Don’t let me go out looking like a wuss!!

I hope when I inevitably choke to death on one of these gummy bears people just say I was killed by bears and leave it at that.

This is an actual picture of Sammi cheating at cards! Wakely is calling her out.  Soon there will be shots fired and a saloon girl ready to take your order!   🤣

Cards

I bought my granddaughter Sammi 8 card games for her birthday and I bought extra for here…. I’m having to read all the rules cause she tries to cheat! 😂

Temperature Blanket Coming Soon

I've been on a creative journey for the past 7 months, tackling a badass project called the temperature blanket. Originally, my daughter was going to join in the madness and do one too, but with 7 little rascals running around, she fell behind. So now, it's just me trudging along, crocheting away at this monstrous blanket.

Now, let me give you some context here. I haven't always been the best at finishing what I start, and even my husband had his doubts about this one. But guess what? We're entering the 8th month and I haven't fallen behind, not even ONCE... but that leaves me with 5 months left to screw it up so lets not jinx it!

My husband and I have even turned this project into a topic of conversation every evening.  We talk about the temperature and he tries to predict what color I'll use for that day or the week, before I do the math.  

But let me tell you... it's not your average cozy throw.  This blanket is ginormous. I was an overachiever back in january when I started this thing!  I mean, once it's finished, it's going to be big enough to cover my king size bed. 

It's time to make communication great again!

My daughter, bless her heart, never answers her phone. She gives excuse after excuse about it too.  She's too busy or it didn't ring or she's playing hide and seek with it and can't locate it.  But here's the thing.... What if I was dying!?   I mean... I'm not a spring chicken anymore... what if my life depends on her answering the phone or I'm literally bleeding out?  I could be having an allergic reaction to something or a brain freeze while eating ice-cream.. I don't know... but damn... if the phones making that noise... how can you just ignore it?  Regardless, what's the point of having a cell phone if you don't at least KNOW where your phone is when it's ringing?? 

Remembering the good ol' days when having a house phone meant you could get an answer.  Even if it was a kid or someone out of breath.  Hell, we use to fight to the death to be the one that answered the phone... and THEN were disappointed if it wasn't for us!  Now people hit ignore!  And back in the day... if you called and it rang with no answer, that meant noone was home to answer it. AND because we didn't want to miss a call we got a cell phone, but NOW people aren't answering anywhere!  It's a vicious cycle and downright maddening!! I say we bring back the good ol' reliable house phone!
