Via Dancing with Frogs who borrowed this meme from secret suburban – here is the current state of SnoskredLand.
Admiring: My $5 Kmart snowglobe pictured above.
Drinking: Almond and Soy milk – I swapped out dairy milk for a while. I love almond milk in my lunchtime protein shakes and I love soy milk for my coffee.
Cooking: Cottage Pie on a 36 degrees Celsius day. But it is The Other Half’s favourite.
Waiting: for Aldi to open on Wednesday because guess what goes on sale? The food covers I have been waiting for. I’m not fussy, I will take one of each colour more than likely, I will buy the teal ones for Mother if they are there.
Wanting: My streak of clumsy to end. On what we are now calling my Weekend Of Fail, I fell over the chook fence. About half an hour later I dropped an ice cube sphere shattering it into pieces that flew across the room – I am still finding pieces of it days later. I was advised to sit down and do nothing for the rest of the day and I actually felt like that was wise advice. The following day, I opened the car door into the back of my leg somehow. It is a mystery to me how I managed that.
Playing: with my new Samsung s7 phone.
Wishing: I had not somehow managed to dent my new Samsung s7 phone before I bought a case for it.
Questioning: How I managed to dent my new phone. I know I didn’t drop it, I know it didn’t hit anything. I am wondering if perhaps I just looked at it wrong. It was on the Saturday of my Weekend Of Fail.
Reading: I recently finished Helter Skelter – I started reading it the week before Charles Manson died. I had been hearing Charles Manson references for 42 years and having no idea about what happened I felt it was time to know more about it. The book was excellent but because it was a book for my tablet there were no photos and I have a feeling there might have been some images in the published book I would not have liked to see.
Deciding: To go back to some old faithful books which do not keep me up at night. Currently it is The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, before that it was Persuasion.
Hoping: for a warm Christmas but not too warm! 25-30C (77-86F) will do nicely.
Marvelling: At the talent and skill of The Other Half.
Enjoying: my freshly painted nails. It was not what I had in mind colour wise but it is super sparkly and I love how it turned out. This is the shortest they have been for a while. I felt like a break from length. :) As always the photos do not do them justice.
Buying: all the things, way too many things.
Thinking: About trying a year of buying nothing other than groceries in 2018
Making: The Other Half crazy by asking our new Google Home Mini all kinds of questions.
Hearing: Google Home Mini tell me it can’t help me with my somewhat bizarre questions.
Wondering: about this La Brique cheese I bought at Aldi for Christmas Day because I liked the shape of it and I liked the name of it. Yes, I did ask Google Home Mini to tell me more about La Brique, and it could not help me. So I had to resort to actual googling and am really still none the wiser.
Wanting: To eat some cheese. I took 6 months off from eating uncooked cheeses of any kind because it appeared to be the cause of the majority of my sinus issues – sinus headaches, congestion and sinus pain. Weirdly if I eat cooked cheese I do not get the same reaction.
Cringing: at all the Christmas marketing in my inbox, and on social media. I’m over hearing about it! This is why people grow to hate Christmas, because they are just force fed it 24/7 for 4 weeks ahead of it. It is just one day of the year, no need to make such a fuss.
Watching: the chickens and kitties while I relax in the delicate nirvana.
Needing: to stay at home for a bit. The usual holiday traffic has begun here.
Smelling: Tahitian Lime from my Costco reed diffusers.
Sorting: through the art room which is going to become a computer room so the computer room can become an exercise room.
Giggling: every time I see one of these “Cactus”. What a name for a car! If it breaks down, you could say “My cactus is cactus”.
Loving: having a new foxtel box because the previous one went “cactus”.
Disliking: some truly terrible television which I am addicted to. Yes, I’m looking at you and hating myself for doing that, 90 Day Fiancé and Real Housewives of Melbourne.
Some days just don’t go right. My partner’s phone is an S7. I have an S6 and will soon upgrade to a S8. Your phone wasn’t damaged when you bought it? I am quarter way through The Light between the Oceans, and enjoying it, thanks.
Just bought a google home mini in the third shop I looked because they are selling out fast around here! The 12yo is as excited as a 12yo can be and I’ve told her it is her job to find out as many useful ways to use it as possible and then she can show me.
Hope the weekend of fail is well and truly gone.
Impressed: By the time you spent considering and composing this blog post.
Gorgeous nails! My favorite color, too. :)
I like the buying nothing but groceries idea for 2018. Thank you for visiting me. Great idea about the counsel recycling tour.
