I really don't know what the inspiration for this was, but I wanted to do a tuesday 10 so I tried to be creative - maybe if I can keep it up i'll name absolutely favorite songs next week :) Ok I am posting this a day late, and It still has work to be done LOL I'll try to figure the rest out eventually! Jenny by Eric Church - This song is horror. I mean I am an oddball who likes EC dare I say WITHOUT Joanna cotten singing with him, and I SUPER prefer the first two albums of his Carolina & Sinners WAY better than most people but.. This song *sigh* Eric you are better than this! 6Ft Apart By Luke Combs- I just have NEVER been able to get into it and I'm not sure why! It was super hard for me to think of a song of his I actually always skip! Your Mama by Jason Aldean- not into those mommy sort of songs AT ALL - maybe because they seem to always be sappy or whatever but yeah not my cup of tea. 1994 by Jason Aldean - again this didn't come to my head right off the bat. … [Read more...]
almost time to take out Luna & Marley *sigh*
So I haven't written in a few days lol. I don't really know WHY- probably because I've been sleeping after David leaves for work instead of staying up, and that was kind of when I was doing all my writing and online stuff! Eh. Next week is a new week right? So let's do a little bit of a catch up shall we? Friday - We ended up going into town to eat at the pizza buffet when David got home from work. We used to do that almost every Friday before he got on his game at 8. I kind of miss the tradition! Saturday: it rained all freaking day. It was basically a false fall sort of day, so I made stuffed pepper soup :) Sunday: Went to my mom and dads for lunch. David's debit card got hacked so he had to order a new one, which STILL hasn't came *sigh* Monday- Wed - A big freaking blur. Thursday: I DID ALL THE THINGS .... Washed lots of clothes, changed the sheets, shaved, washed my hair, straightened my hair. Cleaned out the pantry and most of the kitchen cabinets. … [Read more...]
Our “Community WIFI” SUCKS!!
So... When we first moved to these apartments 8 years or so ago, you could pretty well do whatever you wanted internet wise. Have it. Not have it. Have whoever you wanted that was available in our area.. .you know.. like it should be right? Then they came and did this whole community wifi thing. To my knowledge, it doesn't matter if you use it or not- you have to pay for it either way :( It is super low speed and super glitchy. The main thing that wouldn't work for us was my wireless printer, which super pissed me off since I was used to being able to be able to print from wherever I was- especially with coupons and such. You have to go to a website and add devices by mac address too. It is SUPER DUPER ANNOYING. Oh, and sometimes even when you do that stuff doesn't work. They say they can send the internet people to do it, but honestly they don't know anything either! As of sometime in May it quit letting our ring peephole cam work. I can't tell you the specifics of when and … [Read more...]
So August came, and David and I ended up with COVID!
So.... back in October 2020 I wrote a post called our COVID adventure. Other than that little scare, we have done super well even with being exposed to COVID a few times that we knew of (the quarry has been eat up with it at several different points, and for me that was more indirect but probably the most of my exposure) then again, when you are out and about you never really know if someone were to have it, or if they might have it and not even know it! Anyways, we have been extremely lucky all the way around. I don't really get out but every little bit, especially back then. No thrift shopping and CVS coupon runs for me in a good while. Really all we did back at that point was go to my mom and dads + the grocery store and that is it. Now we do get out a little bit more, but it still isn't like it was. Moving on.... David and I both woke up and didn't feel very well on Sunday July 31st. I personally just chalked it up to having stayed up a little late and had some wine (I can … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide 2022:Looking For & Early Sponsor Shoutouts #holidaygiftguide #journorequest #prrequest
Hey Everyone! I cannot believe that it is already time for Holiday Gift Guide 2022. The last successful gift guide I had was back in 2017, and involved me doing half of my guide, a sponsored beach vacation with 5 very in depth posts , a mattress review for Nectar and then the rest of my holiday gift guide- to say I wore myself out is probably an understatement! I am hoping for a awesome, but more small guide this year- though we'll see how it goes! I am def. going to be taking it slow to start with! We know I tend to need to stay more busy in the winter so.. we will leave it up to fate I suppose! This is my main post that will have all the information, my early sponsors (they get extra love and shoutouts) and of course a form to pitch me! This post will be pinned for a while, and then I will switch over to the actual guide being pinned at some point, with a link to this post of course! My blog turned 12 years old in May - though we all know I started blogging before the word … [Read more...]
So, why did my blogging slow down?
So, when COVID first came around back in 2020 I had already slowed down with blogging a lot- I kind of went big with the whole Myrtle Beach trip & the gift guide running together back at the end of 2017 and I was BURNT THE HECK OUT + you know it was winter and with my seasonal depression I was like whatever, I'll pick things back up in the spring- and I never did! The biggest thing was David had gotten me an kindle fire tablet and kindle unlimited and I went hard core into reading and never really looked back. I mean yeah, I blogged some here and there but it wasn't such a big thing- reading was better , less dramatic and I just fully went down a rabbit hole there. I did try a couple times for review things around gift guide time, but I never really got anywhere so I kind of just gave up. I think up to a certain point I was still posting semi regularly and then when I had my chemical eye burn (theres a fun story to look forward to!in may 2019 I kind of got worse with blogging, … [Read more...]
