Bonfire Saturday

FNW · Guru

Dreary day here. I just can't get motivated to do anything...

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

We had some rain during the night. Cloudy and cool right now.

A bonfire sounds like fun, IKWTDS!

College football for me today! wink

And maybe a couple of dog walks.

Have a great Saturday, Good Geeks! smile

It's autumn again here. Most of the week has been in the mid to upper 70s. Today temps dropped to the mid 60s and will continue to drop to what it should be in November.

Today is catch up on school work day. I have been very lax this semester about getting it done. I just want to be done with this stage already.

And I really need to get on my SS shopping. I've got some ideas but really need to get started on doing.

Because my neighbors are having one tonight!

Morning sleepy heads.

I wanna come! Is it rude to invite myself??

I really need to go into work, but I really don't want to. Maybe I'll put it off until tomorrow...... Might run over to the city with my parents. I want to go to Hobby Lobby, I have a new craft attempt in mind, I need supplies.

Not at all. Just bring your own marshmellow roasting stick!

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Slept in today and now I feel great. I have to do a lot of work around the house and get the laundry under control.

And DH invited his whole team over tomorrow for dinner so I need to clean and shop for that.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Morning!

Bon fires are the best. Have fun!

Hobby Lobby is crack for me. Love it.

A few errands today. Trash to the dump, pick up meds, and hair cuts for all.

Need to grab some milk and bread too.

Hope I get it done before it starts raining again.

So typing with one hand. While stacking wood a heavy log fell on my left thumb, rendering it useless. hurts like a mo fo. bag of frozen corn on it to dull the pain. I can move the thumb so at least it isn't broken. I stripped the beds today so DD is going to have to help re make them.

Ouch! You have my sympathy. This could be a good reason to call the rest of the day a wash and enjoy a Netflix marathon.

Every bottle starts with a glass. biggrin Suddenly my thumb and palm don't hurt as much, pain is still, I am just beginning not to care. smile

Wish I had the motivation to take pics of items DD wants to get rid of, but that will have to wait.

I want to go shopping. Not sure DH is up for it.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Got my chores done.

Hair is cut.

Caitlyn and I are getting pedicures and then we are going Christmas shopping.

I could be finished with all my shopping tonight.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

My bed is made. DD wants to know why I insisted on hospital corners, actually her comment was "Oh, you are one of those!' My bed will be comfy tonight. Even made her old the top of the sheet down over the blanket!

Oh gosh! You're lucky it didn't break it.

We were out getting once, mom dropped a big log and caught her left hand between the log and the stump.

Mashed her rings flat. Dad had to cut them off before we could take her to the ER.

She almost lost her fingers on that one.

And then there was the time dad almost cut his toe off when the chain saw kicked back.

We piled into the truck, headed to the ER.

The sewed his toe back on and we went back to get the wood.

His reasoning was, his foot was numb then, but it wouldn't be the next day.

So there we were, in the dark, loading wood by the bed light.

It's good for her. You are teaching her life skills. They learn a lot more when mom is out of commission.

Umm if I cut my toe off, I would be converting my fireplace to gas burning!

She has been exceptionally good, holding doors and such for me today, even, gasp! cleaned her room! I need to have injuries more often.

I can't use a corkscrew so neighbors are coming over later to help me. LOL!

Oh it wasn't completely cut off.

And that's just how my dad is.

He is Superman.

So I had to wait for an ortho rep to bring a tray for a morning surgery. He's pretty cute in scrubs but damn he is hot in shorts and a t-shirt! Wish I was 25!

FNW · Guru

I need lessons, IKWTDS! Can you post a "how to" video?

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I used to know how to do them decades ago.

I was cutting firewood a few weeks ago and dropped a big log on my toe. Luckily, I was wearing my steel-toed boots. Or I would have broken something for sure

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

The guy that has been cutting down the trees across the street finally managed to injure himself with his chainsaw. I wasn't home to help but my neighbor who is a paramedic called his brother to help the guy until they could get there.

It's like wrapping a box.

Lay the sheet on the mattress, fold the over and under the foot.

On the side, about a foot from the bottom, raise the side of the sheet over the mattress, tuck the what is hanging under the foot. Lower the sheet back down.

Repeat on other side.

FNW · Guru

You lost me at fold the over and under the foot.

Sure I could! But it's more fun with him! We went shopping for my SS today. He bought bullets. I bought him some lemon curd. We had fun.

Ok. You know how you wrap a box?

Same idea.

How about "tuck"? Tuck the sheet under the mattress at the foot of the bed. Then, take the sheet that hangs down the side at the corner and pull it straight down, then lift the corner of the mattress and tuck that under, too.

I didn't either. I just lift the corner of the mattress and shove the sheet under there. I also cannot fold a fitted sheet, that just gets kinda balled up (although I only have one set of sheets right now, so no real folding going on).

Shove??? One does not "shove" the sheet under. Gets all bulky that way. You smooth every thing and gently and pristenly tuck it under. Geesh.

This girl shoves. You also have to remember that my feet come nowhere near the foot of the bed, so any bulkiness is totally unnoticed by me wink

But, but that doesn't matter, You must tuck properly! It is law!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I tuck it right and then loosen it up.

I generally keep my feet uncovered anyway.
