We are in June, and the weather is nice, at least it is today. Sometimes it rains, but that seems to be a normal thing for my area. Great weather is wonderful, but having a fridge break down isn't. We were able to save most of the food, but we did lose a few things. I would say we went for almost a week, maybe 5 days using an ice box. We borrowed my sister-in-law's, and the only thing they forgot to put in it, was the plug, so the water wouldn't leak out. We managed though, we had to regularly drain the water outside. My husband happened to run into her at the grocery store, so that was a good thing. Her igloo was huge, and it was perfect for us to have what we needed in the kitchen. My husband ordered 2 fridges, one downstairs in the basement, for overflow groceries. We already have a deep freezer, but sometimes that gets maxed, and with Continue Reading
Weigh-in #6 – Keeping On Track
Life is so busy, I forget to post my weigh-in progress in a timely manner. Some things are unavoidable. But as you see by the title, it has been another successful weigh-in. Sometimes I don't know how I can manage my time better. I have a lot of distractions that cannot be helped. Moving on to the weigh-in, here is my latest weigh-in photo. This photo made my legs look weird lol. Those are the kitty slippers I was talking about in another post. I have my eyes on a pair of Hello Kitty slippers similar to these. These are very comfy by the way :) I lost 2.7 lbs, I am happy with that. I have to admit I am a little worried about Sunday's weigh-in. I say this because we had rice a few times this week, not a lot, like 1/2 cup. We haven't eaten rice in about 2 years, just has a lot of carbs. But we have to rotate our stash so that it Continue Reading
Merry Christmas, See You In 2023
I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, and a prosperous New Year. My husband is off for the next 10 days, and we are going to enjoy each other's company, and try not to get into each other's way, as that can happen sometimes. I try to give him some space, and let him do his thing. Our Christmas has been nice so far. Just last weekend, we went to my in-laws for our annual Christmas luncheon, it was very nice. We had a great time, and I recorded everyone playing the game, that was so much fun. I lost, but my husband won, which was very cool. I think I gained like 15 pounds, and we still are going to my sister-in-law's on Christmas day for our Christmas luncheon. Speaking of gaining weight. One of my New Year's resolutions is to get back on the treadmill, which my husband bought me a couple of years ago. At that time I was on a Continue Reading
I Think It Is Time To Let This Domain (Emily.nu) Go
It is good until April 2023, and since I am not really doing much with it besides an occasional blog post, I don't see a point in paying so much for the domain name. Times are hard, and I have to let some things go, this and maybe another 2 domains. I have had this for almost 10 years, wow. But even so, it is time. I have said this at least 2 times before and never did it. What I want to do is import all my posts from this blog, into my other blog, even if I have 2 posts on the same day. But figuring that out was my issue before. I am hoping I have better luck this time around. I enjoy blogging, and I wish I could do it more, but time is the issue. I write in my planner as if it was a daily blog summarizing of course. Typing is easier, and faster, but I also enjoy using my colored pens, they are so much fun to write with. And people Continue Reading
