Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...

Last Day and What I'm Reading This Week #11

♪♪  Oh happy day!  (Oh happy day!)  It's the Mr's last day!  (Oh happy day!)  ♪♪

Sorry, that's going to be sung on rotation all day today around these parts.    It always amazes me the true colors people show when someone moves on from a position in which everyone took advantage of them.  One day you're "brother" the next day, "you're dead to me" and they don't talk to you.  I am SO glad he's out of that environment and I can't wait for this new chapter in his career.  He told me two weeks ago that I made the news.  He said a welcome email went out to his new team and his new boss said: "I hear his wife makes good desserts!"  If that's not a hint and a half, I don't know what is!  You know what I'll be doin'  😉

Let's get to...

Stay safe y'all!

  1. If only my job could have been the way the last 2 weeks has been - 1 week of class and 1 week where I was considered a short-timer and not asked to do anything at all. I could have gotten used to that. Have a great weekend everybody. I know I will! Stay safe!

  2. Congrats to the Mr on the end of a dark season and the beginning of something FAR better!

    No big plans for the weekend. Hubs works tomorrow so I'll go to a meeting then grocery shopping. I've decided to fire up the old deep freezer that's been sitting in the basement for 20 years with loads of crap on top of it. I'll be cleaning that off and the inside and seeing if it still works. Other than that, the usual laundry and house stuff and plenty of pooch time. Have a great weekend and enjoy some down time if you can!
