IT’S FRIDAY AND I HAVE A QUESTION

Good afternoon! It’s a beautiful sunny day here but it’s only in the 40s so I’m inside working on my to-do list. Unless it warms up my to-do list will be my weekend! I know that sounds boring but this shit isn’t gonna’ get done on its own!

Okay. So I have a question. Do any of you have one of those bottom kitchen cabinets? I think they’re called blind cabinets. They’re so deep and long that there’s no way you can reach all the stuff that ends up in the back end. I hope somebody knows what I’m talking about. It looks something like this…
Mine is this way but with a shelf in the middle.

My question is…
What do you put in this cabinet??
Mine has pots and pans, cake pans, lids, cookie sheets, muffin tins and I’m guessing anything else that never finds a place in the kitchen. I honestly don’t know because there’s stuff way in the back that I can’t reach. I’m pretty sure it’s all kitchen stuff though.

I’m thinking about a.) putting a flippin’ light in there somewhere! And b.) putting some boxes of non-kitchen stuff way in the back. Just using it for some extra storage space, ya’ ‘know? What do you guys think?
My sister’s blind cabinet had a lazy Susan in it and the cereal kept getting stuck or something would fall off the lazy Susan and then it wouldn’t turn. It was a pain so I know I don’t want one of those.
Over on Reddit, the most popular answer was to turn it into a cozy place for your cats but I don’t have any cats.
So. I’m open to suggestions.

That’s just one of my to-do list things. Today is cooking the pumpkins in the Instant Pot for some pumpkin bread, pumpkin butter, and pumpkin soup! And, I might even get the duster out to get to these ceiling fans. Who knows. Suddenly, I’ve just become obsessed with a to-do list. The holiday cleaning bug has hit!

 

Do you ever get obsessed with getting things done? To be honest, this obsession doesn’t hit me very often so I’m just gonna’ go with it and get as much done as I can before laziness takes over the obsession fades. I’m sure my future to-do lists will have winter markets and lots of books on them. Oh, and baking! Lots of baking.

What’s on your to-do list?

MOODY MONDAY

May we all make it through the election with the same number of family and friends we had before the election.
And I hope that, whatever the outcome of this election, both sides will conduct themselves with dignity and please, no violence. I’m so tired of the hatefulness.

I AM THANKFUL FOR THE RAINY DAYS

 

Today, I am joining the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) blog hop via Messy Mimi’s Meanderings. Thank you, Mimi.

Well, today has brought more than 10 things to be thankful for so I’ll share 10 here and save the rest for my journal.

  1. Loud thunderstorms!
  2. Lots of rain.
  3. Amazon boxes.
  4. Hot tea in special tea cups.
  5. Endless books to read.
  6. Water. I am always thankful for water.
  7. All of my crafting machines.
  8. Warm fuzzy yarn for soon-to-be warm fuzzy slippers.
  9. Pumpkin bread.
  10. And last, but not least this crazy life I live.

What are some things that you’re thankful for today? Be sure to share in the comments.

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. You can share that in the comments too so we can all share in your joy or just sit back and silently judge you for a weekend spent shopping on Amazon. That’s just crazy. I mean seriously, who spends the weekend on Amazon buying their own Christmas presents NOT ME.

**** Don’t forget about that whole setting your clocks back thing.

NOVEMBER – The waiting is the hardest part…

Hello Everyone! Happy November!
Today, I am thankful for all of you and this crazy thing we share called life. This crazy life that seems to get crazier and crazier every day and then, when you think it can’t get any crazier it takes us to moments that leave me with my eyes popping out, my mouth hanging open and my ears on fire! What the hell are we witnessing??!!
It seriously keeps me up at night.

Here to help me put my anxiety on the back burner (for now) is
15 and Meowing with…

FRIENDLY FRIDAY FILL-INS

1. I – wish they would do away with – daylight savings time.

2. This month, I plan to – attend Winter Markets, read new books, and crochet.

3. The thought of who our next President may be – gives me nightmares.

4. Now that – Autumn is in full swing, – it’s time to – enjoy the beautiful colors, the cooler weather, and lots of baking!

Where have I been and what have I been doing? Trying to survive the summer heat without my flesh melting off of my bones. I am, and forever will be thankful for frigid A/C! It was sooooo nice.

I also did this seemingly never-ending purge of just stuff in my space and I’m thankful to have knocked A LOT of that out because now I have more room for all the stuff Santa will bring!

Since the temperatures have been cooling off, I’ve been super thankful to sleep with my bedroom window open and smell the snow heading our way. It’s fabulous and I can’t wait!

I’m thankful to have made it to the pumpkin patch twice this year and to a festival that had 1,000 carved and lit pumpkins, a chili cook-off, and trunk or treating but those are stories for another day. It was fun even with a couple of hiccups along the way and now I’m looking forward to the Winter festivals.

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m obsessed with our upcoming election. No big secret, Kamala Harris got my vote.
I voted for my daughter and granddaughters because I don’t want Trump “protecting them, whether they like it or not.” The only protection my girls need is to be protected from him!

Okay, well… I can’t promise that will be my last political outburst because anymore it’s just a random pop-off. I’m just thankful to be able to voice my opinion, at least for now anyway…
