Heyyyy there, everyone. It's been a few days since I've posted, but I've been around to others' posts and through my notifications within the last few days. I had a weekend to-do list of online and offline tasks, and I'm happy to say I pretty much got through all of it. :) My best friend texted me on Saturday to see if I wanted to run to Big Lots and The Family Dollar with her, so I did. I didn't get anything, but I did browse for a bit to get more Christmas ideas. There wasn't anything I NEEDED to pick up at the time, so I decided to save my money. We stopped by Herman's Bakery and she bought me a raspberry turnover. I could afford it myself, but it was easier since she wasn't paying with her card. Anyways, I haven't had one of those in years. I need to get more turnovers for the house, maybe a few of each so everyone can pick one they like. :) When she dropped me off, I unintentionally fell asleep. A nap wasn't actually in my agenda, so I wasn't thrilled about that when I woke up. But once I was up, I ate something and got to my to-do list. My Mom and I swept the dining room (which isn't huge), and I swept the living room because it was bigger. Then I mopped the dining room and living room. Once I was finished, I re-organized the DVDs and games on the lower shelf of the entertainment center and looked for my Muppet Christmas Carol DVD. I finally found it on another shelf near a few horror movies, which would explain why I couldn't find it the first time lol. I also thought the case was darker, but it's white, so I was looking for the wrong thing. But it's found now so goodie. :) Afterwards, I got online to post three orders to a blog for a client. Now that I have a system, it takes less time to do it. I ate dinner (steak and potatoes, Mom's belated birthday dinner), and decided to just work on MyLot and survey websites because I was too tired to work on any writing orders. I eventually moved to my tablet so I could lay in bed though (I don't use my laptop in bed, it's not very comfortable, plus I don't wanna work where I sleep). And that was just on Saturday. My niece's 9th birthday was on Sunday, but she got her present from me on Friday, which was the Minecraft body pillow. She told me it's super comfy. :D She went out with her older sister and parents to some slime-making event at the craft store, perfect for her birthday lol! She also got cake and presents. She's skipping a party this year, would rather go to Build-A-Bear and see Santa with her cousins in a week or so. While they were gone, I put on some Christmas music and worked on a writing order and survey websites. I eventually switched over the music but continued to work. I had a headache though, pretty sure it was from my posture, so proofreading with that was fun. It eventually went away though. I submitted that order, sent the custom orders to my Fiverr clients and worked on another order from Textbroker. Once I submitted that one, I grabbed another to work on today and went to bed. And here I am, posting this, listening to music and getting ready to work on this order. I want to make it a productive Monday. :) Anyways, I'm out. I hope you're all doing well. Take care. :) Photo Credit: Pixabay.

Ugh, I hate when I'm looking for something and then find out it was different than i remembered. But glad you found the movie. That was nice of her to buy you the treat. I hope you can get some for the family soon. Going to build a bear sounds like a blast to me.

Yep. I think I had another case in mind because I used to watch my younger sister's copy before buying my own. Thanks. I wanna get something for everyone to have for breakfast on Thanksgiving, so hopefully I can get out and do so. They're also going to see Santa, and have a sleepover. She'd rather do all of that than a party, and I kind of don't blame her lol.

@Courtlynn I'm thinking it was a mixture of that, and the DVD being moved to another spot (which possibly happened when I was going through the horror movies DVDs last month). I didn't find anything that we'd all want, and couldn't make anything because I was trying to keep a cold at bay (and not spread it around), but nobody seemed to care lol. I'll try again for Christmas Eve. Cinnamon rolls are yummy. :) I don't mind parties, but I'm not the biggest fan of staying away from home (trips are different because I like hotels, but after a few days I'm ready to go home). I like to have my nights to myself.

@tammys85 maybe that was it. that would be a good breakfast. We always make cinnamon rolls, or should I say I.. now that I'm older and the one who does most of the cooking/baking. I don't blame her either. I was never the party type.

Sounds like a nice busy weekend for you. I was busy with birthday parties all weekend. My nieces 7th birthday party saturday was an hour away did not get home til 5pm from that. I napped and watched tv the rest of the night. Sunday I relaxed at home then had my nephews 11th birthday party at 3pm then had to leave there at 530 and go bowling at 6. Had bowling then back home afterwards. I did not have time for my online sites this weekend. I am making up for it today though.

Oh wow, I hope you enjoyed the birthday parties! :) I was hoping to go out this weekend, but I don't know that I am unless my best friend texts me. I'll do a few things online, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna actually work yet. It depends on what's available and how I'm feeling. I hope you're doing well!

You must have needed the sleep. I'm glad your niece loves the Minecraft pillow. You got a lot of writing orders completed.

I definitely needed the sleep. I still do, so I'm going to bed shortly. I did, and now I have three weekly clients on Fiverr!
