Something About Nothing ... #12

I like bacon.

Builders have gone for the day........they do an amazing clear up job every day on the drives and paths.......it's so peaceful when they go. But, such nice guys.

Out tonight with friend for something to eat........won't be out late as I'm shattered. Early to bed tonight........
 
Marci - I'm sorry for your loss. I missed the post too.

Tiny - YES! You NEED hot butterbeer. It is a real need. I can't wait until it's hot butterbeer season again.

We enjoyed our stay at Portofino. It had been a while since I did a hotel with the boat - it was so nice to have that shorter walk. Our room at Portofino had an enormous bathroom - but then an itty bitty shower. What's with that?? Not a problem for petite me, but hubby definitely noticed it. I managed to hit over 500K on MIB twice - so getting better! I don't think I'll ever be a member of the 999,999 club though. Kid 2 is doing a take your son/daughter to work day at Universal tomorrow. It's not actually where my husband works since he doesn't work in the parks and the program is in the park. I'm debating going and doing the parks solo while they're there. But the weather forecast said high of 96, heat index of 99, last I checked. So, rethinking it.

I Know we need rain (and my gardens are loving it-KALE anyone? Even chickens aren't eating it). BUT the storm we had last night with wicked straight line winds destroyed my gazebo (broke the metal rails-forgot to take the canvas top off, but amazingly it isn't ripped, but clearly caused the wind to warp-tear the metal), and blew the anchored trampoline from neighbors yard into side of our house. VERY loud bang about 3 am. Again, amazingly missed AC unit and windows and didn't knock fence down (like last time with different neighbors).

Happy Wednesday....

Having lived 13 years in South Florida, hurricane type storms are NOT fun.. but thunder and lighting is beautiful :) Sorry you went through hell. :(

Wow, that's quite a storm! I don't love storms. I'm always scared they're going to cause damage. I'm the one with the news on watching every minute when the torcon gets up to 5. I'm checking every 20 minutes when it's a 3. And check the radar before I leave the house to see what the chances of getting caught in a storm is. We desperately need rain in FL though - like desperately desperately. So, I do want rain just for that.
 
Well, I can share the rain. It's raining again. Not hard though, just enough for the cars to have the windshield wipers going. That means, I'll need my umbrella. I do like a nice storm, but one that does no damage. Hope all is okay MonyK. Scary when things go flying from the wind. This time, no thunderstorms, just rain and more rain. Puddles and spin outs in the news.

My aunt who lives on LI had a few years in South Florida.......had the most lovely address in Boca Raton......think it was Coconut Palm Road......always sounded so cute......she did and still does love storms.......LI has a few good ones too.......we saw an amazing one 2 years ago on LI.

I love the thunder storms in Florida......we are the ultimate tourists standing pointing at the lightning......lol......



Had nice night out with friend.........had some seafood and wine........nice night out. My lovely DH had nice glass of red waiting for me when I got in too.......

Builders are arriving early tomorrow so, up with the larks and have tea ready for them......... nice guys, but glad when job is totally finished.........

Off to bed for us.........long day.............:faint:
 
Just rain now. Think the storms are past. Really-it is typical Midwest weather for spring. And no tornado threat...but yeah, the winds were bad. Misting now-chickens are out and so are the hawks-watched one swoop down while we were eating dinner-ran out to deck. Thankfully the big chickens were under son's soccer (leaning in a corner of wall/yard) net happily picking worms/bugs so the hawk didn't get one of them! Baby chickens perched on my leg (with towel under them to catch the poo's) sleeping.
At this point I'd happily send rain to Florida! Lake Ozark is opening some flood gates at the damn, but STL is still in a "drought", but SW MO here is just soggy.

Waiting on neighbor to get home from work so we can get their trampoline back to their yard-all I see looking out bedroom window is the trampoline LOL! Startled me all day:rotfl:

Yeah not a fan of those showers. I have no idea if back in the day I just got a handicap accessible bathroom or if they changed it in the remodel...... But the first time I stayed at Portofino we had a tub/shower amazingness combo. The room we had last year had a "nice" little peekaboo shutter, tub, and separate shower. NOT A FAN. And I'm TINY. How do you shave in that thing!? I'm a dancer and fairly flexible so I managed. Cant imagine anyone bigger than me though... But alas maybe I'm spoiled. I also felt very exposed. Why? I dont know it had four walls and a solid door. I just like more closed showers I guess. LOVE Portofino though.

Last time I was at RPR I had a tub shower combo with a real bathroom door as apposed to the slider doors. It was an accessible room... Kind of always want to request it but don't want to take it from someone who needs it. No idea why there's accessible rooms that high up.. feel like emergency situations would be very difficult with them up that high and elevators not working.

Keep forgetting to call and make all my requests at the resorts. Tower 1, high floor, bumped upgrade. Was talking to the boy earlier and found out he doesn't like high floors at hotels. Not sure I can keep him. He said he'd do it for me. Told him if there was a fire I'd throw him out the window... thats why I get a water view right? Soft landing? :rolleyes1 Maybe it's a little person thing. I like to be up tall so I can see as far as possible.

Yes- it was the separate shower and tub room. the bathroom was so big - I'm not sure why they couldn't make the shower bigger. We could have dragged a full sized bed into that bathroom and still had room left over. I'm not overly flexible but I don't cut easily so shaving is really easy for me. The peekaboo shutter at least had a lock on it. I've been in rooms at other hotels where there was no lock. I realize it's just my family but I like to know I'm not going to get any surprises!



I decided I am going to Universal tomorrow (today?) Eldest will stay home and watch the youngest so I get a half of a solo-day. (Program ends soon after lunch). Hubby needs to be there by 8am. I have no idea if my pass will give me early admission but I guess I'm going to try. It's after 12:30am so I best be getting to bed. I normally don't wake up until 8:30. Morning is going to come way too early. This solo time has to go better than when I last attempted solo on December 30th. I gave up then and toured the different resorts due to the crowd. I need to do FJ without others complaining they want to do it and work on my MIB score. Maybe even take in a Monster Make-up show since the youngest is scared of it. And eat what I want. Ah, bliss. But morning is still too early.

Have fun today........sounds like a nice way to spend a morning.........I'm a morning person.......usually up just after 6........always have been.



And it's still raining........it dried up beautifully yesterday for the builders and sun came out most of the day.........but it's dreary and grey and raining heavy again.

Another day of keeping the builders supplied with hot drinks and snacks........

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

Take care Mac. I hope all goes well and you're feeling good soon after. Booboos indeed. You're always welcome to give a call.

Yay! Schumi's back and builders are there again. No wonder, lovely food and drink always found at your home.

Have fun Kohlby. That's the beauty of solo, doing what I want and eating what I want. I too am an early riser, even on vacation. Though I don't move as fast on some of those vacation days.

Well, it's 60 degrees and foggy. Still somewhat cool, but now muggy. And yay! Still gray, and most likely gray most of the day, but close to 80 in the afternoon. Yes, no jacket (remember jacket) needed coming home.

And, since it's Thursday:

Enjoy today, Friday is tomorrow! That deserves a wahoo! And, tea is ready, and so I need to go, thirsty ya know.

For a year, I worked on the 7th floor of an "all windows" building in Florida. The views of the lightning storms were amazing. The birds smacking into the window on a daily basis, not so much.

Never tasted kale for some, do like spinach & most other greens. When i saw recipes that said you had to massage it had to laugh.

We get those sort of storms up on the ridge, so much damage we've been bumped up to microbursts for insurance reasons. I had a heavy yard swing tumble across my yard awhile ago. Still trying to get the canvas topper replaced.

You will kick butt:wizard: we'll keep a light on for you.

Ha, I bet you say that to all your 'kids'. No problem with us, being those red-headed stepchildren, we're a rather low maintenance lot.

May God bless you and keep you safe thru your recovery.:wave:
