$50 Your Way Giveaway! October 2026
Hello! Welcome to my October $50 Your Way Giveaway!!
Anyone else get whiplash from how fast September sped by?!? Lately, time goes too dang fast! I sure wasn’t that way when I was in high school. You??
September, as usual, I have to check my phone to see what I did for the last 30 days besides zone out on Netflix scary movies! Do you have any scary recommendations??
Alice is in another play, I believe this is number 14. (Alice has absolutely found her niche!). If you are near Encinitas, California. I highly recommend going to The Theatre School North Coast REP.
For some of you who started with me back in 2009, you were here when we celebrated Alice’s birth…. well, HERE is what that tiny baby looks like now!! Of course she is easy to spot. She’s in red. Alice plays Scarlet in Clue
Can you believe this is what 15 (YES! FIFTEEN!) looks like?!
This is my absolute favorite picture!
Now for the real reason you are here.
Yes, I do copy and paste from here on in. What can I say, I’m basically I’m STILL lazy.

Kate Sarsfield
They call them ‘messages’ in Ireland as well!
Terri Quick
I didn’t do much today, just relaxed
l p
the day is going well. did a lot of heavy lifting the past couple of days so it’s back to doing those physiotherapy exercises. thankfully they gave me hard copies and URLs to all of them. hopefully things will be back to ‘normal’ (whatever that is!) soon. lots of garden work to do as yet. enjoy your day. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
Another day with no rain! I can hear the weeds growing. Time to bed everything down for the winter.
heather
It is chilly beans here this morning! We aleady have the wood stove going and need to haul wood today.
Michele Soyer
A rainy raw day no outside wandering around today! Treadmill, leftovers and vacuuming and dusting..laundry done…my book is waiting…
Shelly Peterson
Recovery from surgery is slow going. I got out today and spent time with my daughter and grandkids.
Kate Sarsfield
Slow is good, Shelly! Don’t want to be doing too much, too soon.
Terri Quick
I found an original Star Wars Ewok plushie from 1983 at a vintage toy store today
Kate Sarsfield
Hooray! Finally managed to get outside for the first time since last Thursday! Collected fallen twigs for kindling and got some weeding done.
heather

heather
We are pulling our hair out here at the moment. There was a vehicle accident down the road on Friday and it took down a telephone poll and all telephone lines. We found out today that we will not have telephone service again until next Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG that is seven days from the event! WTF????????????
Michele Soyer
Today mom passed away 21 years ago…I still everyday think of her, laugh at some of the things she said and did -she was the best – love her always
Kate Sarsfield
Love never dies xxx
Wanda B
Cool, crisp air this morning … quite refreshing on the skin. Smells so nice outside!!
Kate Sarsfield
It’s still very windy out there but I’m getting cabin fever from spending so long indoors. Might put on the high viz jacket & a bobble hat and go for a (very) short walk later.
Shelly Peterson
Today we has a Halloween party with the grandkids.
Terri Quick
I had a ladybug land on me yesterday so I’m getting a ladybug run too lol
heather
I have been busy getting the house warmed up this morning. I got most of my work done already this morning. I am going to be binge watching Taylor Sheridan’s newest show called The Madison.
Kate Sarsfield
Our clocks went forward last night so there’s no going back – winter’s on it’s way. The wind’s better but still bad enough to keep me & all the cats indoors for another day.
Michele Soyer
Had a wonderful time at the party last night – even sang a bit..lol no room to dance though…sitting here when i should be cooking lunch but bleh not in a cooking mood.. just might do Chinese food – my parents woud roll over if they knew I wasn’t making “Sunday” dinner…happy Sunday all!
Crystal Smith
Just had a wonderful breakfast on the deck and watched the birds flying over the Chippewa River here in Wisconisn. Thanks for the awesome giveaway, what fun! 🙂
Terri Quick
My Panda ring came in the mail today. It looks so cute on 💖🐼
Shannon Mitchell
Went to one of the kid’s soccer game this morning, then went shopping to Half Price Books and the Dollar Tree (they need to rename that place…everything was over $7 lol) now I’m at home deep cleaning some of the house.
heather
I had a bunch of running around to do today. I had to make a stop at the local library and while getting stuff out of my trunk I discovered that I had driven through a BUNCH of rusty screws on the asphalt I am still beyond pissed off as I have new tires. So far so good I kept checking the air level on my tires all day – I pray I didn’t get one in one of my tires fingers crossed.
Kate Sarsfield
The second storm in 3 days is brewing up out there – expected winds of up to 95 miles an hour!
Michele Soyer
Batten down the hatches and be safe Kate…stay inside…
Tamra Phelps
I just realized that lately the highlight of my day is just going to bed and reading and relaxing. Man, that seems sad, lol.
Terri Quick
I’m having a huge iced coffee. It’s been a blah day
Michele Soyer
All chores done, lunch sorted, lessons finished….now to relax after I treadmill then lunch, my book and maybe a movie called Brimstone ( referred to me)
Kate Sarsfield
My SAD lamp arrived yesterday – will keep you updated as to it’s effects … I already feel less stressed/frustrated/depressed since starting the Vitamin D supplement as prescribed by the Dr.
Tamra Phelps
Having one of those days. Not that it’s been truly horrible, just one of those days when it seems there are a dozen little things going wrong, you know?? Oh, wait, you thought you’d just toss something on the stove quickly–nope, you just dropped it and now you get to clean it up. Oh, oops, you dropped those papers, too. And hmm, looks like you forgot to make that appointment. Argh!!
Kate Sarsfield
Relax, chill and breathe … Shit happens and really, if you think about it, nothing prepared you for what you’ve been going through since, well actually since your Mom died. But, you’re a strong woman and have had to deal with and endure much worse things than a paper on the floor. It’s irritating, but in the long run, when you look back, it’s just a poop (or whatever you say when things don’t go your way!).
Terri Quick
Just relaxing at home
l p
the day is going well. up early to do some shopping then get organised for the birthday party. enjoy your day. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
The flipping car didn’t pass – a worn shock absorber – booked in with mechanic to get it fixed then a re-test (=more money). Storm Austen due tonight & Friday so I’m charging the phone & laptop just in case we lose power.
Tamra Phelps
Do you have to have your car pass this test every year???? Geeze, nobody here would be driving, lol. Everybody has something wrong with their car!
Kate Sarsfield
Yup! Every damn year. Newer cars get checked less, but once it’s over 10 years, then every year & mine’s 20 next year. I’ve been looking at cars lately that I could afford thanks to my pension lump sum, but I’m still not convinced I’d fare any better, in fact, on my way back from the North, I got stopped by Gardaí (police, pronounced Gard E.) and he was more interested in the car than in me! Apparently his mother-in-law owns one and it’s 30 years old!
heather
We are getting some much needed rain at the moment. Hope everyone has a nice day.
Michele Soyer
All these lovely fall days enjoying them ..have a pot of soup on and some homemade tuscan bread out of the freezer to thaw.. groceries will be delivered this morning so I better get to making sure the pantry is organized as well as the frig!
Tamra Phelps
Earlier today I was thinking about my granny’s potato soup! Wish she was here to still make it!
Terri Quick
Just another day here in NY lol
l p
the day is going well. had a couple of appointments earlier. made some brownies for tomorrow’s birthday party. cleaning up the kitchen, yet again. enjoy your day. thanks
heather
Working at home today. The sunrise this morning was next level beautiful.
Kate Sarsfield
A bit of a lazy day today as I have to go out this evening to take the car for it’s annual check-over. Made a gorgeous ‘Indian’ spicy casserole last night so can just heat it up when I get back around 8pm.
Michele Soyer
Leaving shortly for a shopping day with my galpal Asian Market, Costco. grocery and wine shoppe – maybe lunch out also! Still trying to get back on X but their algorithm claims I have not followed their strict rules – what a joke people post the most awful racist hateful posts and they are not suspended permanently but I am lol
Shelly Peterson
Still taking it easy after my surgery. Hoping to get this last JP drain removed soon.
Tamra Phelps
Kate, I sympathize with the aching hands. For me it’s the med I take for the breast cancer. It causes small bone pain, and for me it hits in the hands. It’s like arthritis times 10 when it hits and add that to nerve damage from the sepsis–so yeah pain plus numbness, lol. Very weird.
Kate Sarsfield
Ouch xxx
Terri Quick
I hope everyone is having a great week so far
Shannon Mitchell
Just got home from a long weekend in Branson, I’m so tired.
l p
the day is going well. volunteering this morning then a deep clean of the kitchen after yesteday’s baking. enjoy your day. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
Finally planted the rest of the daffodils, pulled up weeds and was generally busy in the garden. The first storm of the season hits on Thursday/Friday 🙁
Michele Soyer
Warm this morning so after a quick vacuum off for a walk around the neighborhood….missing my Jersey friends today so after lunch some calls!
Terri Quick
I’m just relaxing this weekend
heather
We are getting some clouds today and it is super dark out here. I think we have every light in the house on right now.
l p
the day is going well. lots to do. it’s the usual baking day and things are right on schedule. a young person is coming over later this afternoon to learn how to make carrot cake and cream cheese icing. stay warm if needsbe, keep moving. enjoy your day. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
Raynaud’s & arthritis is a weird combination! Half my hand’s completely numb & the rest hurts like hell! Fingerless gloves are on from now till April/May next year. Anyway, enough moaning, another day of gardening lies ahead before the weather changes on Thursday.
Michele Soyer
Up and moving early to make up for being blinking lazy this weekend…Finished laundry, vacuuming and went outside ( brrrr) and swept both patios…when i took up the recycles I saw that the carpeting in the hallways looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in weeks ( maybe the woman who cleans here is on vaca or ill – she does an amazing job) so took the shop vac up and did the hallways, now it looks much better.. leftovers for lunch so I do not have to cook – the cats are looking at me to sit so they can cuddle up…one loves to sit by the heat in the drawing room..lol have a great day everyone! and Tamra and you Kate please stay warm!
Tamra Phelps
Kate, I agree. I try to put off turning on the heat as long as possible because I don’t need those heating bills! It has been cold at night, but I can add a balanket, no big deal. And during the day, it’s been in the 60s, so no big deal.
Terri Quick
My dogs are crazy today. Is it a full moon!? Lol
l p
the day is going well. volunteering this morning and stayed longer to help out. doing some baking for a birthday party later in the week. so far, the evening looks relatively quiet. enjoy your day. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
Freezing by night but dry and sunny by day! Trying to put off heating the house for as long as I can, it’s so bloody expensive. Spent the day working in the garden. Definitely bobble hat weather!
heather
Just got in the door from a trip to the grocery store. I had to go to two different stores to get everything that I needed and I saw two women in there wearing their pajamas! I am so happy that I manage to get dressed when I get out of bed in the morning. lol
Michele Soyer
Very cool sunny Sunday – I should get up and dressed and take an uber to mass but that is what utube is for….have no desire to go out at all…this is a stay in my jammies all day Sunday! Roast in the oven and wine chilling… since it is colder I think a single malt later would be perfect.. always ready to pour 2 more Kate and Tamra!
Shelly Peterson
Went to dinner for my sons birthday.
Tamra Phelps
It has definitely gotten cold here. Our first freeze is due to hit tonight. Well, at least the 90 degree temps are finally done, hopefully. I’m not really doing too bad. still recovering from my last bout with my edema/inflammation issues–but doing better.
Michele Soyer
We got our first freeze Friday night! It is getting colder by the day but the sun is out and the air is so fresh and clean…Glad you are feeling a bit better…
Kate Sarsfield
We’ve had hard frosts for the last couple of nights but lovely by day. Glad you’re doing better xx
Terri Quick
I’m watching a wrestling ppv tonight
Kate Sarsfield
I had a lovely day today! It’s been one of those freezing cold sunny days that make your nose turn pink. Got a load of laundry done, then a couple of hours working in the garden. Much more to do tomorrow once the frost melts.
Michele Soyer
Beautiful sunny day but quite a bit of a chill 30 degrees…feels like a “me” day reading, music and aside from burgers and veggie burgerd for lunch nothing pending to do…I have decided to stop calling the volunteer supervisors… if they want and or need me they can call me…I need a schedule to arrange transport – I truly miss driving…since all my eye surgeries even though I can see it is not enough confidence to get behind the wheel…
heather
Good morning to everyone out there. I just day a mama doe walk by the window with her beautiful fawn made my heart smile.
Terri Quick
I’m just streaming stuff & entering contests
heather
Happy Friday to everyone out there. I am baking a ham tonight with mashed potatoes and broccoli.
Kate Sarsfield
Another busy morning: dropped the car to the mechanic (again), had my hair cut & checked out a charity shop while I was waiting. Got a gorgeous Italian Autumn/Winter dress for a couple of Euro! Delighted! It’s long with pockets & not only is comfortable but suits my shape too!
l p
the day is going well. lots to do and the ‘reward’ is dinner with friends. enjoy your day. thanks
Michele Soyer
Have no idea why I am so happy today and grateful of course…danced around the drawing room until I realized I better get going with lunch…some lovely salmon filets….really cool out there the heat actually turned on! winter is coming…later today my friend and I out for drinks and cafe whatever depending on the time…how amazing it is all of it!
Denise C
I am retiring at the end of the month. I have 2 weeks left! I have so much I want to get done before I go. I haven’t been this busy in a long time.
Denise C
I live in Southern California
Terri Quick
I started watching the new Crystal Lake series today
Kate Sarsfield
In town early for a doctor’s appt. – 2 hours waiting 🙁 Not his fault, a patient had to have an ambulance called, but still … I’m an impatient cow at the best of times! My Vit. D is low (despite taking branded Vits. every day, so he’s prescribed a supplement for me, and I got my flu’ & Covid shots. Then off to the Animal Hospital to pick up spot-on wormer for all 4 cats. Found tapeworm segments on my bed the other day – yuck!
heather
I need to make a trip to the library this morning. Doing laundry at the moment.
Michele Soyer
Party preparations underway for next Saturday – I believe there will be a good turnout..
Waiting for my grocery delivery, my usual delivery fella is on vaca so with the new driver I am last – dead list for delivery..lol so instead of a 9 am delivery I am now a 1-1:30 delivery…what can you do?? weather is changing today getting cold and rainy!
Terri Quick

l p
the day is going well. just home from several appointments. out to do some volunteering this evening. enjoy your day. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
What a day! The first really bad weather of the season. High winds, torrential rain and, of course, I had to go out in it to deliver a load of cat & kitten food to the rescue centre. Popped into PJ the mechanic on the way home: I can’t open the boot (trunk). The lock has seized & it won’t pass it’s annual check up in that state. Booked in for Friday 11ish.
Michele Soyer
One of my neighbor / gal pals is retirementing!!! yeah!! So a party is loomimg….have to start planning….love a good party!!!
Kate Sarsfield
Lord, there’s no stopping you, is there? Enjoy xxx
Michele Soyer
I must be Irish! I love a good party with plenty of food, drinks and music….my relatives would baulk at me saying we Hungarians don’t love parties we do! There was always a woman – yes a woman who would get a bit tipsey get up sing like Ethel Merman loud and brassy and really , for me, make the night! she also always wore a sequined red or purple dress – I have no idea who she was related to but she was at ALL the parties…I remember my mother was appalled but my dad loved her, laughed and clapped and seriously wanted encores! those were the nights he would take my hand and we would cardas and polka mazurka around the floor. Kate these parties were always held in a relatives bar….he reserved the waltz for my mom…..memories memories memories….
Kate Sarsfield
Wonderful to have such lovely memories xxx
heather

Kate Sarsfield
First attack of Raynaud’s this Autumn – knew it was colder. Managed to give my car a good vaccuuming ready for it’s annual test next week.
heather
Just got home from a trip to my favorite deli which they pretty much ruined and they raised the prices on all of their deli meats again! I thought I was going to scream when I saw the new prices per pound! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Michele Soyer
Back to cooler temps today so went out and swept both patios this morning – with all the leaves falling it is a daily chore now…have no desire to get dressed to go out for a walk so the treadmill it is today!
Terri Quick
I’m just streaming movies & entering contests lol
Kate Sarsfield
Hurrah! Temperature’s been normal for 48hrs now and am feeling almost well, just very tired. Leant the meaning of ‘to a T’ today: from the word tittle, meaning a small mark in printing, like the dot over i & j.
heather
It has been super chilly here for the past two days. We have the wood stove going at the moment.
Michele Soyer
70 degrees this morning! Took a walk to the shopping plaza and back to enjoy the warm air….waiitng to hear once again from the volunteer supervisor all appointments made and transport organized for the people on my list…maybe the food bank needs me??? tonight drinks with my friend…

Terri Quick
I watched a new movie called Other Mommy
Tamra Phelps
Dreary rainy day–getting the leftovers of Hurricane Isaias here in KY. Feeling a little better as far as the edema and inflammation issues but also edgy because of the steroid. So…it’s a trade-off.
SimplySherriUSA
👋 from the Seattle area! Enjoying no rain today and being able to clean up the first batch of leaves. It’s a long and messy job.
heather
Just got in the door from a trip to the store. I am relaxing for the rest of the day it has been a busy weekend so far.
Kate Sarsfield
Bit better than yesterday so managed the cat litter boxes, cat bowls and cooked a meal for myself. Hoping to get outside into the garden tomorrow to tidy up a bit after the recent high winds. We’ll see!
Michele Soyer

heather
I woke up to computer issues but I am not going to let it ruin my day! Ahhh how did we survive without these things in our lives years ago.
Michele Soyer
Going to be in the upper 80’s today – if mom was still with us she would call this pneumonia weather.. cool then too hot rinse repeat..lol…laundry done, vacuuming done have to go out and feed the birds and bunnies then my day is my own….no cooking today subs but i will bake some dessert for this evening…happy weekend all.
Kate Sarsfield
Still in bed at 1pm, trying to get the energy together to get up, get washed & dressed and head to the pharmacy.
Shelly Peterson
Today was another miserable day at dialysis. I left 15 minutes early, which I never do. Happy weekend!
Tamra Phelps
Connie, for my money nothing is scarier than Hitchcock’s The Birds. That movie always creeps me out–I grew up in an area of KY where the birds fly South every year and roost for days. Birds in trees everywhere–you would hear them every morning, when it was still half dark and you were waiting for the school bus. Thousands of them in the trees. Yikes. Hitchcock was so scary because it felt like his scenes could actually happen in real life.
Terri Quick
I watched a new movie called Verity. It kind of reminded me of a Lifetime movie lol
Kate Sarsfield
Feeling a bit better, well, enough to sort out the litter trays & food bowls! Have to go into town tomorrow to collect my usual meds buts that’s all I’m doing. Haven’t eaten since Wed. but am drinking water.
heather
I just got home from a trip to Costco it was cray cray in there today! I didn’t find any good deal either two steaks were $60.00 I didn’t buy them I was in shock over the price! I did however, buy the deli meatloaf and mashed potatoes going to steam some broccoli and bam dinner is done! Have a great Friday out there and remember do something kind for yourself today.
l p
the day is going well. today is finalising putting the garden to bed. I’m so glad I have a small garden so I have lots of produce put away for the winter. enjoy your day. thanks
Gentry Bell
Looking for some good television series to start as we head into fall/winter

Darla
Confused as to why the entries aren’t adding up into the total entry count. It makes me not want to put in any extra efforts if it doesn’t count. Is this form broken, what’s happening??!
Tamra Phelps
The steroids seem to be helping the edema. Of course, that means the fluid has to go somewhere–I’ve been living close to the bathroom for a few days now, lol.
Terri Quick
I’m almost finished watching the Carrie tv series
l p
the day is going well. out early to do some shopping and then did some cooking and deliver it to a friend. the day certainly seems to go quickly. enjoy your day. thanks
heather
I just read your caregiver post about the eye massager and I am so getting one of those. Thank you for also sharing the great tips. I need to remember all of those and also to take time for myself once in a while. Humor is so helpful and it’s important to laugh as much as you can. Have a nice day out there.
Kate Sarsfield
I’ve spent a couple of days in bed feeling miserable. I’m still shivering/sweating but beginning to feel a bit better.
Tamra Phelps
I was wondering where you were! Glad you’re feeling a bit better.
Shelly Peterson
Today was a miserable day at dialysis.
Terri Quick
I had to walk to Dollar General hor a few things now my legs hurt lol
Tamra Phelps
Well, finally some answers from the doctor. It looks like most of my chronic issues might be relateed to an autoimmune problem. It first started to look like the answer when I temporarily took steroids for a pain issue–and during that 2 weeks all my other issues started to clear up! Yep. Turns out tests showed my inflammatory markers are way elevated. So, on a low dose of steroids to see how it helps.
Kate Sarsfield
Excellent news! Onwards & upwards.
heather
Just got home from running a bunch of errands. I am trying to beat the heat gonna be 95 degrees here today.

I just got in the door from going my BIG grocery shopping and I am worn out! I had to go to two different stores to get what I needed and I had to bag all my stuff and then schlep it all out to the car and then allllllllll in to the house – wears me out!

I was kept awake by cats wanting in/out. Wish they’d make their minds up, dammit! Made a fettucinni casserole type thing with Quorn ‘chicken’ pieces. Loads of chilli. Very yummy and will last me a couple of days.

Hope everyone is having a mellow Sunday out there. I am binge watching Landman Season 3 today.

A great day yesterday at the largest candy store in Mn.. went last year a bit later so most of the Christmas lovlies were gone.. not this year got all the candy for the holidays and they also have flavored maple syrup and big jars of honey… then on to the apple orchard farm and bought pecks of apples for sauce, butter and desserts + enjoying!
last stop lunch at the local bar and grill…got home washed al the apples and today it is applesauce making time!
Kate Sarsfield
Are you freezing of bottling them? Wish I had a bigger freezer for harvest bonanzas like that! Now I’m humming the theme tune from Bonanza!
Michele Soyer
I bottled them all..plenty of cinnamon applesauce for the rest of the year + I made some apple pie filling and put that up also….

Kate, maybe I need to look for a SAD lamp, too. I get so down when it gets dark at 5, lol. Been a little under the weather lately, but have a doctor’s appt Monday that I hope might really help to figure things out. at least I feel hopeful there might be an answer for all these issues.
Kate Sarsfield
Look, at this time in my life, I’m ready to try anything which proclaims to keep me stable(ish).

Temperature was nice so I went out today. I found a really cute Halloween outfit, skeleton top with some Halloween printed pants, really cute for $5.
Kate Sarsfield
My temperature went up a bit last night but it’s back to normal again. Mowed the lawn & did a bit of weeding. It’s getting cold at night now and dark by 18.30 🙁 Ordered a SAD lamp for myself; my sister’s had one for a couple of years & swears by them to keep her mood up. The only alternative is hibernation and that’s not a realistic option, unfortunately!
Connie: The Head Peanut
I have one. It’s amazing! It truly does help.
heather
Just got home from a trip to the local library it sure was a busy place today. Now I am doing laundry and I am already missing a sock!
Terri Quick

Live in the wonderful state of Minnesota!! Well the hockey season has begun and the opening game is a home game so my friend has already said we are going!! Ok well a very cool day today so dressed for a walk and plans for going out to the apple orchard store tomorrow!
Kate Sarsfield
Hooray! My temperature’s down to normal and the rain has stopped so I’m gathering all my dirty laundry together to go get it washed. Really miss not having a washing machine, but first I’d have to get the plumbing sorted and that’s proving impossible. Might get some icecream, fancy a little treat for myself!

OMG! Alice is so grown-up! She was about two, I think when I first arrived here. If time has done that to her, what the hell’s it done to me?
Connie: The Head Peanut
Can you believe that is WHAT 15 looks like now?!?!?!? Holy Moly!

haven’t some tooth pain, so could be better right now
Connie: The Head Peanut
Try Sensodyne Toothpaste! I swear by it.

Shallow Grave is about the only scary movie I’ve watched multiple times; it’s a thriller from the Trainspotting producers with a very young Ewan McGregor. Lots of banter in kind of a Hitchcock way (but yeah, I did have to look away a few times). The original movie version of What We Do In The Shadows is still my favorite, even though the TV series was great, too. The original silent Nosferatu is kinda cool, and very short. I’m stressing out today because I have to make doctor and lab appointments for my mom, the visiting nurse is coming later, and my brother is pestering me about various things.
