    @mom31257that sounds great-have a safe trip.

     

    All I am putting on the list today is:

    Paint

    I'm sure I will do other things, but painting is front and center!!

    Well, I have painted quite a bit, and cooked Moo Shu Pork. I hope to have 3 walls complete tonight. Touch ups can be so time consuming. I can touch up until kingdom come, and I will still have paint where I don't want it. At some point, I just have to say, Enough!!

  2. DS is 29, so yeah, no fun kid gifts. He got cash for his birthday. I do still get him an ornament every year-I thought I would be stopping that, but he let me know he wanted to keep it up. And the stocking stays, but  I need to put things in it besides candy, since he is battling his weight. We will be keeping our tradition of  Turkish Delight, which we started getting after he read Chronicles of Narnia.

    Yes, you are right. It's sad, but being together is the most important thing.

  3. We don't buy much. I ordered DS some house slippers, and I will fill his stocking. Dh and I share a stocking, but I will buy him a gift. Parents and sister won't be exchanging gifts. It got to the point with my parents that we were trading money back and forth, so we decided to end it. I get them a Mother's Day/Father's Day gift. My sister and I exchange birthday gifts and sometimes Christmas.

    I'm not sure what else to get DS, and the only thing I can come up with for dh is a picture of our favorite beach. Was intending to do that for anniversary, but I was down with my foot surgery at that time.

  4. I had it done to me. I really can't recall the exact things they did, but my dad provided the key. I thought it would be safe with him, but he had too much to drink, I guess. 

    Something else that was done: Someone "kidnapped" the bride, and a ransom was raised for her return. Of course, the money was given to the couple for their honeymoon. I am from a small town, and I have even seen the police involved in these adventures, just for fun of course. At my wedding, my suitcase was kidnapped, and money was raised to get it back.

  7. If I get one wall completely finished of the room I am painting, I will be satisfied. I need to get a smaller brush. I'm just not real happy with how it's looking. For some reason, it doesn't look sharp and finished.

    Update: I got one wall completed!!

    Oh, I can be specific.

    A warm beach with fine, white sand! Ocean that is all shades of turquoise with no icky red seaweed. A place to stay where I can see and hear the ocean, where I do not have to cook (unless I want to) or clean. Warm sun, a stack of books, good company and conversation for the not-reading-books times. A hammock. Fresh seafood, plenty of sleep, board games and movies for rainy days, and no schedule. 

    What she said-however the beach we usually visit does not have white sand. We still love it!!

    A robot vacuum. I don’t think I can resist temptation much longer. I don’t even have kids or pets. I just want cleaner floors than I have and I’m unwilling to sweep more often. 

    Probably on a black Friday Amazon deal. I got mine half price on prime day, and I love it!!!

    @math teacher Brave you, put shopping on Black Friday! 
     

    I’ve been to the grocery. Need to eat a snack and start cooking dinner. 

    It really wasn't busy. We went to Barnes and Nobel, and I went to Hobby Lobby, Marshalls, Ross, and Home Goods. Only bought something from Hobby Lobby and the bookstore, and no longer line than usual.

  14. @Ausmumof3 sorry about your kitchen and having to piece it back together. 

    @Rosie_0801 Glad you got the fly. I've been swatting them like crazy. Dh put up a strip to catch them yesterday. 

    My minor annoyance is painting around all the stuff in the bedroom I am re-doing. I did move the stuff off the shelves I use for a pantry and dh took out an ugly shelving unit and put it in his shop. But, the bed and all the other stuff, I am just working around. 

  15. I am done as far as what I will take to my sister's house. I made creamy Cranberry coffeecake, apple cake/praline frosting , carrot cake/cream cheese frosting, pumpkin pie, white Chip Maple cookie/some frosted.

    I still need to make dinner-a potato and sausage dish and a vegetable to go with it. I was thinking of having leftover potato salad, but I just realized I can't serve potatoes two ways. I have some eggs boiled, I could turn them into deviled eggs. We probably will have some of those tomorrow, but there will be plenty of other food as well. 

    I have about one fourth of my painting done, so I will be working on that on and off.  Still need to fold  a load of laundry.

  16. @WildflowerMomI hope you feel better soon!!

    Good morning everyone!! I have all my desserts cooked except the cookies. The plan for today:

     

    make cookies and frost half of them-dh doesn't like things with powdered sugar (too sweet he says)-done

    paint some more

    clean out the car-done

    call my friend I couldn't reach yesterday-done

    laundry

    hang up some clothes-done

    cook dinner-a sausage dish I think

    Bible reading and prayer

    clean the kitchen windows

    clean the oven

    clean the kitchen
