Warning - Do NOT operate a glue gun while sick!





Good morning all! This week has started off very, very unproductive! It seems I have either caught my son's "cooties" from last week or some stranger has shared some of theirs with me! I have been sick since Sunday afternoon & I haven't got much done around the house. I'm afraid the dust bunnies are going to rise up & take over our poor little house if I don't get to feeling better soon! lol I have spent most of my time on our couch (pictured above) - unfortunately our couch isn't very comfortable at all! It was my late grandma's & I had always loved it at her house but once we moved it to our house I realized why grandma kept it upstairs in an extra bedroom...it wasn't because she just had extra room -nope it was because it is as hard as a ROCK!!! I promised my husband one day when we get a bigger house we can get new furniture & our poor couch can be moved to our own "extra" room! lol


Anyways - as for the title of my post today - I learned yesterday that I should NOT be allowed to use my glue gun when I'm sick! I had the scariest thing happen to me! I attempted to work on some cans I had grubbied up over the weekend ... I didn't get very far though ... It turns out when I thought about working on them in the morning I must've plugged in my glue gun (10ish or so) - well I didn't actually go to work on them till like 4 in the afternoon - so my glue gun had been plugged in for like 6 hours!! I was so upset! I guess I can't handle operating a glue gun when I'm sick! lol Thank goodness nothing got burnt! Needless to say I unplugged it & called it a day! I figured I better not chance anything else!


The only other thing that has been accomplished here has been eating Girl Scout cookies! I had ordered some Girl Scout cookies from a friend of ours & they were delivered on Sunday afternoon....I can't tell you how much I LOVE samoas!! I had ordered 4 boxes for our house & by then end of Sunday I had managed to finish a whole box off by myself!! Luckily yesterday I had to run to our insurance office (which is down the street from my mom's house) -so while I was close I delivered her boxes of samoas & stuck my extra 2 boxes in her freezer! It's a good thing I did too because with the help of my hubby last night -another box bit the dust! I don't know what is in those darn cookies but I can't stop once I start! lol


Well that's all the "excitement" going on around here... hopefully my "cooties" will be gone tomorrow - today's not looking too promising! I hope everyone else is feeling good & has a great day!

Feel better!! I can't function well when I am sick so I just don't bother with a lot of stuff, including crafting... and especially laundry and dishes. (hehe)

It is THAT season, the season of Girl Scout cookies! I have two cookies left from the 3 boxes we bought from some girls outside our local Walmart two weekends ago. We don't know any GS personally so we spend cookie season buying from the girls who sell outside of the different stores up here. The cookies are addicting and I think it's best that they are not available year around!

We need to put some softer foam in your cushions. Also, I have resisted opening my samoas so far, because I know I can't control myself once I do. But believe me, they are whispering to me even now.... I hope you feel better soon.
