I haven't decided yet, cause I slept good last night, but I just bought American Dirt and Presidential Lottery. American Dirt because it keeps popping up everywhere but not sure I'll like it. And Presidential Lottery because it's by James A Michener a fav author. And I finally figured out the element that makes me like a book - storytelling! I can't quite explain it but that's it. :-P Did your projects pass last week? Or too soon to know?

Morning everyone :)
We had our first snow yesterday afternoon. It lasted about 5 minutes then melted lol
Hope all are well and having a great Lumi

Hiii!! Happy Monday :3 I hope you had a good weekend! <3

It can definitely take a little while to get a business going. Don't give up yet!! <3 <3 How was your weekend?

I'm glad you're having a good Lumi so far! I feel you, I still need to finish putting gifts under trees XD I've been slacking the last few days.

I love your new HA!! 😍 I hope you had a great weekend! <3 I spent my weekend making candy and visiting with my Dad.

one done, one still in progress. Will see if I get it done today.

Storytelling is very important! 💙

I love YOUR new HA!!! :-) What kind of candy? Glad you got to spend some time with your dad!! <3

Great HA!! I see you got the new membership item. I hope it all goes well!! <3 Yes and I just figured out that storytelling was my main priority when I read a book.

I like this new monthly item a lot!

It's a great feeling to understand better what you like, don't you think?

I'm still working on it. I think one of the most important things in literature for my enjoyment is viewpoint. A consistent viewpoint with personality! Next is a believable world depicted, and probably storytelling and characterization are next.

And it's blue so perfect for you!! I really do love blue too! I think I realized what I like about certain authors and books due to talking about books and writing with you. I became more analytical about what I read and decided that was it. All of the other points you mentioned - I'm still catching up to you! :-D

Ah, I see. You drove 45 miles to go to Golden Corral? You really wanted that buffet, haha. xP I'm not much of a salad person, to be honest. I know the rest of my family used to like the salad (when it was good), though. I'm guessing they didn't have as much food to choose from, though? Little ones are always cuter. xP I see pictures of my cats when they were little, and it reminds me of how small, cute, and fluffy they used to be.

Next week I should get more sleep, not this week, though. xP Last week of overnights. ^^ I'm glad your week should be relatively smooth, though! I hope you have something fun planned to pass the time? Or maybe just relaxing?

Ah, yes, moving can be difficult, especially when young. I moved around a lot when I was a kid, and the transitions were always difficult. There came a time when it was weird to not move at the end of every year, haha. It definitely made making friends more difficult. But I hope your son adjusts soon, and you can get some good sleep! In the meantime, I suppose theirs always coffee and naps?

I'm kind of surprised you aren't working extra next week!! Fun for me is doing nothing. :-P I did have a little bit of free time today and I made some small pillow cases for the travel pillows on mine and my daughter's beds.

I get the feeling you'll catch up and then fly right past me!

thank you dear, you didn't have to look for one.. not sure i would be able to work it as well as you have anyways xD

ello, actually i had a kinda shitty weekend, i was all depressed and tired. nothing got done. i think i am finally feeling better. how was yours?

we always let the grand kids choose where they want to go eat. and that's what he wanted.
I love cats but my hubby doesn't. he likes dogs and I don't lol. so we have no pets. but I still like to look at pics of them.

LOTS AND LOTS OF COFFEE XD

Thank you so much 😍 We make many kinds of candy 😅 Almond joys, peppermint patties, peanut butter balls, pretzels, etc... We make about 25 different kinds XD

Ugh, I'm so sorry! 😭 I'm glad you're feeling a little bit better now D: I had a good weekend! Was just so busy. So glad it's over lol

I'm surprised they aren't having me work overnight next week, too. Maybe it's because the deadline to get your items by Christmas has already passed? The carriers are really backed up. We haven't had as many orders recently, either. ^^ Haha, I feel guilty when I don't do anything all day. xP Ooh, you made some pillow cases? Sewing or knitting?

Ahh, so it was your grandson's choice, that makes a little more sense, haha. I'm pretty much sick of all the places close to where I live. xP Wow, haha, you and your husband don't like the same pets. Do neither of you like other animals, like fish or birds or hamsters or something? Me, personally, I love cats and dogs, but there's only cats at my parents' house. I have to wait until I move out.

Yus, all the caffeine! Working overnights, I drink so much caffeine, haha. Coffee and black tea and diet soda. Anything to help keep me awake. xP It's not as bad when I'm at work and doing something, but sometimes I want to fall asleep before I go to work, haha. Are you more of an ice or hot coffee person?

I used to work at a coffee shop and I would drink about 10 cups xD I like iced coffee and hot coffee. I guess it depends on my mood at the time xD

Phfff! lol Are you taking any days off for Christmas?

Oh please! You make great HA's! I've told you that several times! Are the kids getting excited for Santa?

Wow! that's impressive!! Almond Joys!! Yummy!

I cheated. I took regular sized pillow cases and just cut them down and sewed them. Super easy!!

I'm taking this Friday and the following Monday off, and then I have the days between Christmas and New Years off.

Love love the new ha!!! You keep knocking them out of the park!

Hey turd Im sorry I disappeared T.T

Ready for the holidays?

Oh boy snow!!

Congrats on the new job!!

That's great you're getting so much time off!! Lots of time for writing! :-)

Thank you!! Isn't it funny how we go through creative HA spurts? I was tickled with my current one and I had been thinking about it for a few weeks. Yours are super creative lately too!! I love how you tied in all of those colors. 👏
