Blizzard

 

For the last few days we have been having a blizzard! It’s so crazy! I can’t remember any spring being winter again in my life. This blizzard is even called Blizzard Evelyn. I hate you Evelyn. So we have been stuck  in our house which is so human nature. If you can’t leave your house you want to leave your house. lol!

What is good that the dogs still go outside. Scotty was so funny. He made Koko go out there first to make a trail and then he follows, he isn’t dumb.

Happy Easter!

Today is Easter!

This is a different Easter. Usually we go to my parents house to celebrate and be together but no parents this time. They are in Florida with my sister and her family having a great time. So this year it’s just Jeff and I and I am fine with that. I think we are going to watch Coco. I really want to see that.

I made tiny chicks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am making more for my sister in law for a present. These are fun and easy to make.

I did it! I finished my book the story anyway. It’s strange but I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me. Now some more edits to finding an artist then I am done. I am on track to publishing my first book this year! I am so excited! I am making my dream come true. I am proud of myself for working hard on it and trying to do what I want. Once this is finished I can continue writing my stories and turning them into books. YAY!

Sam lent me some games I played Wolfenstein the New World Order. I finished it but not happy with the ending. Now I am playing Uncharted 4. WHAT?! This game is the most beautiful game I have played EVER! It was worth playing one and two last year because they reference them in the game. I am in shock how much games have come in graphics. I am trying to finish it by Tuesday.

For my bday my parents gave me money and I got Far Cry 5. I have never played any of the others in the series so it should interesting. I can’t wait to see how beautiful game that will be. I got some savings from it too for being an Amazon Prime member. I saved almost 12 dollars for a new game! So I will get my game on Tuesday March 27. I can’t wait to play!

We went grocery shopping and Jeff found this super cute plushie but…it’s not a plushie it’s a purse!

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s so soft and cute! I got it for my friend Helen for her birthday.

Speaking of friends April’s and I friend anniversary is coming up. 20 years! I made a two dolls. One that is her and one that is me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can’t see in the the pic but I braided April’s hair since she always has in a braid. Also getting friendship necklaces. Hoping to get them soon. Next week we will celebrate. I can’t wait, it will be fun!

On Wednesday was an awesome day! Jeff had a half day because he had a doctor’s appointment. That part wasn’t too bad. He has some skin tags that were bothering him on his neck and he has one on his eye lid. Mostly concerned about the one on his eye lid. Found out it’s not a skin tag but a wart on his eye lid which to me makes sense because it doesn’t look like a skin tag. He has to have that one surgically removed because it sits on his eye lash area that’s too close to his eye for the doctor we saw yesterday to take off. These days to remove skin tag they use electricity to removed them. I thought that was cool. No cutting, freezing or burning them off like they did back when.

We went to the Bread Harvest afterwards. I haven’t been to a Bread Harvest in a very long time. I use to go to one when I worked at the YMCA. I used to walk downtown and go eat at the Bread Harvest. Jeff has never been to a Bread Harvest. So we got some yummy bread, cookies and some spread. Yummy!

After that we went to Walmart. I know that doesn’t sound fun but we were in De Pere and all Walmarts are not the same. Wow their Walmart makes our Walmart look like shit. It was so nice in there and clean. The one in my town isn’t always the cleanest and forget about using the restroom it’s always gross. The one in De Pere was very clean and the restroom were clean as well. We got some things we really needed and I got some clothes.

Then we went for lunch/dinner. We went to Sgambati’s pizza. We ordered a loaded nacho pizza and it was awesome! It was nice because there was really nobody there but us. So we had great pizza and great company. Had so much fun with Jeff just being out and doing things together.

I feel mad again at my sister. Ugh didn’t mom teach her any manners? So it was Drew’s birthday he turned 10 this year. We are short this whole month of February on money yet we manage to get him 10 dollars. Did we get a thanks? No! In fact Chrissy said thanked to everyone except us on FB. What a joke! I am mad! We are not obligated to get him anything and I know it isn’t her son’s fault but what a slap in the face. 

Anyways this weekend I made another doll. I like her better than my first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Her hair is so soft. I like making them and going to make a whole lot more.

I have been sick! Ugh! So not much going on. I got a sinus infection so a lot of sleeping and complaining.

Also this week is Valentines Day and I don’t care. Ha! Oh I am sure people will ask me what Jeff got me and I will say nothing. Jeez. I am just one those people who don’t see what’s the big fuss Valentines Day is. I think we should watch a mobster movie on Wednesday for Valentines Day. Ha ha!

January 31st my mom and my Aunt Kathy came over for a visit. I told them I hope you either like cereal or soup in a can because I am broke. Lol! When they did come over they brought some food with them. Awesome! I do like eating out but I am trying this new thing so I am glad we didn’t go. I am trying to not eat fast food or go out to eat. It’s hard! But easy when you do not have money. Ha!

We played games. We played In A Pickle which was a funny game! I laughed so hard. We were having a great time! Then later we sat around and talked. It was fun talking to them.

We talked about religion which has been the topic for me for a couple of months. April and I decided I am really an Eclectic Christian. Meaning I believe in this and that not strictly Christian beliefs. Which I feel that I am. April is now a Wiccan and a Christian. I like learning about different religions so I have been reading and learning about Wiccans. I think the beliefs of Wiccans are awesome! April said she is a Eclectic Wiccan. By being this I see the difference and it’s for the good.

The topic of religion came up. So I told them what April is. They were like why Wiccan? I was thinking why not? I will like a person if they are whatever religion or not. It helps them then why not?! I don’t really like talking religions with anyone unless it’s brought up but I wouldn’t bring it up. However my aunt brought over some Buddha books for me to have. I’ll read them but not switching religions. But like I said learning about other religions is cool.

Anyway I still had fun and wasn’t sure if I would.

Jeff and I had a great time on Friday. We went to the Neville Public Museum to see the dinosaurs. The display was only going on till last weekend. I love learning about dinosaurs and how the earth changed after the meteor hit. They even had robot dinosaurs that would roar and move their heads and tails. It was so cool!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was also a section where we couldn’t take pics. It was tiny art. So tiny! It was so cool! This husband and wife team make tiny paintings. I liked that section too.

Then there was a section of Legos. They built Lambeau Field out of Legos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the museum we bought lunch for my parents. We wanted to celebrate my dad’s birthday he turned 63 on the January 24th. It was great to hangout with them for a little bit.

Life

First I want to start with what made me mad. Since the start of January I asked Chrissy if her and her husband want to get together for game night. At first she said should couldn’t in the beginning because she a business trip. Then we couldn’t because Jeff had to work all the next weekend. So we decided on this weekend Saturday, January 27. She said that was perfect because her dad was taking her kids for the weekend. But then two of you friends died tragically. I understand but that was before the 27th was a week away. I understand it’s sad I had a friend die.

If she wanted canceled she could have said I can’t I am still grieving. And that is understandable but no her excuse on canceling was: my dad’s birthday is the 28th. Which by the way is every single year! Like how can you in this day in age forget anyone’s birthday? It’s called putting in your calendar on your phone or computer. It will always reminds you or on even FB remembers.

 My dad’s birthday was on the 24th. She put it as MY dad’s birthday is the 28th so we MAY not be able to get together. I told her why didn’t you say that in the first place. Like why didn’t you say we can’t get together this weekend because my dad is having his birthday party on Saturday. Let’s schedule something else. Her response was: I did!  All that day I was hurt. I thought for sure we were getting along and having fun. I don’t see anywhere in that sentence that she wanted to reschedule? What really got me is my mom went over there and had dinner with them the day after the tragic event happen. She told me they were laughing and having a good time.

So…guess what my response to myself was? “Well I guess we won’t see them until there is a family event.” Thinking to myself that I don’t need her and that just another sibling not willing to hangout with me which makes me sad and it feels like it’s me. It’s just another wall that I didn’t want to put up yet there it is.

Now let’s talk about fun!

April came over on Monday January 22 till the 23. We had so much fun! My FB friend made coconut butter and I wanted to try to make it. She has a food processor and I do not. I figured I could make it in my blender what’s the difference. The one she showed looked chunky. April and I made it and it came out as spreadable butter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guess who liked it? Jeff! I couldn’t believe it. So we did good because he liked it. It has very simple ingredients as well and we didn’t measure.

It is: Shredded coconut, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt.

With April I always have fun. Also April is now a Wiccan, Christian. So I am learning so much about Wicca. It’s interesting to me. She blessed our house. That was was cool and fun.

Look what I got:

 

 

 

 

 

 

My IDLife box. It’s strange it comes in a big box like this. Also so fast! I thought for sure it wouldn’t be here but I got it on Monday.

Here is what’s really strange to me:

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pills come in a roll. So what if you had to go somewhere are you supposed to take your roll with you? Also let’s say I have to fly, I am pretty sure you can’t take the roll with you.  I really hate this design choice they made for this. Now I have to cut all this up to put in my pill container. Thanks for the work and garbage.

It will be awhile to see if they actually work.
