Still busy, but things should slow down after Christmas.

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38081) • Midland, Michigan 10h

I'm still pretty busy right now. We're not doing many window jobs what with the colder temps but I'm still working my cashiering job. I decided to make my retirement date two days after Christmas on the 27th. I wanted to go...

Purple Christmas Lights

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (69692) • Daytona Beach, Florida 6 Dec

That's the best pic I could possibly take. The front room only has light coming in from the kitchen and the window in the front door. So during the afternoon, it is lighter than in the morning. I took out my little Christmas tree...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (318375) • Rockingham, Australia 23h

Here are two more of my Christmas tree ornaments. They were both sent to us by our son in Ireland. I love the one on the left with the two little koalas. The other is one of a pair of baubles. This is the prettiest of the two. The...

Reflecting on our day

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (155207) • United States 23h

I am sitting in my cozy, heated throw. I appreciate many things. It was a little cooler today but not bad. We just use the throws to not have to run up the heating bill so much, but be totally comfortable. Speaking of throws...

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (86980) • Marion, Ohio 8h

It's been an aggravating morning start. I knew last night my lights didn't come on out back. When I fed the barn cats this morning I seen why. My cord had shorted out and melted bad. Why the breaker didn't trip I don't know. But...

RasmaSandra I had a heck of a morning myself. I think the last screw Tish had fell out. She was practically binging off the walls and could not settle down. For a moment she ran into the closet and then there was about half an hour of peace. Then she was jumping on the...

I Survived the Christmas Party

LouAvul @LouAvul (37) 11h

I drove successfully in the dark during a downpour and got there and got soaked walking to her house from the car even though I was wearing a raincoat. There were 10 of us total. The young women dominated the conversation....

Staying Warm in the Winter Months

deleriousinIdaho51 @celticeagle (151747) • Boise, Idaho 21h

It's funny how we hate to see that power bill, especially in the winter months. Ouch! Zing! Etc. I'm glad I started using Budget Pay several years ago. Each month it is the same amount. It helps me budget and know what to expect...

How do you typically dispose of food scraps?

Shavkat @Shavkat (134645) • Philippines 20h

Recently, I have started to reduce food waste at home. The food scraps are being planted, like the bases of cabbages, carrots, eggplants, etc. This morning, I was so glad to see my tomatoes growing fast. In time, I can harvest...

RasmaSandra Lovely red flowers. I am constantly making up some kind of stories and sometimes venturing back into my history where I should no longer venture due to the memories and at times it happens when I not longer can sleep so then I get up super early and begin my...

Good morning.

April @thislittlepennyearns (57801) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 4h

Well, I guess it isn't exactly morning anymore. But anyway, good- whatever time of day it is. It's gray and drizzly and ick outside. So it matches my mood. I am going to go through my notifications and then see what I can...

Working on the week's breakfasts

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (113710) • United States 4h

I like meal prepping for the week because it is awful getting up at 5:30 am and trying to get out of the door on time while it is pitch black out. Right now I'm working on high protein egg muffins. The recipe is from Skinnytaste...

C @ShyBear88 (58852) • Sterling, Virginia 3h

My washing machine may be possessed!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (22689) 3h

It has completely freaked out. When I moved here 10 years ago, this was a brand-new home, and everything was brand new. This is a smaller townhouse home, all on one floor. We have maintenance here, even though since the older...

RasmaSandra You can never tell about washing machines but pretty much I have never heard of one being haunted. I do remember our washing machine acting up in Latvia and occasionally socks went missing. I told my husband that old joke about the washing machine having eaten...

Trump chickens out of testifying tomorrow in NY civil trial

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (113710) • United States 2h

This surprises me absolutely 0%. He loves to talk a big game and then dip when it is time to actually put up. He was expected to be the last defense witness to testify tomorrow following some financial guy that a Trump PAC paid...

Well, it's just one of my favorite Christmas ornaments. I don't think I put a date on it, but we've had it many years. My grannie named this one Jimmy Carter because it's peanut Santa. I sure do miss her. She's been gone 33 years...

The Horse @TheHorse (196268) • Walnut Creek, California 3h

The cases against Trump grow stronger, and yet he's still out there, spewing venom and walking free. It is a statistical possibility that he could be "President of the United States" again. I watched this video this morning, but...
