Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down Day

By -
 I fell for it.  
It works!  It made old Honda Rhonda smell like new. 

I also fell for Lush's soap called:
Honey I Washed the Kids. 

Have I told you how much I love my cordless vacuum? 
How I'll never buy another kind of vacuum. 
I think I've already told you that..sorry

Churchmouse Yarns and Teas is a wonderful Knit site if you are in the mood to search and linger and be inspired.  Definite Thumbs Up. 

My Toms canvas summer shoes are another Thumbs Up. 
I tripped three times today in my old Birkenstocks…what's up with that?  The man at the butcher almost caught me as I tripped. He was young and very kind.  I felt like an idiot.  Both trips involved steps I didn't see.  Perhaps I need those new glasses sooner than later.  Perhaps I'm not used to gripping my Birkies with my toes yet -


Finally, 
the MY Pillow Pillows are pricey but they are very nice.
They are the softest most supportive pillows we've ever owned. 

Anything new you've purchased that you'd like to share a Thumbs Up or Down ?

Are you sure you tripped by accident into the arms of a cute young man? Hmmm ;o)

Thumbs up - Luna S'mores protein bar. Yummy!

Thumbs down ---- the car wash at the Hess station. $10 and I still have a dirty car. :-(

Thumbs up ---- not purchased, but a big thumbs up to having a good friend that helps you figure how to make changes in your life that you really want to make, but that confuse you.

I love Toms but they are always too slick on the bottom for me. I seem to have that problem a lot (slip or trip) because I'm a klutz!

I just found a muffin pan with 12 mini-bundt cups. I love the chocolate chip brownie bundts I made in it. They are so cute and just the right size.

A while ago my boyfriend and I bought wine from Trader Joe's for $5.99, it just had a smilie face... definite thumbs up! :)

I love Lush. When I moved away from a Lush store, I started ordering products online, and got a few mix ups... but their customer service was so good! Once, they sent me some toner and the bottle didn't work... and they sent me a whole new bottle WITH toner!

Sierra Trading Post - thumbs up. Though they bombard my email it's worth it for the coupon offers. :)

You need to come to WA if you like Churchmouse....it's just a fun ferry ride away from Seattle and is close to a wonderful ice cream shop, too!I'm just getting caught up after being away, and it's thumbs up for being home as the weather is GREAT!

So funny...I tripped in my Croc flip flops today in the lobby of our fancy hotel. I felt like an idiot, too. I guess I'm not used to wearing them yet.
Thumbs Up: Pop Chips, yum- and ice machines in hotels. I want one.

I am always tripping over something or another!

I love the candle scent. How funny!

I just discovered Big Lots stores, and I am in love. So cheap!

Hmmm...I'm always looking for a freshener for the car...I may have to try one from Yankee.

The graduation cake is so cute! Very fitting for the end of May!

Cute cake. I'm starving, despite leftover drunken thai noodle stuff.

Thumbs up for the Knight coming to our rescue at the firehouse at the end of our walk, with water for his girls.

Thumbs down for the DIVA's drama; I thought there really was something wrong with her, but when she saw the Knight - a good quarter of a mile away - we had to SPRINT to him. Faker!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
