I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday It's been several months since I last posted.  COVID has made my anxiety/depression pretty uncontrollable, but I am trying to pull out of it.  ♥♥The Weather♥♥   Our weather in Michigan has cooled off quite a bit.  This week will be upper 70s and lower 80s.  Some rain and possibly even some thunderstorms.  ♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥ I've been off for 4 days and would like another 4 days!       ♥♥On my mind♥♥ So much.  I overthink every single detail - which leads to worse anxiety and depression.  So I've been numbing my mind - also not good - with t.v. and reading.     ♥♥On the breakfast plate♥♥ Overnight oats w/ Vanilla Greek yogurt and pineapple topped with shredded coconut.  ♥♥On my reading pile♥♥ Just finished "If I Had Your Face" by Frances Cha.  It was a part of my work book club.  The author jo...

I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday ♥♥Ramblings♥♥  Has anyone tried Ibotta or Fetch Rewards?  I've been using them for about 2 months and I've earned a little over $40! Yesterday I got big boxes of Kellogg's cereal for 74 cents a box!  Prego spaghetti sauce for 49 cents - and last week I got some free yogurt, 1/2 price Quorn products and Boca burgers and Chik'n for more than 50% off.  3 lbs of free bananas too.  Just wondered if anyone else has used them.   ♥♥The Weather♥♥    It is sunny and will be almost 60 today!!  So excited.  Warmer weather is finally on the way! My cat is relishing sitting in the window warming himself!  ♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥   I have a lot to do. A little overwhelmed - a little mad at myself for not getting more done yesterday!       ♥♥On my mind♥♥          I have rented a car a...

I'm joining in with the "One Hundred Years of Solitude" read along, which starts on March 6th.  It's hosted by Silvia Cachia and A Great Book Study .  You can find all the info HERE  More great information plus a TED talk can be found HERE I'm really excited to have this opportunity to read this book within a group setting.  It is on Master List of 52 Classics  that I would like to read.  I got utterly far behind as I didn't read a single classic in 2019!   From Amazon:   One Hundred Years of Solitude  tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad and alive with unforgettable men and women—brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul—this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction. The ladies have the read-along starting on the author's birthday and ...

I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday ♥♥The Weather♥♥ 40's and 50's this week and plenty of sun!  Thank the Lord spring is on its way!  ♥♥How I am feeling this morning♥♥ Tired.  I've been sick and I am still dragging.  I don't have much of a cough, buy my lungs hurt and I have been having terrible body aches.       ♥♥On my mind♥♥ Of course I am going to post about the Coronavirus again.  I'm in Michigan and the closest cases to me are in Illinois and Wisconsin.  I've been reading too much and while I am far from panicking, I did get prepared.  We have at least 3 weeks worth of food, cat supplies, cleaning and paper supplies. I have seen that in places where there are a few more cases (WA, CA) that people are starting to panic and empty shelves.  With my back and leg issues, I'm physically incapable of standing in lines for hours and hours - so I feel a lot better know...

This is my first time participating in Taking On A World Of Words' WWW Wednesday!    The Three Ws are: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next? Here are the books I am reading right now!  ( don't judge me - I start a lot of books at the same time)  1. Pandemic by A.G. Riddle   So I'm feeling like this book is pretty timely! I've been a fan of dystopian novels for many, many years and a fan of A.G. Riddle.   What Amazon says:  " A worldwide pandemic... A scientific experiment that could change humanity forever... A race to find a cure--and unravel humanity’s darkest secrets." 2. Winter World by A.G. Riddle (i told you)   What Amazon says: "In the near future, an ice age pushes the human race to the edge of extinction. Scientists search for the cause--and any hope of stopping the Long Winter. They send probes into the solar system to ta...

So I may be a day late and a dollar short as per usual - but I'm joining in this week for Top Ten Tuesday !  You can find TTT at That Artsy Reader Girl every .... you guessed it!  Tuesday.  This week's topic, which I think is brilliant btw, is "Characters I'd Follow on Social Media".  It was submitted by  Tilly at  The Biblioshelf . Melanie Hamilton - Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell   Aside from being my all-time favorite book and movie GWTW has some of my favorite characters ever.  Now as much as I adore Scarlett and think she's amazing, I would MUCH RATHER read Melanie Hamilton's posts on Blogger or Wordpress.  I can imagine she would share great homemaking and child-rearing tips as well as how to be kind - even to those people who are not kind to you.  Melanie saw past people's outward behavior and saw deep into their hearts.  We could all use some more Melanie in our lives!  BTW Gone with the Wind is of...
