I hope you all had a great first day of February! I wasn't online all day long so wanted to hop on let you all know I'll be here more tomorrow. I did clear out some notifications and will be doing some reading tomorrow to catch up on your posts. Then I will be tackling more notifications. I had the afternoon free today thanks to my hubby! I did a little bit of retail therapy, made a quick stop at flea market and then went grocery shopping before coming home. I picked up some craft items to make wreaths with. I will probably do a Spring one, Easter or generic one. Not sure, but I have a variety of things here so have enough stuff to start one or more! I was right in thinking that someone was helping me keep my booth straightened up. Today Gerri was working and she came to help me relocate or put back the items left in my booth that belong in another booth. We usually put them all in a bin and a worker will sort them out. New rules for this year state that you work a half day and that is what you work on along with helping at front desk. You can also work in your booth. Anyway, she confessed that she had been helping me and I told her I suspected that she was the guilty party and thanked her for her generosity. Going to get my book out and read myself to sleep. Over and out! Photo Credit: Pixabay, public domain

Enjoy reading. I love to read before bedtime. I decided to be more here on weekends but then I couldn't. I felt like I could do more important works offline and be here only to relax and chat in between.

I agree that you need to find the schedule that is right for you. It is relaxing to be in this community. We have a lot of nice and caring people here.

Sometimes a fun day can be had by just exploring on the internet. What did we do before without it??

@rebelann I know I was big into music and drove my mom crazy playing rock and roll. LOL.

Hmmmm, lemme think ................ @kareng Ahh yes, I worked and on weekends spent my time with my kritters and when I finally rented a place with a yard I gardened. I was also a couch potato back then if I had enough free time between laundromats and shopping for food etc. In my case I worked nights so by the time I'd get home the stations were signing off, I missed so much of Johnny Carson back then

I think that it's a good idea to start to make a wreath for Easter, I should look what I already have at home and go for it. That was nice to help you, she deserves to be thanked. Enjoy your book.

Yes, Easter, Spring themes or even 4th of July are good themes to go with right now and have time for selling. I agree. I picked up a box of Valentine's Day candy for her and the owner's granddaughter who work on the weekends.

@LadyDuck Interesting! I think we go overboard on a lot of things here in the U.S.

@kareng No 4th of July here, at most something for our National day that is the 1st of August. Valentine's Day is only for "couples" here in Europe, I plan a nice dinner and a decorated table.

That's pretty cool that you're going to make some wreaths. I'm sure they'll turn out very nice! Today is another Disney day for us, it will make it the third visit of the year so far. I've always heard that the absolute slowest day of the year at Disney World is Super Bowl Sunday, so we're going to find out if it's true or not! We'll probably head to Magic Kingdom today, since we went to Epcot last weekend.

It's been a long time since I've made one so we will see how it turns out. I had made a nice Fall/Halloween one a few years ago. I need to get in the closet under the stairs and see if I can find it. I had a way to easily transform it to Fall/Halloween and back to Fall. I know you will have a great day at Disney. I bet it is less crowded today! How long of a drive is it for you from your home?

@kareng It takes us an hour and a half to get to Disney from my home. Not a bad little drive at all.

@Deepizzaguy Yeah that too. It makes you wonder if they were paid off.

Thanks and you too! I'm going to spend some time outdoors today and enjoy this sunshine!! I don't watch NFL anymore. Too much BS going on with players protesting, and other stuff. They need to focus on football for which they are being paid well to do.

So far we are surviving here too. I'm ready for this rain to find another home. It looks like the next two weeks will bring us more rainy days than sunny days.

Yes, always nice to have an angel looking out for you. I picked up several boxes of Valentine's Day candy for the ladies who work on the weekends there.

'retail therapy, made a quick stop at flea market and then went grocery shopping before coming home' : This kind of therapy is money encouraging-very concerning but fun though
