It is Color Play Friday and holy :holysheep:, these kits are Ah-MAY-Zing!! Seriously gorgeous, especially when scrolling one after the other in the HAPS. Each one had me drooling. They made me *almost* a little less bummed about the end of the summer. Not quite, but maybe I was so distracted by...

Bear with me today. I woke up thinking it was Friday. I no longer know what season it is cuz it sure doesn't feel like summer. It was 46° at 6 am. I'm here a little later than usual because I had to spend way too much time trying to schedule my Covid and Flu vaccines while you still can...

Today is gonna be a GOOD day! I say it and it will be done. *knocking on wood over and over again so I don't jinx myself* (Yes, I am using my knuckles, not my forehead. At least for now. ) :greengrin: I survived yesterday and all was well. Just some mild mood swings after my interesting...

National Dog Day | Celebrating Dogs National Dog Day https://www.nationaldogday.com Time for all of us to share some pictures or layouts of our dogs! If you don't have a dog, share a story/photo of a friend or family member's dog. If you don't have any of those, I am sorry :( BUT you can share...

Hellooo helllloooO! It is another very Autumn-y morning in NJ again. In other words, I am freezing my butt off, even wrapped in a blanket. It feels and looks like Fall. When I was scooping the dog poop yesterday, I had to rake through the dead leaves to make sure I found all of it. Everything...

And we are officially in the final stretch of August. That is so crazy to me! I know it is silly, but usually in the spring, I pull out my beachy candles and some of the seashells and shore decor. I'll scatter them in the kitchen and LR area and they make me happy. This year, I never got around...

Hey now, I warned everyone to never go by my days and dates! :floorlaugh: Sorry for the confusion- I think that subconsciously, I want everyone to be as muddled as I am. What better way to do that than mess up something as simple as what day it is? LOL! Today's day and date are correct. It...

:sweeping2: <~ My brain officially exploded and today I am cleaning up the mess. Holy cow, it was another off-the-rails day. I spoke to my friend more in the last 24 hours about stuff going on at the old house than I would have thought possible. The landlord has been threatening her and they...

Yay! It finally rained! It started yesterday afternoon, and it has been raining on and off overnight. My poor droopy plants will be happier, although I don't know if there is any hope for my lawn. The irony of the timing was kind of crappy. It doesn't rain for a month, and the one day it does...

Hello, hello! I made it through yesterday somehow, stress and exhaustion were kicking in hard but I survived. Let's see how I do today. I slept slightly better but have another big family issue I need to confront. So any sleep-benefit is a wash. Haha. At least I started my morning with a video...

:gloomy: Another night of crummy sleep, another day of a crummy mood. Blergh..... I started the day with a long meditation yoga session, which was very helpful. For as long as it lasted :D I did that, got my errands done, and then sat down to reply to my Sis-In-Law's email. I kept going back to...

Good morning and happy brand new week! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend and is well rested and ready to go. As for me... well... you know.... ;) I am in for an unsettled week on top of not great sleep and all those goodies that go along with it. You know how awesome I handle that...

It took me three tries to get the date correct up there ^. Three. Sheesh! (It is correct now, right??) First, I typed in August 17-18. Then I changed it to 16-18. Third time was the charm, 16-17. LOL I had a great day yesterday! I loved seeing the kids again and they were so dang excited to...

Hello, O-zies and happy Friday to you all. I slept pretty darn good again last night and no odd dreams that I can remember. I told Gary about the (non)Benjamin Moore paint disaster dream and he cracked up. I've been wanting to redo my tiny bathroom so maybe that is where that is coming from...

Hello! I am on Night #3 of extremely weird dreams. I feel like I am getting good sleep but my brain is having a hard time settling down. Unless it is trying to tell me something that I'm clueless about. Last night, I was repainting rooms in my house (totally *not* my house, the rooms were HUGE!)...

Welcome to the last week of the August Art Journal Challenges. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone's pages this month. However. Time for me to 'fess up. This month was very difficult for me. I honestly don't know why this was harder than other months' topics but for some reason, it was...

Hey there, everybody! How are you doing today? I slept very well, aside from some strange dreams. I am still tired, though. Maybe it's just that the coffee hasn't kicked in completely. :waiting: Yesterday was "a little of this, a little of that" kind of day. Spot on: Gary helped me with...

Good morning, O-Fam! I am enjoying sitting and drinking coffee ATM since I was on my feet for almost 8 hours straight yesterday. Most of that was outside in 87* and humid weather. It was one of the first days I got home from work, took off my boots, and really felt how tired my feet were. I was...

Sit down. Sit down, my friends, because you are not going to believe it. The forest bathing walk went amazingly well. I know, right? Are we all shocked? :floorlaugh: I was a little nervous when we first started, but as soon as I did the opening meditation, I was good to go. Wooo hoo! Go, me!! I...

:dancingbfly: And I am so proud of myself that I gotta shout it from the rooftops! Yesterday, I led my first Forest Bathing Walk at work, and I think I nailed it. I was nervous when the director asked me to do it a few weeks ago. My coworker, who has created/led this program for the last 2...
