Today Is Saturday November 30, This Is What Happen


I promise a few that I was going to post about Yule and return of the sun or the light in all of all of us.
I plan to only do to two vlogs in month of December. Not sure exact dates some where between the 3rd and the 23rd. But the rest of the time I will be doing blog post.
I got both side cover with blogmas and vlogmas.
I am posting every day until Christmas. Hopeful I can figure out how to lighten my video. Still have goal of getting 100 subscribers to my CHANNEL

I don't do Black Friday. But I do Small Business Saturday, which only took me an hour to cover my shopping.

First stop was LARSON to get my Grand daughter new outfit. the little ones was 25% off and my oldest grand daughter who will be four in April, came off clearance rack.

Then went book store, BONNER BOOKS which is not put out there though any part of the web. I got book on local explore or our Lewis and Clark. DAVID THOMPSON

Very last place was UNDER THE SUN and I thought of getting apron but nothing spoke to me at the prices they want for them.
But I did find some dishtowels buy one and get the second one for half price.
Also there quite a few fun items there. I bought this it called "Total Eclipse Of The FART" lavatory mist. It lilac and amber scent with instruction..."Whether you farted or poop, it can smell really bad. There something you can do______ Total Eclipse of the fart.
Quick mist cure the air of foul orders. Over 500 application in every bottle.

Well hubby went down to Ponderay to the Walmart and I thought it would be crowded with people. well his report said it wasn't. And not many in my local area was taking part in Small Business Saturday. The book store had the most people in it.


This is rest of items I got. I did have a cup of coffee and biscotti then came home. And no my Christmas shopping isn't done.

Today Is Friday November 29, This Is What Happen.

Thanksgiving went off with no trouble. Had a wonderful time and there were six adults and 2 lovely little girls, grand daughter who gathered.

Got home early enough to be brave and made some Turkish coffee. So I wouldn't have trouble falling asleep. It came out really good.
I like peppermint schnapps in hot cocoa, but the cocoa usual has diary in it. Not friendly with me. But I like to find liquor that would compliment cardamon spice.

Today we got our first Christmas from a set of my second Cousin who lives just North of Spokane. They said there probably won't be hosting the family reunion in July.
The family gathering is decline and there serve reason why this happens.

Been working, organizing and putting together my bullet journal. The only thing I need to do is put in the month of June and weeks of June.
Well that it for calendar part.

But then I like to put in some trackers, although I am way past this stage. But there plenty room for improvement.

Goal pages.

When at work I some time to keep my self calm I eat, more of nervous eating. I pretty much stay the same when come to my weight.
I try to go to work with eating plan. Bring my own lunch with four healthy items. Today I brought nothing stop of at deli, usual limited items I can have. Most of them have diary in them. So I had six potato wedges and same amount in chicken nuggets.
One would call it a type of anxiety eating. See I don't do any drugs, in my younger days I did my share. And when it come to drinking booze. Like a six pack of beer will last 3 to 6 months. In hot summer months my hubby and I will split a beer.
The 5th (750ML) hard liquor will last one to two years.
But I have to give my self credit I have develop some better health habits.

Off to Small Saturday tomorrow and still need to get my video up also. I won't promise but these two department I need to do.
Starting Bologna's on Dec 1 and I guess I will also do two video for vlogmas before Christmas.

Today Is Wednesday November 27, This Is What Happen

A long day at work, and I am taking tomorrow off. So I can take part in Thanksgiving merriment. And will go to work on Friday.
I just don't do Black Friday. But I am one who does SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY I try to keep my money in our local community though out the year.

Between blogmas and vlogmas. Simple post every day from Dec 1 til Dec 25. Nothing wrong with that and possible even meet some new people.
But what bothers me they make sound like your going to make tons of money. Enough you can quite you day job

These rates are for pro bloggers and hobby blogger. The difference between a hobby and pro is. The hobby one can't quite there day job.
I figure for me I would be mainly in the olive green section. Maybe once in great while in lower end of yellow.
I sort of looking to you tube and it pretty much the same story of blogging.
I guess a blog, journal and a diary can fall under the same HEADING
Confession time...I find those blogs that are saturated with ads frustrating and leave them quickly. 

Been working on setting up my bullet journal. About ready to set up May.

Today Is Tuesday November 26, This Is What Happen

Home scale I was down and the ones at T.O.P.S was up. So I will call it a draw. I was ask why I don't use a kettle to heat my water up. I real don't know. I honestly don't know any Americans that use a tea kettle. They nuke there water in microwave.

It our holiday we America give Thanks. American Thanksgiving is this  coming Thursday and I will be going down to my son in law.

But as I was younger we would gather at one my Aunts and Uncle homes or some big ole shed. Have lovely time with all my cousin. This was from mom side.
I have 27 first cousin though my moms side. It quite common to have a lease 50 plus human in building.
Those days are long gone.

Like I am getting less intolerant of those who to far right. I wouldn't bet the farm they would tolerate my ideal either political or religious.
"Yes" one my relative post this. So I becoming quite "Thankful" that we hardly gather as family. I can see it becoming quite ugly.
But a quick side note. I have notice those who are strong Trump supports are un-ware and un-educated. Here a little PROOF

History. I am fasnated by all sort of history, every part of it. but I have to wonder about Queen Victoria GRANDCHILDREN who also were quite divided.Could they be a theological or philosopical reason behind a divide in the world.

Last night I was watch this you tube video on vlogmas and I start to wonder if there is a blogmas. There is one. And everyone have a different ideal and what it all about. Some say do some holiday base vlog or blog post. Then other say it doesn't matter.
So I know what a blog and a vlog is. But I wasn't sure what or where the suffix "Mas" come from and holiday sacred day. So I can think of a few words ending in mas. Lovmas, friendmas, kindmas, and now it time to possible use some real words. Not made up words such as Martinmas.
There brief talk about making money though blogs and vlogs. I sure wouldn't give up my day job.
I usual post every day. So I bet I can post between my blog and vlog from December 1 to the 25th

Today Is Monday November 25, This Is What Happen

Don't recall how I found it on google, well there a lot of cool stuff I bump into on google. I thought this was interesting, THE WORLD LETTER
I looked into a little bit. But I would be clueless what I would say in letter to world.
I known people who have wrote a letter to there self. Which I never done.

Weigh in at my local weight lost group. I mange to get a morning walk in. Recorded what I ate, mood, and still need to put a few other things water and steps.
look like I taken about 5,900 steps so far. There still time to get in more steps.

Work went ok, nothing new. With my line of work excitement isn't something one needs or want.

It been a while since I took anything to the thrift store. I went to our basement pantry and took things that I haven't use for a very long time.
One thing that went was tea pot that you heat on stove. If I want hot water I usual use the microwave. But it there occasion I will use a regular pan to heat the water in.

I did finish a book FINDING THE LIGHT WITH IN. As most book review or report is more or less someone opinion.
It one of those stories who grew up in Nazi occupied Europe, and her parents died at Auchchwitz and before her mother was send off. She was placed in a Catholic Orphan home.
It a short story of her finding her own light. Although she never went to constration camp there finding of DESCENDANTS OF HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS

Today Is my daughter in law birthday, she turn 33. We will go down there for Thanksgiving. Hubby Birthday is Wednesday.
I still want to get up a little video on You tube of unboxing with hint of Yule.

Today Is Sunday November 24, This What Happen.

Yesterday I was visit one my regular blog, High Riser and one of his recent post, SUNDAY SELECTION and when he brought up the faith of JEHOVAH WITNESS
Today is day I am going to share my experience of JW, and no I never been one or even came close.
In high school I did visit one of there mid week service. Not sure what actual called it. But I will call it "Testimony Wednesday" not even real sure what day it was.
As we sat in the service. The people were pretty much confessing there sin or short comings. And the ending of everyone was "If it wasn't for lord I would________________.
I was ask if I want or need to give a testimony. I was even polite then. A simple no thank you. What I gave.
Shortly after wards she moved in with a guy and was kicked out of JW religion
Then when they coming banging on your door. If I see them coming up. I grab a small note book and pen.
And no other faith I know of ask about your relationship with Christ, as they do. Before it goes any farther. As I am handing them the note book and pen. I ask them for there name and address so I can come to there door step and preach to them on "Paganism". So far I haven't yet got and address. Confession time...I wouldn't real know what I would of done, if I got one there address.
There been a few time I seen them out public with a nice display of there literature. One day my hubby and I was driving though NEW PORT WASHINGTON and one of them and a female was on street corner, and I was going to give my hubby a ten dollar bill. And I want him to approach her as if she was a hooker.
I wouldn't get him to do it. I just want to see the look on her face.

This Is a good enough time to briefly mention of my retirement goal. It been a while and I mean a while since I mention any thing about my ceramics.
Well after I retire I would like to put in a small studio in my basement and have it open to some what the public, part time
But in all honestly I am in no shape to handle much the molds. I try to look up my larger mold weight and I guess I would have to guess around 30 pounds and that not with clay or slip in it.
I some time struggle when caring larger cat feed bags around.
Simple I let my self get out of shape.
See I been a part of weight lost support system, and I have develop better health habits. But being constant can be anther matter.
I get tired of keeping track of things when it comes to my health.
I lost 20 pounds in 18 months. Haven't lost any more then that. My 2019 goal was to loose .75 pounds a week. 3 pounds of month. My year of end goals was to be down 30 pounds.
Am I giving up? "No"
This afternoon we went and visit with Quenella. She gave me three of her advent calendar that her children had.
This one I am sending down to Medford to my middle grand daughter. I bought three advent calendar with milk chocolate for each of them.
Plus I am tossing in my finely ground coffee for my Turkish coffee I can have when down there for Christmas.

Today Is Saturday November 23, This Is What Happen


Our local community had four of there local holiday craft show. My goal was to get something little for my son's in laws. But couldn't find anything for them.
But there a few more shortly coming up.

First one we went to was at one of local Mennonite churches. One reason I went to have a bowl of chili with corn bread and pie.
I want to pick 8 by 8 pan of it to bring home. I got some fresh press apple cider. 
Liz and Regis both got some books. 
Then we went to the vintage one. Some of there piece I thought was little on high side. But I did mange to pick two items.
My friend Quenella collect angels and I found her one. I don't want to un-wrap it. Plus this time of year they bring out the snow people. And I did find one. They didn't have much for snow people. 
Hope in a little later on I can get couple of photos of items I bought.
Let see Regis bought some smaller cars I think one was from TOOTSIE TOY and Liz got a piece of glass tubing.

Figures what the price range for grand daughter Christmas toy gift. Willing to go between 20 and 30 dollars.
My oldest one will be only getting one toy, her gift is close to the $30 range. The other two there gift is close to $15. So they will get anther toy. 

Been slowly putting together my bullet journal. Funny or strange there all different in how I did them up.

Today Is Friday November 22, This Is What Happen


On you tube video, for me personaly I don't like them over 10 minutes long. Over that they seem to start to loose my attention. Well there are some that kept my attention for longer then 10 minutes. Usual I found these that have props.
I visit a varity of blogs, and at first I thought of apologizing that my faith might offend some. But I am not. I wouldn't expect someone to apologize for there political, religious, sexual orientation, political ideology, or of actual much of anything.
Sure there things people should apologize for. But for being who they are no.


Last thing I did on my facebook page last night. Less time on facebook has sure change my level of my collywobbles. Less post of political items.
Looks like I either post, like, commet, or share something 48 times last week. Up from last week and still under my goal of time on facebook.

Goal is to get 100 subscribers to my CHANNEL and I will have give away.

Today Is Thursday November 21, This Is What Happen

I real like my titles now. Lot simpler and I guess starting next year I will have the year to it. When I have a chance I been watch the impeachment trail of our President. As many of you can guess I am not Trump fan.

Been having trouble getting my hours in. Liz had company at this time. Hopeful Saturday I will be able to take my client to some of local craft things.  I believe there four in community. Two of them our both Friday and Saturday.
The one I want to attend is the Mennonite one. Hope to find a gift for my daughter in laws parents and plus they have real good chili with corn bread.
Then the other three is at our fairgrounds, St Ann Catholic Church, and Middle School.
Then I believe this up coming Sunday is our Community Thanksgiving dinner, which is put on by local Christan churches.
Usual I go. But this year I doubt it. I need some home time or non social time.

Liz has company and I haven't gotten my hours in. So hopeful before end of the week I will have my hours in or a lease finish them up.
Ended up coming home early. Regis pretty much has his hours in.
But I know they will enjoy seeing all the crafts and bake good items.
Plus yesterday Murphy wash the curtain from our living room window and he did something to his back.
So he was glad to see me. I finish up the dishes and got load of laundry done.

Last two days we been having blue skies and which been helping my attitude. Been slowly getting things done in bullet journal for 2020. This time I got larger one and figured it will hold a least half of the year. Which will be til end of June.
Made video on Paganism and if all goes right I will have that up tomorrow.

Today Is Tuesday November 19, This Is What Happen

Maybe hopeful I will get my days of week correct. I sure wouldn't hold my breath on that one. But I been some what please with this week so far.
Weigh in at our local T.O.P.S group all of us were down or maintain. I am one who maintain. Today topic was "Does Scale play part in your self image"
Question time...What is your relationship with scales you weigh on? 
For me weighing my self everyday isn't for me. If the scales are up I want to celebrate with food. If the scales are down I want to stuff my mouth in sorrow.
So for me weighing my self everyday isn't benfit me in my weight lost. So for me weighing my self three times a week would be a lot better.
last few days I haven't record over at Fitday. Well I am not going to list all what I haven't done to loose weight.
Simple I haven't been accountable. But I need to get my self credit. I been keeping in my bounds when come to eating, nothing after 7pm until breakfast.

This morning I went and did the paper work for affordable care act. Idaho finely got on the ball and EXPANSION OF MEDICAID. Not sure if I qualify or not. If I don't I will receive some type of subsidy to purchase health care insurance.
I've said we need a one payer insurance option and I still feel people shouldn't get a free ride in life. People should pay 1 to 3 percent of there income for health care.
I know I sound hypocritical about medicaid, and if I get a good offer on subsidy I might stay with private insurances.
But still there problem with private ones. In short terms the private insurance company are just plain greedy.

We pay for Murphy medication although it not all that expensive. We check for insurance that would cover his medication, and best deal we could get was plan for $75 a month. And with $2,000 and something for a deductible.
All of his meds comes nothing to $75 a month, or 2,000 year.
So we're using the app GOOD RX my insurance picks up most of my medication. Thankful I only take 3.

No trouble at work. But I am ready for a few days of clear blue skies. But when that happens the temperture will drop.

Today Is Monday November 18, This Is What Happen

Need to continue a little bit more about convention and conference. Maybe I didn't use the correct term on learning where bloggers community may gather.
I've looked at what one would call professional blogs. Statement time...It seem that there was so many ads and pop us it became frustrated to deal with. No thank you.
I have no ideal who any of these people are at the BLOGOSPHERE AWARDS
But there two reason why I blog is for thearpy and fun. Not saying I'm still not interesting possible putting and ad below my post. Or other things on my blog.
But I don't want to write product reviews. Not sayin I wouln't mention some product I been please with. Or something that totally awful.
Plus going back and reading some my old blog post I do see some spelling, grammer, and punctuation errors
I now ran into term "Blog Festival" and I understand what a festival is.
A short video on BLOG AWARDS

Work day for me. I seam to be stuggling with seasonal depression a little more this year. I was real doing good on keeping track of what I ate. Now I'm hit and miss with it.
I looked up out window around 4:20 our time and sun was complete down. Plus last week or so it been over cast.

Today Is Thursday November 17, This What Happen

One of my cousin went Hamburg Germany for Podcast CONVENTION and I have wonder at times about meeting the people who I meant though social media.
So I search google using these terms. "Social Media Convention" "Social Media Conference" and "Social Media Gathering"
Confession time...I have always want to go to some type BLOGGER DO HICKEY  
But I always consider my blog a "Hodge Podge" But by this I would be LIFE STYLE BLOGGER or possible place were small community BLOGGER
Seattle would be closes town with any population, 724,745 and Spokane is about a two hour drive or 103 miles. And Spokane population 217,108
Question time...What is your town population like? I like between two towns the one south of me is Naples Idaho, population I would guess it would be some where between 250 and 500. And it a UNINCORPORATED
Bonners Ferry is to the North and it population is 2,595
The county population is 11.922. We have very little diversity here. White population is over 90% and lease population is black or African American less then 1%

This afternoon Murphy and I went behind the forest service. A great place to explore. I found quite few what I would call great rocks to paint on. Confession time...I can't even get items I have in my home organized.
Watch the train go by, the crew waved. First engine was of the Canadian Pacific and the other two were the Union Pacific. My dad retired off the Union Pacific. The train run from Spokane up past Bonners Ferry was known as 8 and 9 run.
I just don't get some people. Why some people litter. This could be great place to find some trash to do TRASH ART I sure wouldn't go bare footed.

I been told and not sure if true of not. At one time this was an old powder shed. A place they kept dynamite. 
There is some private property out here. But I would guess most of it would be part of the KOOTENAI REFUGE well just on the other side of Deep Creek.
Anther week done. Almost an A plus when came to checking of "me" Saturday my book was in car and I was to lazy to go out and get it.
It amazing what one can get done in 15 minutes.
Start to date and organize my bullet journal for 2020. Figured out the lay out only. This new one should last until June.
So glad I have white out.

Last some how I stumbled back on to Social Blade. It rate your twitter and you tube channel. Well I moved up grade wise. I was d and now I'm c minus. 
Planning to have a video done for the up coming two Saturday, 23 and 30

Took a lactose pill the other day, so I can enjoy a little diary. I give those pill about c minus rating. I sure would count on them. I thought I would of been up slightly. The other day I went over my calorie allowance, and a few times this week I been getting my poles walk in.

The other day I posted about cousin of mine trying to raise funds for his candy adventure. I feel it not right to ask for donation, that I haven't contribute to. Yesterday I donate.
Now I am asking with kindness if anyone out there could donate to TRAVIS' HANDMADE CANDY. But sharing his go fund me page, though social media would be greatly appreciated.

Bought airline tickets to fly down to Medford Oregon, to have Christmas with Sawyer. But actual we will be celebrating with them on the 26th. Flying out of Spokane on Christmas day. It quite bit cheaper flying that day.

Worked a little bit sitting up my next year budget. Figuring the tax part and how much I need to hold out from each check. Company I work for uses K1 TAX FORM.
Then anther hold back out of check I need is those non monthly bills. And my charitable giving.

A little later Murphy and I are going over to Liz to celebrate her 60 birthday. We will swing by and pick up Regis.
He got her a art set and I got her some new scissors and washi tape. Well I did invite a few of her friends to come.
I will get some cup cakes. It pretty small gathering, something like 3 to 6 people.

Today Is Thursday November 14, This What Happen

I sat goal, which in that I would be coming a better person. I was letting facebook control my emotions to much. To spend less time there. They way I plan to this is to decrease my activity there. I was on my page either liking, posting and or sharing about 90 items.
So I want to cut out by 25% which leaves me about 78 post a week. Well this week look like I only done 11 what ever on facebook.
Came to conclusion less time on facebook less stress.

Work is pretty much boring. Or I would look at as uneventful. I just don't get Liz at time, and I known a few others in my life time.
Just sits and sits. I know this time of year can be hard. The sun is in low Southern sky and we're only having 9 hours and 15 minutes of light.
Seasonal depression can be hard for some. I have stuggle but I make sure I get outside.
When I took Regis to his appointment I went for a walk.

My daily tweet....Plan A Plan B Combine the two together and come up with Plan C. It drives me nut when people who do not plan.

Today Is Wednesday November 13, This Is What Happen

On any social media account I have I do appreciate any comment. It feels to me like a conversation. But on the hand, there no human vibes from it.
Won't every be to old to LEARN NEW THINGS But blogging is still my favor. Planning to do anther VLOG on the 23 and the 30 this month.

One of my cousin is trying to get his foot under him, and start a candy business. He has a go fund me page and if you could be kind enough to DONATE. If you can't or won't donate for what every reason. Could you please share his request for a start up on candy business.

I know I won't be covering everything in today healthily life in this blog post. But this morning I had  2 scrambled eggs, and best in selenium and riboflavin. But my concern is calcium if that I do get enough, since I am lactose intolerance.
And also I had 2 pieces of bacon and blue berry bagel with margarine.
I didn't want to make an excuse why I didn't walk down to the third power line. Instead I got on the tread mill, and did some time there.

Tuesday and Wednesday is what I call my naughty day. And today I share with my hubby anther SEATTLE CHOCOLATE.

I was in one of our local grocery store and in holiday section they had some advent calendar out. Not sure if pagans have anything close to the advent season or not.
But I know the heavy duty Christians, Santa gives them the heebie jeebies. I took care one of them as personal care giver. Statement time....They have been the worst to take care of in my experience. 
Plus one could find it some what humorous 
When wrapping gifts and if paper had word Santa Clause, St Nicholas, St Nick, Kris Kringle, Pelznickle. I would have to some how make sure the entire words I just listed didn't show up. I got real good at wrapping.
Anyhow I picked three advent calendar for Grand daughters.

Regis and I went to a thrift store. I know he picked up some toy like items. Me I was real careful the items I got. Because I don't need to add to my clutter.
I have collection of snow people that I put out for Christmas, so I look around and only seen one. Which I wasn't impress with.
But I did get a full tube of wrapping paper for thirty nine cent. And I went though the holiday cards. I usual send out Snow people or the Magi ones.
If you want a card from me, e mail me. Which will be limited to dozen wonderful people.

Editor Note....I have pay check I need to deposit and then I will be donate to Travis Candy adventure.

CHIT CHAT 2 ABOUT WHAT EVERY 

Monday, November 11, 2019

Today Is Monday November 11, This What Happen

Not a big choice. I figure I would share the quilt exhibits they had at MAC it wasn't all that big. But they had some interesting displays.

The quilts now days are usual quite expensive to make. If you purchase decent quality fabrics. Now most quilts are made from cotton.
Not saying people didn't purchase fabrics for quilts, those who did had the discretionary income. Usual most quilts came from in today term would be upcycling and recycle.
But also quilts should tell a story. By adding all sort of embellishment. Anther word these quilts might be known as crazy quilts.
This quilt here is a new version of a so called crazy quilt. This one has all sort of pocket like things to contain items in.
The first photo above is some toy cars and the one just below, looks like bungee cord. And what I would called secret little hidden department though out the quilt.
This is full look of the newer version of a crazy quilt. Sorry the photo isn't what I was hoping for.


Hubby notice the sky was had a strong pinkish tint. Most of leaves are pretty much gone. The big popular tree in front is still slowly using it leaves.
Did get take a walk. My goal was to walk up to the third power line pole. End of road and on to the next one is two power line pole. I really didn't want to walk up to the next one. But I did.

I keep track of all eat. One thing I had today for lunch was tuna fish sandwich, and I add a chop up radish, green, and dill pickle.

I like to thank all fine people who is serving now and in past. Happy Veteran day.

Today Is Sunday November 10, This Is What Happen

Looks like last time I posted was on Last Wednesday and I believe both Thursday and Friday I took my clients shopping.
I can say in usual in all honesty I don't get carried away when I am in a store.
Now thrift stores I do find it a little more challenging.
I have a few bounds. I don't go to clearance section in store, until I have what I need. Toilet paper is more important then usual what in clearance section store.
Not going to talk about the few things I got when I went shopping. Yes I did buy toilet paper and the clamp thing to hook to my jig saw to mix paint.

There 3 things I want to accomplish today. First group was to get of so called paper work. A letter to friend and also send off my paper work  for job. But I forgot there no mail tomorrow it veterans day. Thing will go out Tuesday.
Clean out my car, so now it ready to vacuum.
Last thing is to clear off my dinning room table. I have to say I am well of three fourth done. But I don't know why this a struggle.

Yesterday we went to Spokane over to see Bart family. We all went to the MAC and saw the Norman Rockwell exhibit.
Confession time I am more or less middle road when it come to Norman Rockwell. Oh Not say I am dead or emotional less toward them. If I could of I would of taken some photo. But there were sign no pictures.

But what I enjoyed the female Indian exhibit. There were quite a few basket made out of quite a few different types of materials. The size and shapes of them. And designs was totally amazing.

There were plenty of fashion part of exhibit. And Indians like group had there ranking of status among there own community. Chief and those connect directly with him they lived in bigger wigwam and usual there was other so called building for other life.
Like all children they had there toys and items from there childhood. Confession time...I have thought of making doll clothes for my grand daughter dolls. 



Best way to explain this is some part of tribe would ride so called Royal coach. I just don't know any other term to use.

Always want to see KENDALL YARD. When I was growing up it was known as felony flats. And I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I thought they would of been a few more village types of shops there. Maybe I didn't get to see the entire thing.
We ate Kendall yard a place called CENTRAL FOODS. Couldn't tell what every one had I had omelet with squash, caramelized onion, red pepper, and very fine chop bacon. And you can see side potatoes with carrots.


Days being so short and usual I don't struggle like this about shorter days. I make sure I a lease get some sunshine. Today Murphy and I went for a short hike.

On way back we stop where deep creek runs into the kootanai river. I was surprise there was some ice up edge of deep creek.



A little blur. But my weekly page from Bullet journal. Thinking of changing the term from Mindful to just me. I am trying to learn give my self credit and I am important. The only day I didn't mark it off was Friday and Saturday.
But I am improving keeping up on things in my bullet journal.
This morning weigh in and I still not under 200 pounds on scale at my home. I looking forward being below 199.75
Hopeful I can share about quilts I saw at Museum very soon.

Today Is Wednesday November 7, This Is What Happen

Regis and I went down to Sandpoint and do little shopping. He and I aren't much of shopper. Once in while I get something that isn't practical. But I seem to be more attracted to thrift stores. We didn't go to any.

I bought three more smaller tote I can put my smaller piece of fabric on. It been a while since I worked on any organizing fabrics.
I still want to work on organizing my paints under the bed. And that will free up some of the containers.
This weekend Murphy and I are planning to go down and visit Bart and his family, either Saturday or Sunday.
Confession time....Every time I go down to Spokane to visit I don't want to be just asking my son to do something for me.
I know he doesn't mine. But I still don't want to be co depend.
So I believe I will ask if he could cut me some more PVC pipe after Thanksgiving.

I picked kitty snack got a package for my kitty, Ziggy and Abner. Then also Regis cat Buddy and Liz two cat Addition and Spanky.
Plus Liz Birthday gift. I got her some new scissors hers are so dull. Plus some WASHI TAPE

I was looking though Google for Salvage and I was wondering if they had any stores that used term salvage. When I was young they had place called "Alaska Junk"
Ran into a site that caught my eye, called ART SALVAGE. I promise my self I won't check it out any time before my birthday or lease buy anything before that. Definitely take care of the items I got here and there.

After the gorging my self on Cinnamon roll and only did half, and now I am back on track. I was curious if it but on any weight. Simple and stright answer would be "yes" and also I had bowl of chicken noodles soup. Which was way to salty.
Looking forward being under 200 with next weigh in at T.O.P.S

Today Is Wednesday November 6, This Is What Happen

Notice I haven't put on the years in post title. Well sometime I should put the year on. I been craving a cinnamon roll. See there only two days of week I sort of let the sweet and such get out of control, Tuesday and Wednesday.

So the only place I knew that had Cinnamon roll was up at BREAD BASKET even with having a cinnamon roll. I tried to keep my calorie count with in my limited. I had 2,479 in calorie. Try to keep under 2,310. Well I did the math I am over by 169 calories.

I only ate half and I will let my hubby have the other half or toss it out. I feel overwhelm with all that sugar.

But my satisfaction has been well taken care and actual I am overly satisfaction now.
Best thing I did have plan and I follow though on my plan, to eat my cinnamon roll.



Today is Pretty routine. So I mention or have I mention the 5-4-3-2-1 plan. It was in the book I just finished reading, Bullet Journal Method.
The 5-4-3-2-1 is pretty simple what is your goal in five years, four months, three weeks, 2 days, and one hour.
The strange thing I can come with five year one. But the other time frame I struggle. All of the other one I seem to be missing something that I couldn't complete it.

Today over on facebook and I am trying to spend less time there. Last month of October 2019 I had posted, comment, liked 360 post on facebook, not counting groups. Which breaks down to per week is 90. My goal was to cut it down my 25% and right now I have either share, comment, and liked 17 post on facebook. Actual I am good with my goal target and I feel less stress.
I had chance to stop by some blogs I haven't visited for while and even a few new ones.

Question time...Wondering why some people relate money being intelligent and or smart with money.

Today Is Tuesday November 5, This Is What Happen

Right now I am trying to figure where and what order to post my thoughts and actual event. I am trying to lay low off of facebook, usual the post just inflame me.
One of my relative post this on facebook not sure if he got it from some place else or came up with it on his own. "American Needs To Down All Mosques and Ban Islam. Bet You Want Post This" He wonder if anyone was going to share his post.
There those same relatives in mid sixty who thought  blacks having human rights was just plain wrong and believe me there thinking hasn't change. Now there up set that different part of gay community is asking for basic human right.
Statement time....I was born into the wrong family. I can relate to LISA SIMPSON 
After work today my husband and I went down and voted on a water levy. They want to get a bond so things can be up dated.
Anyone in Cabinet Mtn Water Dist can vote regardless if you are hooked up to it. There asking for under 9 million dollar.
It not going to increase property tax but if passes our monthly water rate will go up. Any how they didn't explain it very well how it will be paid for. I went to one of there meeting and talk to the board.

This morning I woke with horrible anxiety and I surely wasn't going to let it control my life. Went to weigh in at our local T.O.P.S meeting and for there scales I had maintain.
There scale says I weigh 200 pounds even.
Confession time...I am craving a Cinnamon roll. Just might have to stop in at THE BREAD BASKET to get a cinnamon roll.
I try to limited my sweet to Tuesday and Wednesday.

After weigh in I meant my friend Quenella at UNDER THE SUN for some coffee there something new they start, a coffee club.
It simple you bring your own cup and they place it in the old bolts, washer, screws and such...holders. Not sure what correct term is.
See at one time Under the Sun was hardware store called "Lindsay and Helmer Hardware" It was even neat business back then.
I hope there coffee club works out I see lot fun possibilities.
My cup I brought in for the coffee club. Paid a quarter for it at local thrift shop. Can you guess what my zodiac sign.

Did get anther Seattle choc bar. A would prefer it more of darker chocolate. But so far I liked the Seattle Chocolate.

At our local library later on in month they will be hosting Mary who wrote a book called FINDING THE LIGHT WITH IN.
So Quenella and I went across the street I got book.
The local book store also carries a few other neat items. They have some interesting cards and thought of sending this to my friend Lottia.
I didn't know anything about who put out this card. I went to there site, SYRACUSE CULTURAL WORKERS



At Apartment where Regis live there raking them into big pile and hauling them off. Confession time...I felt like running a real fast and jumping into the pile of leaves.
