#tbt Two Things Have Not Changed Since I Was A Kid: My Undying Love For My BFF @lza_plays And My Fascination

We've started work on the bathroom!!! The awesome super carpenter guy hiding his face is John, the husband of my friend Melanie😊 He's already squared up the step for the toilet and closet area (we have wierd plumbing, don't ask 😒) and is fixing the wall to ready it for hanging sheet rock. I have to pick up some mildew killer/sealant spray for the damaged wood and walls and then we'll be able to move forward with mudding, sanding, and eventually painting after that cures for a few days! I'm so relieved that all the problems that weren't tackled by the previous contractor are FINALLY being fixed! There's quite a bit to do, but it's getting done🦊❤ #bathroom #bathroomredo #fixit #diywithhelp #farmlife #farm #thankgoodnessforfriends

I havent postes on a while so I thought I'd share what I've been up to in my #bujo. I added some #washitape and stickers to my June page. I'm quite liking how the #goldfoilwashi adds a bit of shine to my humble drawings. I purchased the gold foil washi tape from #michaelscraftstore The purple washi and "beautiful" sticker is from the #targetbullseye #dollarsection The bird sticker was given to me from @brimalaspino years ago and is from #cavallinipapers I used the #sakurapigma #micronpen in 0.20 and #tombow #dualbrushpens 755, 676, N55, 133, 173, 296, and 725. #bulletjournal #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #bujobuddies #bujomonthly #planner #june #roses #tombow #sakuramicron #target #shiny #drawing #mixedmedia

I started unpacking and took a #sneakpeek picture of goodies I found on my travels 🦊❤🗺🚅🚌🛣🚤🛫 ° Leocadia and I arrived home yesterday evening after a few weeks visiting family in #newengland ! We had #fun and #adventure and went on a couple #expeditions to #museums and areas of interest. ° We spent lots of time with family, especially with my Gran 💖, went #swimming, and got to ride in some boats on #lakewinnipesaukee . After all the hustle and bustle, I am so happy to be back in #tennessee despite the humidity and heat that is typical of #southernsummer ♨️🌡😅! ° A huge THANK YOU!!! goes to @joshpneal for giving us a ride to and from the #nashvilleairport ! ° I'll post more pictures of my #goodies later, after I manage to check the farm and animals, run errands, and pick up mail in town... #priorities ° Right now I need #tylenol 💊for the muscles I pulled in my back yesterday 😖 and #coffee ☕to help get me moving! #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #bulletjournal #bujo #travel #antiques #vintage #massachusetts #newhampshire #shoppingspree #goodies #coffeelove #coffeeislife #backpain

Yay! Book mail arrived today! I ordered The Sleeper and The Spindle, by Neil Gaiman, Stardust, also by Neil Gaiman (my first copy disappeared under mysterious circumstances several years ago when I was at University), and for a bit of fun I also ordered Doll Hangouts from @americangirlbrand American Girl Publishing. I read chapter books to Leocadia. She loves that she has to wait for each new chapter to find out where the story is going. Her favorite thus far has been Coraline, by Neil Gaiman, and once I'm finished reading that book, I shall read Stardust to her. After that, I'm going to introduce her to Madeline L'Engle and her Wrinkle in Time series. She doesn't mind if there are no pictures. She pays attention and asks questions when she doesn't understand something, and she always, always, wants me to read more. And that makes me a very happy mommy!❤

No matter what project I'm working on (I have several right now, so please excuse the mess😨), Dollar always sits near me and chews on his beef bone. My #constantcompanion , he keeps my feet warm at night when he takes up the majority of my bed, he protects Leocadia, he scares coyotes away, and is a #spoiledrottendog But as soon as my brother comes home for a visit, Dollar quickly becomes his #bigpuppy Traitor. 🤣

To the man who was running into us with his kids wagon as everyone exited the zoo: All you had to say was "excuse me" or "sorry" and move over a little. Instead, you told your wife to move over because I was trying to get your attention so my kid wouldn't get hurt. You got offended that anyone would walk near you and snidely claimed I was "in a rush". I wasn't. I just didn't want you hitting us with your obnoxious wagon. You are a jerk. To the wife of said jerk: There was no reason for you to try starting an argument. There was no reason to be rude. EVERYONE was leaving the zoo at the same time. Having a wagon and stroller does not entitle you to take up the entire walkway and run people over and then act like it's their fault you're being entitled, rude shits. There was also no reason for you to insult me and threaten my child. YOU FUCKING THREATENED MY CHILD. Sll because I didn't want you and your jerk husband running us over. Yes, everyone had kids there. Yes, everyone was going to the parking lots. And no one else were being selfish shits and trying to threaten people and start fights but you two. My kid may have a mother who curses like a sailor, but at least I'm not raising my child to be an entitled ass that THREATENS OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN! I should have called the police. You don't seem to understand that threatening children is NOT OK. I hope karma bites you in the ass.
