Phew. I got some stuff DONE today ya'll! In addition to what I wrote about earlier, I made things CONTINUE to happen. I was pretty shocked at myself. I made the chex mix. I didn't realize that it was supposed to be on LOW and I had it on HIGH .. Let me just say it burnt, and we had to start over LOL .. .didn't I tell ya'll I thought that it would go wrong.. I think I jinxed myself. The 2nd batch has turned out well. I also straightened the plastic bowls cabinet, the cabinet by the dishwasher, the pantry, the deep freezer and my rolly cart that is in the living room! My mom is on a holiday kick already. I know she said that when my dad goes to do some of his deer hunting in a few weeks up in VA she was going to take the Bingo game presents. I can't be bothered to even try to Holiday just yet- it takes me a while to get that festive. I am wondering though, if my dad is going to be bow hunting (I don't know a thing about what season is which, because I just DO NOT KNOW lol) I … [Read more...]
I could have been moving right now. ..and Do ALL the things!
Hey Everyone! Today has been one of those super rare days when I have felt like doing all the things (I really do wish that there were more of those, or at least that they were closer together!) Maybe if I am lucky, I can continue the trend tomorrow. a few of the things that I have gotten done today are: Made a double batch of raviolli (one for now, one to freeze for later) Baked a Cake! (Got to frost it still, and I really suck at frosting lol) Washed Dishes in dishwasher, put away, reloaded, and HAND WASHED DISHES too! Made the bed Cleaned Sam's Box Ran the straightening brush through my hair :) Took Marley out Washed Colored Clothes(They are drying now! lots of other small little random things that I can't even remember but.. .there are some highlights! Right now I am taking a break and I started Re-watching Downton Abbey so I don't know if I will get back into anything later on or not! Especially since Marley is on one side of me and Sam is on the other ... … [Read more...]

Quick Update: Sober October! Holiday Gift Guide 2021?
Hi Everyone SO, I know I have pretty well been missing in action this entire year, and I do apologize for that. Blogging just hasn't been my cup of tea for a while. It has been super hard with COVID and my not getting out of the house very much- which we all know I am a homebody to start with, and didn't get out very much before covid- but COVID pretty well has halted my couponing, thrift shopping, etc. I pretty well only get out to go to the grocery store and maybe to my mom and dads! So, with everything so limited and everything seemingly being same ole, same ole most days- + this and that well.. blogging has kind of fell away for me! After my big holiday gift guide + my myrtle beach trip a few years ago, I honestly did have blogger burn out, and then I got really interested in reading so I kind of went with that for a good while. I tried to get back into things and mix things up with the couponing content, and then my mom and dad had their wreck 2 years ago, and things were … [Read more...]
its always something :)
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 … [Read more...]
again?
Hey Everyone! I am so happy for sunny weather, you can't even imagine! I Don't even care that it hasn't really been that "warm" then again , we are in the south here, so it can stay cool for a good while for all I care, because I know those super hot 100 in the shade days will be here before you know it! All I was wanting was for it to be SUNNY and that it would still be daylight out after David got home! I just don't like the going to work in the dark thing, and coming home and it being dark thing! I mean who likes that? That is always my thing when people say they don't like this time change- I mean you like it being dark at 5 p/m do you? UGH!!! Not me! Thankfully, we made it almost a month now without my apartment place trying to come in and do stupid meaningless things, and during COVID no less! I mean I thought we were going to have to seriously find something similar to Orlando Moving Companies, because I just now am starting to bounce back from winter blues- I have my … [Read more...]
