@gidgetgh I can totally relate, as I tend to overthink everything. Sometimes I do get to a decision like you and the Buttercrisp crackers, but many times I just get stuck and wind up doing nothing.
I am not a Libra, but I do equivocate and make lists of the pros and cons.

I wish you good luck.

We are in the middle of a few days of cooler weather. Yesterday it snowed just a smidge at my house and this morning it's snowing light to medium off and on. Loving it!

What a cool post - Off Topic. Don't have anything to add, just think it's a nice post.

Actually, @gidgetgh, I envy you to have the opportunity to move to a smaller home. If it were me, I'd go for it. I've been wanting to downside to a smaller, maintenance-free home for about 5 years - but my husband won't even talk about it. Of course not. He doesn't have to clean and maintain this place!

These conversations got me thinking about waiting for "the ice cream man" when I was a kid. We'd stop whatever we were doing when we heard his music. The popsickles were 7-cents -- the drumsticks were 8-cents. A fortune!

Nothing but rain here the last week. There are toadstools in my front yard and puddles in the back. Thank goodness, not much flooding here. I need sun!

@tototwo The ice cream man was the highlight of our day. I spent summers at my grandmother's house and there was the ice cream truck and a snow cone man who pushed a wooden cart with his shaved ice and syrup ringing a bell.

We had to decide which one to choose as we were only allowed one.

The other thing we really enjoyed was the milk man who delivered our dairy products. Before refrigeration in the truck, large ice blocks were in there to keep things cold. On a hot day, we would all run to his truck and ask if he would chop off pieces of the ice so we could suck on them or put them all over our hot little bodies. What a treat!

Good times!

Looking forward to getting my 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine tomorrow.

Tonight I'm stopping at Hobby Lobby to purchase some craft paint. When we first got married my husband's mom made out of wood a lovely Snoopy outdoor decoration. It's now 40 years later and we still have it. It has been repainted a few times, and it's time to do it again. So that will be my project for the weekend. My mother-in-law passed away several years ago and this item brings back wonderful memories of her to both my husband and my self.

Also, have grocery shopping planned - yuck! That is something that I've never enjoyed.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!!!!

I really scored at Meijer's today. I bought porterhouse steaks on sale for $5.99 a pound (my Kroger store was $12.99 a pound), chicken breasts on sale for $1.79 a pound, ribs on sale (forget how much) and got a $10.00 coupon off total purchase, another $3.00 coupon on total purchase, and 2 other coupons for a couple other items.

Eating good for awhile!

Man plans. God laughs.

@caroln242 It does seem like you got some great bargains! Almost like the store owed you money back! 🍖🍗💰

In my area,, most people are still wearing masks.

I put one of mine in the microwave, no reason other than the mask was a bit damp and the microwave was there, didn't turn out well and now I have one less mask. It was a favorite too.

Do you have a favorite mask or more than one? The one from the microwave was my only navy.
