Hi everyone! Sorry to be MIA for a couple of days! I have read the thread but it has been too late to post ... I was super emotional for a little while yesterday afternoon when the sale and turnover of my house went final. ... but I'm liking my new condo! It looks like a bomb went off but I'm slowly unpacking ... my girlfriend is coming over tonight for dinner and to give me a hand. Here are a few photos I have posted to Facebook over the past two days: Boxes and boxes!!! The showerhead in both bathrooms ... it took some time for this old lady to figure out how to use the thing! It has a digital temperature readout ... I shower with water at 43 degrees Celsius ... HOT! The piano I am "babysitting" indefinitely ... it belongs to dd#1, given to her by her late Nana, but she can't take it until she someday gets a place of her own ... it's beautiful but takes up space! So I'll do some more unpacking today ... and relax as well! Dinner will be whatever my girlfriend wants ... I'll cook or we'll order takeout ... What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

That shower is amazing. leannec! It’s another gorgeous day here in western New York. We might hit a high of 77° later. I think I am almost done sorting everything I need to take to a weekend crop in about 10 days just took me an hour to sort paper. Later today the girl who organizes our crops and her mom are putting on a jingle mingle. Chelsea is a creative memories consultant and her mom has become a distributor I guess that’s what you call it for Echo Park, doodle bug, and she makes a lot of her own page layouts to sell so I can’t wait to see what she’s got. So we’re going to drink and eat and shop.

Struggling today. I never really know why sometimes my anxiety just gets the best of me.

leannec, I want to see your kitchen when it's ready. You have a great shower, but I would need a manual for all of those knobs. Looks majorly relaxing. It's normal to be emotional during a major life change. I've been saying all along that this is bittersweet. Congratulations on the move to Leanne's place. Darcy Collins, I used to have terrible anxiety. Be kind to yourself. It always passes. christine58, your Jingle Mingle sounds like so much fun. Does your mom scrap, too? I'm still down for the count. They gave me some fluids yesterday and that perked me up a bit. Thank goodness for Tamiflu. Though I still want a refund on my free flu shot! Yesterday I passed the time by watching Weird: The Al Yankovic story on Roku. Uh, it was weird and at times downright bizarre. Daniel Radcliffe and Rainn Wilson did great jobs. Dinner will be up to dh. He's been trying to get takeout Chinese for the past few days. Maybe tonight when he visits his mom. Have a fun, happy day, tribe. I'm wishing you a creative day, leannec, as you unpack and decorate your new home.

Struggling today. I never really know why sometimes my anxiety just gets the best of me. I’m sorry Darcy Collins. Can you go for a walk? scrapmaven . LOL no my mom doesn’t scrapbook. She is a crocheter but has not in awhile due to her arthritis in her hands. She is very crafty though.

We did an extra long one today. I'll be okay - just need to keep on keeping on.

I am a busy little bee today. I was up at 5:30 this morning. I had coffee and reading in bed.
I needed to back to the pottery sale this morning. I found one candlestick holder yesterday and I was looking for a second. I was disappointed there wasn't one. As I stepped up to check out I noticed the lady two customers ahead of me had it's match. Bummer. I asked if they were putting out more stuff today and they said they were. So I was there bright and early and alas, no more candlesticks. Maybe next year.
I went to Sam's this morning and bought out the place. I am going to be prepping food all day for the baby shower tomorrow. My aunt is coming up from Chicago and she will help me while we visit. I will order pizza for dinner.

Hi Everyone, leannec I understand the bittersweet feeling. I went through it when we moved. But in time, you are going to fall in love with your condo and your area. Then the memories will become wonderful and heartwarming. Your condo looks perfect for you and the shower looks amazing! christine58 We are having the same weather today. I love it! Enjoy your Jingle Mingle! scrapmaven I am sorry that you are still not feeling well. I am sending prayers your way. Darcy Collins Hugs to you. I hope your anxiety goes away soon. Today, I was supposed to go to my ODS’s university for a tour with my YDS. Unfortunately, insomnia set in last night and I didn’t get to sleep until 5 am. DH and YDS got a private tour by ODS. They are home now and it looks like next year, both of my boys will be there. YDS has a Veteran’s dance that he is working at this afternoon and tonight. So I don’t know what dinner is going to be for DH and me. I hope everyone has a peaceful day!

Good morning! We have been without power since 10pm last night with such a crazy storm. I have never heard wind that bad. We have no internet or cell service at home and are currently at a cafe in a near by town for breakfast and using the internet!
Dinner TBD. Today is my dog Chloe’s 10th birthday. Lucky her- she will probably get lots of rides in the car today -which she loves- trying to find food and internet etc. 😂 At some point if we still don’t have power we will pack up the dogs and go stay with dd1 in Seattle (a little over an hour away). Have a good day, all.

Our weather has decided in the past few days that it is time to gear up for winter. Yesterday was rainy, today has been cold and rainy - top temp only 8°C. The coming week doesn't look any better. I went out for a walk early for me, as I decided it wasn't going to get any better - it did rain a bit, but not heavily. Since lunch, we have been watching football (our game was a bit nerve-wracking towards the end) and working on my knitting projects. I have two sweaters with all the knitting done that need seaming. One is just about done - just a few more ends to weave, and the second will be tomorrow's project. Tonight, we are going out for dinner, as it is our wedding anniversary. We are going to a local Asian fusion restaurant which we visited once a few years back. The menu looks really good. Darcy Collins - I am sorry your anxiety is acting up. I hope you can find a way to wind down and feel calmer. scrapmaven - boo for flu! I hope the tamiflu kicks in soon and you are feeling better.

Struggling today. I never really know why sometimes my anxiety just gets the best of me. It's been that kind of week for me, too. DH and I finally signed off on some financial stuff. Most was on line, but one package needs to be mailed off so I'll visit the post office on my way to a holiday market. Hoping to come back with a few homemade soaps, find something to stuff in DD's stocking and maybe treat myself to some earrings. DH wants to go for a drive later and I'm hoping that means poking through some antique/junk stores. Also hoping that means picking up dinner somewhere on the way.

It’s been snowing here for the last few days, so I’m just going to put a frozen lasagna in the oven for supper.

I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling good enough to go get pancakes The Birdhouse Lady Darcy Collins there are never the right words to say when someone is feeling out of sorts. It is comfort sometimes to hear the mundane because everything else is all so overwhelming. Hugs.

Today was the semi-annual yard sale in my community. They open all the gates and it's usually a free-for-all with cars. This is the first time they had one in November and I'm thinking they will go back to just the one in May. It's cold and it looked like maybe a 10th of the usual participation. We snagged some really nice TV tables in a stand for $10 and a beautiful jade plant in a hand-painted pot for $10. I think I'll make a big pot of gumbo this afternoon for dinner. The LSU vs Bama game will be on during dinner so I need something easy.

Super windy here today but 75 degrees. Went to the antique salvage store but they are only open 1 Saturday a month now. It wasn’t today. My church had a craft show and I went to that. It wasn’t very good. Tonight I’m babysitting thank goodness because I feel lonely for no apparent reason. I’ll probably order my veggie burger before I go over. jeremysgirl were you able to get the artist’s name? You could contact them directly Maybe they have an instagram or FB?

Major wind here today but DH and I managed to get in a bike ride this morning before it got too windy.
Did some laundry and got some groceries. Now reading a bit before supper.
Tonight supper will be mac and cheese with leftover steak for me and sausage in a bun for DH.
The clocks go back an hour tonight so we gain an hour of sleep!!

I'm wishing you a creative day, leannec, as you unpack and decorate your new home. Awww! Thanks! I'm not feeling super motivated today ... I've done a few minor things ... The weather sucks again so my girlfriend is staying home tonight ... but dd#2 is coming over instead! Maybe she will want to do stuff around here ... or maybe not! leannec, I want to see your kitchen when it's ready. You have a great shower, but I would need a manual for all of those knobs. Looks majorly relaxing. It's normal to be emotional during a major life change. I've been saying all along that this is bittersweet. Congratulations on the move to Leanne's place. My kitchen will be finished in about eleventy months! If this old lady can figure out the shower, you could! Those "knobs" are actually shower heads! Water comes out of them if you want! Ummmm, no. Not at 3am which is when I shower! I am not smart enough for that shower leannec 🤣 Like I said above, if I can figure it out anyone can! Tonight, we are going out for dinner, as it is our wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary!!!

sueg, wishing you a very Happy Anniversary. Though you're probably sleeping. I hope that you enjoyed a romantic dinner w/your beloved dh. Yay, indeed for Tamiflu, Marina. I feel much better already. Still quite congested, but I feel semi-human. Now it's time to watch Dusty Baker, my very favorite baseball manager get a World Series win!
