whew...that is good to know!
My only disasters have been deep snow living up north and we kinda can handle that and then the stupid ice storms down here in the south, and again I can handle it.
but those big storms with tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding and all that are just darn right scary. Never had to deal with it.

got about 700 bars of soap done for the craft fair this weekend. Fri/Sat. Then next week is the same and my market times are over until April next year. I hope 90% sell. But with the economy I am thinking about 80%. Sales down a bit from last year all during the market season. Not by much, but we shall see. Then have to get a good reload for next week and whew, donzo for a bit.
Nothing much doing. Found a few new sites to play around on. SS site from the UK. That is wild chatting with them. When I moved from the North to the South the words were wild enough, like a tobaggan is a hat. But the UK has slang I can' barely understand LOL LOL
I love surfing the web and finding what is out there. So cool.
weather beautiful.
putting out Christmas decorations tomorrow on the lawn.
Told my neighbor who is installing my water heater timer that I want the more expensive one that can change more times instead of one block of time. He said he will get me that one. I can't wait to get that timer in. I spoke with alot of people and they said shutting her down will save me money. They did it and saw a good reflection in their bills.
having a blast. off to get in some more fun today before the sun goes down, which it is already.

Wonderful day today. Sunny and nice but BBBrrrr
soap as usual. keeping me busy
then we are going outside and decorating the front of the house with the Christmas decorations. Kiddo is super excited.
good thing I got everything ready to go.
the kiddo has a b-day party at the YMCA. I will drop her off, then go hit the store for a while and pick her up. party is only 2 hrs long. very short I think. another 1 hr would be nice. so when I drop her I kinda got to hang around cause 2 hrs will go fast.
Bro can't come down for Christmas this year. They just got back from 2 weeks in Spain. He said he is worn out which I understand. So he is shipping down a laptop computer for kiddo for Christmas. Ah, can't ask for anything more.
Kiddo is going to do so well this Christmas it is scary! scary good for her tho haha
so tonight she should be pooped to the max. Then my relax time will kick in and I will enjoy it
everyone enjoy this great day.

had a great weekend. can't ask for more.
today is hit the road and get a prescrip refill for Tony's thrumb. HOORAY. the new anitbiotics are finally working. The swelling is going down, it is not stiff in the joint like before and it 'just looks' better. So this is the ticket to fixing the thumb and I am glad he is finally on the mend. Should heal and be done now. ugh, that was a long time fighting that thumb for him
Nothing dramatic today. Usual things and other than hitting the pharmacy no other stores needed.

today is coupon time
will do very well on this haul.
DARN---only have 2 sugar coupons. .50 off and will double to $1
5 lbs. on sale for $1.97 (Domino) So will get 10 lbs of sugar for $1.94
that is good right? yea it has to be LOL I rarely buy sugar. Not a big baker and 5 lbs lasts me about 1/2 a year.
So 10lbs is like a years supply along with the bag I have in the pantry. WEE
not alot of stuff in coupons I buy but the ones I will be using today means this stuff will be darn near free. Can't go wrong ever.
Rainy...but mild. House was 70 all night. I hope alot more days go like this. NO heat has to be used. And fireplace not used. I sure love these mild temps in the good old South.
was going to hit the big stores today but decided no. too rainy. too messy. I figure since weather is lousey everyone had my idea to hit the stores. so will do that next week.
One more craft fair 2 days this week and get thru end of Dec. and a part of Jan. and soap will be slowed down considerably. I have my down time about Jan 10--March 1. I love those weeks of not being all about soapmaking And it is time to clean the soap room.
so off to hit the grocery and that is about it other than usual chores. Wind is blowing big time out there! Woo.....
