@Koah:
@Purpsy:
Good mornafternoon to you both! I went out to run an errand or two before the rain got here - got everything done and got home just in time too (although it's just barely raining ATM)!

Celebrities... huh. Like you, Koah, I've run in to a few and chatted with them too, and I'm not one to get particularly "star struck" but if hanging out with one over dinner was something to do, I'd choose Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Sting, or maybe Gordon Ramsay (although I'm not sure I'd want to do dinner with him -lol!!) ... they all seem like they're "well balanced", interesting people who would be fun to just hang out with...

@Wildfire: lol yeah Ramsay might not be a good dinner-date kinda person.
Although watching his kids' TikTok account, Ramsay seems like he's only sassy for tv.

I was friends with a famous chocolate chef for over a year before I ever saw him on tv. I hung out with him early mornings while he prepped his shop for the day.
But he opened a second location, he gave me a gift certificate to go. I did. and it was insanely fancy and they had a monitor showing his scenes on a worldwide chocolate show competition thing. I didn't even realize. lol! I do miss his company. He got really busy, had a divorce, his kid became a teen, etc. Life happens.
I have a handful of celebrity stories.
The only celebrity I ever met that I wanted to punch in the face was... the youngest Kardashian. I forget her name. -sticks tongue out- she is SO RUDE. And I didn't even know who she was at the time!

Anyway, I'm glad you got your errands done before the rain. :3
I cleaned/scrubbed my kitchen last night. So I woke up happy with a clean space to hang out in. C:

@Koah: lol... yeah... I can completely imagine wanting to punch any of that brood in the face, tbh.
I'm glad you have at least one clean space you feel comfortable hanging out in. I think that's what the garden is turning in to for me - it's the only thing that's really 100% "mine" right now and there are supposed to be random bits of debris in the corners ... and it's leaves, not dog hair or random boxes or miscellaneous papers, etc. /sigh/ My guys are so messy and unorganized!

Good morning everyone. Somehow it got to be Friday again. I'm not quite sure how that happened, tbh...

Have some goodies...

.... and tell me ---------------> If you could plan any vacation, what would it look like?

★彡 Yeah this week is flying by fast
*takes the *

Somewhere there's not a lot of people and is tropical with good architecture and culture. Which is hard to decide where and my limited geography knowledge (・ε・`*) … 彡★

@Wildfire: your own space is good. <3 I'm glad the garden is your space now. <3
unfortunately, I don't exactly have a 'me' space right now. This whole household has become like family. So even if I locked myself in my bedroom, there'd be knocking within an hour.
so I hang out in my computer bubble which overlooks the kitchen and I can hear people coming from the other end of the house.
My son passed his belt test. So now he's a yellow belt.
No spectators were allowed, but I could peek and see him hyper-focused on the sensei from out of town.[his teacher's teacher.]
He did amazing until the doors opened and kids could go be picked up by their parents. The room was FULL of parents. He gripped the door and wouldn't let go until I squeezed my pregnant butt through the crowd and grabbed his hand.

I went and bought a flavored coffee this morning. <3 so good.

@Purpsy: Tropical with good architecture... what comes to mind immediately is parts of Mexico, certain parts of South America (Belize, Guatamala), or over in South Asia (Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia) maybe?? I'm curious - why would you choose a place like that to visit if you could??



@Koah: Oh, I sympathize completely with you, hiding out in your little computer bubble!! I hope you can find a more true "you space" soon though!
It's good to have my own space (or something resembling it)... but it means that I have to deal with pollen right now and it's only a matter of time before somebody in the family decides to intrude. I keep trying to define a little "me space" and it's like as soon as I get it to where or how I like it, somebody else decides they want to be there /sigh/

Congrats to your son for passing his belt test! I bet he's excited! :3

@Wildfire: I know how that goes. You get your comfortable 'me space' set up! and because it's so comfortable, people join! lol.
I cleaned the kitchen, spotless. And my husband decided the last 2 nights that he needed to cook. =3= I appreciate him cooking... but.. he's not a clean chef. He was nice enough to wipe down the counter where he left spots. But not nice enough to put dishes in the sink or clean up the pots and pans. :T
I know some houses do the "I cook, you do dishes" trade. But, I told him years ago it's not much of a fair trade because he uses 3X the number of dishes/utensils that I do.. and, it doesn't matter who cooks because the kids and I do the dishes 100% of the time.

I downed my coffee/chai and I'm still ready for a dang nap. =3= I got a basic check-up appt today. So I can't lean back and napnap.

★彡 @Wildfire: I miss living in a tropical country I'll be honest, since I was born on one then moved here. As for architecture I blame reddit for that (○゚ε゚○)

I joined a reddit thread called architecture porn and now I have high standards lmao. But I was thinking of Europe at first but climate wise, I guess it doesn't fit the idea as much. 彡★

@Koah: Yeah - exactly (the guys cooking / cleaning thing)... even if they clean up, they ALWAYS miss/overlook/ignore several pots/containers and tasks (wiping the stove or the counter, for example). It has been my biggest gripe since ... forever... but they.just.don't.SEE.it. How, I don't know, but they don't, and it annoys the hell out of me.

Same thing with the space... exactly. And once more, they don't seem to see/think/notice that they're bringing a mess in to the space that they enjoyed because it was clean and neat and comfy...

Guys, man... /eyeroll/ XD

@Another Movie Addict: Hey AMA. How are you?


@Purpsy: lol! Yeah, Europe has some amazing history and architecture but it's far from tropical... and the tropical cultures definitely have their own architecture that is amazing. I would LOVE to go tour South Asia for a while... the Philippines, Thailand, etc. ......... but I'd also love to go hang out in Europe for several months too. I would also love to see other parts of the world too, but politics and basic safety just don't make that worth even daydreaming about (of course, the same could be said of parts of Mexico, the Philippines, and even parts of Europe from what I understand).

★彡 @Wildfire: Yeah... Politics can hinder visiting some parts of the world. Like as a filipino, Philippines is a great place to visit if you want to visit something tropical surrounded with beautiful nature. But not all parts of the country are like that and you have a high chance of getting robbed. At least that's what I heard from other people. Is been years since I last visit there.

But there are others who will take that chance I guess. Just do some research first before visiting a country can help a bit of that I supposed.

And I'm hungry, my bum hurts for sitting down for awhile... 彡★

@Purpsy: Yes, that's what I've heard from friends/associates who have been there, or who come from there, as well. Of course, I think it's always a good idea to investigate where you're going before you get there - especially if there's a large cultural/language difference!


@Another Movie Addict: Good - I'm happy to hear it. I'm guessing that you've been pretty busy the last few days since we haven't heard from you. What have you been up to?

@Wildfire: Uhg! We struggle with the same thingggg! -flops-
The other night when I cleaned the kitchen, I watched my husband dump his work stuff on the empty tabletop and I must've looked at him with a murderous intent because he moved half of it on the floor. =_=

I went to an appointment today to get an ear infection checked out. But the doc thinks it might actually be stuffy allergy issues.

@Koah: exactly. I never seem to have anywhere to put things down... all the surfaces seem to have things on them. all.the.time. I don't get it (yet, there are a couple spots where this is my stuff, so I'm not entirely in the clear, but usually this is projects I'm mid-process on and it's more time/effort to clean it up and reset it later... assuming I don't have to re-find the space around somebody else's junk that has found its way to that surface in the meantime). So how long do the boxes and miscellaneous stuff stay on the floor at your house, if the stuff isn't cluttering up a table? There are boxes around here that I don't know if anyone knows what's in them (if anything - I've found a couple of them before). Ugh. It's enough to make me want to move to an all-women's compound or something XD

So good morning Happy Saturday.

I'm up a little early (7:30am lol) partly because I fell sleep super early, but I slept reasonably well. It's a little eerie outside ATM... there's that sense of impending something. It's light outside and overcast with gusty winds... which is what the forecast said to expect, but it was supposed to rain hard last night, and it didn't. I haven't checked the weather yet for an update to see what happened or what to expect weather-wise -- or to determine whether or not I'll need to scramble to cover my now-flowering and growing plants in the garden from a potential freeze (yes, really)... it's a strange start to the day. I'm not sure what the day has in store. Right now I'm just enjoying my coffee and the weird feeling that's in the air...

@Purpsy: good morning. Is there a particular reason why you fell asleep and woke so early... or were you just really tired like I was?
