It Was The Worst Of Times, It Was The Best Of Times…

That headline sums up my day quite nicely! LOL! It started out unassumingly and then progressed to get worse before it got much, much better. My daughter called and needed gift bags for her co-worker’s gifts, a robe gift box and a portable mini speaker she bought for her husband. Then my DIL called... Sign in to see full entry.

Man Alive, It’s So Cold In My Neck Of The Woods!

I live in a high desert and I make this sacrifice of sweltering heat in the summer to get a mild winter. But, that is not the case of late. I stayed inside most of the day because I could not get warm. Then I had to go to the store this evening and there was frost on my windshield. I suspect it has... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi Ho Hi Ho, It’s Off To Shopping I Go,Er, I Went, Hi Ho Hi Ho

I had told my daughter I would go with her today to keep her company while she finished her Christmas shopping. She basically had stocking stuffers and an exchange gift for her Christmas party and a white elephant gift. I got an email that I had a reward with JC Penney! No wonder with all I’ve spent...

The News Was Not So Good On My Chromebook

I went to Best Buy and purchased a new flashdrive to download the the OS from Chrome. I then followed the instructions for recovering the OS but it didn’t seem right! It said on the screen that it would take a few minutes but two hours later nothing was happening. I abandoned it for the night. This... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Not A Fan Of Technology

My Chromebook sent me an OS message. My hard drive is corrupted or missing. When it happened before I was able to turn it off and back on and it corrected the problem. Not so today, yikes. I don't have a flashdrive that I can use to download what I need to recover the OS. UGH! I borrowed my... Sign in to see full entry.

Not Painting The Town Red, But Lighting It Up Anyway!

My son-in-law came by around noon today and replaced a string of lights on my roof. It seemed like the easiest way. But, the easy way is not always perfect. The new string of lights happened to be a foot too short! I can’t figure it out because they were purchased at the same time. It really doesn’t... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Hanging Out At My House But I Wish I Was Doing Something Else!

We have a storm heading our way and the weather is going to change dramatically. It’s much to my chagrin but Jessica and SIL, Chris, are stoked as can be! They are skiers and can’t wait to hit the slopes. I sent her a text yesterday after I read in the paper that their hill is planning to open in a... Sign in to see full entry.

Just When I Thought I Was Done Christmas Shopping...

I have discovered that when I have time on my hands I am very dangerous for my credit cards! LOL! I have two credit cards that are dedicated to purchasing Christmas presents throughout the year. I look for deals, buy a little at a time so I can pay them off without carrying a balance. That ended... Sign in to see full entry.

It Was Supposed To Be 6,000 But It Turned Out To Be 10,000 By 3:00 p.m.

As I said yesterday I was going shopping with my daughter. We decided to go to the mall first. She had her list and we went into shop after shop without much luck! She was looking for Chicago Cubs world series memorabilia. Her uncle is a ‘cradle fan’ so to speak. {My biological mother was a Cub fan.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Show Must Go On...

I managed to get out and read some blogs last night! It was great, I didn’t realize how much I missed reading folks until I got started! Most seem to be doing quite well and that’s always refreshing. Some need prayers and I have them on my list! With the Lord leading the I am confident changes will... Sign in to see full entry.
