2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Lol to this. I gain weight on my thighs too! One of the first places...

Mine is mostly on my hips or around my middle, love handles. My legs stay skinny except for the very top of my thighs.

Love this...I think. It’s in German (?) so I can’t tell what the goal is. Where did you find this? I’d like to try to get the English version.

Yes, it´s German. It´s a DIY cardgame. You are to print the cards out, cut and assemble them. Then you lay them all on the table picture downwards, stars up and try to find pairs.

Most of our dishes were purchased individually and don't match. My kids enjoyed picking out which plate they would use for dinner.

The dishes we use every day all came from one or the other house clearance and don´t match unless we were given several from one set. I love to use them- GDR history... (While the "Sunday dishes" my Mum gave me for my trusseau and the other sets I inherited are sitting in the cupboards being kept save from use.)

I just cut it with ordinary scissors. It helps if they are sharp. I cut it dry. DH told me to pull up the hair with the comb and then cut along the comb. After awhile, I figured out the technique. Around the ears, I did it free style without the comb. I told him it would probably be easier just to shave his head.

And what did HE say?????

I'm a collector too. I've collected many different things over the years: art, tin toys, perfume bottles, teacups, miniature tea sets, Lladro, Limoges boxes, Hummel... Purses and keychains are my latest. I've never been a completist (meaning I have to have a complete collection.) I have a few toy robots.

Is there anything like a complete collection? Haha! I have the feeling once you think you have covered some aspect completely you will find another feature to consider and more items are needed.... confessions of a mad collector!

We got something like this. Very sharp so be careful! https://smile.amazon.com/Equinox-Professional-Shears-Razor-Edge/dp/B00KVYBY8M/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1POBRRBX2XK2K&dchild=1&keywords=haircut+scissors+professional&qid=1586695998&sprefix=haircut+sci,aps,181&sr=8-2

A trimmer is basically an electric razor and it comes with different attachments so you can do different lengths of hair. I think we had to get a special one of these as well.

Thank you! Amazon is slow on shipping items like this, but I found a similar one on the Tweezerman site.

Buuuuuut… I asked Mr. PG if he'd trust me to cut his hair, and he said that yes, he'd trust me, but "Why don't we just let it grow for a while and see what it looks like?" I didn't have the heart to tell him that it already isn't a good look, so I just said "Yes, dear." After all, it's not as though anyone but me is gonna see him…

I've never watched the original but I should! I do like the remake although I'm sure it's scandalous for me to even say that

I like the remake too! But the original is just such a classic. It's definitely dated (I mean, the technology, or lack thereof, is hysterical!) but Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway are a hot-hot-hot combination.

Thanks for this info. InstaCart has been spotty in my delivery area. We have a local service that will run errands. I volunteered to help but was turned away for being over 60, LOL. Now I think I might *use* the service if i decide to patronize local restaurants for take-out. I want to keep people employed!
As for walking - I don't wear a mask, as I'm in a sparsely populated area and/or in the woods. Do whatever you can, though, to get outside often! I am loving the peace and quiet.

I agree, this is so important. "Motion is lotion," as they say!

Happy Easter, to those who celebrate.

Mr. S and I are going to the drive in theater to “celebrate”. We just have GOT to get out of the house. For obvious reasons, they don’t have concessions so I’m trying to figure out what snacks to take. It will be 37 degrees so we’ll also take blankets and likely end up running the car heater all night. And, it’s 90 minutes away so, we’ll be in the car quite a bit tonight. Lol! Lots of gyrations just to have something to do.

Happy Easter to you!
Did you enjoy the outing to the drive in cinema?

 

[cowgirlsboots]

Sent a bag out this morning, so at least I am now even for the month so far. Though thank goodness I don't count shoes. I ordered quite a few sandals . May need to order more pants soon if I keep sticking with my diet. It seems to come off so much slower than it did when I was a bit younger. Ten pounds down so far though .

Congratulations on the sale and on losing 10 pounds! Well done!

Well - not too scandalous - because I've not seen the original either but i've seen the remake many times.
(I have a Steve McQueen issue… sorry!)

+1
I sometimes think Mr Cookie is trying to single handedly keep our favorite small restaurants in business. My thighs and belly don't thank him, my heart does because I also love these places.
I am also not wearing a mask when I walk in the neighborhood, but it's quiet and I stay away from the other walkers (or walk early - when no one is out).

Happy Easter, to those who celebrate.

The drive in!!
We used to go, take the kids (in their jammies), loaded to the gills with popcorn, candy and sodas - ahhhh - the good old days!
I don't think there are any remaining here, which makes me a bit sad…. so I take another sip of Champagne!

I played a game like that when I was a child. It was called Concentration.

I gotta say, bald is kinda sexy.

L ong hair is kinda sexy, too! I´m very happy my man wears his hair long. It suits him very well and cutting it is easy, too. Cutting his beard is a little more complicated, but so far I have always managed.
Our son has the longest hair of the family. It goes well over his butt. He usually wears it in a thick braid. The other kids at school tease him about it, but he loves it and stands up for it.

 

[whateve]

And what did HE say?????

He didn't think it was a good idea! I bet he won't let me get anywhere near his head with a razor!

Once DH grew a mustache. It looked horrible. I took a picture just to remind us in case he ever decided to grow another.
