Enough procrastinating I have GOT to get to WORK!! I’ve really got to do some packing!! I’ve only been whining about it since October. On one hand, June, which is supposed to be when we put this house in California on the market……… is fast approaching. On the other hand June is sooooo far away.  (Don’t you wish you could spend 15 minutes inside my head??) Either way, I did promise The Husband I would really work on packing this month while he is in Idaho painting and installing new doors. I am thinking of starting with closets and drawers. Right? Places that others won’t notice… right?? Or do I take pictures off the walls?? So that I can easily use the excuse “Excuse the mess; we’re moving” So, for those of you who have recently moved’ what would you do differently if you had to move now?? What do you pack first? What’s your best moving advice; besides don’t do it because it’s too hard!?!?! Final question…… will you come help? I’ll supply donuts AND coffee!!

Whine alert. When I have a bad run I go all out! I am hoping to get all the bad out, done, gone and clear within the first two weeks of 2018. Overnight Mom’s kitty took a turn for the worse. A trip to the vet. Decision made that Miss Kitty should join my Mom. Miss Kitty never did leave my Mom’s sweatshirt. Poor Miss Kitty was truly heartbroken. Animals really do feel pain and loss as deeply as we do. Rest In Peace, Miss Kitty. Let’s Ask Google To Swing Around Here Again Every so often I grab a giant digital dust rag and wander through PeanutButterAndWhine.com, polishing up my older posts like antique teacups at a yard sale. Updating old content isn’t just housekeeping, it’s pure SEO sparkle. Fresh keywords, tighter titles, faster images, better links. All the little tweaks that whisper sweet nothings to Google and say, “Hey… I’m still relevant.” Search engines love fresh bread, not stale crumbs. So I’m rewriting, refreshing, and straightening the shelves so you can find recipes, reviews, crafts, and giveaways faster than a squirrel spotting peanuts. 🐿️ While you’re visiting, check the sidebar for the current giveaway at👉 https://peanutbutterandwhine.com And since we’re…

This morning it really hit home how much time I have on my hands now.  Alice is in school until 2:30. Mom doesn’t need me anymore. I have the entire morning to……. ummm pack? That’s all??  Just pack?!  And clean?? I can’t do it.  I need the release that writing my blog posts gives me. It’s more like writing to my friends and telling you about my day. Today I am wondering where my energy will come from to start packing again?! I packed a little before Thanksgiving. Then the fires came way to close for comfort so we were in the ‘get ready to evacuate’ area so I hurriedly packed up irreplaceable items.  UGH! Not cleaned, dusted or carefully wrapped and boxes marked… just packed and in the truck. I’m so counting those as packed boxes though!! I didn’t unpack them I just put them in the pile to go to Idaho. Then Christmas came around and ya can’t pack during Christmas! Right?? Isn’t it illegal in some states??  Then Mom. Then Mom. Then Mom. Now it’s January, The Husband is headed back to Idaho and  I’m back to looking at overly stuffed closets. Bookshelves and knick-knacks. At this…

When I am bored and really don’t feel like writing I waste time interacting with Alexa. I interact with Alexa just see what she says.  I told her I was sick today (yes, STILL!!) she said “I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well, try a cup of tea or a nap. I hope you are feeling better soon” She has about a dozen nice things to say when you are sick…. isn’t she so sweet?! So, here are my top 10 things to ask Alexa. Alexa: Do you have any pets? Alexa: Do you have a boyfriend? Alexa: What are you wearing? Alexa: When is the end of the world? Alexa: Who’s your daddy? Alexa: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. Alexa: What is your quest? Alexa: What does the fox say? (So many different answers) Of course my two favorites are: Alexa: Your mother was a hamster Alexa: Beam me up What are your favorite things to ask or tell Alexa? Siri or Google?? And now……… I’m back to bed! Maybe one more………. what do you call a three humped camel?!?
