Susan in TN Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Good morning! Did you get some relief from your exploding sinuses, Critter? What's happening with the chocolate chip situation, Whitehawk? I'm driving dd20 back to the university this afternoon. Sigh. Before that I'll take her grocery shopping and I promised everyone some boba tea while we play another round or two of Phase 10. I also need to make a phone call. I have only 1 more pound to lose to get to my pre-camping trip weight. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Good Morning! Happy Thursday! Dd11 has recently been very interested in learning French. Little Miss Me-Too (dd8) wants to learn Spanish. I know a little bit of both and have been working toward improving my skills (along with learning ASL). The two of them have been very interested in watching me "play" duolingo. With their "encouragement" I might be able to finish both trees by the end of the year. (I already finished the Spanish tree, but I'm working on it again.) Does anyone know if duolingo has an age requirement? They are both interested. Edited May 30, 2019 by Junie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Well now, what do you know?? iPad is letting me ITT. How gracious of it.🙄 I woke up at 5:30 am.😩 It is a lovely morning, though. I have all the doors and windows open to let in the cool air. Today our charter is having an end of the year party in a park in the Big City. So, we will be doing that and since Trader Joe’s is near the park I will stop there after and then we might as well go to Costco, since it is on the way home. It’s warming up today. Speaking of the weather, are we all surviving the tornadoes?? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I've got such a busy two days ahead that I am opting to do no housekeeping at all. Just going to try to stay afloat and keep everyone in clothes. I don't think I'll be good for much until Friday, and probably not good for much after that either. But Monday, I will crawl out from under the rock and go pick blueberries and blackberries. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 11 hours ago, Slache said: Where do I have a 2 X 3 poster printed inexpensively? Depends on your definition of inexpensive, but the cheapest price I found was VistaPrint, especially during one of their many many sales. I had to get up and out of the house early this morning. I went to meet someone to buy some science books. She lives really far but was going to be not-quite-as-far early this morning, so up and out I went. Turns out a friend of mine who I will see tomorrow at the picnic AND Tuesday at 4-H was also picking stuff up. We really should have coordinated but neither of us knew the other was getting stuff, even though we both posted on the same fairly short thread on Facebook. Oh well. I'm still being a total fail on my to-do list and I really need to get some crap done today. I have the picnic all day tomorrow, then dh wants me to drive down with him to visit his mom Saturday, then I'm doing a street fair Sunday. At the very least, I have to get done the stuff for the street fair. I really should get done stuff for classes next week, and I have to set up bookcases in the classroom so I can clear a bunch of stuff off my tables. I can pick up all except one of the bookcases today. I was thinking of going while dd is at TKD, but if I go earlier I can put them together today and have more time to fill them. Probably should do that. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I put my bookcases together. It wasn't too bad but I had to use a hand screwdriver and my wrist is killing me. It already ached due to the weather but screwing together two sets of cubes and two bookcases really sent it over the edge. Next I need to cut out enough squares of card stock and strips of mirror paper to make at least 50 kaleidoscopes. 100 would probably be even better, but maybe I'll start with 50. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Okay. A compromise. We have to decided, after lugging the bookshelf down into the car three times and to Walmart once that the return is not going to happen. I can't find a bookshelf I like for less than $100 so we are putting the bookshelf up in a different area and resticking it to the wall in a place that if it falls it will not fall on anyone, just lean against the couch. We will get me a new bookshelf eventually, but for now my books will not be in piles on the floor. Hopefully, by Saturday we will have all of the curtains up, the posters up in the kids room and all of the artwork up making our apartment complete! Three and a half months in... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laser Glare can be directed to their HQ in Chicago, too. (ICYMI: I ordered 5 lbs of chocolate chips and a few other items May 15 from the manufacturer's website, which says they normally get things out the door in 2 business days. They didn't ship until the 23rd. When I received that order, on the 28th, the chocolate chips had all melted and then re-solidified into a lump. I emailed them at once and have gotten no response. We are now at 15 days with no chocolate chips. #tragic) We beached. I missed some spots with sunscreen and got a little burned. I haven't driven that far in a long time (around 7 hours was my round-trip total today). Good day, though. Nags Head on a Thursday is lovely.

Junie Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Good Morning! Happy Friday! Headache. I might go back to bed. I was up pretty late last night. I tried a couple of times to go to sleep, but I just couldn't settle my brain. Eventually I just got up and watched part of a movie until I was finally sleepy enough. I watched Sabrina in French. I will say that doing duolingo this week and then watching the movie actually boosted my comprehension ability. It's still pretty poor, but I was able to pick out quite a few words. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 BOOKSHELF UPDATE! So. The price on the bookshelf I've wanted for years dropped last week so that after returning our broken one, my gift card and the price drop it would have been just over $20 out of pocket. Sold! So I ordered it and the next day Amazon was like "payment declined, use a different method." I figured I had the wrong billing address after moving or something so I called and they said I had insufficient funds. They told me to use a different card. I don't have another card. That's the card. That's where the money lives. They were even holding the money they claimed I didn't have. The price of the bookshelf went back up. They said I was welcome to buy it at the higher price. So it's like a week later and they're still holding my money. Hello? Well, I got an email this morning that my bookshelf will be here Tuesday! Squeeeeeee! Now. How to get Matt to actually return the other bookshelf... #startedwithso 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Homeschool End of Year Picnic today and it looks like it's going to be a gorgeous day. And I texted one of the board members (I think he's president now) that I spent a lot of time two years ago talking to about starting up my business because we were considering doing it at the lake but things didn't come together well, and he said he'll make sure the bathrooms are unlocked! Yippee! Even my anti-social son is looking forward to today. I have to hop in the shower soon, then run out to the store for snacks. Everyone is supposed to bring lunch for their kids and a snack/dessert to share. I think I'm going to get fruit and some chips. Chips just because I've been craving them and we have no good ones in the house. I pretty much only like sour cream & onion with ridges. Store didn't have them so dh bought some really weird flavors - pickle, and sour cream and cheddar. Yuck to both. I don't even like potato chips that much but when I want them, it has to be sour cream & onion with ridges. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 We're getting a new couch delivered tomorrow. Double power recliners. We haven't had a couch in ages, just a couple of chairs. We never have visitors over except my mom, and we have a super small living room with no good way to arrange things so the chairs worked better. But mine broke while dh was down with his mom, his hasn't worked in a while and I told him it might be time to get a couch again. I was pushing for no recline (since that's what keeps breaking down) and just get ottomans, but he didn't like that idea so it has reclines. We don't have any coffee table because of lack of space so the ottomans probably would have been in the way most of the time, I guess. Anyway, when dh is home I'm stuck sitting in my desk chair. It's nice, swivels, rocks, etc. but really not that good for watching tv. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
