Sorry about the house stuff. I love blow molds! I've got a few Halloween ones, the older ones are hard to find! Been looking forever for a Dracula.
Thank you, Frosty~

Very cool!
I'll let you know if I come across one on my searches.
 
TGIF!!!! Hope everyone is having a great Friday. We have been busy purging and decluttering and trying to decide on paint colors :)

Picked up a few more Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers in the past few weeks. Now I just need to find time this weekend to update my gift list.

Cant believe we are under 200 days until the big day and right around the corner from CIJ!!! Not long after CIJ will be back to school the Ber months! Can't wait!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!
Hey Minta!
Happy Friday!! =)
It sounds like you are staying busy with home improvements, it's always a great feeling to get projects like that done.
Hope you guys have a great weekend!
I'm excited for the 'BERS, too!
 
Hang in there snowflake! Hoping for the best for your home, and so glad for your mom's company with you and Har! Love the find she snagged at the garage sales!!
Thanks, DYHWIH!! Appreciate it.

Hope you're having a blessed day!
 
I'll be decluttering some more this weekend too. Great time to do so! I hope you have a great weekend! It's all happening so quickly but I'm not complaining! :)
Hope it goes well, friend!

I need to do some more packing!
 
Good Evening, friends~

It is nasty out there! The severe storms hit much earlier than predicted. It's so dark and loud.

I was able to reach our lender, and we will be closing late.
However, she is able to extend our locked in rate, so we will be fine there.
And we'll just move in as planned before closing. There may have been an option to still close on time, but we would have had to do two appraisals and pay for them both, as well as more paperwork. Our lender prefers to go this route, and we want the less complicated and expensive option as well.

Thanks for all of the kind words, prayers, and messages.

Hope you all have a safe & blessed night!

You're welcome!

She really is amazing! Thanks! <3

I have, it's one that you can't purchase an official dvd of, but I was able to get my hands on it about 10 years back. It was recorded from tv.
That episode is a hot commodity! You search the episode and there's threads wondering why Universal quit releasing the Alfred Hitchcock present [full] collection...everyone wants the full set and particularly that episode.

Thanks, it should be fun to watch together!! :)
Which Hitchcock episode is it? I remember some me of them---wondering if it's one of those that stuck in my mind.
 
Having a tough afternoon. Husband's car broke down on the interstate while i was trying to make up work hours. Will have to take some of my very limited PTO for this week now, and will have to have a tough convo with my aunt who continues to need more help than I can give her. All thoughts and good wishes are welcome! I will be fine but just need a little extra Christmas magic for the next few hours if you please! :)

Sorry to hear about the troubles. Sending Happy Christmas thoughts your way!! frosty.jpg
 
Christmas friends!!!!! Hope everyone is well. We are kicking the weekend off in fashion with yard work and grocery shopping...good times! We are feverishly prepping for next weekend, which is the Deuce's first birthday. That's my nickname for her....Bambina and Deuce. I could just call them by their name, but that wouldn't be as much fun.

I'm about to head out. Talk to y'all later.

Here is another picture:That is my wife in the middle as Batwoman and me as Rorschach. If you are familiar with the movie the Watchman, Rorschach's inkblot mask moves. My mask, sort of moves. It is made with a thermal paint that appears and disappears with my breathing.

Awesome costumes, thanks for sharing! Brilliant idea about that mask.

Thanks everyone, I had a really good day. I got my husband a birthday and Fathers Day gift and I found a dress for my nephews wedding. I'm so relieved!
I'm exhausted from running around all day so I'm going to turn in. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight <3
Glad you found your dress AND some gifts. What did you end up getting for your husband if I may ask?

Good evening,

I am all caught up, I started tonight 835 posts behind at 830pm and just finished at 1231pm. Catching up on posts in between watching Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, copying my CD's to the computer, letting the dog out..., etc...
The electricians are done, they installed 2 ceiling fans, 2 outdoor plugs, a ceiling light and a few more things. It was a gift from a family member that wants to remain anonymous within the family, of course my wife and I know who it is, but they don't want anyone else to know. It was an amazing and thoughtful gift.
I am off tomorrow, day 3 of five, just enjoying it now.

I hope you all had a good day.

Goodnight, everyone
What a wonderful, original gift. So generous of that person and so thoughtful.
 
Good morning, friends~
Happy Friday!
TGIF!!! ❤️

So grateful to have my Mom here, Harlowe is enjoying the time with her so much too-Grandma's are the best!
They hit up some garage sales yesterday, and I came home to find a vintage Santa blow mold & vintage jack-o-lantern blow mold, & a vintage plastic popcorn Jack-o-lantern that I've wanted for awhile. We had one just like it growing up =]
It's been nice knowing she's at home caring for Har, and that I have someone to chat with at night.

Our house is coming along, in a last minute dash to the finish line.
But as always, there are issues and we may or may not close in time. Looking at our options right now. It's been a stressful few days-hoping for the best!!

Wishing you all a blessed and beautiful day~

I'm catching up on the posts and it made me smile to know that your mom is home with you and that Harlowe is enjoying her time with her grandmother. Glad to know that things worked out for your new home and that closing date. Have a nice night.
 
Good Friday Morning MMC! Another weekend is approaching. Are you ready for it? I'm sure you are as am I. I am off on Monday so I'm looking forward to one of my classic 3 day weekends. It's beautiful out here and I slept with the windows open again. Not as chilly as yesterday just comfortably cool. Feels like September. Anyway, I'm gonna get myself moving and will check with you guys later.
Have a great TGIF!
Enjoy a great 3-day weekend! Nothing beats good weather and being able to sleep with the windows open.

Looks like the rain is clearing already! Thanks! :)

Tonight we really have no plans, except to try out our new machine! :p Tomorrow morning Jim is working & I'm bringing some goodies to a bake sale for an Animal Adoption Day sponsored by our counties animal protection league. Tomorrow afternoon we'll be going to my brother/sil's for my nephew & future nieces "I Do BBQ" (it's a couples shower instead of a traditional ladies bridal shower) - we'll go back to the lake after that. (speaking of, I told my SIL I would bring a snack. I better be thinking about what I'm going to make. LOL) Sunday we have no plans. I'll be staying with Mom Sunday night, so maybe we'll have her at the lake for a cook out, or take her out to eat.

What are your weekend plans?

Mom is doing pretty good. She's on a new medicine, which we think she is having some side effects from so I'm not sure how long she will be staying on it. It's supposed to help her with her energy level but I'm not so sold on the idea of it w/ all the possible side effects! She doesn't do well on medicine (she's on enough already!) and she's 87 - she's allowed to slow down. But overall for an 87 year old, she's doing great! She didn't go to the Y this morning b/c of the suspected side effects of this new drug...unless she just caught a bug. She is at my sisters house today. Thanks for asking! :)
How wonderful of you to bring goodies to that bake sale for such a worthy cause. I'm curious, what did you bake?
 
Good morning ~
Just wanted to pop in quick to say hello. I'm heading out soon to do some more shopping.
Today is one year since Molly passed. I miss her so much, my heart hurts. She was the sweetest dog <3
I hope everyone is well and has a nice day.

Oh HMG, your little Molly was such a cutie. I am sending you warm thoughts and hugs on this difficult anniversary. And hugs to little Maggie as well. Hope you will enjoy a nice evening.
