A new shark vacuum that has a brush that self cleans so that hair won't build up on it. (which is how EVERY vacuum I get eventually dies)
Yep....I'm excited about it too. Which means something is seriously wrong with me.
Oh did I mention it has swivel action too????
Ok, I'll stop now.
It's funny, that I rarely get to decide what I want to do on this day since other people make plans for me instead.
Isn't this a day I want to celebrate my way?
It's also the day I dread seeing what gifts I'm going to receive that I don't want or need. I'd rather they save the money and just say a greeting or come by for a social visit instead.
Hanging out with friends and having a good time is more important than a random gift you'll never use.
Then again, I think everyone feels this way when they're older.
Another reason I'm happy not to be on Facebook, because this way I'm not bombarded by congratulations from folks who had a bot remind them it was my birthday.
I enjoyed the artwork and the gameplay of "pushing" tiles for actions was decent, but when the opportunity arose for a trade, I didn't hesitate.
Regrets: It was a mediocre game and I have plenty that are better. It won't be missed.
May they always remain so close in the years to come!
So much fun that Meridian even thanked mom for "the best day"
I love my little girls!
My Aunt was able to provide me a picture of myself at her wedding decades ago!
Look at that guy. It appears I was also in her first wedding as well as her second! So that makes another Wedding I was in!
Pretty sure they told me to pose that way. Funny how I look like a husky version of my daughter Piper. :)
We're not too worried as parents at the moment because he has so much energy and smiles more than Ella does in an average day.
I love my mighty man and I know he's going to pull through this, but any prayers out there will be more than welcome.
She's only 3. I know this'll get worse as she gets older.
I wish Memom would've been able to see it.
Now that they're both gone, I wish I'd asked them more about their lives growing up. Family, friends and interactions they had. I never did that much of it, it was always me doing the talking about my life.
My advice, if you still have grandparents get to know what their early lives were like. You'll be glad you did once they're gone.
Last year we fell apart in a dismal 2nd half performance. It was embarrassing. Sure we have a different team from last year but I still can't shake the feeling the dominating performance is only short term.
Nothing would make me happier to see my Mets in the World Series again. At the moment, I think they could take on anyone in MLB, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens in July to see which Mets come to play.
They're hard to find in my area however. Only one gas station around the corner where I live is the only place I can find them.
I'm not switching my energy drink brand but it IS a unique flavor Bang drinks just don't offer.
If you love Twix, you need to try this. I think you'll like it.
Though not as bad as last season, this season only had one person worth cheering for and that was Jonathan.
But when he left it was a no brainer Mike was the clear winner. He orchestrated SO many votes and was directing the entire game almost the whole time, it isn't shocking anymore to see the person who did the least to rock the boat wins again.
Maryanne did NOTHING the entire season but laugh and be clueless on most of the tribals.
So she had an immunity idol and never told anyone....so what?! She didn't DO anything with it!? Like the rest of the game she just sat there and let the game play around her.
The one jury member she voted out didn't even bear the support of the tribe. She did it on her own. She was USELESS.
But that's what Survivor is. It's not about who deserves it the most but who hurt the least amount of feelings across the way to get to the end.
Survivor is about a big a joke as it's winners these days.
When Megan and I would visit, we'd drive down the road and they'd both ooh and ah over the houses there. Passed it on the way back from her funeral this week and thought about her again.
We came back with a lot of her old furniture so she'll always be a constant reminder of the good times we had with her when she was alive.
Regrets: None. Again, I have plenty of little filler games like this so I was happy to give it away.
But as I've said before, my collection has plenty of filler games and needed a few less so I traded this one away.
Regrets: It was fun to play, but looking at all my filler games at the time, this one was at the bottom of the list which made my decision to get rid of it, easy.
Regrets: At first there was, but now I'm over it.
Hardly any.
My pooch is down a little but still there and I believe my body has shut down in to starvation mode and is stubbornly holding on to whatever fat reserves I have left. It won't budge.
It's been screaming for more carbs which I won't do and even made me a little sick last night because it doesn't want to use the stored fat. It's been 20 years since I've been this thin.
So really this last week wasn't worth it. From here on out hard exercise is the only thing that'll do it and I plan to get on the workout videos next week when my energy levels are restored.
Overall, the diet was a success but unlike other times where I'm hesitant to get off the diet, today, I'm ready.
Lesson learned about skipping the diet in January. Never again. (unless I can control my weight better over the holidays.
But for now....it's time for a bowl of plain Cheerios with milk.
See ya!
I knew quickly after I had to dump it. Don't know why it loss so much love in over a year but it did. So I traded it away and moved on.
Regrets: None whatsoever.
My ultimate favorite memory of my Memom was the one that happened at Christmas 15/16 years ago when they came to visit.
My sister wanted a "nice" looking tree this year instead of our usual tree which consisted of us putting every ornament and light on it.
So for the entire season Charity got her wish and a "cleaner" tree reigned over the holidays.
Until the night before Xmas that is....
My brother, Memom and I got up in the middle of the night, went up to the attic and got all the decorations for our tree down and back on just before Christmas day.
Charity saw it that morning and bawled. We were laughing....everyone but Memom that is. She felt terrible and hated that she was a part of it. Paw Paw just gave her the evil eye the whole time, now looking back on it, it's really the best memory I'll have with Memom. From co-conspirator to regretful accessory in under 5 seconds.
