Thankgiving Day 2008

By
So HG and I weren’t able to go see our families for Thanksgiving. He didn’t want me to cook and he said he’d take me to a buffet. Well, as he pulled up the restaurant, I was telling him that the writing looked Chinese/Japanese/something other than American. He decided we should go in anyway because he saw the ad in the paper that they would be serving Turkey. I glanced at the ad. It said a ‘seafood buffet would be also be serving Turkey’. When we walked in the smell hit me – fish and not in a good way. He still decided to check it out. The one turkey looked as though it had been picked clean by vultures. The smell was nauseating to me as I am not one who likes seafood. I told him it would be ok. I would just eat dessert or something. He said what do you want to do and I said we could stay. But as I looked around at all of the foreigners and the strange food, I told him could we please try somewhere else. We ended up at a country buffet and I finally got my turkey and buttered rolls. I missed my mom’s cooking - her turkey and dressing and desserts. But HG and I did have a good time and I did get ice cream after all.

After we ate, we went hunting. It was fun. I got one squirrel – he got two. I got frustrated as I definitely need to improve on my aim. But overall, HG and I had a good thanksgiving. Because even though I wasn’t able to see my family and spend time with them, I was happy to spend time with the love my life, my husband.

Window Bird Feeder By Yellow Beaks

By
Lil Man has been beside himself since the Clear Window Bird Feeder by Yellow Beaks arrived in the mail. He couldn't wait to get it up and outside. He's very anxious for the birds to come. I wasn't sure how the suction cups would hold up. I've never, in the past, had much luck with any type of suction cup. But so far it's been a week with varying temperature changes, and the suction cups are holding strong. The construction seems sturdy, and it looks to be well-made. It also will be easy to clean out. I know with bird feeders they can get a little yucky sometimes, but this will be easy to remove, spray out and clean up.  So far the birds haven't visited us yet. Our neighbor has several bird feeders and he is keeping all of the birds over there (ha). But Lil Man is checking daily, sometimes multiple times a day, for a bird. So I can't report how the birds like the feeder, but I have to say that we honestly do.  You can find the Wind...

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

By
May 26, 2021 3:40pm  Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... )  "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June."   Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there."  Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion.  May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual ...

MagicMil Chalkboard Label And Pen Pack Review And Giveaway

By
I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. I'm not known for my craftiness. The fact that I made bird feeders out of milk jugs was a huge accomplishment for me when it comes to crafts. But when I saw these Chalkboard labels , I couldn't get over just how cute they were. And I thought, surely even I could could create something cute with these. First of all, there are several sizes and shapes to choose from. So the possibilities seem endless for what all you could do with these great Chalkboard labels . They are easiest to remove if you slightly bend where the label starts. And they are also re-positionable. ( I may or may not be speaking from experience ;) But they can be re-positioned up to 20 minutes. And they come with a liquid chalk pen. The liquid chalk pen is a little more watery than other markers. You can reapply to...
