    Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

    DH and I discussed how we avoided eating turkey this year. We had ham for lunch, and MIL made a stuffed pork loin for dinner. Our kind of Thanksgiving. I got about 90% of my shopping done online yesterday. The UPS guy is gonna hate me this week!:laugh: Today's project is adding peg board...

    Sheesh, the wind here is crazy. On a positive note the clothes I hung out to dry shouldn't take too long, lol.. We had to resechedule senior pics yesterday. 25mph wind and long hair don't mix well. Anxious to start my Christmas shopping next weekend. Kids have let me know what they want...

    Nope. DH has to do that, and he won't try. It is 13 years old

    Rubber bands to the rescue. Worked over the bent part with jewelry pliers and it's workable now. Still ordering a new one. And no, I've never made jewelry, I use them to squeeze coils together!

    Bronze, I hate the early darkness too. I've been to the gym twice this week to run, and I don't love the gym. @retic1959 I hope you heal fast. Keep us posted. So, cleaning my V5 tank last night I dropped the base and bent it.. Can barely get it to open and close.. Actually I just refilled...

    It was soooo bad. I haven't done it in a very long time. Surprised I'm not sore this morning. Hopefully I can finish up next weekend, but there's rain in the forecast. @Bronze sure tractor wheels count.. but why are you power washing tractor wheels?

    Finished the garage cabinet top yesterday and power washed today until my arms and shoulders couldn't take any more. I'm not done, but it looks soooo much better. We have covered patios on the front and back, with vinyl siding on the ceiling of them. Did all that, the guttering and patios...

    It was nice here today, about 85 I think. We've been back and forth already from AC to heat and back to AC. I did a 10 mile ride on my bike after work. Tomorrow is elbows and :censored:holes busy. Holy WASPS! We have a bazillion red wasps at every entrance to the house. Everyone locally is...

    @Bronze yes they notice if I'm not there! I was there, but missed Kaden's blocked punt at one game.. He said Mom, did you see my blocked punt? I totally faked it, said Yes, that was awesome!:blush: I did go for a run. It was cold heading north but not bad at all coming back. Sometimes...

    Good morning! Sat in the freezing cold last night through senior night, homecoming, and next to last football game. Under armour, hot hands and toasty toes, coat and blanket... 1 more game next Friday and I am officially done, unless I want to go. Pretty excited about that. Sleep.. I quit...

    So.. a friend gave me some cabinets a few months ago. We put them up in the garage today! It's so much nicer! Got rid of a bunch of junk too. DH kept saying my favorite words.. Throw it away, trash, junk.. Ohmigosh.. Such a good day..:thumbs: Bad news, my 13 year old power washer runs, but...

    You are the sweetest! Thank you. Finding my own happiness.. that part is pretty exciting really. I had a trust fund, my parents encouraged me to buy a car with it. So, that's what I did. It would have paid for college. My boys drive OLD vehicles, and I'll never encourage a new car purchase...

    That's awesome. I paid for my own college as well, but with loans that I took way too long to pay off afterwards. I want better for them. We will help them as much as we can, but we didn't save for their college, so they are going to have to pay up. It's good for them imo to work and pay for...

    Not exactly turned down on the FASFA.. There are loans (of course) that we qualify for, just no grants. Just trying to get them through college as cheaply as possible. I do not want them to be in debt when they start their careers. We've got Kal's first year covered with scholarships...

    Found out yesterday that Kade can't commute to the college he wants to go to next year. We live about 7 miles further than they allow for commuters. He wants to go to an IT school for high voltage electrical. Looks like I'm going to be kidless during the week come August. Also, DH is...

    Well, at least it's all online now, and you can link your info from the IRS. My dinosaur computer with Windows XP won't load their page tho, so I had to do it all from the iPad. Dinner was pretty good!

    mmmmm.. cake. those designer cakes never taste very good tho imo... I was off today for fall break. So weird to be home on a Wednesday. Got a lot done, still more on the list for tomorrow. Did both the boys' FASFAs which are a complete waste of time for us, but they have to be done to apply...

    I've been trying to get up and exercise in the mornings before work. It's not working out so well.:lol: I need my coffee/vape/chill time first, then I get ready for the day. Squeezing in even 20-30 minutes is killing me. Not sure if I'm going to keep trying or just go back to my normal...
