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...
I am all for the ongoing productivity push too. What else can we get into. I am glad I got the Christmas lights down off the house and boxed up for next year. I usually wait for a mild day but I am actually happy we have had more snow days lately so it was just fine taking things down in stages so I could warm up in between. Happy Friday everybody!
ReplyDeleteOf course I woke up today like "yeah...no." That walk around the cemetery took it out of me yesterday for some reason.
DeleteI am a long time member of the Procrastinators Club. When I finally accomplish something that's been niggling, wowza. I cleaned out and organized the freezer this week, because I KNEW there were chops in there, but where? Now everything has a place, and I know what we have, feels great. I swept and mopped, then made a perfect cup of pour over coffee...opened the cupboard to put the coffee filters away, and a jar of peanut butter jumped out, landed on my coffee, and dang it, why right after I mopped the floor?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see I'm not the only member of the club! You're giving me ideas with the freezer. I wonder what I would find in mine!? Awww, you poor nugget! That is exactly the kind of thing that would happen to me. Then you just kind of break the fourth wall of the camera that is shooting the show of your life and are like "really?"
DeleteJust finished grocery shopping, so now it's finishing up the two load of laundry that are left and continuing to pitch crap that I don't need or want anymore. Then it's work the rest of the weekend. Enjoy a nice productive weekend and some good walks outside!
ReplyDeleteHooray for groceries and laundry being taken care of! I need to follow your lead on pitching things but I feel like I'd pitch the whole house if I got in the right mood! I hope your work is much better than the previous 10 days and you can breathe a little better.
DeleteNo big plans this weekend. I might go see a movie this evening since my local theater just reopened and Id like to support them. Or I might just stay home because it'll be dark and cold and my couch will be soft and warm. Yesterday was my one Friday a month that I have to work so my weekend is already 1/3 shorter.
