The State of the Swankivy - November 2 - November 8
The week in review:- Saturday I did a little bit of household maintenance and blogging and processing of photos. Talked to my friend Sarah on the phone for a while.

The week in review:- Saturday I went to Mom's to sell furniture again. Sold a storage locker and a dresser. I put a lot of effort in to make sure the exit route for the dresser was clear. Someone came for an ottoman but decided not to take it because it was not a storage ottoman (I had not indicated that it was). I listed more items for sale as well ( Read more... )

The week in review:- Saturday was my Christmas Eve party. Before everyone got here I arranged a fruit platter and cookie platter. Mom was early (I know!) and she brought a chicken. Jeaux came next and Lindsay and Mike arrived after. We had kind of a while to still cook so we spent a bunch of time in the kitchen and then played some Cards Against ( Read more... )

The week in review:- Saturday was a lovely Meghan day! I got up late and we had breakfast, then went to Orlando to visit a botanical garden. It was lovely weather and we loved it. Then we went to the Daytona area to visit Buc-ee's because I had never been to one, and I bought a bunch of junk food. I got unreasonably mad about snacks in a gas station ( Read more... )

The week in review:- Saturday my mom was still sleeping in my bed in the morning so we got up and chilled a little bit before she went home. I ended up taking a really long nap after she left. Then I spent the evening writing a long e-mail to my friend Reeny and opened some of my gifts. It was nice to spend some quiet time with my nice scented ( Read more... )

The week in review:- Ended up putting off my blogging stuff most of the day despite my best intentions because I was pretty distracted by election news. Seems like the election has been called and Joe Biden is President-Elect. Besides paying attention to all kinds of fallout from this and doing my walking and talking to people through text and ( Read more... )

The week in review:- Saturday was a lovely day because there were new episodes of Steven Universe! Specifically, the premiere of the new series Steven Universe Future! So they released four episodes at once. I got up early to do my blogging and drawing (which I finished nice and swiftly), and then Jeaux picked me up and we ate at this nice outdoor ( Read more... )

The week in review:- Saturday was a wonderful fun day after having various difficulties the previous week! I got to have my friend Kari over to watch Steven Universe and eat pizza and Cookie Cats (she is still catching up on the show and we watched from episode 120, "Storm in the Room," to episode 128, "I Am My Mom"). Then I got to enjoy even more ( Read more... )

The week in review:- Feeling somewhat better but hacking up a couple of lungs over here! It gave me an opportunity to try raspy karaoke at least.
- A couple people have mentioned seeing the Maclean's article that I was in but darn it I can't seem to get my hands on it, so I have no idea what it says. I hear an online version will be up next week but ( Read more... )
