@Rista1313 the other Easter egg we had

This one makes more sense as it has an actual egg on it....

I’m back home safe and Kapono (and brad) were happy to see me. At work today I have to help administer state testing for students the first couple hours. I hope I don’t nod off!

Did this ever happen to you or someone you know?.......

When I arrive home from being out anywhere, I take off my wedding band, pull out my wallet and keys....all three items go in a "special" cabinet in the kitchen.
Yet the last three days my wedding band won't come off right away. I have to wait 15 minutes or longer after being inside and then I can get it off. I haven't gained weight. My weight is stable.
Thoughts on that anyone?

I had that happen once when I had too much sodium intake. It also seems to happen when the weather gets warmer and I retain more water. For me it's when I first get up in the morning.

It has been warm and humid. My house is more comfortable climate-wise. Thank you for being interested.

And now I see you've already gotten a load of answers from other people. This is what I get for living in the future.

Another mom from dd’s team came over to help with ironing on the vinyl cut outs I made yesterday. I mastered bordering letters. I just want to keep making more cutouts. It is addicting! Here is a sample.

Make some Disney shirts? I've been looking at shirts on Etsy, but most shops don't ship internationally. But there are some great ideas on there!

 

[Songbird76]

Wow. That was 2 years ago? Feels like yesterday.

Yeah, it really doesn't feel like that long ago. March of 2017. 2017 was a very bad year for us...that was also the year that everything went downhill for DS. It all seems so fresh...I'm guessing it will be a while before we can feel better about it. We're cautiously optimistic now, but the bad memories are still really close to the surface.

But the BINGO was awesome, and it was a great distraction from what was otherwise a rotten situation. I wish I could go back every year.

I used to wear mine all the time and then I ended up getting a fungus where my band was. Lack of the skin being able to always fully dry out after showering, doing dishes, sweat, etc. Itched like heck. I had a pretty red ring on my finger then. I had to not wear it for a week and it healed. Since then, I only wear it out or when people come over.

I take mine off to shower and that's it. I'm paranoid that the shampoo or soap will damage the pearls, (I opted for pearl rather than diamond) and when I was engaged before, my ring was too big and I was afraid it would slip off my finger in the shower and go down the drain. So I always took it off...it's habit for me now. But, the guy I was engaged to...we went to his brother's wedding. His parents were insistent that I had to be there, and they were driving down, I could just ride with them. I should have declined, but I was young and naive, so I said sure. They noticed my ring on the counter when I took a shower, and his mom and grandma lectured me for 2 hours about taking the ring off...how it's a symbol of your love and that just can't be removed. And how their rings had never been off their fingers except during labor/delivery of their children when it was required by the hospital and they had to cut them off their fingers, and bla bla bla. It was apparently "disrespectful" to ever remove the ring. I thought it would be more disrespectful if I lost it, but whatever. I still take my rings off when I get in the shower.

Your grandoggy is so cute! That zoo looks really nice.

Thank you!! He’s a sweetie! The zoo is great. You need to stop and see it one disney road trip. It’s in Asheboro.

I don't know about James but I certainly like those.

 

[Go.Nijntje]

All those dresses are gorgeous. I think my favorite is the pink one. How much does it cost?

More than I can afford, but looking at it was free.

 

[Go.Nijntje]

ahem....AMEN!!!

I still like Frozen, not sure if I'll ever stop.

 

[Go.Nijntje]

Good morning! I am still spending most waking hours on these shirts! I figured out how to border letters last night so I can have glitter letters on top of black. I had to use an app to do that and then upload to the Cricut software. This is really some project I undertook. One mom is going to come over and help to iron this afternoon. Hoping to be at that point today. Wish me luck.

I hope everyone will appreciate your hard work.

Old school. I take mine off only for putting lotion on and if I'm going to mix something with my hands like meatloaf mix or dough.

 

[Go.Nijntje]

Thanks. We had fun with it. It's too bad we couldn't get just plain white mini-marshmallows for the sheep. But oh well. They taste good, and DS was thrilled with them, so that's the important thing.

I would be thrilled with cupcakes like that as well. How about some Efteling themed ones?

 

[Go.Nijntje]

Heads up.. David's has big discounts on point rentals for DVC.

Unfortunately I'm not planning a trip so no need for points.

 

[Go.Nijntje]

Our interweb has been wonky all day I called and it's area wide, sometimes it's fine and then goes out or super slow

Mine used to do that all the time, I wasted so much time trying to make it work. Another reason why I cancelled my internet at home.
I hope yours starts working normally soon.

That looks good!

Oh yeah, I take mine off when I'm making meatballs or biscuit dough, etc.

I'm glad you got home safe, I hope you had a large coffee and managed to stay awake all day.

Maybe at some point. We found some cute sprinkles the other day at Xenos...they are light blue and white and are in the shape of shells and mermaids, etc. So the next ones are going to be mermaid themed.
