What We've Been Up To


Happy Halloween!  🎃 

Are y'all ready for the trick or treaters? We haven't given out candy for several years now. I usually make some popcorn and watch horror movies! Or do you live in an area that changes when trick or treating is held? It really annoys the 💩 out of me when they do that! Just leave things alone!

There weren't any birthdays, per se, this month. If my momma (2024) was still with us she would have turned 91. I really do miss her and my daddy (2023) so much. The holidays just aren't the same. 😪

Well, after months of going back and forth on how I wanted to finish our bathroom; extend beadboard around the sink and wallpaper above or wallpaper from floor to ceiling...
I decided to wallpaper from floor to ceiling around the sink area. I'm so glad I did! Got the curtains hung. I'm still tweaking a few little things, but I'm loving it! Then I moved to the bedroom...sigh...hung the curtains & made the bed...and 😡🤬🤬 The curtains look great, but the bedding...aahh! And no matter how many times I try to walk away and work on something else it doesn't work because it's our bedroom! I've got an idea that I hope works out...if not? 🤷‍♀️😪 I'll just deal with it! 

DH has been spending the government shutdown working on some projects for and with me. I get so excited when things get rolling that sometimes my mind starts racing with ideas on how I'm going to finish it off, that I get impatient! 

NOTE: I have 3 posts scheduled for November and none for December. I'm taking some time off for the holidays, to finish a few things, and really think about how much longer I want to continue blogging.

I hope everyone has a Happy & Safe Thanksgiving!
