I've gone through all my wish lists and added a few items. I've wavering on a few others that are cheaper than when I put them on the list, but do I REALLY need them? LOL

I have a new grandson, who is 8 years old (He's my son's girlfriend's son, but he's mine now). Last year was his first holiday experience with my family. He was talking about how much I decorate for Christmas, and someone mentioned to him that I don't decorate at all for Halloween. The child was appalled. LOL. So, this year, I will be decorating for Halloween. I'm having to start from scratch so I've been looking for the best deals I can find. My plan is to get a hodgepodge of stuff and let him help me put it where he thinks it should go .

Hoping everyone has a happy and safe independence Day tomorrow! My grands have gone to see several fireworks shows over the last week, so we will just be buying the little things they love like smoke bombs and poppers :). I also got some reusable water balloons that they don't know about. I see a secret attack headed their way . I just hope the "balloons" live up to their hype.

I saw videos the other night of lines outside Dick's Sporting Goods after the Thunder won the NBA Championship. I told my sister, I didn't want a t-shirt but I low-key wanted to be in that line. It reminded me of old school Black Friday. I'm sure glad I wasn't in that crowd at the parade today though :).

I love this! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, I'm ready when y'all are! I was this close to buying a set of Christmas dish towels off Woot earlier "just in case" they would go with what I need for SS this year .

Looking forward to Prime Day & Christmas in July next month! I got my shopping started yesterday with Fanatics and Walmart clearance sales, thanks to GottaDEAL . Ordered a few things from B&BW semi-annual sale that are cheaper now than they will be on body care day in December. I'm off to a decent start, but just still looking at all the blanks on my list .

I used to be a summer girl. But, man, we haven't even hit summer yet and I'm ready for the BER months!

We managed to get 1 mow in a couple weeks ago. As much rain as we've had though, by the time we can mow again we are going to need a brush hog. I was wondering earlier if they make a pontoon lawn mower, LOL.

Congratulations, she's a beauty! As for guilt, nah, sometimes we just have to show ourselves some love. Good for you!

My sister crochets. She has started 4 temperature blankets (I think is what they are called), one for herself and one for my sister, brother, and me. She's been using Joanns branded yarn. She said the yard from HL comes close to the same colors, but not exact. She's going to try to get as much yarn as she can, but it probably won't be enough to finish the blankets so she's pretty bummed about it too.

The end of February brought me grand baby number 7. I'm so in love with her.

Our company has been remote since 2020. After a couple years, it was pretty much a given that we would just stay remote. We got rid of a lot of office supplies and rented out half our building (there's a locked door that separates the 2). Now the owners are building new offices for all the companies under their umbrella and are saying we have to go back once the office is done. "We aren't spending this money on a new building for no one to work in it!". Then why build it??? I'm actually praying they will at least let us work a hybrid schedule.
