Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Oh, I was tempted! 😊 I managed to keep my mouth shut.
This is my daughter that is the ‘diva!’
She is into fashion! Not so much, practical. She loves cute socks, cute slippers, etc.
She said to me, Well, it was so cold. I thought that I could go unlock the gate quickly and come back to my hot cup of coffee. Geeeez!
Live and learn, right? She isn’t in her apartment in Baton Rouge, Louisiana anymore!
She had a walk up apartment in college but didn’t deal with ice and snow on the steps!
She was saying that she finds it a pain to have to put on snow boots all of the time.
I bit my tongue. I wanted to say, “You moved to Colorado, honey!” LOL
I was kind, polite and kept my mouth shut because it sounds like her fall made her realize that slippers aren’t outdoor shoes in Colorado during snow season!
Glad your daughter is ok from slipping on the steps.
I will be glad when her lease is up. She has a new apartment building picked out with an elevator and indoor parking.
She said that she didn’t think she needed to put on her snow boots.
Wrong move on her part and she slipped. She’s sore, a bit bruised and said she will never try to go down the stairs in slippers ever again!
The slippers had slip proof soles but obviously they aren’t made for ice and snow.
My southern daughter is experiencing cold winter weather for the first time!
Suppose she would have had her dog with her!
He’s a strong dog. He pulls on the leash.
She is going to have to be more disciplined with her dog.
She does wear her snow boots to walk him.
I would do a deep cleaning too! I bet your uncle was grossed out.
What a great donation! Kids love sleeping with stuffed animals. I bet the kids at the shelter slept with them every night.
I don’t think that I ever got an animal out of one of those claw machines. You were good! I had to buy my girls stuffed animals.
No telling what else is in my attic.
My kids were so attached to certain stuffed animals.
So badly that if they had a sleepover at a friend’s house and they forgot to pack it they would call and ask my husband or me to bring it to them!
One or two of them were taken to college with them! LOL
They were practically rags by then. I sewed them up a few times. Once they were repaired they were happy again.
Those animals went from their beds to church pews, restaurants, sleepovers, movie theaters to universities!
I left a message for housekeeping to do a deep clean tomorrow.
Hahaha,
I bet your husband and sons had fun with their old toys.
I have to tell you that I did not like Ken when I was a young girl but I thought G.I. Joe was totally cool! 😊
When my mom asked me if I wanted Ken for my Barbie, I told her no because I used to take my brother’s G.I. Joe to be her date! 😄
I loved my brother’s Lionel train set, also hot wheels and match box cars. Oh, the Tonka trucks too!
My girls had a few matchbox and hot wheels cars too.
My girls did not want to get rid of any of their stuffed animals.
So my husband put them in the attic. Oh, remember the beanie baby phase? We have those too!
I do have a really special doll house that my mother in law assembled for my oldest daughter. It is gorgeous! It’s furnished beautifully too.
Their American girl dolls are up there. I have no idea what else of theirs is up there.
All of our Christmas decorations are in the attic.
You’re right, Bridger! We collect so much stuff, don’t we?
I did our closets awhile back. The attic is another story.
My girls are in small apartments so I don’t think they have the space for their stuff.
My daughter went out to her car a couple of days ago and it was buried under the snow!
Well, fortunately for her a guy in her apartment complex saw her and I suppose that he felt sorry for her. He saw another guy with a shovel that was shoveling the snow by his car and asked him to help.
Both guys shoveled her snow and placed her car mats under her wheels to get out of the parking lot. I didn’t know about that trick!
Anyway, she has found a new apartment building with indoor parking! So, as soon as her lease is up she will be moving. It’s higher rent, of course but I guess the taste of a ‘real’ winter made her consider how nice it would be to have indoor parking.
She says she loves Denver though. She recently visited an ice castle! The photos that she sent were gorgeous.
She certainly rescued the right dog in a shelter there. As you can see by my avatar, her Siberian Husky is well suited for the snow. She has sent me the cutest photos of him playing in the snow!
Then there was the revelation that putting a mask on before you go into the store is a problem when your hat covers your ears 🤔
The person who gave me a haircut admitted she has accidentally snipped more than one mask - oops
One positive (maybe?), no more worries about eating that poppy seed bagel or spinach salad and having something stuck in your teeth 😂
Also after being at my parents house for 2 weeks where it is in the low 40s during the day and now being back in California where it has been in the high 60s to high 70s, it feels like summer! Can’t complain.
Meanwhile in Ontario they "might" open the vaccine portal for those 80+ in mid March, stay tuned for updates.... 🙄
Glad you aren’t feeling terribly funky after your shot.
My husband did well with the first shot, so did I.
My husband felt a bit funky after his second dose.
Need -hope it is not delayed. So many uncertainties!
My arm is a little sore but nothing much more so far. Lots of nice sunshine today. Looking good! 😊
