Stuff & Things

*A 2 hour delay for school can cause a lot of damage & messes. Only 2 hours. Making bath bombs is messy business. Tara's new thing.

*I'm a lipstick addict. I can't stop buying lip products. I want to try the Burt's Bees Lipsticks. I haven't tried them yet, just the tinted glosses. These are just the lip products in my purse.

* I've been trying to write in my journal again. I usually do that before I go to bed. It helps with my thoughts & calm my mind & feel positive before I go to bed.

Stuff & Things

*We had 2 snow days this week. Tara is home today & really bored. Our new tv in the living room isn't working. We were lucky & were getting snow once a week, so it would melt. But this week it seems like we are getting snow every other day. We're suppose to have snow Saturday, Sunday & Monday morning. I'm not a fan of Winter & I don't like snow. I don't ski or snowboard or any of that. There is a 2 hour delay for school tomorrow. We're suppose to get about 12 inches.
*Face time is driving me crazy. My daughter set up her face time to talk to her friend, so everytime I turn around she is in the room with us. lol. I think all she hears is me nagging in the background.
*I haven't been shopping in a while. I really miss it. The snow makes us have to be stuck in the house. I might try to make it to the mall tomorrow. I need some new moisturizer.

Stuff & things

--Things have been busy around here. Tuesday T went to a yoga class for tweens & she got to make a bracelet with essential oils.
--Last night we ended up at Grand opening of a new bar & grill in town. It was packed & so loud, but it was the 1st night. I'm sure things will calm down. The food was really good & cool atmosphere
--I'm achey as Hell right now. I'm hoping it's not the weather causing it because it's only September & it's not that cold. If so it's going to be a long Winter.We had the heat on a few times in the morning this week. It was 39 1 day.
--Kizmet (our cat went to the vet for her yearly check up. She was trying to open the drawers & the door, she was trying to open the door by the doorknob. The vet thought she was interesting & sassy. Well that is her middle name.

Stuff & Things

* This week was a lot of fighting & arguing. Things are getting rough around here. 27 days until school starts. Just remember that. Life will get back to normal. Schedules & plans & peace & quiet during the day.
* Tara did a Summer camp this week called Nature crafts. She made some cute things. A dream catcher, some river stones, pine cone painted roses, & an owl.
*We went to my friend's house on a lake, so we went in the water. I just put my legs in. It was such a nice day. Beautiful sunny day. We hung out with her 4 pet rats. They are really cute.
* I'm looking forward to Hubs & Drama Queen going away camping, so I can get some scrapbooking done. Just have some peace & quiet. It's hard being a stay at home Mom in the Summer. Keeping kids busy & not bored. Long days.
* So Glad that "Bachelor in Paradise" is back on.

Stuff & Things

* This week has been crazy/busy & really kind of weird. Tara had strep throat & fell off of our bed last night. I took her to the doc this morning & she said that she might have a slight concussion & a slight sprained neck. Geez, Poor kid, she's had a rough week.
* I've been missing my cat JoJo that passed away in September. It's been 4 months & this week I've just been crying a lot thinking of her.
* I finally got some Happy Mail today. Mail has been so slow lately. I'm pretty caught up in mail too.
* I'm sick of doctor appointments. I spent $125 for co-pays this week & special eye drops included. I really want to take next week off from appointments & I'm hoping to not schedule any appointments for March.

Stuff & Things

*Christmas is getting so close & I'm kind of panicking. I'm not sure why I'm panicking because we only have a few presents to buy this weekend. Tara is counting down & so excited & as she's counting down I'm thinking, yay it will all be over soon. Just not feeling the Christmas spirit this year. I am looking forward to her opening her gifts & seeing Kizmet playing with her new gifts.
* I finally finished the book that I've been ready for the past few months, called "Remnants of Murder" by Elizabeth Lynn Casey. I'm kind of glad to be done with the book. It wasn't all that exciting. Even though there was a murder.
* I haven't been doing much shopping lately. I know a shocker huh? Just haven't felt like dealing with crowds & noise & all that other stuff that gets us fibro people going. I was thinking of trying to go to Target & Barnes & Noble tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I will or not.

Stuff and Things

* First off, I am still sick. I've been staying inside & resting for the past few days. I did a little cleaning yesterday & would like to organize a bit today. Hoping to feel good enough tomorrow to get out & do a few errands. I need to get to the post office & the library.
* More sad news/shootings this past week. Colorado & then San Bernadino. It scares me for our children & our future. So I thought I would post a few happy things that I have seen online lately.

Stuff & Things

*I got some stuff from Lush recently. I'm really enjoying them. I got a shower jelly named 93,000 Miles. It has eucalyptus, peppermint & cinnamon. & I got a pink peppermint body lotion. It smells really good.
* Kind of ready for Thanksgiving. Or we could just skip it. No biggie to me.
* We don't have that much coming up. Not sure about any cookie swaps, or the nutcracker or New year Eve parties.

Stuff & Things

* Reality tv~I'm really sad that "Bachelor in Paradise" is almost done. 1 more week. I need to find a new fave reality show.
*Getting organized~I got a Lilly Pulitzer agenda today. I want to start decorating it each week. I love to plan things, having a cute planner will help.
*Free time~School started yesterday & I started doing a few things that I enjoy that I didn't get to do much of over the Summer. Scrapbooking, organizing & getting rid of stuff. Next week I'll start yoga. Half day tomorrow & no school on Monday though.

Stuff & Things

* I'm really really looking forward to school starting. It's been a long Summer. I love Summer, but school being out for 2 months really isn't cool.
*Shinedown is playing in Portland, Maine, trying to decide if we should go. Long ride, late night & of course I'm going to want to hang around & try to meet them. Not sure why they haven't played in NH. They did Boston on a Monday night & now Portland & this is a Tuesday night.
*Hubs colored my hair a few nights ago & it's so much darker than my real hair color. I've been using this color for a long time, but I want to find something that is closer to my own color that will take & only be a little bit darker than my own color. I thought of going burgandy, but when my reddish, golden, coppery roots come in, I think it will look horrible.

Stuff & Things

  I'm already hooked on "Bachelor in Paradise". I know, I know. Not sure what my problem is & the reality shows. I realize that they are so bad, some of them, but I think that's what I like about them. I'm so not like any of these people. I would never kiss 2 or 3 guys in 1 night.
 Loving all the back to school stuff that are on sale right now. I got some glitter gel pens & they really work. I want to go to Staples. I haven't been there in about a year. I love looking at all of the stuff that they have there.
  Pilates~I'm back to doing pilates. Yay, I really love doing pilates. It feels so good having fibro & stretching, but it make my neck ache a bit. Trying to do some of my own yoga moves too along with it.

Stuff & Things

Summer is flying by, but the days have been sooooo long. It's been a coolish Summer, but then we have a few days of 90 & really humid.
I'm really loving dark blue eye liner on my waterline.
I've been trying to get back into doing pilates. They have it On Demand, so I do it that way. I love stretching & it makes me feel really good.

Stuff & Things

 Birthday: We're a few days away from my Birthday & I'm getting excited, but I'm also not feeling good. I haven't been for a while. So I'm hoping that I feel good enough to enjoy my day.

 Batchelorette: The guys on the Batchelorette this season are kind of bugging me. Is it just me or most of them really weird looking? Their hair, the shape of their heads. A few remind me of Frankenstein.

 Freebies:  I got 2 Nars lip pencils from Sephora for my birthday from the Beauty Insiders club. Hoping I don't miss my free Ulta gift again this year. I'm planning on going in there on Tuesday if I don't get the e mail.

Stuff and Things

*My fave month has been cold so far, rainy & gloomy. I feel like turning on the heat. Our house is always 10 degrees colder too. My carpal tunnel hands are cramping up right now.
*In the Summer I love Friendly's watermelon roll. I haven't seen it out yet, but I did get some watermelon sherbert. I just add chocolate chips, so it tastes more like the watermelon roll.

*Yesterday was my 27th anniversary of my high school graduation. EEk.

Stuff & Things

This is my 1st time doing a Stuff & things link up.

*I went to our libraries book fair today. I got 4 books for Tara & 4 for me. She just said last night that she wanted this Junie B book. I was so excited when I found it for 50 cents.

I love cozy mystery books (& chick lit). I read "Remember me" before (from the library) & liked it, so I got my own copy for $1.

*I've been eating crappy since our cookout on Sunday. We have leftover cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies & brownies. The good news is I did the eliptical today & have been drinking more water. I want to do the eliptical a few times a week & pilates again.

*I've also been buying too many nail polishes, so I am taking a break until the end of June. We are going to Bar Harbor & I know there is a Del Sol store there.
