Some Fun Stuff

I got inspired to order some fun things (treat things) for my 50th birthday challenge.  At first, I was drawing a blank on new ideas.  Zoom calls, walk with a friend soon (with social distancing), takeout, new nail polish color -- nothing that felt special, but still nice things to add to the week.

Then Etsy to the rescue.

I'll show pictures once things come, but here's a preview.

(1)  6 mismatched vintage dessert plates.  I like eating on smaller plates, but my dishes are large and heavy (even the smaller plates).  If I'm eating something too small for my dishes, I'd reach for a paper towel ... not anymore.  This should be a fun surprise.  And a nice way to serve dessert on mismatched plates too.

(2)  Vintage coffee floral coffee mugs.  Vintage means SMALL when we're talking coffee cups -- perfect for the espresso/americano I drink in the mornings.  Too small for my coffee mugs and too large for traditional espresso cups.

(3)  T-shirt.  I've been wearing my t-shirts so much they are pilling and quite worn looking.  This one says, "It's a Good Day to be Happy."

We ... and by "we" I mean hubby ... finished our last puzzle.  He totally hijacked my puzzling.  I gave up fighting him on it.  (I have a puzzle coming from Shutterfly, but not until May. )  I need something to fill brain/creative time so I ordered a book of Sudoku puzzles and an adult coloring book.  I'll give them a go -- both were cheap so no harm if I don't like them.  A little something to break up the afternoon that STAYS IN MY OFFICE.  No hijacking this.

I ordered a couple of books for hubby for Father's Day.  One on Starbucks and one on Winston Churchill.  He opened the Starbucks one -- dang.  Why did he do that?

That's a recap of my online shopping.  I'd imagine more to come -- I forget how much I like Etsy.

Hope you had a great weekend.  Yesterday was a bit of wonky day.  I gave youngest a haircut (I've got skills!!) and I GF baked all afternoon.  Then I ate way too many sweet treats and felt yucky.  Not against my challenge rules, but certainly not in the spirit of the challenge.  My eldest called -- they're moving the wedding to 2021 but the venue is refusing to accommodate.  They have a conference call this evening to see what can be worked out.  These poor kids can't catch a break.  They need some of their sunny day magic for this wedding.  Also, after I shaved youngest's head, I noticed a growth on his scalp.  Maybe skin cancer, hopefully not, but he needs to have it checked out if it doesn't go away on its own.  Dermatologist is closed, he's transitioning medical insurance ... so it has to wait a minute.  Maybe it's a birth mark/mole??  Wonky day -- lots of poo feels.

I finished Ozark's latest season.  Wow.  Just wow.  LOVED it.  It always takes me a couple of episodes to get back into it, but once it gets rolling ... so good.

Have a great day and stay well.  Later gators.
