Plans Change…

I normally don’t plan out my entire day, so I would have an idea what I want to do versus what I am actually going to be able to do.  I was trying to step out of my ordinary day, but plans don’t always go the way you work them out in your head or on paper (depending on how you think).

I have been walking past a storage bin at work for weeks and when it went on sale I got happy. Then I started thinking “I don’t really need this, because I already had one.” I kept on walking and then it went on sale again and I knew it was coming home with me. 

I haven’t had time to take it out of the box and build it. Today was going to be my day to do just that, but old arthur “arthritis”in my right hand is screaming “NO WAY – NOT TODAY!” loud and clear. Arthur you are going to get out of my body and NEVER come back, because by His blood I am healed…

I got a new project I am still hoping I can at least start. Having a full weekend off is a treat and I don’t want to just watch anime and sip in hot lemon water. Now don’t get me wrong, I am in a realizing state right now, but I didn’t want to have a lazy weekend. Oh well it is what it is……

Starting Over….

I am Not sure when I lost track of “Me,” but somehow that is what I did. I was so proud of the 23 pounds I lost, but my doctor didn’t see it my way. I know she was explaining something important, but I was too upset to pay attention. Yes, that was beyond wrong.

That was a few days ago and I can either stay in the past or I can move on. I am looking ahead to a better me and leaving the old sad girl behind. I started a 25 push-up challenge for 30 days. I know I am a few days late, it was 25 this morning and another 25 before I have my last cup of water for today.

I have also stepped up on drinking water. Hot lemon water with a little honey, turmeric, and ginger makes drinking water a little easier. I may be cheating a little, but I am drinking more water. 

I am creating more and running out of space, it’s time to get to selling my projects. I also realized a few things?

  1. I enjoy creating crochet projects..
  2. I like to make something personal for anyone who likes homemade crochet items.
  3. I am NOT ALL ABOUT $$. Yes, I would like to have a little extra spending $$ in my pocket. The thing is I know there is a person on the other side of the computer screen and why not get that person in on their special items..

I am on the hunt for another anime while I work on my next project…..

Online Traveling #20: Maryland…

Photo by Hugo Magalhaes on Pexels.com

I have been wanting to do something out of my everyday routine. It didn’t matter how many times I said I was going to do something when I got home from work. I couldn’t get past only wanting to rest, eat, and spend some time with my son.

This weekend became a lazy weekend and that was cool. I have been wanting to learn a new crochet stitch and did just that.[  Ditsy Daisy Granny Squares – Crochet Tutorial   https://youtu.be/Z4joYW3RkNs

I may have had to add an extra stitch that works best for my work, I still had fun, and I can’t wait to create more. 

Sidenote:  I will talk more about my new crochet stitch at a later time. I realized I haven’t taken any time to write or watch my next state. Maryland is up. I never really thought about this state, so I have no idea what there is to do or anything about it. I guess it’s time to get some of these questions answered.

{} Maryland

State of the United States of America

Maryland is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to its south and west; Pennsylvania to its north; and Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean to its east. En.wikipedia.org {} 

So my first stop is: https://www.maryland.gov 

What caught my attention was  “Maryland Fun for Everyone,” and here is that page: https://www.visitmaryland.org 

  • This gives you some ideas on what you can do there and some fun things to do online like puzzles to nice pictures to look at.
  • The free state scavenger hunt looked like fun.

My next stop in Maryland was Ocean Pine and the video I watched https://youtu.be/pDhsLyMpP2k   Ocean City Maryland Walking the Beach Boardwalk July 2021.  Was so boring that I really don’t want to look for another video, but that wouldn’t be right.

I only saw more places on the beach, which had too many people (without mask on mind you SMH) and houses for sale. So, I guess I am moving on after all. I was told there wasn’t anything interesting in Maryland, but that can’t be true.

For some reason I found a lot of the best places to live and places not to go. I was ready to call it quits until I came across a 4K video. Like other videos from 4K they are just driving and you are watching from a car’s point of view. If I see something that catches my attention. I would rewide to get a name and go from there.

{} Westminster, Maryland

City in northern Maryland, United States

Westminster is a city in northern Maryland, United States. A suburb of Baltimore, it is the seat of Carroll County. The city’s population was 18,590 at the 2010 census. En.wikipedia.org {}

#1 This looked to be a nice quiet place to live. There were a few buildings that caught my attention, but I couldn’t see what the buildings were.

The next video started before I could stop it. The music is nice and since it is in another part of Maryland I am watching it.

#2 –  I am really enjoying this video.

I would like to say I am going to hunt for more videos, but since my tummy is yelling at me. I can only focus on what I am going to eat, so I am cutting my time in Maryland short. There could be something fun to do or some interesting to learn, but I am going to cut my search short for now. Only time will tell if I come back here, Now that I am thinking about it, I don’t think I will. 

I want to create more creative granny squares and continue to relax for the rest of this snow day.

Anime Watch List #5: Snow With with the Red Hair

(This picture reminded me of Shirayuki, she liked to look for herbs in the forsest)

All I want is to watch an anime without fighting in it and that is hard. I didn’t realize how hard it is to find a show I haven’t already watched or one I didn’t care to watch. I don’t want to give up on my hunt…

I almost passed up watching a good show, because I thought it was going to be like a different take on a Disney show. The anime I am talking about is, “Snow White with the Red Hair.” I really liked this anime….

Snow White with the Red Hair is a Japanese shōjo manga written by Sorata Akizuki. It was serialized in Hakusensha’s bi-monthly shōjo manga magazine, LaLa DX but has since moved to monthly LaLa and is published in collected volumes by Hakusensha. Wikipedia

I very much enjoyed this anime and even though it seemed like it ended on a good note, I couldn’t helped, but wanted to know more about the story. I was watching this on Hulu. I thought that was the end of the story, until I found out there isn’t going to be a third season.

I just had a thought, “is season three in a book?” I did ask Google and something came up, but my computer said the word virus so I clicked off that site and I am moving past this story.

I believe it will have a good ending. I may just go back to one of my favorite shows for now as I work on a scarf for my little one. I cannot believe how cold it has gotten here in North Carolina. It was in the 70’s last week. The sun is out, too bad it’s warmth isn’t with it.

I don’t want to give up on finding another anime. It can have some fighting, but nothing over the top. I am going back to my search and hope for the best. 

Okay, I know there is an anime out there, but for now I am done looking for it. I decided to finish watching the anime “K,” and get back to my crocheting. I just can’t let all this light go to waste.

I don’t remember why I stopped watching this show, so I am going back to it to get my answer.

Not This Time…..

I saw these red Christmas wine glasses a few weeks ago and thought they would look nice on my table. I knew I wasn’t going to pay $5.00 for each one (I was thinking about buying all 12 glasses) and they would be gone before it got marked down. I was wrong, because I was able to buy two glasses for less than $3.00. Two is better then none at all.

I wasn’t going to walk past something I wanted. Well, unless it cost too much and I have to ask myself: 

  1. Do I need this?
  2. Why do I want this?
  3. Is it worth me buying it?
  4. Can I live without it?
  5. Is it important enough?

If I get at least three positive answers to my questions, then I will buy this item, and be happy I bought it……..
