I've ordered a few toys. Haven't seen much to get excited about though. There was a game I've had in my wish list that was on sale this morning. It was only $3.00 off the regular price, but of course the item page showed it was $9.00 off. I hate it when they do that and I would have no idea if I hadn't already been looking for/at that game. But $3 is $3, so I ordered it.

It says you will see your credit at checkout. I'm not sure though, I have placed an order since earning the $10 and did not see it. **Edit - I read the fine print and the $10 only applies to items that are "sold by Amazon". The order I placed was a 3rd party seller. I found an item in my wishlist that is sold by Amazon, and sure enough it shows the $10 credit. You do have the option to uncheck that box at checkout if you don't want to use the credit yet.

$10 is $10. I always buy SOMETHING on Prime Day, so that's a cool little perk.

Went searching for Amazon Prime Day and it looks like we're back to July this year. I personally like that better. It lines up with Christmas in July and gets me in the holiday mood. Then I will be in Christmas mode for the rest of the year .

Downhill slide to my favorite time of the year!

May means something different around here. We've had 2 severe weather days this week, and May has barely gotten started. One little town East of me got hit by a tornado both days. They didn't even have time to clean up from Monday when boom Wednesday hit. I'll be honest and tell you I love the adrenaline of severe weather. Even when it gets scary, it's a little exhilarating. But I sure hate to see the destruction.

In case I don't remember next Thursday, Happy Birthday!

Good job, Mom!

It's 75° today, but since the front of my house gets no sun there's still ice on my sidewalk. And it's slightly melty ice, so it's slicker than snot! I just about bit the dust trying to get back inside earlier, LOL. Then I poured hot water on it and hammered it with a broom to break it up - and broke the broom! Ah, well, it'll melt eventually.

I went through my list of orders for 2021, and figured $5 for every order under $25. I came up about $10 short of the new Prime price. For me, it's worth $10 a year to keep my music in Amazon Prime so I will renew this year. When they increase it again in a couple years, I might rethink it.

I'm not looking forward to this wintery mess headed our way! At least I work from home, so aside from an eye dr appointment tomorrow afternoon, I shouldn't have to get out in it. On the other hand, my son has had a trip to Texas planned for a while (his best friend lives down there), and because he thinks he's bullet proof I'm probably not going to be able to talk him into postponing it (he's 26, so it's not like I can just tell him he can't go).

Happy Birthday!!

It always hurts my heart a little to log on and see the BF forums have been archived. On the other hand, one of my favorite days of the year is the day I log on and see that they're back! Can't have one without the other, I guess .

Happy New Year!

Y'all stay safe tonight! And, RIP Betty White. I know it's weird to be so sad over the passing of someone I never met, but this one got me .

Not everyone checked in, but 1 person that didn't also never sent tracking #s, so I guess she just doesn't do notification. 1 other SS and 1 OE went out really late so the ornaments just arrived yesterday and only part of the SS has been delivered. I'm sure they will check in when they can.

Happy Christmas Eve Santas! 'Tis the season for the big reveal. Listed in alphabetical order by recipient... Secret Santa - OE - Thank you all for making this fun again this year! If I don't talk to y'all again this weekend, my prayer is that you all have a safe and very Merry Christmas!!

I have not had any trouble with it.

I can't see your picture

finished wrapping yesterday. Just 2 days at work this week. Then I'm off for a week and a half. Man, I'm kinda wishing I'd gone ahead and taken off these next 2 days as well .

We have just a couple packages left to arrive at their destinations. Unfortunately, I don't have tracking #s for them, but hopefully they arrive on time. We have 1 other SS recipient that has not notified us that she received her package, so I hope she got it.

Today is wrap day, then I'm done. Then I will wait impatiently all week for my kids to get here next Saturday to open presents. It's going to be a long week.

Santa came, and boy what a bounty! I got B&BW lotions in both my favorite scents, a bottle of B&BW spray hand sanitizer (pro tip - use that in your masks!) a Sonic gift card, some BBQ pullers, and some delicious homemade peanut clusters. And not to be left out, Icarus (dog) got some Beggin strips. You are already his favorite person! Thank you Santa (Mama Reinholdt1). I feel so blessed.
