 Hey guys, it is Thursday December 7th Pearl Harbor Day so I posted a Memorial Thing on my Facebook page With an art link to an article about Pearl Harbor For those of you who don't know Today's Pearl Harbor Day All right. Anyways, I am obviously my hair is wet. I've already got my all my daily writing commitments done I got my exercise in for the day and I was chatting with the city a little bit doing some business planning and brainstorming and I'm gonna head out now and I'm gonna run back over to Maido the Japanese stationery store over on San Hanoi Road. I Wasn't gonna do this today, but I just You know, I just feel like doing it. So we're going to it is 11 almost 1130 Which means by the time I get there It's gonna be full on lunchtime. So parking is gonna be fun, but that's okay. I can deal with it And I've got a $5 credit and I think there's other Like credit in their computer system over the store But because I'm doing all this purging and cleaning we're gonna be very careful about what we pick up That we really can't use it And it's something that we need So that's it for right now, I'm gonna see to if I can get some filming done for you guys on YouTube So that you have something to watch besides blogs Because I know you can see our videos for me. I haven't actually filmed one in like a month I was just scheduled out I need to get on the ball there. All right, that's it for right now. I'll be back So that's Daiso for those that don't know so that so for those that don't know Daiso our Japanese stores one is a Japanese stationary store and One is a Japanese dollar store Over here in the US it translates to a dollar fifty And up so not everything in the store is like a dollar fifty. It's dollar fifty and up So some things will be three dollars as much as I think same things as much as seven dollars So you have to look at what you're buying if it doesn't have a price tag on it It's probably a dollar fifty if it's not a dollar fifty. It usually has a price tag, but it's always good to ask so now it's one o'clock and Everybody's out for lunch or they're finishing up lunch and Going back to work So I think it's time for us to go Have to stop at the postal place and get the mail a mail out a couple more packages It's been a heavy mail with me sending a lot of things this week so Which is good and bad, but yeah, so anyway, I'm gonna go do that on my home and then I can go home and stay there We have our first Christmas Event to go to so I have to figure out what kind of food we're gonna bring But that's tomorrow and that's another day I'll be back. Hey guys. It is Friday December 8th, and I'm pretty sure the date's correct Yesterday was Pearl Harbor Day, so that means today's the eighth This little like multicolored sparkly blob Is an experiment, so I put this is There's dirty thing in the background is a non-stick craft sheet and It's had alcohol ink and stuff spilled on it. Anyway, I also It's got a couple holes and things in it. It's got some resin on it. So it's Seen better days and I decided today to take the opportunity of the fact that this craft sheet is pretty nerfed up To use a Shannon green word To actually pour out some nail polish on it in my collection of polishes here in the craft room Because I don't really use nail polish To make see if I could make sort of a nail polish skin, which I think would be interesting to add to journal pages and Stuff. Yes, it stinks, but Look at those colors So I just dropped it on there and swirled it around with this toothpick So we're gonna let that dry and I'll be back To show you what happens, you know, probably tomorrow We'll let it get good and dry and I may put a coat of Some kind of like a varnish or something clear over the top of it just to give the polish some extra Thickness and strength for when I pull it up. So we'll see what happens I am busy working on the Etsy shop today And I've got this stack of paintings of which none of them are listed in the Etsy shop So I'm gonna be taking photographs and changing that today There's a bunch of stuff these big ones and then I have a few little ones So I'll be working on that today and getting them listed If you're interested in some original art and you want it for a good price Go check out my Etsy store the links in the description All right, that's it for the moment guys I'm here at the gas station with my husband filling up the car before we go get a couple groceries We're supposed to go to a potluck tonight And movie night with the Masonic Lodge. They're showing it's a wonderful life, which fabulous old movie But for all you guys out there organizing potlucks I have a distinct bone to pick Like at least give your guests some kind of guidance tell them bring a main dish bring a salad bring a dessert Bring a side dish whatever But to just say bring something So I think we're gonna make some lasagna and Make something that's sort of a complete meal in of itself so that I know people at least have something Healthy is she And it's not all cake and pie Yeah, so anyway All right, we're gonna fill up with gas first See Say hi wave hi Such a goofball, but I love him. I think I'll keep him. Happy sitting again. Hey, Lily What's out there out the window? It's your favorite thing to do look out the window So it has been a crazy crazy crazy day We didn't I didn't get everything I wanted to get done accomplished, but I did get Some stuff down I got a lot done You had a little incident with the outdoor decorations, but it's all done Thank goodness And of course all the bulbs were working before we hung them up and now I see three of them that are out But for now I think so it has been a long day. It is Sunday evening and I'm gonna go inside and just sit down now I'm gonna big pile of perch stuff, but most of the Christmas decorations are wrapped and Yeah, I think we're ready just about all right. That's it for now. I'll be back So we're it is Sunday Monday December 11th We're out running some errands Christmas errands And we just saw a sign while my husband saw a sign because I'm driving for Korean fried chicken And we're kind of trying to figure out what that means exactly So if it was Indian fried chicken in it we decided it would have lots of curry, right? So it was Kentucky fried chicken. I would have a lot of Landmelt them southern secret spices have a little bit of spices, right? But what is Korean fried chicken? I don't understand. I'd love to try it when it opens Yeah, it's gonna be a new restaurant, evidently. So we might have to try it because we like food adventures As you probably know if you've been watching 1,000 feet turn right Turn right on to Good thing it's not Tony from New York No, you don't make a right turn, would you know it's cheese No, if it was Tony from New York, you might use foul language while I'm driving the wrong way No, Mickey you turn at it In 3.1 miles All right, so that's it for right now we're gonna go run some errands and see what other trouble we get into We'll be back.

I'll be right back Okay, got it Whoo. Yeah, we can go so filling Etsy orders taking inventory and then My husband helped me do something I've been putting off for like a million years Cleaning out a few cabinets in the kitchen Including cabinets of dry goods and all I will say I won't go into specifics but I haven't done significant amount of cooking or baking in At least four years maybe longer since I got herded American greetings the first time Which is almost five years ago and I haven't bought a lot of dry goods since then and Well We didn't have you know giant hordes of thugs and stuff in there. I will say gross And we threw out a lot of stuff We also cleaned out some cookware and baking things that we don't need It's just the two of us. So how much stuff do we really need? So I got rid of a bunch of stuff and so now I am headed off to Goodwill again To make another donation another because my back of my car is full again I'm gonna go get the mail And then go home and I've got a stack of things that need washing You know things they sit too long in the cabinet and they just They're not dirty, but they're dusty and so I Need to just rinse them all off All right, that's it for right now.
