like its definitely bigger than a dehydrator or a pressure cooker but you can get a small stainless steel table for it and have it in the corner of the house or a room XD its well worth it to be able to preserve food for 20+ years lol

thanks I have it on (with the layering slightly altered)

Your current one with the gold high/low skirt ruffles is really pretty!

OMG! She sounds so adorable. :-D

I'm glad they're over protective!!!!!

Right when I hit Post I saw your HA wearing it. :-) Thank you!!

she totally is...she makes me laugh SO much! And her dad and her brother :P LOL

I think that's healthy to just let it all go and have your own positivity :) haha I've never heard that one. How are you today? My knee scooter arrived today. Gotta say it is really fun lol. It's also allowing me to rest my foot so when I've walked there's been a lot less pain so I think its a win :D

ooh? So whatcha gonna do? It sure did! Gotta say it is really fun lol. It's also allowing me to rest my foot so when I've walked there's been a lot less pain so I think its a win :D

they do. Almost song like. The demo make it look easy so I don't know. It's very frustrating. yes me too. I'm looking forward to the new kit. Yeah I think the succulent garden will be fun. My knee scooter arrived today. Gotta say it is really fun lol. It's also allowing me to rest my foot so when I've walked there's been a lot less pain so I think its a win :D

YES exactly! I've had a lot of resentment over the years with my mom and feeling "forced" to keep a relationship with her and well things did NOT work out that way (going after my kiddo and the fact that she wasn't potty trained and other "things" she shouldn't have done) pushed me to the point where I was like OK you are out of my life forever sorry! I put up with the crap because its my mom but the minute you come after my kid whom you should love exactly as she is no matter what? You are OUT. :P And you've never heard Not my circus not my monkeys? basically people are crazy and its not your problem cause it their circus LOL! Oh that sounds LOVELY on your knee scooter! I've twisted ankles before and knees and its horrible trying to get around...had to do that once when my daughter was like a few months...it was horrible. I used my office chair to swoop back and forth/use the crib to stand up, pick her up, sit back down/swivel to bed for feedings/diaper change LOL but the chair helped out a lot....there were times I had to crawl to the bathroom and that totally sucked so I'm really glad you have a scooter and its helping <3

well its cool today and its calling for rain all week here.

what color was it? XD sorry ive changed a few times since you might have posted just catching up on pings now

I hope you have the most fabulous week :D

I am doing well as well :D

it sure has! So adorable and soft xd.

I love how cute your new ha is too!

I didn't get quite as much done as I'd hoped, but nearly there, and hoping to finish today/tonight. Which is the definite last minute and I hate that, but what can I do

You can do it!

LOL, I don't remember either but it was a beautiful gown

Thank you so much for all of the ideas :O writes everything down I actually checked your message before going to the craft store on Saturday anddd it gave me an idea. A very messy one at that lol Tie dying! So we did that on Saturday! I saw those little bead things you mentioned and definitely thought about adding that to our list! Idk if you ever did this but, when I was a kid it was super popular to make little bead animal keychains. You took just like regular plastic beads and colored string and made little animals. Does that ring a bell to you? Let me see if I can find a picture. OMG I found a picture! I was obsessed with these when I was a kid XD I think Jesse is too young for them yet but omg I want to make some LOL

Oh that's really really good! We've never had any here yet knocks on wood But we've had them in states near us, so scary.

No bahahaha but sorta close to what I mean XD Awww why don't you like Marigolds? They are so pretty! Their leaves smell odd but still beautiful 😍 Their texture is so so bad.... It's like chewing and it's just staying the same shape. It's horrible! It's like chewing on rubber or something XD YUCK! hisses at green onions YAY for the outlets being done! Have you started on your massive amount of candy? XD

32 weeks? Jealous! When I was pregnant with my first I worked up until 39 weeks. It was AWFUL! I say stop working as soon as you can XD I would come home in such pain that I could hardly move.

Happy Mondayyyyyy!! <3 Did you have a good weekend?

It's a blackberry plant! I picked two small little ripe ones and me and my mom ate them. Definitely blackberry but they were so sour lol We are just going to leave them for the critters out back :3 OMG Did you like Stranger Things? I'm rewatching it right now XD

Hi turd :P

Till next masq then lol

DUUUDE thos bead lizards were the shit, if you could make one you were in the money in school XD

RIGHT?!?! I was obsessed with them LOL! I might have to get that as my next craft project for me and Jesse. He can make like a necklace or something XD

- yes, that definitely is a benefit . :) problem is that there is, literally, no place to put it. we have a small apt and space is at a premium. i already employ creative techniques to store everything we need daily. everything else is in a storage unit in town. we don't even have room to put up a christmas tree. lol the exercise bike was/is considered more important and so it got the christmas tree's spot. the only way more space will be found is if one of the amps blow up. but then i'll have to listen to the guys whining about their guitars not working. so, the only hope is a bigger place. i asked hubby if he wants to move and got a resounding "no" in response. 😆

- i am too but sometimes it can be smothering. ;)

- you know that the demo you watched was probably cobbled together from 4,500 takes. lmao 😂 ok, what is a knee scooter? is it wheels you attach to your leg? like a mini walker but with wheels? or is it one of those scooters i used to see people riding around in walmart? i'm glad it's helping you. it must be a relief to get some pressure off your leg so it can heal. maybe you can get a 2nd knee scooter for your other leg? :D (yeah, i have no idea what a knee scooter is. ;P ) - well, inexpensive isn't always horrid, ya know? and you gals have great ha creating skills. it's not that i'm poor, it's that i have a huge 6 year hole in my wardrobe that is very slow to fill. that's why i put the rules i did. i'd love it if you made an ha for me. i know you're busy so when you've got it ready just post it in my comments. :D ❤

That's so cool! Wild blackberries! Yeah, i guess the wild ones would taste a bit different then the ones that we grow in the gardens.
Yes! I really liked it! Absolutely crazy wild ride thru the whole thing and then at the end, everything made so much sense. I'm looking forward to July now.

It’s so cool we have wild blackberries growing in our backyard! Every year we throw our rotten pumpkins back there and I keep hoping we get a pumpkin patch but nothing yet LOL! I think next year I will try my hand at growing some veggies! I really wanted to this year but it’s getting late in the season and we are trying to cut back on spending with the prices of things going up so much right now >_< OH MY GOSH RIGHT?? I’m so excited for the last 2 episodes.

I hear you. Family can do that to you. I know I had a lot of pain and resentment towards my dad's mother. It took a long time to get to the point that I'm okay about everything.
I figured out the meaning but still never heard the expression before. the scooter is working so well. My pain is down. I got to go to my doc apt today with it and wasn't hurting and could use the scooter to put my leg up so it's wonderful :D

aww thank you :). I love yours too. Nice a colder feeling for this extreme heat

oh awesome :D Tie dying is fun :D LOL no I never did those when I was a kid but it's cute :D I remember seeing them.

haha probably. It's a scooter with wider wheels and the seat is actually for your knee. you walk with your knee on it. It's an alternative to crutches. LOL I think two would be dangerous. So my doc apt went well. my a1c was down which is great. I know how an eye apt tomorrow. they had a cancelation. It's taken me 6 months to get my a1c down enough that we can do the eye apt.
