BUTT SITTING (now with more yarn)

Looking through the draft folder and lookie here what I found. Unused, leftover staycation cartoons. Saving the other one for a different day. Meanwhile, it's Sunday and I'm still in bed, chillin' out. Stack of pillows holding the laptop up. 

In unrelated news, today I'm baking banana chocolate chip muffins and yesterday I made eight everything bagels and now there are four left. When I'm done writing here, I'll go grab a homemade bagel and a raspberry mocha, wrapped in a crocheted blanket in the Christmas nook at home. 

Delightful.

In other news, I found cotton yarn that doesn't get me itchy and rashy and I've been a crocheting fool. Fool, I say, fool. 

Do you know how nice it is to crochet again? 

My word. So nice. Back during The Great Declutter of 2016 when I donated all my crochet stuff and I really missed the craft. A lot. Then I ran into a lady that said cotton yarn might help with the rashing out. Boy was she right. So happy about that. 

Finishing up my first wide turtle neck shawl. Ran out of that yarn yesterday so I might run to get more in between the bakes and snowflakes. Or just stay put, yarn a different thing to hold me over, enjoy Sunday with Christmas movies, a little work in the kitchen and a lot of butt sitting on the couch. 

Whoever invented the couch should win a Nobel Prize. For realz.

As for Christmas gifts to each other, this year we're keeping it light and free of stuff. One online class for me (more on that in another post), and for Smoochie Face, YouTube Premium. I love gifts like that are both useful and don't take up space. 

And that my Boogerbutts is all that's fit to print. Wishing you a yummy week ahead and a groovy 2025. Cheers and boogie boogie. Huggs and Buggs, Me.

BRING IT ON. (I'm ready)

Today was freakin' fantastic. First day of staycation. Tim ran to Horton's for bagels and we watched the first episode of Holiday Baking Championship. What a nice way to start staycation AND we don't go back to work until next Tuesday. How about them apples? 

Speaking of apples, I'm on a hot oatmeal apple bake, kick. Which tastes amazing the next day. With the oatmeal bake we've tried a couple dairy-free whipped toppings. For the money, they should taste better. 

Now I'm on the hunt for a quality stainless steel, aluminum-free whipped cream dispenser. Got my eye on a few. Haven't pulled the trigger yet. 

In other news, right after Halloween, Christmas goes up. The tree looks pretty with all the lights. We also moved the couch and TV around, which is something we do twice a year. Winter-mode and summer-mode for the holiday snug. That's one room done. 

Delightful.

In other, other news, we're moving the kitchen around as well. Got a box of donates headed out the door. Pans and bake dishes I loved for awhile and now don't use. They can go. I recently bought carbon steel cavity baking pans, mini muffin and regular sized for a killer good price. 

I love these pans. Love them. 

Lastly, we went to see Beetlejuice today, using our gift card during the early bird special pricing. Even better, we were the only two at the movie. LOOOOOVE THAT. 

Today was an excellent way to kick off staycation. I loved coming home from Beetlejuice to see the Christmas lights and the snug in winter-mode. To Christmas I say, bring it on, I'm ready. 

Cheers and Boogie Boogie!

NOW WITH MORE SPIDERS

Big weekend plans. Eat pizza, make cinnamon sugar doughnuts, watch more Harry Potter and get out and about with the good camera. If time, break out the original Annie Sloan chalk paint and paint something orange.

Life is good.

LOVE ME A FRESH START

Whelp. I cried today at work. Had a pretty good cry-free run, I did. I'm good with that. And I'm soooo happy the puzzle got solved. Started with tears and then turned into a very good day. Huge thanks and shout-out to my co-workers who helped solve a difficult problem.  With that issue complete, it feels like a fresh start.

Love me a fresh start. 

In other news, do you guys change your blog? I do. This time I changed settings not to allow annoymous comments and also removed almost everything from the side of the blog. Not sure if I'll add recipes with food photos on the side, post cartoons or move the blog posts to the middle and ditch the side bar stuff.

I'll give a play. 

In other, other news, after work we did something we haven't done in years, go out to eat. After that we stopped at Home Depot to walk through the Halloween display. Then ended the night under the covers, on the couch, in the dark, re-watching Harry Potter. 

Not too shabby.

With that, I wish you a yummy weekend ahead as I close this post with a Halloween cartoon.
