What the Junk?!

Poor little guy!

I needed to get a few things at Dollar General today and as I was shopping, I saw this snowman.  The poor thing was missing an eye.  I thought he was cute even with only one eye, so I bought him.  I figured no one else would give him a home.  I came home and was trying to find something to give him another eye.  I went through my bead box and found several potential ones.  I picked one and used it.  It isn't the exact same size as the other, but it works.  I think it gives him personality.  Here is his before and after:

So, what do you think?  I think he is cute!  I didn't do a lot today as it was cold and I was feeling sort of meh.  It is supposed to be freezing rain and yucky weather here tomorrow, so I'll probably be in all day. I'll try to do a few more things in my 2020 bullet journal.  Today, I created my NaNoWriMo word tracker and I did a spread for pen swabs.  I did my roll of Stabilo pens and then at the bottom, I did my Mildliner brush pens.  The page beside it, I did the five packs of Mildliners.  I like it!  I have referred to my pen pages in other bujos so I wanted to add this in. I may or may not do a Crayola super tips page. I'm not sure yet.  I really like the pages I just did!

 

Meh

It has been a long and boring day.  I did get out this evening, though. I went to Starbucks and even though I knew they said their last bottle of cascara ran out on the 7th, I still asked to make sure they didn't have any.  They didn't. :(  I got a caramel macchiato instead.  It was okay, but I prefer my cascara. I'm going to try different things until I find something I like as well as the cascara latte. 

Speaking of Starbucks, I got the last card from the ones I purchased on November 30.  It finally arrived today. It's the corporate one that you couldn't get in stores.  It's pretty cool.  Here it is:

Bleh weather is bleh!

It's been drizzly and overcast all day.  It hasn't been too cold, but with the rain, it made it just nasty.  I am glad I didn't have to go out for anything!  Well, I did go out, but that was because I had Bentto on my mind. It's a Japanese restaurant that I love.  I went by and got an order of teriyaki chicken over their delicious fried rice.  They were closing soon, so they gave me a little extra.  :) That is always nice!  

I added one more tracker in my 2020 bullet journal today. I'm trying to work on it a little at a time so I don't get so worn out of drawing straight lines! lol I put a pen pal tracker in there today.  I want to put my NaNoWriMo tracker in there and I will probably add another Beach bingo for my trips to the beaqch in 2020 too.  Those are fun and easy to create and fill in. :)

Okay then!

I was going to skip posting today and then I remembered that I didn't really post yesterday.  I just showed a picture of my bullet journals!  Those are the 2018, 2019, and 2020 ones!  I have fallen down a Livejournal hole today!  I found a few CDs from where I had backed up an old computer folder a long time ago. On it was a copy of my LJBook that I made back when you could still do that.  That reminded me that at some point I had printed out a hard copy.  I found it and I have been reading it and re-living all those old Livejournal days.  I was so active and fun back then!  I used to do so much stuff. I miss those days!

 

Meh

It has been a long day. I went out to get Starbucks and ended up not getting anything. I will try to check in tomorrow. For now enjoy a picture.

Yes, I'm alive!

Sorry about not posting yesterday.  I had a pretty bad headache all day yesterday and I just wasn't up to posting.  I did have some good things happen in the midst of the headache, though!  My two new Fitbit bands came.  The pale yellow one is so pretty!  I'm saving it for spring. I'm already wearing the aqua one. :P

My Starbucks cards came yesterday.  The set of 20.  Now I am just waiting on the last one I ordered at that same time.  Oh, I also ordered another really old one.  I had seen this one from different sellers on eBay for 11 and up.  I found a seller with one a lot cheaper and I snatched it up!  The collection I got yesterday was nice.  I've already added them to my binder where I keep my cards.  The ones that I already had, I changed out in the binder to the new ones that have the pin covered.  They also have the stickers on the front.  

Yesterday and today, I have been working on my 2020 bullet journal.  I have several trackers ready now.  I have my books, orders, coffee, puzzles, Starbucks store tracker, and a new Starbucks tracker.  I thought it would be fun to track each visit to Starbucks during the year.  I need to add my NaNoWriMo tracker for next year, a penpal tracker, and a few more.  Oh, I also have my gratitude tracker and my Munzee tracker done.  I am trying to decide on some other trackers to add.  Time to hit up Pinterest and look for ideas. :p

Finally!

Well, first of all, the card that Informed delivery told me about two days ago finally arrived today!  Also, I finally got an update on tracking on the package of the 20 Starbucks cards and they are in Roanoke so they should be here tomorrow.  Now I just need that last single card.

I ordered two bands for my Fitbit on Amazon.  They are both from the same 'listing' but they are two different colors.  One band is coming tomorrow via USPS and the other is coming UPS!  WTF?!  So weird!  My teal band has started coming apart and it was my favorite, so I ordered another.  I also saw they had some bands in a pale yellow color.  They looked so pretty in the picture, so I ordered one of those too!  

I did a little work in my Leuchtturm that I got for my 2020 bullet journal. I decided to go with that after all.  I'll use my traveler's notebook to carry with me.  I only have a few pages done in my 2020 bujo, but at least I've started it!  I finished my puzzle today.  It's really pretty.  The last part of it was the hardest. It always seems to go that way!  I am going to share a picture of my newest Starbucks card in my collection, my completed puzzle and the beautiful Kalanchoe I purchased at the grocery store a few days ago.  I haven't had a kalanchoe in a long time and this one wa so pretty, I just had to have it. :)

Whee.

Yay! One of the Starbucks cards I ordered came today and the seller sent a few extras! :D . I love when that happens.  I have one of them, but I didn't have the other one. That is so neat.  The one I ordered was the one in the middle.  Rise and Shine.  I had the Snowman, but it's great to have an extra.  The Dallas card is new to me.  I don't have any Dallas cards. I'm quite pleased with this transaction. :)

    

I started another puzzle today and did a lot more on it than I planned.  It's mostly vegetables, but there is a bit of fruit in it too.  The colors are pretty in this one.  I enjoyed working it.  I should finish it easily tomorrow.  

As for the rest of the cards I ordered, I still haven't received the package. It's 'in transit' again.  The other one that was supposed to be delivered tomorrow has still not been delivered.  I don't know what is going on with that.  I marked it as not received, so hopefully, it will show up.  

Disappointment!

None of the Starbucks cards I ordered came today!  The one set that I had tracking on said it was delayed. BOO!  I got an image from informed delivery that was one of the single cards.  I didn't get anything in today's mail. PHOOEY!  So frustrating. Hopefully, they will both come tomorrow with the other one that was sent at the same time.  

I went to the grocery store today and bought my months worth of groceries. I spent WAY too much.  I still need to get some soda.  I also have a few little things I need to pick up.  I haven't gotten gas yet either.  I'm very low on cash because I sat and paid all my bills.  It's going to be a long month!  Before I totally ran out and before I even added up how much I would have left, I ordered my NaNoWriMo winner shirt! :D . This is my fourth NaNoWriMo win and my first winner shirt.

By the way, I finished the puzzle today.  It's really pretty!  I'll have to pick out another to start tomorrow. :)

Puzzle time!

I got out a puzzle to work today for the first time in over a month.  It was fun to get back to it.  I picked out one from the pile of them I have. I almost did a 1000 piece one but I figured since this was my first one after such a long break to go with the 500 piece one. I got a pretty good start on it even though I didn't start working it until late.  I'll probably finish it tomorrow.  

I didn't mention it the other day, but I've ordered some more Starbucks cards for my collection from eBay!  I got two single cards that I didn't have, a corporate card that you can't get in stores, and a set of 20 cards.  In the set of 20, I do have a few of them, but they are the older cards and the ones I have from back then have been swiped and used.  These will be 'new'.  I think the set of 20 will come tomorrow and two of the singles might make it too.  The third single card wasn't sent out until last night. I love adding to my collection!  I have found a list of the 2019 holiday cards, and I have them so I can pick up the ones I didn't get yet.  I'm doing that via Evernote.

How I'm using Evernote today.  I took screenshots of the cards and I have them in a notebook in Evernote. I've been doing this for all the cards.  I now have the ones I picked up marked off and then it will be easy to find the ones I need to pick up to have a complete collection. I love Evernote!
