Hump Day Poll: Newsworthy?

source If that brings you warm fuzzies, you're welcome.  If you don't know what the heck that's referring to, then you might be too young to understand most of my references here and should probably brush up !   We are going on year 9 of not having watched the news.  I remember the last time we went to Kauai in 2016 (holy crap, that makes me want to cry) we didn't watch the news once and couldn't believe how much happier we were.  We decided to see how long we could push it and here we are almost a decade later.   It's enough to be inundated on internet sites on the hourly with the latest dumpster fire lit that should have nothing to do with the kind of stuff it's reporting but to voluntarily watch the news just is not something I have in me.  I rarely watch live tv because of the commercials (well more commercials) but I left it on once a few years ago when a show I was watching went live and the news came on right after.  I wasn't watchin...

What I'm Reading #47

Wow...#47 means there's like five weeks left of the year.  Yeesh!!  Time marches quickly, doesn't she?  I was pretty productive this week even if I didn't get things done quite as fast as I thought I should've.  I made my mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving and froze them.  I dried the bread for homemade stuffing (sweet bread and sourdough) and got my pie crusts made.  I got my Christmas cards addressed and stamped this week which feels like a huge load off.  

Anyhoo...let's load up on...

  2. Good for you for getting a lot done!! I've had a pretty productive week as well, and today my list has grown to numerous stores to bang out all in one outing, so I'll be amongst the masses today. Our boy pooch has to have a dental cleaning on Monday as well as removing a lot of excess gum tissue (some breeds are more prone, but they don't know what causes it) so I'm a wee bit stressed about that because they have to knock him out. But I think he'll feel a lot better having it done. Poor fella. Because I have to work next Wed, I'm going to go see my uncle tomorrow for Thanksgiving since next week is now out. So I'll go to my meeting first, then head out to the burbs. The hubs has to work, so we'll do grocery shopping on Sunday after we drop the mutts off at the groomer's for some scrubbin' time. My hope is to have just about all of my Christmas shopping done by this weekend, most of which is today.
    Enjoy a fabulous weekend! And pat yourself on the back for getting a huge amount of things done!
