Susan in TN Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Dd13 has a campout tonight with her scout patrol and it's going to get down to 26 degrees. Uff da. I believe they will be in a barn so maybe that will help. She has cold weather gear and about 26 layers of clothes, so she should be fine. We have to leave in about 15 minutes. Oh, it was so exciting at Publix this morning - I found a 27 AND a 28 pound turkey! I majorly annoyed my shoulder getting them into the shopping cart. Both of them are now in my deep freeze. (I really really really like turkey leftovers! ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have out our bedding back on the bed and have the next two laundry loads processing, plus I made tea and cleaned out the microwave. I'm not hungry yet, so I'm either going to read a book or watch a Christmas movie. Next time I come by (maybe next summer?) you can invite me to one of those taquerias.

Renai Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Let's see: I did a Walmart grocery pick up this morning. I think this will help cut our budget a bit. I'm keeping count, and will report back later. Dh's company had been cleaning out an estate, and he brought a lot of stuff from that house he thought I'd like. A LOT. In our 659 sq ft apartment. The apartment I'm trying to clean out. Anyway, I finally got through the stuff, picked out some stuff I liked (most of it was Christmas stuff), put aside things on a shelf and in plastic drawers I think I can sell, and took the rest of it to the Salvation Army thrift stores. There were a lot of thick gloves and mittens, and the SA will give those away to people who need them. From there, we went to the mercado to buy some atole and Gymnast's individual-sized chocolate coconut milk to take to school for lunch. We were supposed to stop by the herberia, but I forgot. Dh is coming down with something, so I need to figure out what herbs/teas I have so I can make a concoction. I'm tired. Tonight, I only teach two ESL classes: 5:30 and 8:10. What a bother. I also have a book challenge/launch meeting at 6:00. I need to prepare for the online mom's conference coming up in January, too. Record the presentation, and turn that in along with some other swag bag stuff. And I have recordings to do for the self-paced course I'm creating in Adelante Academy. I have a couple of beta students in there, which I did on purpose to push me to get it done...it's a spinoff of the book "28 Days to Family Language Learning." Anyone else want to beta test? Drop me message. I just got approved to exhibit at the state homeschool conference again, so hopefully I'll get a spot to do a workshop as well again. They said they got good positive feedback on my workshop last time. Now, I'm just tired. Maybe I'll take a 20 minute nap. Maybe not... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll go with I love you all and I think you're fabulous. Servant, 1K means one thousand words. I did the grocery shopping, the grocery putting away, the dirty dish washing, the people feeding, and I cooked 12 lbs of hamburger/Italian sausage mix and 3 lbs of plain hamburger to stash in the freezer, alongside the ten lbs of chicken I have in there already. None of the ground meat is seasoned, and none of it has veggies in it, so I'll be chopping and packaging vegetables and the rest of the meat I bought tomorrow. Along with finally getting to those gross bathrooms. I think what I'm going to do there is clean the toilets myself (because that's the only place I use harsh chemicals in my bathrooms), then outsource the rest of the tasks to various kids and just call it good enough. Current names being debated: Tevye, Malachi, Emmanuel, Isaac, and another one I can't remember right now because my brain is turning itself off. Middle name will be Duane or Laurence, because of family significance. Imma go watch Elf with my kids now. I love Christmas movie season! We kicked it off Veteran's Day with White Christmas.

Dh did say that he had to deny being about 12 other Mr. xxx x xxxx when he got our mortgage. I've never tried an image search.

If you spray it on the back of the patch and apply while wet, it's supposed to adhere permanently to most stuff, but if you let the spray dry (it'll still be sticky) it can be removed and readjusted like a sticker.

We're nowhere near a military base, although now that you mention it, yesterday was the 15th and a lot of places around here pay twice a month on the 15th and last day.
