Kelsa Kayanne, wins the cutest girl contest! She is watching Coco Melon a cartoon for babies. Grandpa has her out for a walk right now. It is warm here today about 45 and she is well wrapped. Hubs has to go pickup Schmills this afternoon from school and they will spend the night as Schmills has no school tomorrow. Daughter running fever from shot. When she was a baby, we had to give all her baby shots in 1/2 or 1/4 doses as she always had a bad reaction.
I am a little blue about Todd's death, he was only 66. I thought he was Hub's age. It is just so young. But I know in my heart that him living in constant pain and unable to move was not a good life. I am just sad about it.
I really need to get busy today and get some phone calls made and some sewing done so I have some money for next week. I have another wedding dress coming in Thursday morning.
I am going to make banana nut muffins with Schmills either today or tomorrow. I have extra overripe bananas and still working on one bag of the 6 bags of nuts I have in the freezer.
SO many of you have posted dishes with rice, and I am craving a rice dish today. I might do up some fried rice for dinner.
They need someone to feed the missionaries, but I am so out of ideas. I guess I can ask them what they want. That always helps.
You all know I watch many vlogs, or I should say I listen to vlogs on my phone while I am sewing. Mostly this is to judge and make fun of them in my mind. I know bad Kim. I just cringe when I listen to this one woman who describes her Hauls. (Spending money and buying things and then displaying them) This was only $3.99; this was only $4.99. For some piece of stuff(crap) one really does not need. I am thinking $3.99, yikes! $4.99, double yikes! I really have a hard time spending money on stuff. Now don't get me wrong, I love shopping and I love stuff. But I don't need stuff and it is wasteful to a point. I am happy with the stuff I own and there is too much of it.
When did we become a society of stuff? Oh, by the way speaking of stuff!!!!! I won Sluggy's box, so I get stuff. 😀 I get peppermint patties and stuff. So excited. Okay I love stuff if I don't have to pay for it. There that is a good way of describing it.
Well, enough complaining and explaining Kim needs to get to work.
On today's list:
1. call meal coordinator for missionaries
2. call clients for pickup
3. figure out what's is for dinner
4. alter a wedding dress for a fitting
5. alter a pile of clothes
6. make a pillow cover
7. alter or start altering a large pile of things.
8. pile of missionary mending
9. alter a dress
There now let's get Kim off her butt and get her butt into her shop to get some work done.
Do any of you watch vlogs? Do you cringe at people spending money on things that you would never spend money on? Does it make your mind hurt? Is Kim damaged in some way? Sissie, Anne and Slugs are not allowed to answer this question.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are int the negative.
Kim😁
no vlogs... no freaking way I am starting that.
ReplyDeleteAww come on just one and then we can make fun of people who are not like us.
DeleteNope I did try to watch one or two, but found them to be very repetitive.
ReplyDeleteHope you figure out something for supper.
God bless.
Oh they are but so is sewing the same thing every day. Actually it was every man for himself last night, kind of weird.
DeleteCaught me. I love vlogs- it's how I know just how out of fashion and style me and my house are. I find many though that are little gems and I can't fault the extra income they bring in. I love vlogs that include walking tours, and visits to car boot sales or charity shops, a day in the life. It is all so different from my life. It's the " influencer" crap peddler I cringe at though.
ReplyDeleteI love the flippers, and the charity shop vlogs, but I too cringe at the influencers. What a bunch of nonsense.
DeleteI have a couple of simple living blogs I like. Like you, it drives me crazy the way people waste hard earned money on stupid things. I sit and think - how long did someone have to work to buy that piece of cr*p?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy simple living vlogs also. It is nice to see some normal or what I would call normal people out there.
DeleteI am on and off watching vlogs. I had a friend who spent that way--"only" costing so much. She frittered away her small amount of money. And, I watch videos and do cringe. I tend to watch people sewing, young, very young women teaching people how to sew. I am glad I learned to sew before the internet. They call the selvage the salvage; pressure foot instead of presser foot, etc. It goes on and on. THAT makes me crazy!
ReplyDeleteI watch very few sewing vlogs, but I love vlogs that flip furniture.
DeleteI don't watch/listen to vlogs. I hate to shop. I go to the grocery store as seldom as is reasonable to eat well. (I've spent $107 on food this month.) I would much rather travel with my money........which means I'm not spending much ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, on the occasion I see a blog post about all the stuff purchased, using coupons, using those rebate programs, and the piles of crap I wonder how on earth they can possible use all the crap. Some bloggers do this every stinkin' week. What do they do with it all? And the time lost? I will never understand.
I just shake my head and it fascinates me. I think they haul it all in and then haul it all back to the store after they blog about it. Maybe?
DeleteI watch a view vlogs, but I am pretty selective.
ReplyDeleteWell as I am working in the shop, a new one kicks in and I don't want to stop so I get to peruse many things I would never have the chance to if I was just looking for something to watch. Let me tell you there are some nuts out there.
DeleteI'm watching one right now! A PinkClothLife cash stuffing/savings challenge. Sometimes I watch budget planning etc, sometimes cleaning channels, day in the life, abandoned houses, stoeage and organization. Those "Hauls" are something else. It's rumored that some of the vloggers do tve haul, Film it and then return most of it to the store!! But dome of them make a crap load of money filming their hauls.
ReplyDeletewow, sorry about all the typos!
DeleteI love cash stuffing vlogs. I have learned so much about saving money from them. But the hauls always get me.
DeleteI do like you do and mainly "watch" while I work in the kitchen.(So I just listen)
ReplyDeleteI like to watch people who do clothing hauls, which is kind of funny because I am anything but fashionable. How many clothes do people need? These are young women who must order clothes every day because they always try on at least 4 outfits per haul.
And I think you are perfect!
I get hauls of clothes from my Sissie. She dresses me, thank goodness or I would look like raggedy Ann. Notice I used Ann instead of Anne?
DeleteSuch a cutie she is!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch many vlogs. If I do they are usually about life in another country. I despise the word 'haul'. I don't know why but it just makes me crazy.
You I think it makes me crazy also. You haul dirt or gravel not clothes,
DeleteShe is the cutest!
ReplyDeleteI don't really watch vlogs since the few that I watched seemed annoying. But maybe I haven't found the right ones?, so if you want to share any that you enjoy, I will check them out. :)
I like vlogs of people refinishing furniture, or remaking something. There are several just type in what you are interested in and then peruse.
ReplyDeleteI love watching/listening to vlogs. I tend to watch more of the money saving/frugal/non-spending ones. They help me stay on track with my own journey. Still paying off our car...we are making slow, but steady progress.
