Last Thursday was Thanksgiving. It was a different kind of Thanksgiving. We only stayed for 3 hours. Usually, we stay for 6 or more, depending on. We played a game with mom. We ate. Tell you what eating at Thanksgiving used to be so stuff can’t move. Now it’s so puny. Korrie my new cousin made the turkey and there wasn’t much there. It was so pathetic. I am glad to leave only after 3 hours. Not a lot of people talking to each other either because the Packer game was on.

I finished this cute penguin.

I felt so bad on Saturday! That day was lunch with Chrissy and their family. I almost canceled because I felt so bad. But I went anyways. I had a great time with everyone and Chrissy got me this for my birthday this Friday!

That is a purse which is cool. I told her she didn’t have to get me anything and she paid for lunch. That was so nice of her to do. She asked if she should invite Corey and Kim and I said no. Hahahaha! My theory with Corey is we all have internet he could contact me at any time and he never does so oh well with him. I am too old to deal with family bullshit.

Later on Saturday, I did go to Urgent Care. The doctor told me I got a cold after having Covid. She gave me some cough suppressants and they have helped so much! No more waking up at night to cough and feeling terrible because of coughing. I still feel not myself a hundred percent but I think I am getting there.

I am 40 today! 40! I can’t believe I am 40 now. I am not sure how to feel about it. One thing though is I made it! I am still here. I am happy about that.

I can’t believe it but our Tex turned 4 on July 4! I can’t believe he is 4 already! He has grown up a lot this year. Jeff and I say he “adults” which he sometimes does! He has good and bad days like humans! It’s funny to see that. I would say “Tex you having a day?” LOL! He has the most personality of any dog we have had before.

Happy birthday Tex! We got him a new toy named the jumbler. It squeaks and that’s his favorite. He LOVES squeaky toys. This one is made by Kong so we know it won’t break. He has been having a grand ol’ time with it. We love you Tex!

Sunday was Mother’s Day. I have to admit I wasn’t really looking forward to it even though I made an extra effort this year. Jeff and I went to Aldi’s and bought all the ladies’ tulips. They were five dollars can’t go wrong with that. Jeff also made chicken and brats for the main dish which was yum!

Kim came can you believe it?! She actually was nice on Sunday. That’s strange. Dad said she is trying to make up for what happened last year. Took her long enough for her to be nice to anyone really. Of course, they left early which was fine with the rest of us.

I stayed and slept over. I hung out with my parents all day on Monday. It was cool to do so. They can be silly. Mom and I went to discount stores all over Green Bay. That was fun. Then later Jeff came and we all went out to eat. They were glad that I wanted to hang out with them. My dad said it many times while I was there. That makes me happy.

Yesterday was Easter. It was fun. My mom hid plastic Easter eggs around her house. There were three little kids who were playing. Mom had an egg with quarters in it. It was fun to watch them trying to find them. We had good food and some of my aunts and uncles were there. It was a pleasant visit.

Last Thursday I had to go to the dentist because where they put the screw was puffy. But he said it looks good now, a week later. Okay here is something dumb. Because I got my partial denture last year, I can’t get implants this year until 2026. Isn’t that so dumb?! That is what my insurance said. So now I have to pay out of pocket for what I have done this year. If I would have known that I wouldn’t have gotten my partial last year. Dental implants are way better. My insurance claims that having my partial is efficient enough. Lame!

I saw my dad at the dentist. He was coming out and I was going in. What are the odds? I thought that was funny.

Happy Birthday

March 17 was my birthday! I am 39! I had a great birthday. Monday I went to the dentist then went to see my parents. We went to a Mexican restaurant near their house because I wanted to eat a yummy taco salad. They gave me money and this really cute rug.

I got 40 pods of any coffee of my choosing from crazycups.com and that’s my birthday gift from Jeff! Best gift!

Then on Friday, we went to see Ken and Mileena. My birthday is the 17th, Mileena’s birthday is the 18th, and Ken’s birthday is the 19th. Birthday extravaganza! I got an Amazon gift card which is as good as actual money!

Chrissy bought me this cool bracelet!

I had a great birthday week!

Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was a different Thanksgiving. We haven’t been at Thanksgiving in 2 years. The Thanksgiving in 2019 we went to see Jeff’s sister. Then 2020 happened. Nothing more to say there. It was different because it’s the first Thanksgiving I went to without my parents.

My dad had hip replacement surgery and there were some complications. So he wasn’t feeling up to going to Thanksgiving this year which made my mom happy. She has always hated going to Thanksgiving. I know Jeff didn’t really want to go without my parents but sometimes we have to adult even when we don’t want to.

I am glad we went this year. I have to say Thanksgiving has really thinned out since I was a kid. Not too many go anymore. It was still good to see some of my aunts and uncles and stay and chat.

I am starting to see why Vin Diesel says “It’s all about the family!” Because it is.

This Sunday is Mother’s day. I got mom some good presents. I bought some stuff on Wish. I thought for sure it wouldn’t come because it was supposed to get here on the 3rd and it came on the 7th of this week. If you can’t tell it’s a theme. Lol!

The little item on top of the candle is strawberry earrings. The big strawberry is actually a purse. Those are the items I got from Wish. The bag is cuter in person then on the website.

I am trying really hard to let this go. But my mom got her hair done…..

The grief she doled out last year for dying my hair was unbelievable. Then yet she does this! (Taking deep breaths.) However I think this looks great. I am going to let it go just hard right now. But I will get over it.

Like I mentioned this Sunday is Mother’s Day. Every year I send out invites on messenger. We always do a pot luck. I usually get on people’s cases to contribute whatever. Not this year. I said what we are bringing and no one else said anything else. So maybe we will just have hamburgers for Mother’s Day. They are adults, they can read. I don’t feel the need to be concerned with everyone else anymore.

I got my new diamond painting. I will be doing for my mom’s birthday in September.

On Thursday May 5 I saw the cutest little fox in our yard! He ran fast and I couldn’t get his front. But I did get a pic of him.

Here is a cute pic of Tex sitting like he does always. Lol!

Happy Birthday

Wednesday was my 38th birthday! Wow, 38 years I have been on this earth. It’s crazy to say in two years I will be 40. I have learned a lot in my 38 years.

The biggest thing I have learned and even more so because of Covid. Is what kind of people my siblings are. Good and bad. I have a closer bond with my sister and my younger brother. As my older brother is now a lot more strained and I don’t forsee me getting closer to him anytime soon.

I have to say I am more open-minded than I used to be. I see on Facebook how people become too divided. Also hehehe Facebook. I say the reason why I still use Facebook is because one yes I do play some of it’s games. But also a lot of my older family members use it and keeps me connected to them. Anyways back to the point is I don’t understand the divide. If one person wants to live their life in their own way, how can that be bad? It doesn’t affect me in anyway. On top of that why say this or that negatively towards one another? The whole vaccination thing has a lot of people on this side or that side. I say, whatever you feel is right for you, you should do that. It shouldn’t matter really what others think but that’s Facebook and the internet as a whole. For me I am going to do whatever I think is right for me.

On my birthday I went to the dentist and was actually excited to go. Please write that down on the calendar. Danielle wanted to go to the dentist. Yes! I got my partial dentures. Now I can eat properly and not be embarrassed when I smile. No one has ever pointed out when I smile I am missing teeth it’s more how I feel about it.

I got The Dark Pictures Man from Medan and Little Hope. I love those games where I can choose my own path. The Man from Medan I bought from the money my parents gave me and Little Hope is what Jeff got me.

On Saturday Jeff is going to make ribs for dinner. I love ribs! Then I get to choose the movie we watch. I picked The Colony it’s one of my favorite underrated movies and Jeff has never seen it.
