Something About Nothing ... #12

[Monykalyn]

We don't do much for Vday either-don't like the hyped artificiality of it. We splurge on vacations and I have told DH I'd much rather do that than spend money because commercials tell me to. Plus february is a busy month with our volunteer stuff with Chili cookoff at end of month. And I prefer plants/seeds to cut flowers anyway. I have a collection of orchids around my big garden tub that I enjoy daily (couple of them getting ready to bloom again too).

Talking to kids yesterday and neither are too excited about disney parks again this summer. We ARE gonna use those dang AP's but I do think we will be focusing on more of a "Florida" vacation. Toying with idea of letting them bring a friend along if oldest is off doing an internship again...

Supposed to warm up and be rather rainy next couple days, then snow/ice friday night. *sigh

I love Orchids MonyK.......but darn if they aren’t the only flower that I seem to be allergic to.......and I genuinely adore them.......white roses are my favourite flower of all time........

Yep, if commercialism tells us to do one thing we do the other.......... I agree making a Florida vacation is a fabulous idea. Especially here in the UK, folks are surprised we don’t spend every second of our trips in a Disney park. There’s so many other things to see and do around and outside the parks........we always say we love Florida and Orlando not just theme parks.........and taking a friend would be lovely for them.



Blowing a hoolie outside right now........no snow hopefully.....although river near us froze last night.......just the darn wind chill today.

Time for Sparkly........almost.......

Nothing like being retired and no more job to go to everyday


Makes a person forget what day of the week it is

Not talking about me but Mr Mac
He thought Vday was yesterday

Dang KY...So sorry y'all had such a rough go lately. Condolences and Prayers that you will get comfort soon.

So sad to hear 17 dead and more injured from a kid shooting those at the high school he had gone to. 19th time this year, 45 days, there was a school shooting. May this stop now. May those grieving find peace in this most difficult time.

Had to hug my kids, not just for Valentine’s Day.

House feels cool, so tea it is.

We used to live in Coral Springs, FL which is not too far from Parkland. I think my last dentist was in Parkland.

I have no words for this right now.

Hugs to Ky hope the new year treats you better.

My son knows the way to my heart and gave me a bottle of Jack for Valentine's day and he agreed to go with me to HHN this fall

Hope all of my homies had a lovely day! ❤

 

[tink1957]

I tried to edit my post above to say that I too have no words..it's so sad that this has become not a rare occurrence in our world today

I have a reservation at Aventura for September 18 - 25 if all goes as planned. ROF is such a good deal it's hard to pass up.

 

[macraven]

Will be missing you again this year
I’ll be at Disney when you will be at uo

Maybe next year our dates will match up

Awful events at the school yesterday.



It’s Thursday..........

Awww.......got heart shaped pancakes this morning.......and bacon with real maple syrup........it was a lush breakfast.

Got busy morning ahead today........fun stuff though, except physio appointment.........that’s never fun but helps so much........

Steaks again tonight at DS request.........

Have a great Thursday..........

 

[KStarfish82]

So sorry to hear about Janet's son....hopefully he will be recovered soon.

Terrible tragedies....when will people actually do something as opposed to just arguing about it

Definitely hugged the boys a bit tighter tonight.

Nursery duty cancelled this morning........nasty virus going around has closed it for the next two days......

So, shopping instead........home for lunch then back out for a bit......

Least sun is shining.......

Hugs to Janet. Hope her DS is recovering quick. Sorry to hear he got in a bad car accident. Hope she is having some fun with her family on vacation.

is that a Schumi cat? LOL

and a funny, since Mac is a cat fan.

Ah, the warm air, though brought some not expected rain early today, makes it feel like almost Spring. 65 today, 40 tomorrow, and 30 on Saturday. Teasing weather. Snow and freezing rain on tap for Saturday night, but balmy today.

Yum, steak, sounds like Schumi is having lush meals today. Good Afternoon! Glad to hear the sun is shining. Yes, unfortunately, sickness all around here too. Enjoy your shopping trip.

Hey MonyK, Charade, Tink and Robo, coffee plentiful today?

Mac, water or tea? Maybe coffee?

Hope little Charlie is letting mom sneak in some naps. Well, hope Lucas and Christopher nap with her too.

With that Good Morning and Good Afternoon Thursday to all the homies. May your day be awesome!

 

[schumigirl]

No cats for me Lynne.........not my thing at all.......lol.......

Yep, everywhere has something going around. Sounds like a cold weekend ahead for you too.......
