We have a small house so the only table option is a kitchen table. We rarely eat in the living room, mostly if we have pizza or during a football game.

My grocery store has a place where you can pick the substitution or note that you don't want a substitution. I still get texts about regardless of what I marked. One time it felt like the store was half empty because of how many texts I got.
My vent is when they simply ask "do you want a substitute?" But don't give some options of what is available (specifically when there's only a few options because some options are also sold out). The last time I did a same-day delivery from Target my shopper took a picture of what was available--i loved that!

At home I never intentionally leave my car unlocked, but sometimes I forget or it just doesn't lock when I click the button (car in driveway). Same thing when I'm away from home, but I am better about not forgetting.
This is a big joke at my dad and stepmom's house because they live in a small town and never lock anything (cars or their house). They usually leave the keys in their cars too. They like to make fun of those of us who lock vehicles when visiting, but it's mostly in jest (plus it's not like it's going to make us change our habits...)

Finally some decent prices on things they've been putting "on sale" for a long time. I still had items from the Great Outdoors collection sitting in my cart so it was easy to have some fun & pick things up I might not otherwise get because I was close enough to free shipping.

My guess with the Clorox wipes is back to school supply lists. I just got the list for DS13 and they are on the like any other normal year.
I have the wipes on a list on the Sam's website and today when I went to put something from that list into my cart I noticed the wipes were sold out--they hadn't been every other time I looked at that list this summer. Thankfully I still have a box with several packs that I bought from Amazon this winter for his school but never sent as I'll be sending those in next month. I'm sure parents are buying more than the requested amount if possible--I know I bought some whenever I saw them last year trying to do everything possible to keep everyone in the school safe so that they could stay open (and they did all year!)

I had never been an MLB fan until my son got into the Cubs back in 2015 (because his Little League team was the Cubs that year) and I got hooked too. They were so much fun to watch--Rizzo was my favorite because he looked like a big kid just having fun out there. Now I'm just sad...and mad...and confused because apparently I just don't understand how professional baseball works (I know players get traded, but the core of a team?). I'm also mad about two things today--1) That the only Cubs game I've been to was one where Rizzo took a day off and 2) had I known he was going to be traded to the Yankees I would have tried to get tickets to the Field of Dreams game here in Iowa since I'm a resident! At least I can maybe see some of these prospects before they hit the big leagues since we go to I-Cubs games once in a while.

It is ugly, but at the same time parts of it would be perfect for the trip we just took to Steamboat Springs, CO--we even went on a horseback ride! Pretty sure the last time I was on a horse was when I was in single digits. I'm not sure I have anything to for scrapbooking it, but I'm not sure I'd want the entire kit. I'm trying to talk myself out of getting the July kit with the discount and then cancelling after the August kit ships (especially since I ordered the July chipboard separately and when my order finally shipped I got a notice that it was sold out)...

Ours are not buried because we live in a neighborhood with houses from 40s-50s. I can't imagine the hassle and cost it would take to bury them. The energy company comes around every few years and trims back trees from the lines, but trees still get planted underneath them which has never made sense. Most of the suburbs have buried lines.

I would probably go back and forth between the two...and then change it to "She went on a trip with her husband." But I think my brain wants to say "She and her husband..."

I like being able to pick & choose from everything in the "kit"...especially since I don't care for/need half of it! I might pick up the cards, felt shapes, fabric circles and maybe one of the stamps.

I'm definitely interested in the Outdoors release, but am worried it's going to be heavy on the camping again. Ironically we'll be heading into the mountains of Colorado so I'm not sure when I'll be able to check out the preview and shop.

What digital elements are people picking up during the sale? I feel like I am endlessly scrolling. I always stock up on the newest sets of PL cards and stamp sets that I think I like (ones released since the previous digital sale). Some sales I scroll through everything, but others I don't. This time I did and found a few things that are either "new" yet old (one or two Scrapbook Kit papers this time around) or something that might work for what I might need in a different phase of life/scrapping. Other times I just scroll through and think of one two thoughts...man, they used to have some great stuff...followed by, man they used to have some useless crap (this time around it was the era of planner stamps that I was so excited to get because of the theme, but have since realized they are completely useless outside of a planner because they are so small and use a plain font for the words.)

Baked potato. One of the first recipes I made in my air fryer was a baked potato and it was the best one I've ever had.

The Good Doctor--i watched the first 3 seasons and the Covid episodes from this year & didn't watch any more. Even though I know they have moved on (unlike Grey's), I just haven't gotten back into it.
Manifest--watched & enjoyed the first two seasons, but never started the 3rd. Now I'm not sure I will.
Otherwise nothing current. I remember not watching older shows thru to the end, but that would have been in the days of either watch it live or tape it on VHS.
So proud & jealous of everyone who has been able to quit Grey's. I am so ready for it to be done (even before this Covid-centered season) but I've watched it since season 2 and feel like I have to finish it. I felt the same about ER too, but they at least had the sense to finally end after 15 seasons.

One of you might just have to be in the bathroom to at least assist during showers by squirting things onto his hand--however if you only have shower doors that might make it a little more difficult. Maybe he could shower in shorts or underwear? But I think he's going to figure out really quick that he will need help.
My youngest broke his left arm, but he was only in 1st grade so it was easier to help/do things for him.

I don't sew, but I have heard that before. I do have a pair of scissors in my scrappy stash that is just for cutting ribbon. People at scrapbooking retreats probably roll their eyes at me if they ask to borrow a pair of scissors because I ask what they are cutting...after all I have regular big scissors, regular small scissors, non-stick scissors and my ribbon-cutting scissors...

I would also unpack. 6+ months is a long time of not crafting. I know I wouldn't want to wait that long if the choice was mine. ETA: If you decide to unpack, are there some things you could re-pack as you shuffle the boxes around so doing it a second time isn't quite so much? This was going to be my suggestion. Maybe unpack & reorganize (and purge if neceasary?) at the same time. By reorganizing maybe you can group thing by different categories such as "definitely want unpacked", "maybe might need", and "not sure I'll need, but I want to know where it is just in case". I scrap chronologically so I could easily not unpack certain themes/seasons. But I'll admit I'm a very eclectic scrapper so I understand thinking it would be hard to not need to unpack everything.

I love this month's kit too--and still don't need anything more travel/adventure products for our trip, but this is much harder to turn down than SC's July kits...

We are a little over half a mile away from what is called the neighborhood business area--coffee shop, restaurants, hardware store, yoga studio, banks, post office, etc. When my boys were little I would walk there while pushing them in a stroller. Now I don't walk there as much because our bank branch closed & life got busier.

My dad paid for pretty much everything from tuition, books and housing (he bought a house that 5 of 6 of us lived in at some point along with rent-paying roommates--the 6th went to school out of state). He paid for up to 5 years of school, anything beyond that we were responsible for.
DH's parents couldn't pay for any of his schooling, but he between scholarships and working for a neighboring farm during summers he was able to graduate with minimal loans. We paid those off about 5 years after he graduated.

For crafty inspiration--no one. I do follow a few companies, but mostly for information, not inspiration. I use IG for crafty inspiration (in theory) because you can easily save posts, but rarely do I go back and look at my saved posts.

I will probably look for the sunflower one because it will work good with a trip to the orchard ds & I took last fall when they had a sunflower field you could walk thru.
I love the zoo line (could also do without the pink, but its not as bad as other lines...) The card with the zebra sticking its head thru the word Zoo is annoying because it looks like "ZOG".
Winter ones are pretty, but I don't need them. Wedding is too pink, thankfully I have wedding supplies already before my sister's wedding this month. Barely looked at Gather at Home because I could tell its nothing I'd need ore use.
The day in the life is an interesting concept & could make a neat album, but I am not a fan of the color scheme.

I like Coke, Cherry Pepsi and Squirt, but very rarely have pop any more. When I do it's usually because I'm treating myself to a root beer float with A&W.

Both. Legally they can be sold anywhere in the state, but some cities have made it illegal to shot them off within city limits. It's only been legal to sell them for a few years now so there's a lot of people who are against them (at least here in the metro area), but that doesn't stop the rest of the people from shooting them off (legally or illegally). Having grown up in a state that allows them, I'm used to them and have no issues with them...except bottle rockets & the ones that do nothing but make a huge loud boom with no warning and no pretty colors.

Thankfully I don't like the July kits as much as I was thinking I might--and I'm not in love with any of the stamps either. I do like the new label sets, not enough to get the kit, but am considering some of the colors I use frequently.

We like to take things like a homemade sweet & salty Chex Mix, a bag of Cheddar Chex Mix, Twizzlers, gummy worms or jerky. I don't do a lot of chocolate, maybe Trail Mix because M&Ms are usually ok in the heat. I've been trying to eat better so I'll have to adjust what I pack for myself on our trip next month.
