I wish I was at the beach

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 19 Aug 20

Gotta hate when you wake up and realize that the beach vacation you dreamed about didn't actually happen. Though I suppose it's a good thing that I split - non - split (weird, but I'll explain in a moment) with this really nice...

Elizabeth I like that the dream you knew that friend's cousin's husband was going to wake up in exactly twenty minutes!

I'm not done..

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 19 Aug 20

I thought I would be this time, but apparently that just isn't the case. I found more books that I'd like to get rid of. Pictured (if it loads) is my bookcase as of now. The second shelf on the right hand side holds the books that...

Elizabeth I find books so difficult to part with. I may be persuaded that digital is best, but only because I've only just discovered that I can get a couple of free books through Amazon Prime each month. My savvy mother had to tell me that!

Can you tell yourself not to worry?

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 27 Jun 20

Can you? And if so, does it work? I need to know your secret if it does work. I have always been the type of person to have anxiety over things until they are done. Even going to a normal job gave me anxiety, because I didn't...

Elizabeth Nope, I can't. I live with that big ball of worrisome anxiety in my chest constantly. I suffer anxiety even when doing mundane things, like commenting on myLot posts {what if they read it wrong, what if they hate what I say, what if it comes across wrong, what...

Talk about God

Darcy Nemo @YrNemo (20254) 23 Jun 20

I like this saying, 'God helps those who help themselves'. It has been a month since our place was damaged by a breaking-in attempt. We have since been busy with the repair of this or that, plus trying to secure the property...

Elizabeth Is she one of those people who can't understand why churches aren't allowed to be open in a pandemic because God wouldn't let anything bad happen to a congregation in a place of worship?! No, I wouldn't move. If you're happy in a place then you're happy and...

To Do - Done Over

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 23 Jun 20

I won't go into detail because people here read maybe one paragraph at the most before they zone out and give random responses that have little, if nothing, to do with what is written. It's the truth! Anyway, No go for the...

In the closet

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 22 Jun 20

You might look at this picture and think "Oh well that's not so bad" I would agree with you, but half of the things in the closet do not need to be there. I got rid of one box, and it was a big box, but most of the stuff in the...

Lost a Good One Today

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (127336) • Gainesville, Florida 22 Jun 20

The world lost a good one today. There are few people you come across in life who discover their passion at an early age and not only enjoy it, but embrace it, pursue it, strive to become the best at it, then conquer those dreams...

Let's talk about cousin's

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 11 Jun 20

I was chatting with someone here today about how our cousin's are related to us. Specifically, how the children of our cousin's are related to us. I mistakenly said that our first cousin's (the children of our aunt/uncle)...

Sunday Brunch and Too Much Sunshine

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (127336) • Gainesville, Florida 14 Jun 20

paigea @paigea (36144) • Canada 3 Jun 20
