Happy Sunday to everyone! It’s time for our three week update! I got a ton stitched on my girl since last time! Here’s the before: And here’s the after.

Days 9-10 without Facebook

I was really tired after last weekend so the only things I did on Monday were work, tend to sick kitty, pick beans and go to my Trustee meeting at church, plus I got a little more stitching done on Lavendar Girl. A bonus was that my awesome husband had the entire kitchen cleaned upContinue reading “Days 9-10 without Facebook”

Days 4-8 without Facebook

Busy is an understatement if I needed to accurately describe the last four days without social media. Things I got accomplished on Wednesday without thinking about social media: I worked a normal day at the Town office. Dinner was leftovers for me because the Hubs was golfing after work. I got to work after dinner,Continue reading “Days 4-8 without Facebook”

Day 3 without Facebook

I haven’t scrolled mindlessly in 3 days! Things I got accomplished on Tuesday without thinking about social media: I slept in until 7:15 because I was up till after midnight, not because I was scrolling obviously but because my peri-menopausal brain wouldn’t let me fall asleep….sigh. I got my first post written about not beingContinue reading “Day 3 without Facebook”

Day 1 and 2 without Facebook

Things I got accomplished on Sunday without thinking about social media: -Went to Sunday School, Church and weContinue reading “Day 1 and 2 without Facebook”

I didn’t get a ton done in the last 3 weeks on this project, unfortunately. Here’s where I was last update: And here I am now.

Not Impressed With Our Debt – Still working on It

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since my last official Not Impressed post. Paying off our debt is still a struggle and sometimes I just want to give up but we have to keep at it right? In March I came home on a Sunday after church and sat at the computer andContinue reading “Not Impressed With Our Debt – Still working on It”
