My mind is running rampant....

It is so hard to focus when you have nothing you really need to focus on. I remember being a young girl, maybe 5 or 6 and I got the 3 day measles. I was quarantined to the couch and the bed. Couldn't get up except to go to the little girls room. Daddy walked up to the local drug store and bought me a new coloring book, crayons and my very own bottle of 7 Up. I was waited on hand and foot. Mom kept me covered up and warm and was there with medicine and water to help get me well. Now that was a good way to be QUARANTINED. For those who have read my blog for years or are friends with me on Facebook, you all know I have unlimited energy and like to go non-stop from sun-up to sundown. You can imagine how I am doing with all this "stay-at-home" time. I can't even decide simple things like what to have for dinner. I have fixed French toast a few times which is something I love but never fix. Now I am sick of it.


I fried bacon once or twice. It was good. But for somebody who doesn't like to cook and has had to cook for 30 days now, I can't even enjoy bacon anymore.


I am eating way to much for somebody who was doing so good on losing weight so I would look better in t-shirts and shorts this summer.
I was going through some old pictures today and found my pics from my trip to Miami last summer. This was one of me and my friend Danielle on the plane ride. Look how smooth and stylish my hair was on the plane. You couldn't even tell I have any natural curl. 


Fast forward to later that day after being in the Miami heat all day and the curls sprang back to life in a heartbeat. Hard to believe that is the same hair I spent so much time straightening and smoothing earlier that day.


I was putting a binder clip on my brown sugar bag the other day and I thought "Somebody needs to make some pretty ones for use in the kitchen." Well, I went to Pinterest to get ideas. Apparently somebody else thought the old black clips needed "dolled-up" a little.


These are just the most adorable things I've seen. But since I also use this clips for chip bags, I think it would be disconcerting to open my cabinet and see eyeballs staring at me. 


Here are some DIY ones that they have used washi tape on. I love washi tape. May try this. IF we ever leave our houses again.


Speaking of which, are you sick and tired of the people who are doing videos and typing lengthy posts about what the "truth" is about the virus, who's lying to us, what they aren't telling us, etc. And people are sharing it like it is gospel. And I'm over here thinking "Um, okay precious by the looks of your profile you are about 18 or 19 years old and no more than the doctors? And don't get me started on the stupid conspiracy theories that are going around. It is what it is and it will be done when it is done. End of story. 


But all the things that people think they know just makes them look really stupid in some cases. Reminded me of one of my favorite scenes from Guardians of the Galaxy. Her quote is very appropriate today. 


Have a great day!
