hey everyone
well, I have meant to write before now, but random things keep happening! I was doing SUPER amazing on cleaning out things around the house there for a good week or two and BAM I got a random fever again! I used to do that a lot as a child, and I had it happen again back in early December so that kinda took me out for about 3 good days last week (Tues-Thurs) Friday was kinda o.k but my allergies started back, and girl time too- which brought on a nasty headache (I couldn’t win last week lol) I pushed through and by Monday I started feeling more like myself, but that was a lot of stuff at one time!
The sad thing was my biggest plan for last week was to actually seriously come up with a summer menu, and it NEVER HAPPENED – I ended up writing down 5 random meals to just make it to the weekend and then i’ll have to go from there UGH lol.
Part of that cleaning binge was me in the big closet- and I actually completed the floor level- I just need to get back to it!
Somewhere along the lines, before I got the crazy fever, we decided we wanted to take a trip. We haven’t been anywhere in SO long, and this time around I am happy to say that it will NOT be a working trip. I think I am well over those- the last one was just too much and is part of the reason that I have had blog burn out ever since- I mean 5 reviews + the holiday gift guide and a mattress? What the heck was I thinking lol.
We have decided to go to Gatlinburg again, and this time around we are going to stay in a cabin, which is something we have always talked about doing, but we generally stay at wilderness at the smokies and …yeah so I am super excited. This time we are not planning a bunch of stuff out, and we are just going to seriously go and relax. I wish we could have an extra day but we are lucky we could even manage it for the two days- because of the timing of things.(Not because of money! this cabin is SUPER NICE and was VERY reasonable.) For some reason Wilderness was like $399 a night and I was like um, i’m thinking NO…our whole trip with insurance isn’t that much for TWO nights! I figure we might be able to get back in the fall or something like that though.
It was funny when we were looking at cabins , I had basically spent the whole day looking and was giving up and going to look later on when this one came around. David had said he wanted to stay IN town and close to everything and I had one that was on top of ober gatlinburg and one that you could walk to the aquarium in 3 minutes– then this one came along- and it is actually more in the cades cove /great smokey national park area so .. yeah ha ha
So… I have been back in the swing of things for probably a month or so, and been doing pretty good with random house stuff and haven’t really gotten into much else just quite yet. There are still lots of random things that I am interested in , but I wanted to do a major spring clean before I got into anything super “lazy” (like TV and movies arent .. lol )
I still have animal crossing and my switch – I have actually played quite a bit with the switch, just not animal crossing! Then there is reading (I tried to read a couple of books back at the beginning of the year, but the 2 I tried never did hold my interest! Oh, and coloring… and maybe going back to watching AW and writing my little story
As far as my Cricut – I am still interested , but it is kind of hit and miss. I wish I could have kept my JOY and I kind of wish that I had the Maker instead of the Air. I would also like to write a little bit about things Cricut related here, since I really don’t get to get out and coupon or thrift shop anymore.
I did quite a few things with the cricut when I first got it back in the fall- I know when I had the Joy , I was more on a sticker binge and I feel like it really did help me with trying to learn things and it seemed like I was learning something every day that I had it… that is why I did the upgrade to the Air Explore 2- but I haven’t felt as confident with it- but I think a lot of that has had to do with some issues with the software that have been happening- like I say it is something I am interested in, and I am hoping to maybe even one day make a shirt! I guess stay tuned for more on that front!
I totally didn’t plan to go to CVS with my mom today- the one deal I wanted to do is the BOGO Baboo toilet paper- I also have a CRT that makes it buy 2 get one- so my understanding is you get 4 packs for the price of 1 ($10.99) and you get back a $3 extrabuck for buying 2 paper products which makes it $7.99 – I have went to do this deal several times, and they NEVER have the TP at our store… but my mom just did the deal and they have plenty left so, I guess I’m off to see what I can do!
I’ll try to write everything up later if I can… I just paid my domain name and hosting, so I need to get back on this a bit more 🙂
