 Wow! I haven't posted here in a long while. I am sharing a computer with Brit and he has been writing so that leaves me with my phone which would take me forever to type out a post on. 

Except for a big snow storm a couple days ago winter has been pretty uneventful here. Oh yeah, we had COVID for Christmas! I had a super mild case, but Brit had it bad! We have both recovered now. 

Mostly looking forward to Spring when I can start gardening again! I really have missed having something to do outside these past months. Luckily, most of the winter was warm enough that I could have my coffee outside in the late morning. 

I shall try to return soon with some sort of real post! 😀

  A few weeks back I saw cute obsidian aliens like Pablo on one of those overpriced new agey sites. They wanted $45 dollars, plus shipping! I didn't like it that much so I checked Etsy and found I could get the exact same one from China for under $20 including shipping. He arrived today! I was sitting outside and enjoying rubbing his smooth cool head, not really thinking of anything and all of the sudden the name Pablo popped into my mind! I just assumed he was telling me his name. I would expect a Chinese name, but no that is what came into my head and it was pronounced correctly. Right now I am planning on keeping Pablo next to my bed, which may or may not be a good idea. I wait to see if he has anything else to say!  Addendum: I looked up the meaning of the name Pablo and it was "small and humble." As you can see he is quite small.

Subscription Boxes, part 2: Ipsy

 COVID has been tough on all of us! Not being able to go out shopping for any girlie stuff I subscribed to Ipsy about a year ago.  For those of you who don't know, Ipsy sends out a monthly subscription bag with about 5 items. Most are sample size, but some are full sized. It is $12 per month and if you consider most full sized beauty products (of a good brand) can easily be $10, it is a good deal. Plus, you get to try a lot of new products that you wouldn't necessarily want to buy just to try them.  I just love the little bags so much! You would think getting one a month would be too much, but I use them for all sorts of stuff, not just cosmetics. They are great for crafting supplies, especially if you have a lot of small stuff like beads or even crochet supplies like hooks and needles. I even have a bag full of spare batteries!  The problem with Ipsy during this past year has been that many of the products I can't really use. Skin care and eye makeup is really abou...
