DS requested a "32x24 picture of Mooch" for Christmas. :thud:

I think he wants to replace a framed poster that hangs over his bed. I need to measure when he isn't looking.

I wonder how much a photographer would charge to come and secretly do a photoshoot with my nearly 20 year old, uncooperative cat who glares at my phone if she thinks I'm taking a picture. The "funny" part is one of Mooch's former sitters is a photographer so I COULD hire her and she'd think it was a hoot. The problems are 1. blowing the Christmas budget and 2. keeping it a secret from DS.

What a request! :lol:

I think that is a great idea! I like DS's thinking!

Law of living with tiny humans. If they have to be up early in the morning, you're dragging them out of bed at 8. If you finally have a day to sleep in a bit they're up before 7.

:sigh:
WAIT until they are in their late teens. They'll do their best to leave in the morning before they get home from the night before!

A couple of years ago, after my old tablet died, Michele got me an Amazon Fire as a replacement, and it has been a love/hate thing ever since.....and mostly hate. The latest twist, though, is that to view photos on a micro SD card, I have to first upload them to their website before I can see them. My pictures, that I took with my camera, and THEY want access to them? This was not the case previously; it is something new to me. So, now if I want to preview my photos, I have to use the tiny screen on my camera itself. Thanks- for nothing- Amazon.
And yes; I sent them a nastygram asking why the change, and telling them to mind their own business instead of poking their collective noses into mine.

I have so much worries lately. My cat's health and mine. I have to do a mammogram recheck Friday and I hope I don't have cancer 😭
I lost a friend to it 10 yrs ago. I worry because no idea if vaccines for virus will be halted because of future education of health department.
The idea of chemo scares me as well . I'm so anxious 😟

I would try a small bag...but I'm not holding out much hope I would like them.

I just looked outside to see what the wind is doing... Why is my child clearning the garden? He's breaking the 16' tall sunflower stalks that are still there and laying them in the garden. Ok then. Crack on.

He's also wearing his red baseball hat under his furry trapper winter hat. I suppose it does match his red sweatpants and red gloves. :lol:

Oooo I love furniture shopping!! :cloud9: Its a good time with holiday sales starting already. Plus beating the worst crowds!

We went to the outlets today and did damage in a bookstore. :biggrin: DD chose a Vietnamese cookbook and I am intrigued. Apparently the mother of a girl in her small group sent food one week and DD really enjoyed it. I found a cast iron cooking cookbook and I’m needing to raise my iron; so one came home with me.

I also dragged both kids into Old Navy. (DH stayed in the car with a Frank Peretti novel.) DS needed men’s size pajamas for length but gosh I’m going to need to stitch the waistband! 😩 Even with a drawstring. DD was way more fun. I’ve got her styled for Christmas card pictures with a cute and cozy hat and scarf that makes her hair color look amazing. We found a green sweater that brings out all the warm, carmely tones in it too. She is WAY more fun to dress than dressing myself. :lol: I need her godmother to help with makeup choices though. Thats not my expertise. Especially having different undertones in our skin. 🤪
