  3. I am totally not feeling it this year. I might feel better after the election is over. But I still have a lot of dr. appointments on the horizon.

    Luckily my buying list is short because I am not excited about buying anything larger than a flowering plant.

    I did find an amazing photo I am going to get copied and framed for my BIL.

    Hope we get tons of snow this year but that is not forecast either.

  4. Delivery snafus have started already!  We got in someone else's Walmart package.  It had the correct address (I think) yet, delivered to me.  I was kind enough to deliver it properly, but I'm not sure how many people will actually take the time to properly deliver especially if it is pretty far away or if they kinda like what you ordered.

     

    If you call the carrier back (UPS/Amazon/Post Office) do you think they will come get it from you or show up at the wrong house?

     

    I got my next door neighbor’s package and both our house #s are clearly marked. Was not to far to walk;).  (Amazon)

  5. Yesterday this non-baker took on a new baking project for Break Fast after sunset tonight. Here is my first ever chocolate babka, and done in a shape of a star.

     

    Recipe is from Frum It Up. She posted it on YouTube, but I had to email her for the written instructions.

    That looks amazing. Bet it taste great too. Happy baking.

  6. I kind of feel like doing gift cards or cash this year.  Jeff Bezos has profited so much from this pandemic and treats his workers poorly so I would like to spend my money elsewhere, but it is hard to get away from their selection and speed of delivery.  I would love to support brick and mortar stores more, but I have been avoiding public spaces as much as possible.  I don't really like going into stores in a good year....

    Thats why I do a lot of Walmart.com.  Very speedy shipping here but I dont think it is usually next day. Some of our friends work at walmart too and they are great with grocerys. Ymmv

  7. First time poster here. Used a site that was just shutdown. It’s nice to see activity on here. I’m looking forward to seeing how this year plays out. I like the idea of starting sales earlier. However I know that’s a really easy way to overspend.

    Hi Blueredzone. That was the only other site I frequented. Welcome, it is friendly here.
