perfect in my neck of the woods - 81 and sunny. Went for a run this morning and it was still cloudy so that helped keep me going a little.

Sweet corn is finally ready around here! So dinner will be pork chops and corn on the cob. Nothing fancy but a few ears of sweet corn slathered in butter will be perfection I'm thinking.

Hello to Mac, Keisha, Lynne, Schumi, Disneylife, Jump00, realfood, monyk, mcrose, charade, and everyone else out there that I know I'm forgetting.

Time to get some Iced coffee. Happy Monday all!

Thanks! Yes I will give you all the details! I'm staying at the Swan so I'm also quite excited for some pool time. The poor Universal folks will have to suffer through the first part of my trip details.

Hello All! Happy Monday! Our weekend was nice. We didn't really do much other than mulch the flower beds. DH went to get another truckload today to finish it off. It looks so much better. Although, I did not plant the normal amount of annuals I usually do. The home improvement stores were always mobbed since they were the only stores open at the beginning of the COVID shutdown and I just did not have it in me to fight the Corona crowds for flowers. Now toilet paper and paper towels are a different story. Learned that lesson and have quite the stash put away.

It is hot again today. It wasn't too bad over the weekend but it is back up to 97 today. Heat index is 106. Same tomorrow and then a break. Hi 80s the rest of the week.

More COVID cases in our state. Our governor is having a press conference tomorrow. My guess is he will roll us back to phase 1 or 2.

I am sorry to read about HHN being cancelled. I figured when WDW cancelled their event UOR would soon follow. On the bright side, it will give them a whole extra year to plan. I bet next year's HHN will be great.

Not sure about dinner. I try to cook out on the grill on hot days like this so that I don't heat up kitchen. I have some sirloin I may throw on the grill or maybe just do BLTs.

Have a great evening!

I really hope it eases up in your area soon. Any idea what is causing the increase?

Thanks. I hope so too. No idea why the numbers are going up. I guess it is just people hanging out in groups and not social distancing in bars, social gatherings, etc.

Well, we did manage to get our cottage booked last night......not in September though, going first week in October now. We found a place we both liked, right in the centre of a little town....with off street parking which is Tom`s only request. It`s quite hard in these small places to have something so central with parking that isn`t a walk away.

Wonderful news! I hope you have a terrific time.

Even with the cancellation of hhn, I’m still going to UO.

Hanging in the parks will be fine for me
And hope it will not have crowds.

so looking forward to doing hagrids with out long waits!
and will enjoy eating all my meals out.

Yay Mac!! Low crowds, no line at Hagrid and every meal out. Now that sounds like a nice vacation!

Also, as of today, lost 20 lbs so far on my journey to losing weight. I have many more to go, but proud of the progress I made.

Wow, 20lbs! That is awesome. Congratulations!!


@jump00 - I am a little late but Welcome to SANS!!!

You win the hottest temperature of the day cam!!!!!!

Food sounds good....and yes anything rather than heating up the kitchen in such a hot day......

Thanks, we`re so looking forward to a trip away. But, not good to hear your area may go backwards. That`s not what anyone wants to hear from anywhere.

Have a great evening to you too cam.....

 

[mckennarose]

Whew, there's a lot to catch up on!

Today did not start well for us, actually it started last night. I don't think I posted before but we have ongoing issues with our neighbors, who are renters. Today started with a call to the police about them shining a laser into our security cameras several times during the night when we saw it on the footage today. sigh..... They are truly awful people and were blasting their music again yesterday and two people called the police on them. I know because the police told me today. We did not call as we were leaving the house with the dogs, but they must've assumed it was us and decided to mess with our cameras. There's no damage, and we have enough evidence for a civil case, plus the city is fining the landlord for violations, and the police have cited them with a $500 fine. Ugh! I'm just praying they move. The police are now patrolling on my street several times per day and night.

I did a lot of gardening yesterday and I'm convinced of two things. 1. every spider in my city must spawn in the back of my yard, and 2. I question why we planted hostas since they multiply like crazy. I love them as a nice border/filler plant, but boy are they a pain to thin out!

It works. Like ivyrest better but haven’t seen in stores for ages

Ohh, I haven't seen that one before. The Tecnu works well for me and I use it a lot.

growing up we would get the spot doused in gasoline How did we survive lol

I know, right?! LOL!

Thanks. As good as he’s going to get

He's on the mend?

Wait, u made it? That’s crazy nice!

I did, thank you! I took pics of the process so I could remember how to do it. One of my dd's already wants one, so it might be a good gift for her.

Never got the taste for iced coffee....but not the biggest coffee drinker over here anyway, and limited in America now anyway

I live for coffee! Iced, hot, strong.. all good for me.

mrose...they are fabulous!!!

You are so talented.....they really could be from the movies.....JK Rowling would be proud!!! Book covers too look lovely.

Thank you! I'm getting excited for Fall and Halloween!

Just enjoyed our steak pie......

Sounds delicious!

Pictures?

I will find a cute one with both together.

Looks great!

Thank you!

@mckennarose wow those are amazing pieces of work. So creative. Yes pics of dogs when available!

Thank you! I will try to find a cute pic of both of them together. I don't keep personal pics online for too long, but I will find a nice one.

No crowds for baseball either.

Did you see the Yankees at Phillies postponed due to covid? Ugh! My one dd's boyfriend is a huge Phillies fan and super upset.

Awesome craft result McK.

Thank you!

Yeah, certainly will be warmer than Mac tomorrow. 97 the high. Yeah, with steamy humidity raising the temp to a nice sweaty 101.

Soooo hot today Lynne! You're always a few degrees higher down there. Right now my phone says 91 but my car said 95 earlier when I had to run out. I hope it does rain tomorrow to cool off a little. My plants are wilting!

Who is watching baseball tonight?
I’m glad it is back on tv.

I haven't been watching. My dad is super excited though. He loves baseball and we try to take him to games in the summer. I know he misses it.
I'm holding out for hockey playoffs this week! So excited to finally have it back.

I went into safety mode and told her to carefully leave the kitchen since she didn't have any shoes on.

Oh yikes! Glad she's ok.

The Bond movies are one of the series our grandson studies and remembers everything of.

We used to love watching James Bond too. There's a channel on our tv package that plays the movies 24/7 that we sometimes put on.
I finally watched Knives Out and it was crazy to hear James Bond with a Southern accent!

Psycho is a good movie....one you can watch over and just enjoy it.

You are braver than I!

This is amazing!!!! Wow

Thank you!

Jonesing for our tomatoes to ripen to be able to make fresh, uncooked sauce

Me too. So far I've had only three ripe ones; two Jet Stars and one Roma. I'm loaded with the Romas but they're still green.

Leftovers defrosting for later - trying to run the freezer down and re-stock with fresh.

We're doing the same with clearing the deep freeze. I'm getting ready to order another meat package soon. Meat prices are going up and down still.

Off for my morning walk and it’s already 85 degrees (10:50 am). Loving this warm weather..........closest thing “to Florida“ this year

Ooh, nice! Where do you live?

It hit me finally, i even liked Annabelle lol. So many great jump scares in that series. I challenge any one to not flinch during the basement scene

And again.... you all are braver than I!

Well color me excited - I will be heading to Disney and Universal in two weeks!

Have a great time! Let us know how it is. I thought I just saw something about Disney banning those masks with the little valves? I'm curious as to what type of masks people are wearing. Stay safe, wash your hands, and tell people to back off if they get too close! LOL!

Sweet corn is finally ready around here!

Yes, we are getting some too the past few weeks also. Sooo good! Enjoy!

i’m Going with coloring you Lime Green as a nod to the ‘old skool’ disney group

Do they still do this? I've wondered about it...

It is hot again today. It wasn't too bad over the weekend but it is back up to 97 today. Heat index is 106. Same tomorrow and then a break. Hi 80s the rest of the week.

Oh wow! Where are you again? I'm so bad with remember where everyone is from.

I have some sirloin I may throw on the grill or maybe just do BLTs.

Both sound delicious. I'm always down for a good BLT, especially when it's hot.

More COVID cases in our state. Our governor is having a press conference tomorrow. My guess is he will roll us back to phase 1 or 2.

Oh boy. Sorry to hear that. Stay safe!

Well, off to finish making dinner. Just saw the police come down my street so that's a good sign. Hopefully no issues tonight. The police said if they even make a peep, to call them asap. Glad they're on top of it.

 

[Lynne G]

That’s horrible, McK. I hope the landlord kicks the neighbors out. Yeah, hot is is. Yep, whenever I go to my sister’s, it is always 2 degrees cooler. She is not far from Quakertown. Last year, we had season passes to Dorney, but no reason to this year. Was nice when we went, as we would wash up and spend the night at my sister’s on the way home.

Well, so much for chicken dinner. No ding ding ding for me. Little one spied frozen cheese ravioli in the freezer, so what we are having. Red sauce and some steamed broccoli, and dinner will be served. Oh, and I think she saw some Jersey tomatoes that we bought yesterday, so I guess I will cut up one to eat with the meal too. I like an easy meal.

Hey Cam, enjoying that steamy hot temps too. Stay cool. Yeah, the temps are going to be as high tomorrow, but rain may make an appearance late in the day, small chance severe thunderstorms. Eh, garden variety kind, is fine with me. But forecast says no relief from the heat until Friday, when 89 is the predicted high. And to think, August is usually our dog days of summer. When egg frying temps become the every day, with a nice loud thunderstorm that will give rain on one side of the street and not the other. Loving this hot summer weather.

That`s a horrible situation to be in mrose.....neighbours can make your life heaven or hell at times! Hope the police sort them out and the landlord too!

Glad you can get out and enjoy some time away with the dogs......

And wasn`t it strange to hear Daniel Craig with the American drawl......good movie though......are you another who doesn`t like scary movies? We love em...... our problem is they are very rarely scary enough.....



Almost bedtime here again......rain has stopped, still breezy though.....

Tom just asked me what`s for dinner tomorrow night......I have no clue!!!!

 

[mckennarose]

That’s horrible, McK. I hope the landlord kicks the neighbors out.

Me too. I'm wondering if they were acting up because the landlord got on them and they are retaliating. The landlord is being negligent and the city is citing him and he has 20 days to fix some things. At least the law is on our side. We don't live in a bad neighborhood either. Everyone takes care of each other, looks out for each other and we keep our properties nice. One bad apple though.....

Last year, we had season passes to Dorney, but no reason to this year.

I didn't even think of Dorney this year. I guess they're open? I know Hershey Park opened, but we won't go there either right now.

That`s a horrible situation to be in mrose.....neighbours can make your life heaven or hell at times! Hope the police sort them out and the landlord too!

Me too. The police officer told me that we were a lot nicer to the neighbors than he would've been, lol!

Glad you can get out and enjoy some time away with the dogs......

We took them to one of the rivers here for a long walk on a Native American trail. There are loads of them here. So peaceful and serene. One of the dogs likes to swim and he went into the river and if not for the leash, he would've swam out! They both got baths when we got home.

And wasn`t it strange to hear Daniel Craig with the American drawl......good movie though.

It was really funny to hear him speak and took me by surprise! We all don't sound like that, I promise! My accent, as people tell me, is a combo of NY, NJ, Philly and Coal Cracker. LOL! I do have a slight southern accent when saying "yes ma'am". Picked that up from a friend from down South.

I did like the movie! I'm trying to get hubby to watch it now. Youngest dd and I watched it a few weeks ago.

are you another who doesn`t like scary movies?

I do not. I'm ok with suspense, but not full-on horror like Texas Chainsaw. My dd made me watch Dark Skies a few years ago and I woke up all night checking the corners of my room. And that's not even a horror movie. I do like the "kitschy" - funny horror spoofs, like Killer Klowns, the Blob from the 80's and Night of the Comet.

our problem is they are very rarely scary enough.....

You are so much braver than I! I remember watching Nightmare on Elm St (several of them, as a teen), Friday the 13th (can't remember how many, since there are about 100 now!), Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween. The newer ones are so scary now! I can't watch them.

Tom just asked me what`s for dinner tomorrow night......I have no clue!!!!

If you figure something out, let me know. I need ideas! But nothing that involves the oven because it's going to be another Florida-weather scorcher tomorrow. 74 before 8am, which means super hot in the afternoon. It's currently 90 at 6:22 pm.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, no oven cooking for us either, McK. Stovetop and zapping, and I’m done. Was really good too. Guess maybe the chicken tomorrow.

Ah, still so warm out. Lunchtime walk made me take a quick shower. Was so so sweaty.

Time for a perfectly good cup of tea, while figuring out what to watch.

Ah yes, almost evening, and yay,

Have a cool feeling, sound sleeping overnight. Hehe, Thunderstorms Tuesday, will be when you wake up. Hopefully also craving a taco.

 

[Charade67]

Good evening. Exhausting day. This afternoon I spent 2 hours on the phone with my mortgage company (most of that was on hold) trying to straighten out a problem. I think we got it worked out. I will know next week.

Caspian is going nuts right now. There is a bug in our house and he can't get to it. It was on the ceiling in the living room, so I tried to knock it down with a broom. It flew to the ceiling in the foyer, which is way to high for me to reach.

Charade you are in charge of tonight’s lights for the thread

I will try to find something good.

Psycho is a good movie....one you can watch over and just enjoy it.

I think that one will be one and done for me.

Morning all, still watching my refrigerator with one eye open. DH’s been tinkering with it to try to get it to back into proper cool zone. All the likely suspects checked. Pretty sure we have the world’s cleanest coils at this point lol

Hope you are able to get it fixed. Sometimes dh will mention replacing the refrigerator, then I show him how much it will cost to replace it.

Well color me excited - I will be heading to Disney and Universal in two weeks!

Congrats. I'm a little jealous. I see the low crowds and wish I could be there.

I'm a huge scaredy cat

I'll add you as a member of our chicken club. We are the ones who won't go to HHN.

Time to make some new tanks for the parks! I think I will make a Baby Yoda one, a good ol' classic mickey, and then for Universal I'm thinking of doing a Dumbledore quote. I still love when he said a few words before the feast: Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak. So I'm thinking that could be a fun shirt. Not sure if a lot of people will get it but it will make me chuckle when I look in the mirror so what the heck, right?

I love it. I like obscure movie references. I have a Doctor Who inspired shirt and so far only one person I know has understood It.

Hello All! Happy Monday! Our weekend was nice. We didn't really do much other than mulch the flower beds. DH went to get another truckload today to finish it off. It looks so much better. Although, I did not plant the normal amount of annuals I usually do. The home improvement stores were always mobbed since they were the only stores open at the beginning of the COVID shutdown and I just did not have it in me to fight the Corona crowds for flowers. Now toilet paper and paper towels are a different story. Learned that lesson and have quite the stash put away.

A lot of our neighbors have been doing home improvement projects. One even put in a pool. I have a similar stash of toilet paper and paper towels.

More COVID cases in our state. Our governor is having a press conference tomorrow. My guess is he will roll us back to phase 1 or 2.

I am almost afraid of what he will announce tomorrow. On the one hand I think people need to take this more seriously, but on the other hand, I do not want to go back to where we were.

Today did not start well for us, actually it started last night. I don't think I posted before but we have ongoing issues with our neighbors, who are renters. Today started with a call to the police about them shining a laser into our security cameras several times during the night when we saw it on the footage today. sigh..... They are truly awful people and were blasting their music again yesterday and two people called the police on them. I know because the police told me today.

There's no damage, and we have enough evidence for a civil case, plus the city is fining the landlord for violations, and the police have cited them with a $500 fine. Ugh! I'm just praying they move. The police are now patrolling on my street several times per day and night.

Ugh. So sorry to hear about the neighbors. People like that give renters a bad name. I hope the police are able to resolve it to your satisfaction or even better, the renters move.

I do not. I'm ok with suspense, but not full-on horror like Texas Chainsaw.

Same here. I actually love a good suspense movie, but draw the line at horror/slasher movies.

Leaving the light on.

 

[macraven]

The light is cool!!
It’s the best!!!

 

[macraven]

Came back to check the light.

Anyone else thinks the light is purple?
Took another look at it and using my phone to read here, it sure looks like a purple light....

Know Schumi will like that!
It’s her color.

I need someone to remind me next spring to buy pots and tomato plants.
Reading posts here of those with a vegetable garden makes me wish I had done one this last spring.

Mr Mac and I love fresh off the vine tomatoes.

 

[macraven]

Charade we have a screened in back patio porch connected to our house thru the kitchen door.

Our cats love to go out there and bask in the sun.
A little lizard got into the porch and one of our cats went crazy to catch it.

I saw half of that lizard hanging out of cat Bluer’s mouth.
I screamed and the cat wasn’t phased at all.
Picked up the cat and shook her until the lizard fell out of her mouth.

So creepy...
I would rather deal with her catching a moth.
Be glad Casper goes for flying things instead of crawling things.

 

[schumigirl]

Me too. I'm wondering if they were acting up because the landlord got on them and they are retaliating.

That sounds a lovely place to walk to. And, yes, the dogs would love that.....never met a dog that didn`t like water!!

I like suspense moveies more. I don`t mind slashers, but won`t watch anything like those Saw or Hostel movies.......gruesome or torture doesn`t work for me at all, can`t watch them. But, yes, I always feel they lack true scares today.....the Conjuring was one that made me jump about three feet in the air a dozen times, genuine suspense too.

I love accents. It`s one of my many useless talents is to pick up and repeat them......my cousins in LI love to hear me speak in a New York accent......they say I sound more NY than they do......lol.....and speaking to many Americans over the years, there are so many wonderful accents around.......and some not so much. One of my favourites to listen to is a general Boston accent.....could listen to that all day!!

Came back to check the light.

Anyone else thinks the light is purple?
Took another look at it and using my phone to read here, it sure looks like a purple light....

Know Schumi will like that!
It’s her color.

I need someone to remind me next spring to buy pots and tomato plants.
Reading posts here of those with a vegetable garden makes me wish I had done one this last spring.

Mr Mac and I love fresh off the vine tomatoes.

Love me some purple!!!! Yes, now I look again, that light Charade posted is purple......

I don`t think we have a single room there isn`t a touch or shade of purple somewhere......no walls though, for some reason I`m not fond of purple walls, shoes, bags and cars in that colour.......

Fresh tomatoes are hard to beat! We only have a few herbs in our garden growing.....there are somedays I wish we did grow stuff.......but never did.



Slept like a baby last night. Woke up around 5.30 and couldn`t get back over. So, just got up and made some tea.

Laundry done and hanging out as it`s breezy but dry and they`ll be done by mid morning now. No rain forecast today.....hopefully!!

Decided to make honey mustard chicken tonight, baby potatoes and steamed carrots......that`ll work. Will add some green veg for my two......no idea on lunch yet. Turkey sandwiches maybe.

Looks like we`ll have Kyle a bit longer......he thinks his company won`t have them back in till much later in the year now........such a shame as they all miss the social interaction a workplace brings. He has a lot of lovely colleagues he does miss....they keep in touch though which is good.

Not sure of our plan this morning......don`t need any groceries but may stop in at a farm store for some fresh veg, closest one from our village is only ten minutes away, so may go there. Despite no rain forecast we have some dark clouds building around us, so want to keep an eye on washing that`s out.

Ah, another of the morning crew, arriving now. With that proper breakfast tea in my cup. Routine, yes.

Ah, the AC was on most of the night. The 10 o’clock news last night said it would be a warm overnight. And it was. 6 am now, and it’s 80 degrees. But was a lovely sunrise, so bright and now very sunny. Another hot one, with from 2 to 6 pm, chances of rain. So get your bets ready. Hope I am not a loser. Well, my plants want me to be. McK, will you see rain today? And ooh, the ark ready Real, hope you have a clear day, to work in the garden.

With that ah yes, Taco Tuesday is upon us. Haha


See, the day Mac has a Taco Bell dinner. She knows it’s Taco Tuesday.

Ah, the hunt for breakfast is about to begin. While getting out the ravioli last night, I thought I saw waffles. That goes perfect with tea, no? Well, it will suffice, since not in the mood for cereal.

So homies:

@mckennarose so sorry to hear about your neighbours. We have a renter here who is an issue too. Everyone else around is lovely. Homes are kept neat and tidy and no issues. These are so scruffy and dirty in their habits. Lots of shouting and noise fortunately we are detached and facing away but the elderly couple joined on get bothered. Police here would not be interested in issues and say a civil matter.
