What the Junk?!

Rain!

It hasn't rained here in quite a while.  Today, it rained a little.  It was nice because my car needed washing. lol :p   I needed a few things from Dollar General so I went up there.  The store is doing a remodel and it is all topsy turvy, but I found the item I needed. Yay!  I also got some popcorn balls (yum) and a roll of jack o lantern ribbon.  Very cute!  The thing I went for was one of the Sterlite brand snap lid boxes that I use for washi.  I had the three boxes I had full and overflowing.  I even had a little mini box with some in it.  Now I have all my washi in four boxes all neat and organized.  It's weird because the first two boxes are identical and the last two are identical.  The first two had solid color teal inside dividers.  The last two have clear blue dividers.  I wish they were all exactly the same, but I can deal with two and two.  That makes it better. :)   

I did all my usual sunday things, bed linen, hair, etc.  I pulled out my fall/winter quilt.  I smelled of it and it is pretty stinky.  I stored it with the pillow shams and they smell fine!  So weird.  I'm washing it now and I just need to dry it.  My bed linen is all ready to go back on the bed, I just need the quilt.  

I started on a new puzzle today and got a good portion of it done.  I started late, too.  It's a lot of the same colors so the rest of it is going to be hard but fun.  It's going to be pretty when it's done!

Starbucks on a Saturday!

I had not planned to have Starbucks today.  I had every intention of staying home and getting things done.  I did need to run to the store to pick up a few items and I was about to dress for that.  My friend that never wants to go anywhere called and wanted to go to Starbucks.  I told her that I was about to run to pick up a few things at the store.  She took me to the store and we got Starbucks. lol   I finished the puzzle before I went out.  It's so pretty!  I'll post it below.  

I washed a load of clothes today.  My brand new shirt I got at the beach was stained from my friend's dogs the other day.  I checked it before I put it in the dryer and it's a good thing I did.  The stain was still there.  I swear my washing machine sucks!  I worked on it and then tossed it in with another batch of laundry to wash.  Hopefully it will come clean this time.  I will never get another washing machine like this one.  It's not very good. I didn't pick it out, so I had to choice in the matter. It's so frustrating!  It's one of those with no center thingee and it's also 'low water' wash.  It just doesn't work as well as a traditional washer!  Oh well, it's all I have, so I'll have to use it!

Here is the puzzle I finished.  I really enjoyed doing this one.  I am not sure which one I'll pick next.  We'll see tomorrow! :)

Friday frenzy!

Yeah, not really. :P  It's been a pretty calm day.  I had to go pick up my prescriptions, so I did that this afternoon. My car did so well! I was so happy with it.  I had to run out again a little bit ago and it didn't do as well. :(  It turned off on me and didn't want to go like it should.  I was able to get where I was going though, so that was good.  I got the things I needed and picked out this year's pumpkin! He is a cutie and they had pumpkins for $1.99 so he was a good price too!  I, of course, took a picture to share.

I started on another puzzle today and it's pretty.  It's colorful, but there are distinctive sections, so it's easy to find pieces for each section.  I am going to do the rest tomorrow, but I got a good deal done today.  I have a migraine that is mainly in the sick on my stomach stages, but when I went out this last time, there was someone in line behind me that had enough cologne on to kill a cow.  They stuck and it made my headache come raging back.  Then I drove home and got two different people behind me with ultra bright headlights. I'm glad to be home and in my room!

Flipping puzzles!

So, I finished the puzzle today.  It was so pretty all put together.  I went to flip it to tape it and keep it and it fell apart. ~_~;  I put it back in the box for now.  I'll re-do it at some point. I have so many others that I don't want to re-do it right now.  I took a picture of the completed puzzle, so that was good.  I also have a picture of it after I tried to flip. What a mess! :p

Of course when I tried to work on getting it back together, the pieces separated more.  That is why I didn't just put it back today.  It fell apart even more putting it in the the box. LOL!  Oh well, it will be fun to work it again in the future.  

Midweek time!

Okay, so last night, Chrome was acting up early on.  I did all kinds of things and nothing worked.  I thought it was my Mac because Chrome on my phone was working fine.  I opened Safari on the Mac and everything loaded on there with no issues.  I contacted Google support and the first rep told me to clear my data.  That didn't fix the issue and it made another problem.  The second rep told me to disable each of my extensions at a time to see if one of them were the issue.  It WAS one of my extensions.  So I cleared the data for nothing and now all my history, logins, passwords, etc are gone! :(  I re-contacted Google (this time via email) to see if there was any way to get that back, but I am pretty sure it's gone for good.  This makes me sad.  I know all the passwords I use, so it will be a test of which one is it when I go to a site I have an account.  It's also going to be fun trying to remember which user name or email I use with that site. AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!  At least Chrome is working. lol

So, yesterday, I was looking at some things in my room and wanted to organize more stuff.  If you have read my blog in the past, you know I love to organize stuff.  I went on the Target site to look for items.  This is when I found out that Chrome was wonky.  I was able to look at the Target site on my phone and saw that they had what I wanted.  I went over there and looked at the item and the other items that were similar and ended up getting one I liked a lot more that was five dollars cheaper. Yay!

What is the item, you ask?  It's a little shelving unit that I wanted to organize some stuff.  I meant to take a picture of it before I put it in it's spot, but forgot.  I took a couple of pictures of it in use, it's hard to get a picture at the angle I had to work with, so I grabbed a picture of the stock photo too.  The stock photo is silver tone and the one I got is black, but you'll see in these pictures:

I am using it for some of my boxes.  The ones on the bottom have extra bujo supplies and the ones on top are full of washi tapes!  I also put my binders with my Starbucks card collection and some of my journals.  Past bullet journals, some empty Moleskines, and a few others.  So far I haven't put anything on top. I haven't decided on what I want to put on top yet.  I really like it.  It makes everything so organized and easy to find.

Today, I went to eat with my friend and afterwards, we went to Goodwill.  I got quite a lot of goodies.  One of the things was a puzzle.  It's an old puzzle and it's round!  I thought that was unique, so I bought it.  I hope it's complete.  I also started a new puzzle today.  I didn't get as much done as I would like, because I was working on it when my friend texted about eating.

After I got home from that, my other friend needed to run to Target and wanted me to ride with so I could get Starbucks in Target. I had called her to go to Starbucks, but she didn't want to.  She called back and said she needed to go to Target and I could get Starbucks there.  I prefer to get Starbucks from the main Starbucks, but I took would I could get! Now I'm going to post the current puzzles progress and a picture of the cool round puzzle I bought. :)

D'oh!

I have a lot to say and not enough time to say it for today's post. I'll post a good post tomorrow.  I just got Chrome back to working on my MBP and I had to contact Google support to do it. It's working now, but now I have other stuff I need to catch up on.  I'll post tomorrow! :)

Mmmm Starbucks....

I needed some light bulbs today and I needed to recycle, too.  The recycle bins are in the same shopping center lot as Roses and Dollar General.  I figured if Roses didn't have the bulbs I needed, I could go to DG.  Roses had some and they were a good price too! I got a box of the ones I needed and two boxes of the ones I use most.  I needed 40 watt because I have a small lamp and that is the biggest you can use.  Every other lamp or light fixture in my house is 60 watt.  I got two boxes of those.  I also got a package of pens. (as if I need more!) and a box of tissues.  I avoided temptation and passed on a huge container of caramel corn.  I wish I had bought that. lol

So, I was out, I had done my recycling, and picked up my bulbs. My car was doing okay, so I decided to go to Starbucks.  I got a nice Caramel Ribbon crunch Frappuccino. YUMMY!  I needed some Starbucks as it was back in the 80's today!  YIKES! Crazy ass weather.  

I pulled out a puzzle today.  It was the last of the 300 pieces ones I bought.  I did it all today.  It had a lot of different colors and stuff in it, but it wasn't too hard.  It was different cakes.  I enjoyed working on it.  I had planned to do part today and the rest tomorrow, but I took a break and went back and started working on it again and finished it! 

Sunday sameness...

Yes, it's Sunday so that means bed linen, hair, and miscellaneous! lol  I've not done much more than that.  Sad, isn't it?  I did finish the puzzle.  It took a bit longer than planned.  Why? Because when I flipped it to tape it, part of it fell apart and I had to re-do that part.  I got it fixed and then it happened again. LOL!  I finally got it together.  The pieces didn't fit really snugly so that is why it didn't stick together so greatly.

I'm not sure which of the many, many puzzles I'll do next. Hopefully one that sticks together better than this one!  Yeah, I'm struggling for something to post. lol I'll just share the puzzle and call it good. :P

Fall?

Well, yesterday it was in the 90's here and today when I looked at my weather app it was 56˚!  No, seriously! It was cool enough today that I was able to turn the air off.  I am not taking it out of the window just yet, because it could get hot again.  Who knows with this crazy weather!

I went out this afternoon and went to a local store that makes their own chicken salad.  The stuff is amazing.  I got a container of that, a little smidge of country ham, and an orange. They have a little bit of everything in there. It's a small, local business that has been there for a long time.  I love the chicken salad and I hadn't gotten any in awhile.  It was delicious! 

I didn't do much today.  I watched a ton of episodes of Web Of Lies (It's a show on Investigation Discovery that I love) I worked the puzzle too.  I didn't finish it even though it's only 300 pieces and they are big pieces.  I decided to finish tomorrow because the puzzle is really busy.  Lots of colors.  You'll see when I post a picture with this post.

I put my outside Halloween decorations out today.  With the cooler weather, it felt more like October and fall.  I put out a little flag, a ghost on a pole, and my two scarecrows.  I also lit up the electric pumpkins that I keep in the window in my living room.  My house has an old picture window and they look so cute in there!  I still want to get a real pumpkin before Halloween.  I usually get one every year and keep it in my room until it starts to go bad.  They usually last well into Spring, but last year's didn't.  I hope this years lasts longer!

  

NaNoPrep on Friday :p

I lead such an exciting life. LOL  I have been working on NaNo prep today.  My MC is going to be out of the compound and she is going to be hiding in an old barn near an abandoned farmhouse.  I went looking for pictures for inspiration and I found some good ones.  I have a picture of a house, a barn, and some interior pictures to use for reference and inspiration.  I put them in my Scrivener file for this year's NaNo.  My book is tentatively titled, "The Long Road Home".  

I finished the puzzle today.  It's a pretty one.  I'll share it below.  I just went to the NaNo site and was able to finally get the site to update my project.  It's a whole new site and it's been buggy.  I am hoping everything gets worked out before NaNo actually begins!  I am so happy to have the correct title up and the cover I created. Yay!

How I'm using Evernote today:  I have all my character descriptions backed up in Evernote since it was an Evernote template that I used.  I also used the search feature in Evernote to see which one of my character I made a seamstress. Seems I didn't make any of them one, so I fixed that.  Thanks for the search feature Evernote! You saved me a lot of time. :)
