Today Is Sunday January 12 2020, This Is What Happen

Wasn't sure if I was going to post or not. We lost power for about an hour and half. I live off grid for a bit. I was much younger. With living off grid one to get a work out and I had less flab.
Since power went out and hasn't ready for it and note a few things we need to get.
Let see triple "A" batteries, head band flash light, and some solid base candles. With no scent candles
Then we tried had build a fire in wood stove in basement and which hasn't been use since about year ago.
Our main heat is natural gas. Wood is back up. The chimney had snow in it. So we had to get out latter and hubby went up on roof. I held the latter and was going to be gopher if anything was to be needed.
After the snow was remove from chimney it could draft properly

I have plenty of U.F.P and bet some of you are thinking. "Don't she mean U.F.O" no I mean U.F.P Unidentified Project.
Well I finished up a crochet dish cloth. I have no ideal when I even started.

Work a little bit on organizing my fabrics. Wish it was going at a faster rate, it going.
Since we didn't have power I decided to work on binding on a lap quilt I started, which I think was two or three years ago.
Well strongly leaning toward getting a binder foot.

Since on subject of creativity and thought giving a shout out for my daughter in law business, WOOF WEAR AND COMPANY and just recently they came with Valentine line for the fur babies.

My hubby Grandma mother when she made her chicken noodle soup, she use chicken feet for flavoring for the broth.
It pretty basic boil the chicken feet for a few minutes and cool them off, cut the nails off and if anything don't look right.
Simmer them pot of water with bay leaf and thyme for four hours. Also was add some veggies for flavoring. Strain and drain you toss out chicken feet and what every else and save the broth. Add some regular cooked chicken, veggie and noodles. I made the noodles.

Work day tomorrow not sure when I will leave it depends on how much snow is dumb. 

Today Is Saturday January 11 2020, This Is What Happen

I thought I would space some winter photo in today post. Over last night we got 7 inches of snow (17 cm)
So hubby ran the snow blower and I handle the shoveling. There anther round coming though of snow and actual right now it lightly snowing.

Question time...Have you every felt like you should be doing something? I feel like I need to be productive and believe me there plenty of things to do.
There plenty of unfinished projects around here. A lease I am smart enough not to start anything. Let keep our fingers cross I don't start anther project.

On yesterday post. Quite a few people said they couldn't do a you tube video and they were to shy. I have my moment of shyness. Actual I an INTROVERT and I sure wouldn't call my self shy.
But there is time when know one is around during the day, that I will have no sound. Which is very rarely. My hubby and both my clients need back ground noise.
Now I am one who needs noice at night to sleep and before I got married I couldn't sleep pretty much with noice.

Confession time....I don't want to stop learning and do new things. Guess one could say I want to do and experence new things in life. Expand my wing in life.
No! I am not going to try sky diving.
So even world of techie and social media there new things I want to experince. Still trying to figure out this putting an ad on my blog.
I know I won't be able to retire off it, but there nothing wrong with supplement one income either as either your in work force or retire.
But the only type of ad I want on my blog small to med one below my post.
Then also learn to sit the right setting on my camera, so photo won't have so much blue hue.

As for my goals yesterday I did a small bit on organizing fabric. And odds and ends around the place.
My digestion is better but not up to complete par. Hubby and I call these cute little thing "Pumpkins with a dunce cap"

Today Is Thursday January 9 2020, This Is What Happen

So glad most of day an bathroom was close at hand. Not sure if I got some type of stomach bug, ate some bad food, or not aware of possible diary.
I am careful not to consume milk products.
So I believe this will be a short post.
I been trying to put ad sense on my blog and at our local library they have tutors to help you long with your techie stuff.
Maybe real soon I will show everyone my mis-organize fabric. I stayed in my calorie count. Oh there winter storm on it way

Today Is Wednesday January 8, This Is What Happen

Couldn't or had trouble keeping my day of week straight. I kept think it was either Tuesday or Thursday.
Haven't done many photos in my blog posting.

 

This is last thing I ate this evening, anther chocolate bar from SEATTLE CHOCOLATE and yes I was at Under the sun, this morning having a cup of coffee and one of there cookies.

But actual most my eating was mainly healthy food. The gravy is only 25.5 calories. It one those package things. Veggie was cauliflower.
Calorie count is under by 758

As I was organizing some of my fabrics, and it sure takes a long time. Confession time...I was quite serious about purchasing fabric at thrift store. But they had nothing that took me by the arm. 
Didn't have that many boards cut and ready to wrap fabrics on. But as I was ironing I listen to couple of PODCAST and I listen to TED TALK  and one of cousin POD CAST were he talks about alchemy.

I worked on my different shades of green. I found  it interesting how colors change depending what there next two and surrounding light.

Watch News on PBS as I wrapped the fabric on the boards. I try to get three different fabrics on a board. All these fabrics are under half yard. Or most of world would say a half meter.

 Here are them being laid out in strips and ready to be put on boards.

Quite please with this size of tote or containers to have my smaller fabrics in. Only complaint is how slow it going. Although I had some opportunities in past to do some organizing.
I believe next time will be over the weekend and I will have to cut some boards to size.

The chocolate had milk in it and thought it didn't have all that much in it. It paying hectic with my lower gut or some where and some how I had more dairy then the candy bar.
I keep hearing we going to get hit with winter storm. One news cast says our Thursday storm is mainly to the south. But Friday is covering a wide section of area.

Today Is Tuesday January 7, This Is What Happen

I really don't believe I am all that cranky. Yes I grumble and grip but I try to keep to a down. I am one who believe one needs to be responsible for there decision in life. No the devil didn't make me do it.
Yesterday post I post about retire and said I planning to retire in 2065. I will be 106. My oldest relative was my Aunt Jo who pass on when she was 102.
I will retire in 2025

Our T.O.P.S meeting was called off because of the road condition. My home scale weigh a little heavier then the one at T.O.P.S
I was wondering if I would actual be under 200 pounds on there scale. Weight my self on in my PJ on our scale on home scale  and it was on the nose of 200 pounds.
Usual I get dress and the scales at T.O.P.S will be 2 pounds lighter. I didn't want to risk it. I want to be in the next category down.

Today Is Monday January 6, This Is What Happen

First true Monday that will be complete work week. I like some to routine and my ducks in roll. Yes I under stand that there always that one duck that flutters out of group.

Took about 15 minute break and went and check out what I thought was our local quilt guild. Lot of ladies where member's.
These ladies where working on quilts for QUILTS BEYOND BORDERS we have a chapter here in my home area.
But I would like to be involved in a guild. I need help with mitered corners on my quilts. Although it only sound like the guild really doesn't have a time that they get together and sew.
But couple of ladies said I would be welcome to there church.
The Catholic and Baptist here get together and quilt together. And ask if I had to be a member of there church. One lady said she a Lutheran. But I got a number from one lady who bought an old grade school and I under stand on Thursday they get together and sew. I gave the number a call and left a message.
I wish I paid more attention to when the Catholic and Baptist get together, they would be a lot closer.
But if I need more info the quilting guild meets first Monday of the month at the extension office.

I keep dreaming what I will do when I retire. At this point I will retire sometime between Feb of 2065 and May 2065.
On my 63 birthday I want to see about my BENEFITS from my husband social security. And see what the rules are about me still working and building up mine.
I was stay at home mother when the boys were young and I have a lot of blank years.
I want to be an active retire person, as for my retirement I sure ain't going to jet around the world. But there sure I can be active and enjoy my life.
In a few weeks I can be part of our local senior center. Well the few times I been there they seem to cranky ole things.
I want to go hiking, biking, play games cards and board games, also be involved in different crafts, and most of all learn new things.

Weigh in morning and I need to be under 200 pound range. Our weigh lost group is going up and have a little brunch together.
I feel like I did ok this week. Only a little trouble this afternoon I start to pig out on cookies and pulled my self together. I was stress eating.
Stress eating isn't plan.

December 2019 Report With Yearly Report 2019.

Might all well link where I do my reports, PERSONAL INSIGHT. First one is December and last part is for year of 2020

Summary

You are guarded and excitable.

You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. You are deliberate: you carefully think through decisions before making them. And you are uncompromising: you think it is wrong to take advantage of others to get ahead.

Your choices are driven by a desire for organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.

Summary

You are inner-directed and skeptical.

You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. And you are deliberate: you carefully think through decisions before making them.

Your choices are driven by a desire for organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.

I decided to look into strength and weekness beiefly.

Two things I scored the highest is intellect at 99% and Authority Challenge 97%

Then my lowest ones both at 1% excitment and achivement.

I feel like I can move on to something more creative. Thankful I had entire weekend off. I got my car clean out. So during the week I want to stop in at car wash and vacume it out. 

I thought I had more dish towels. I went though the drawers and only ended up putting one in the rag bag.

To me, the ideal amount dish towels is 9 to 12. But still I should pick up three more and then put away the smaller ones, for rags.

My friend Quenella got me two for Christmas. I real like this one she got me.

Since we're on the subject of kitchen towel drawer. I notice I toss some paper work. Statement time... I thought techie would keep paper mess down. 

I took care of some of it. But I need to go though the file cabinet in basement. But I feel at this point I accomplish over 75% of my weekend goal.

I think "ACCOMPLISH" would be a good word for me in 2020. At first I thought of word "credit" but I just couldn't take hold of that word. the only thing I related to is money and or finances
Once I complete or make honest stab at something I need to give my self credit.

This morning I was still under 200 pounds. On our Tuesday weigh in at T.O.P.S if I am under 200 pounds. I will be different weight lost catagory. Is those weigh between 150 and 200 pounds.
I did set a four month goal for my health is be down 10 to 15 pounds.

Plan to briefly check out our local Quilting Guild tommorow. We're such a small community I don't believe it would be limited to just quilting. I would guess they would expand out to other sewing.

Today Is Saturday January 4 2020, This Is What Happen

One of areas I place my snow people I haven't shown in one my blog post. So I thought I would place it on today's post.

I made 8 items to complete between today and tomorrow. At this point I can truly say I got my table cleared off, my snow people put away. And got my paper work in.

I believe I might complete one or two more task if I didn't get interrupted. One was phone call from my friend Quenella and then Murphy repaired our pet door.
Glad to always here from friends and I sometime an extra pair of hand does come in handy.

I might got a little more done. I have started on the coffee table and organize sort of for up coming video.
Wasn't on my to do list fold a load of laundry

Question time...Have you every bought anything from ad off social media? I find it interesting what they try to sell us. At times I wonder. There been time that MOSCHINO ad have came across some of my social media pages. First of all I couldn't afford anything from this company and if I could I strongly doubt I would purchase from them.
Let see what twitter going try to sell me...Insurance, progressive and some type of reward program.
Facebook and this one I just shake my head at times. Ok let see what ads are paying for my page. Wayfair, My searches which does custom made pens and things like that, Ispy a make company, and Bululu which looks like some type ink craft.
Then on my you tube page I ended up with ad from Fabletics, Fad Fit Fun, and Boom by Cindy Joesph.

It been a while since I did a report and checking. Still have to do a December 2019 and a yearly one for 2019.
I will try have some type of report up tomorrow.

Today Is Friday January 3 2020, This Is What Happen

So glad and hope nothing goes on over weekend so I can get things back in order. A lease I have two days to do it in.
Things I need to complete are table clean off, counter to left of sink, coffee table, put the snow people away, clean out car, organize items for up coming video, and take care of bills. Editor note anther word paper work.
Possible mop the bathroom floor. Yes and one more thing is to up grade my dish towel and clothes.
So I can do 4 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday.

Our weight group T.O.P.S and since I weigh people. There end of year who lost, gain, and stuff like that.
I don't recall all the stats. But our biggest weigh lost was 8 pounds. She would of lost well over 10 pounds but her end year weigh in, sadly she went back up.
From the first weigh in January of 2019 til last weigh in 2019. I lost 4.75 pounds.
Our average lost per person was 2.25 pounds.
Not one of our better years. Although as group we have gain. A weight lost group that gain.
Trying to loose weight and watch a video on someone open CANDY
I guess there no need to explain this. If I some else was watching a candy video and their trying to loose weight I would just shake my head.

The company I work for went direct deposit. I figure I would have a small check when I got home. The company and most home care company has no sick or vacation pay. I should of gotten a pay check on the 28th of December. But I forgot to mail my progress notes in. This week was all so sort cause of New Years.
Next week I should have a full week. If I am figure right my next check should be on the 11th.
I work for home care company who did direct deposit and they messed up so many time.

Went to library and worked in fab lab. I been designing a thread holder. Only wish that the library 3d printer had larger plate to print things on. There largest printer plate is 9 by 10 inches.

It was slushy and I would like to find some shorter or ankle boots, that keep wetness off my feet and dry.

Today Is Thursday January 2 2020, This Is What Happen

Having both Christmas and New Year in Middle of week. Next week things should be some what back to normal. I just won't state a stead fast and solid normal for much of anything.

Over Christmas I went to Oregon as many already know. New Year day we went to my other son in law. We had a lovely lunch. I was quite impress with soup. My son there is a vegan and I was surprise it kept me full.
Plus the fruit salad was colorful. I understand one should eat variety of colors in there diet.
We open and exchange gifts.

Next week I am planning to do a video on what I got for Christmas. Confession time...Things are out of sorts. But it never truly been put together.
I went though some items on table and toss the junk mail in trash can, yes I do get some spam in mail box.

Started to read Martin Chuzzlewit, by Charles Dickens. Not very far into it and he sure toss those adjectives around.

Our pagan group Spairfitera will be gathering not this weekend, but the following weekend. Some had mention an interest in runes, symbols, and hieroglyph.
I lean towards astrology and tarot cards. I have basic understanding and know what they are. But every tribe or area would have some time of runes or symbols. Plus possible pictogram

Well I am with my calorie count and should be able to get a few more steps in.
