Similar to others, if I eat ice cream or drink milk it helps for a little while. But then I am back to craving sugar again. I ordinarily do not eat sugary treats at all and it's so obvious when it strikes because I will drive straight to DQ and buy a banana split! I've been blood sugar tested and it always comes up good, blood pressure, cholesterol, all well within normal. So strange.

I still have it and keep meaning to make a smaller slipcover for it to regain the loft it once had. I also have a million pillows I'm not happy with. I've found the travel pillows from Walmart are perfect for me for a month or 2, after which I toss to the dogs.<br />They're super cheap at only $3-$4. Its worth it to have . fresh lofty pillow every month rather than investing in more expensive pillows that come with 2 to 10 year lifetime warranties haha-read the fine print. <br />After the dogs, i wash them and then throw the polyfill (instead of dryer lint) into my garden for any animals that squirrel away that kind of stuff for nesting material.Kymchiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583250031082080354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-28429682759294338442019-08-23T15:20:52.872-06:002019-08-23T15:20:52.872-06:00I figured I could use a fitted sheet to cover my r...I figured I could use a fitted sheet to cover my recliner just needed to see it.

How they choose to spend their money is not your responsibility. It's their overall mindset that gets them into financial trouble, not purchasing a seating chart! While my husband and I chose a more simple reception, we did spend money on caterers rather than doing the food ourselves or having friends/family do it, as I wanted all attending, myself included, to have an opportunity to relax and enjoy our meal instead of working. We did splurge a bit in that area, but we balanced it out in other ways to make it affordable for us. <br /><br />Yay for a sale! Keep plugging away--I'm sure business will pick up.

EXACTLY! You know, since I've been working on this stuff, the web bots tend to follow me around offering up ads and stories about weddings, and I've read some truly horrifying stuff about people going into massive debt to finance their weddings, and/or people going into debt just to finance the privilege of being a member of the wedding party! So yeah, I do sorta feel like I'm contributing to the downfall of who knows how many marriages. On the other hand, if they don't buy my stuff they're gonna buy someone else's stuff, so I may as well make a few pennies off of it. <br /><br />Anyhow, three cheers for snark. I'm sorta hoping that when the holiday season rolls around people will go looking for gifts and maybe I'll get more takers then. I did sell the "I have NO CLUE what I'm doing" design on a foam beer can holder today!

We had a late morning wedding, brunch reception in our church's fellowship hall (read: free site, no alcohol allowed, bonus!), and there was plenty of seating so except for the bridal table (which is sorta creepy, like Debbie M. said, except that we all liked each other so it wasn't awkward), it was a self-seating situation. I have a hard time with the concept of spending tens of thousands on one day of my life; I feel like so many couples spend a lot of time, attention, and money on the wedding whereas if they would put the same focus on the actual marriage, their lives would be happier in the long run, but that's me on my soapbox. :)<br /><br />Personally, I love the snarky stuff, especially the Donner Party apron. For what it's worth, products with cat- and dog-related humor seem to be biggies so I'm wondering if you can expand your market in that area.

So far I've earned a grand total of $232.94 - so I'm not exactly getting rich here. But like any passive income stream, you have to invest time up front and hope that it pays off later.<br /><br />And oh no! Carpet beetles in your car, that doesn't sound good. My advice is to roll up the windows and park it in the hot sun for as long as you can. If you can get the temperature up to 130 degrees for 4 hours, that should kill most of them off.EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-58292294759167058122019-07-03T12:27:03.875-06:002019-07-03T12:27:03.875-06:00Hmmmm... pictures on soda bottles, now that's ...Hmmmm... pictures on soda bottles, now that's an idea I hadn't thought of.
