Lordy! you would think I was busy or something. Somehow I am always doing something and this poor blog gets neglected. And I love writing here. The problem is I don't go anywhere and nothing comes here (except Amazon and they drop the packages on the doorstep and run...they don't even knock anymore) so there isn't anything interesting to write about.
And I need to talk about a problem I have. Amazon. I buy way too much. Mind you I am still getting rid of more stuff than I get but you know think how far ahead I would be if I didn't buy stuff.
I have never ever been a shopper. I don't like going into stores and browsing around at clothes, kitchen stuff, housewares, food, or anything for that matter. If I could have one person at my disposal in this life it would be a personal shopper. And thats exactly what Amazon, Walmart, Old Navy and Zulily have become. I love online shopping...I feel like a hoarder. You know the ones that have all that crap in their house and piles of packages that haven't even been opened.
So, for my education and come uppance, I am going to list some of the last things I have bought, if I can remember them.
Two stained glass lamps, two little lamps from Marketplace, my enamel pot, two dutch ovens, four ring moulds, double knife sharpener, heavy weight to squish tofu or sammiches, stuff for Ainsley and Stirling, paper towel holder, two utensil holders, crispy chilli oil, hoisin, Tamari, palm dates, two patio tables, slate charcuterie board, notebooks, pens and pencils, scissors, puzzle, paint by number (didn't come...stupid stuff from china), new shirts to replace old shirts, shorts, stuff from Vita Bath, and tons and tons of toilet paper, arm chair, bread box, compost tin, big basket, stone candle, two giant boxes of Starbucks Verona pods from Costco, giant standing mirror (my house didn't have a long mirror). And that is not the half of it. And I can justify every single purchase! tee tee!!!!!
So...the challenges. I did yell off my back deck that I am happy and someone from over in the parking lot yelled back!!! Hahahahaha!! He yelled that he was too!! This made me very happy. But I still threw out at least five things!
And I sang along with Hey Google every day. First I picked a song, googled the lyrics and sang the song with the band. It was so much fun I might continue to do it. Never hurts to get the endorphins going once a day! I purposely picked that Boston song that goes super high. I almost busted my wind pipes on that one! Did anyone do this?
I don't know what 19 and 20 are. Hang on I shall go look. Okay, I looked and its going to be another disposal week. Not doing either of the challenges this week. Sorry.
19. No social media for a week. That is NOT happening in my house. No way. News, entertainment, blog.....nope! Not doing it. If I canned the social media I would be sitting here staring out the window either listening to hey google or the tv. How is that better? I need to feed my brain. Although I am reading a biography of Hemmingway right now..fascinating! The snoop in me loves biographies.
20. Drink a gallon (3.8 litres) of water every day for a month. And there is no way in hell am I doing that. You guys can and I am pretty sure some of you already do. But I am NOT a water drinker, never have been. I do manage to get down probably 2 litres of liquid a day through one way or the other. But I would have to force drink to get down a gallon and when I force drink I get super nauseated. Like I said not so long ago, walking and water are my two number one nemesis's.
So there we go folks til Friday or Saturday. I now need to go open the box thats sitting at the top of my stairs. I think I know what it is but I am not sure. Lol!!! Stay safe, noodle and hug an old person as soon as you all are vaccinated. TTYL
Here are a few of my purchases:
I AM SORRY IF I AM REPEATING. MY ROCK CANDLE FROM MARKETPLACE 
ANOTHER REPEAT I THINK 
NOT THE GUITAR...THE GUITAR STAND 
THE MOULDS, KNIFE SHARPENER AND WEIGHT 
I LOVE MY BREADBOX, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE A TOOL BOX. LOL!! 
A FUZZY COMPOSTER, WHY FUZZY? STUPID PHONE CAMERA 
THAT ONE THAT LOOKS EMPTY ISN'T, ITS GOT THE COFFEE PODS IN IT.
You are SO funny. Even when you have nothing to say, you say something hilarious. I find you endlessly entertaining, even when recounting the most mundane narratives. I am not a shopper either, and my Amazon spends have grown as well. Motorcycle stuff, home entertainment stuff, even necessities like cat food and sundries. Its just so damn easy right??? I get my first vaccine shot on the 6th. If I grow purple horns I will join a sideshow (do they still have those? ) .
