$50 Your Way GIVEAWAY March 2023!

Happy March Little Peanuts!! If you are new here WELCOME!! You will find that this is an amazing group of people. The Peanuts (that’s you now!) are supportive and caring! I’m your Head Peanut Connie.  This is a monthly giveaway. I always start with a brief blurb about my past month. Sometimes I have a TON to say. Sometimes I’m pretty boring.

I live on top of a mountain in Sandpoint Idaho. I have a craft room that I never in my wildest imagination thought I would own. I swear it’s bigger than my 1st apartment!  The 2 sets of double doors look out at Lake Ponderay and it’s a STUNNING view!!  Not only am I blessed with this room and this view. I have deer that lick the door when it’s time for their corn ration of the day!! Wild turkeys, bears, and moose too. But they don’t lick the door.

This month I’m working on sublimating more craft items for the craft fair. (TALK about branching out of my comfort zone!) I had several custom orders. One from Granddaughter Olivia that came out so cute. She wanted a pink daisy tumbler. Next was key chains for daughter Selena’s new dog walking customers.

I love my craft room. I would spend every single day and night here if The Husband didn’t need feeding, watering, and attention.  (insert a big cheesy grin here!)

So, February went by so fast. I can’t believe it’s giveaway time again! But, here we are!

    We didn’t get to grill because of the crazy weather we are having but my boyfriend’s surgery seems to have gone well.

  • gloria patterson

    My day started out OK I was starting to feel a little better.

    Around 11 I get a call from my nother (93) she fell. So I rushed to her apartment (I have keys) she was NOT really hurt. She fell thursday morning/afternoon and she tried to get up but couldn’t so she was on the floor all day/night and finally got to the phone to call me. I called 911 and they send a car took her to the emergency room. Knowing ER’s test etc I didn’t call till 4 pm. Nothing broken everything looks ok but waiting on the dr. Nurse I think they will go ahead and keep her over night.

    I cleaned up her place washed all the blankets that she used.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Well, it started out a normal day. Then I found out my brother has covid so he didn’t get to go with his family to see his oldest son play baseball in Florida. My step-mother’s youngest sister died. And I have to have another mammogram on one breast because they want to look closer at calcification (which is almost always nothing but still I have to do it again.) Blech day here.

  • heather

    It has been a busy day, I was up at 5:00 am and did chores then ran to town to get more stuff done. I’m trying to keep busy after losing my beloved cat this week.

  • Laura DeLaRosa

    My day is ok. It was seven years ago yesterday that my brother passed. It was a difficult day. He was only 41 years old. I think of him every day.

  • clynsg

    It was supposed to be a quiet day, but found myself with a hyperactive (but lovable) grandson instead. Good thing he likes LEGOs. No school today, grandmother supposed to have him found herself going to support a friend for court hearing to get custody of HER granddaughter! Best laid plans!!

  • Shannon Victoria Holmes

    Just waiting to hear from my boyfriend who had arm surgery today to see how it went. Otherwise today is a great day, we are going to grill later tonight and that is always fun.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Still coughing up green gloop (sorry!) but better out than in! Today’s highlight: expecting delivery of vaccum cleaner dust bags.

  • gloria patterson

    Have not had a cold in years…………….. BUT this one has kicked my ass. Coughing, nose blowing, hurt all over. Had to add a long cord on to my oxgen needed to wear it all today. Have had several naps. Fingers crossed that I get bettter

  • heather

  • gloria patterson

    Great niece spend the day with me saturday and she had a cold. Finally it hit me last night runny nose, coughs etc. I have Dr apointment later today (general yealy inspection to get my preescriptions) going to have him give me a couple of steriod prescriptions. I have COPD and don’t want it to get in to my lings.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Slowly beginning to feel better. These chesty colds are rife in Ireland at the moment, hospitals packed with cases etc. My sis has it too & had a panic attack when she couldn’t stop coughing so her anxiety is triggering asthma, which is worsening the anxiety… Anyhow, the weather’s turned wet, cold & windy so I’m not going anywhere today.

  • gloria patterson

    Ran some errands for my 93 yr old mother. I think I am coming down with a cold don’t feel bad but don’t fell good

  • Laura DeLaRosa

    It’s an ok day today, a bit chilly in here. I’m arguing with myself about turning on the heat. I also desperately need a nap.

  • Laura DeLaRosa

    It’s an ok day today. It’s a bit chilly in here, and I’m arguing with myself about turning on the heat. I also desperately need a nap. Zzzzzzzz

    I had a visit from my niece today. She’s in college, studying to be a teacher (elementary age kids)–and she has a 4.0 average, so she’s doing well. She seems very happy, so that cheers me up, lol.

  • heather

WIDE awake at 5 am so got up dressed etc and got my laundery together. All done and put away by 8 am Had some chicken breast so stuck those in the oven.

  • gloria patterson

    Great niece 6 spend the day with me. Mommy dropped her about 8 am We finger painted , then to dollar tree. Told her she could pick out 10 items last time she had trouble picking out her 10 items not this time. Several things she looked at and picked I told her they could go in my basket educational. Spent $24 Then off to IHOP for late breakfast… 2 dippie eggs, 4 slices of butter toast with crust torn off and about 1/4 of a small pancake.

    Then to Walmart she looked at a lot of big $ items and I said NO when it was her birthday we would go shopping and she could pick out what she wanted.

    They were selling girl scouts cookies outside walmart so we bought 2 boxes.

    Then home to go through play with everything she picked out. Mommy picked her up at 4

    Mommy / daddy always tell her to BE GOOD when they leave her. And I tell them she is always good.

    • Tamra Phelps

  • Shannon Victoria Holmes

  • heather

    My day has been a busy one just got in the door had to run to town to get some emergency ear wax remover hope this one works.

  • gloria patterson

    Busy morning draging really thinking about taking a long nap

    8 AM I was in the Dr office getting steriod shots in my right wrist and right knee. He did them in differrent spots and they hurt for all of 4 seconds. I watch him till he is ready to put the needle in and I turn my head. Not afraid of shots just don’t want to watch them stick a needle in me. He adds a numbing agent in the shot so those place feel ok. The shots last me for 3 months.

    Then to krogers, poring down rain so I didn’t get a lot. Then on to COMCAST they changed overnight ALL of the channel numbers. So I picked up copies of the new channel # for me and my mother.

    Then I had to explain it all to my mother………………… at 94 it is a job getting her to understand

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Had my ECG & seems not to be too bad. I’ve always had a ‘blip’ & so did Mum so I wasn’t too worried. Steroids have kicked in & I’m itching to get busy, busy, busy but mustn’t if I know what’s good for me. Mentioned to the Doc that both Dad & my sis had/have to have B12 injections so if my levels don’t improve after a month of supplements he may recommend jabs for me. Going for a lie down now otherwise I’ll start doing something vigorous!

  • Polly Hall

    I’ve been working on plans for the family reunion I am host this summer, had to help another cousin book a VRBO, I ended up renting it myself for her.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Went to the Doc: I have a lung infection, my B12 is low and I have to go back tomorrow for an ECG as I have an irregular heartbeat. On steroids, antibiotics & supplements (:

    • Tamra Phelps

      Oh, mercy. Well, I’m going to think good thoughts: it’s good that you know and are being treated!! Slow down a little and get well. That’s what really matters the most.

  • heather

    I was watching the episode titled TENNESSEE BOUND from I Love Lucy and in the credits the announcer mentions Aaron Spelling as the gas station attendant. I did not realize that was him! For those that don’t know, Aaron Spelling was a successful film and TV producer.

  • gloria patterson

    I am in the mood to get rid of stuff. I will pull open a drawer do a fast go through and pull out stuff. Some of it I am trashing but other stuff I am putting in the giveaway pile.

    Have found that sometimes just the little changes make a different.

  • Laura DeLaRosa

    I woke up to a cold apartment this morning. It was 65 degrees in here! Yikes! I turned on the heat to 74 degrees and it is just barely taking the chill out the air. Had a couple of corn dogs for an early breakfast. (Listening to My Immortal by Evanescence)

  • Tamra Phelps

    Went to the grocery earlier today and just about froze. I mean, it is freezing out there now that March is here, lol.

  • heather

    They said on the local weather to expect some rain today – instead we in the middle of a major BLIZZARD!!! I am just shaking my head who knows how long we will be snowed in.

  • gloria patterson

    It was 24 this morning at 7 am and spitting snow. Accidents they closed the insterstate tractor trailer wreck.

    Car appointment 10 AM with the weather I better call AAA by 8:45 am. Good thing I did they did not arrive 9:35am. Lucked out it was the guy that has been jumping me & replacing batteries for the past 14 months. So a least he knew most of the story so just added a few things.

    Pulled up left the car running key in it since it had only been running for less then 15 minutes. Told them again problem and they remembered. I was set for a wait. Now you know you get cold when you wait in the repair shop. I had a large HOT HANDS packet I opened. Had bottle of water, and pretzels if I got hungry. Sat there on my phone 20 or so minutes the guy came in……

    Gloria your car is ready. I just looked at him with my mouth open and said MY CAR?? Come on out and I will explain

    Long story short version – That NEW battery (Jan 10) they put in was DEFECTIVE! They have had a few problems with that battery. So I have another NEW BATTERY!

    So I still don’t if there is a problem in my car or if it has been the batteries all a long!!

    I told my niece I think I am becoming a CAR HYPOCHONDRIAC

  • Kate Sarsfield

  • Kate

    My Monday was going great and I had big plans for today… and then it started snowing and sleeting. That means I’ll be stuck inside today but that’s okay because I’ll be making plans for a party with my daughter. Should be fun deciding on the menu with her. The good thing is that spring is soooo close! 🙂

  • Tamra Phelps

    It seems like everyone is feeling puny today. Even my brother has gone to bed with some kind of sinus thing. And I feel sort of blech too. I think we all have one of those colds you get when the weather changes–and our weather is changing back and forth every day!

  • gloria patterson

    I though I was feeling better so last night about 9 I loaded my wheeled laundry cart and downstairs to do laundry. It takes me 1.5 hr to wash/dry/fold and place in my cart. Then when I get back unload, put away, hang up was done by 10:30. Was asleep again by midnight.. Awake at 7 shower etc. Time I was dressed I was exhausted. Recliner her I come, I woke up at 2. I am so tired even a energy drink didn/t help. But I am making myself move around and do simple things. Tomorrow will be better!!!

    It’s been a busy morning for me getting everything put away outside ahead of the 70 mph winds that we will be getting this afternoon that should be a lot of fun!

    Had great niece (6) last night from 4:30 – almost 9. We finger painted on paper, used water color paints on a canvas, painted a white ceramic pc that was rainbow and clouds. She does so much better ever time we work together. I finally have her decideing what size brush to use based on what she is painting. She ate mac & cheese and pears and later hot dog, FF, potato chips and LOTS of ketchup. and she loves whip cream out of the can so we had it several times. Always tired when she leaves but ready for her to come back.

    SO today NOT doing much of anything!!

  • Kate Sarsfield

    SNOW!!! Granted only a tiny bit and it’s turned to sleet now. I woke at 8am, breakfasted, emails, went back to bed to stay warm at 10 and woke at 4pm.

  • Tamra Phelps

    Had to go to physical therapy today, so I’m tired, lol. Other than that, it’s been a slow day, and we are back to Winter here in KY.

  • heather

  • Shannon Victoria Holmes

    Hello! I was up this morning cleaning. I also made breakfast and lunch, so I have been pretty productive.

  • Michele Soyer

    Today I plan on going through the closets and making decisions on what to take to the thrift shop…so many dresses that are good quality that are just too big now…my neighbor is a seamstress. so thinking about having them altered..need more coffee to make that decision!

    • gloria patterson

      Do you like those dresses that you are thinking about getting altered? If not get rid of and pick out some new that you really like,.

      • Michele Soyer

        Gloria they are classics – “little black” dresses and some traditional Asian cocktail dresses – I could never afford them now – going to see how much she would charge me…I did bring some outfits to the thrift yesterday..

  • Laura DeLaRosa

    My day is starting out ok. I woke up with a bit of a runny nose, but after a few minutes it has cleared up. Ever since I had Covid in December 2021 (asymptomatic) I’ve had a problem with a runny nose. I’m glad that seems to be my only side effect. (Listening to Last Dance by Donna Summer)

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Heading out to the house in a bit – time to scrub another ceiling & paint another coat on the bathroom ceiling.

  • GLORIA PATTERSON

    My niece is a beautian and she offers haircuts ( $20.) one day a month from 9:30 – 12:30 in my senior building. She is starting to get people to come down. Today she had 7 people which is very good. And even have a few that want her to come to their apartments to cut some people that cannot get out. So I went down to visit with her for a little bit and got to see my great niece little cousin who was spending the day with her aunt. Told her to come visit I had a minnie chair of zays to give her. They did it was nice to have a little toddler running around.

    Then my mother had some legal stuff she needed to do so ran her around and got all that taken care of…………………….. ONLY PROBLEM IS I DID NOT GET MY NAP TODAY LOL

  • heather

    It has been a busy day for me so far and I was up at 3:45 am so I am tired tired tired. I should sleep like a little baby tonight that’s for sure!

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Day off today as Viktor has English classes and the sun’s shining so going for a walk to loosen up my hip a bit. Then I’ll wash the car.

  • Laura DeLaRosa

    I’ve had a bit of a late start on my contests this morning, didn’t start until around 5:00 this morning. I am a cat-napper throughout the day, an hour here, a couple hours there. I’ve been this way for years and it works for me. (Listening to Send Her My Love by Journey)

  • Michele Soyer

    Got everything done yesterday in record time – the energy of todays full moon was obvious yesterday – people were agitated and for me that is an indication of move quickly and get home…
    Decided to change some tile in the bathroom that looks like it is about to lift so tomorrow back out again to purchase some tile and have our handyman come on the w/e to install…
    Once again full moon today with the added energy of Saturn moving from air element Aquarius to watery Pisces….once again change is upon on – the very positive thinag about saturn is that whatever change he makes in your life slow, deliberate and hard working is long lasting ……

  • Tamra Phelps

    Nice sunny day today, about 70 out there. But snow is on the way, lol. Geeze. The weather is making me crazy.

  • GLORIA PATTERSON

  • heather

    My day is goin so so we are getting more snow right now and I am a little tired of it. Hope you are have a nice Monday.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Went on my own to the house & worked inside as it’s cold & drizzly. Did the 1st coat of the bathroom ceiling with anti-mould paint – looks better already – and scrubbed down one wall in the hall. Met the gas man, Willie. He’s cut the bill down a bit & will include 1000L of gas as well so I’ve told him to go ahead. I’ll worry about re-wiring another time. Sooner the pipes are down, the sooner the floors can get finished and the sooner I can get the furniture out of storage.

  • GLORIA PATTERSON

    Just a day of doing nothing, but I was busy all day…………..

    Got everthing to make steak hoagies, made 2 of them. The buns were about the length of your hand. Steak-ums, oinions, roasted peppers, roasted tomatoes, cheese. Fixed them and rolled in foil and warmed buns and all for 20 minutes. Ate one the other in the refrig for tomorrow………….. it was so so good.

  • Tamra Phelps

    I cooked a pork loin, did some cleaning and now I’m eating chocolate, lol. I mean, you can’t be good all day, right??

  • heather

    Cabin Fever is setting in for me we are getting more snow right now and I am a little tired of it. The list is getting longer of the things that I need from the grocery store hope the weather breaks soon.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Very worried about running out of money … to avail of any grants I need to be living in the house so heating & hot water are essential but so is electricity … I’m going to try to not think about it today as it’s beautifully sunny but cold so heading for a walk in the park.

    • Tamra Phelps

      Don’t let yourself get too worried. I’m a firm believer that things do work out as they are meant to be–it will all be alright!! You will get what you need when you need it most. The universe is on your side!

  • Michele Soyer

    Yesterday was a total phone day..and I hate that! Trying to sort out all the rules, regulations and whatnot associated with bringing the cats to Greece…Our vet will do the chips other vaccines needed and the certificate of good health – then we need to take those to the Ministry of Agriculature and Ministry of Health to have them stamped officially – here is always a miasma of red tape – but I know now what needs to be done – the fees associated and the offices I must go to – a day at least for that..
    Rang KLM and found out their fees and rules for onboard cats – also their routes later in the year – POS to Amsterdam direct ( yeah) then transfer to Aegean to Corfu by way of Athens…
    I think I did all needed to know at this point….
    By the grace by the 15th we should have the valuation then put the property up ….
    Today making lists for shopping tomorrow – grocery, hardware, feed and grain, chemist, post box and vegetable man….and the lottery agent! One can only hope and dream… Happy Sunday all….

  • Shannon Victoria Holmes

    I went to see my mom and she loved her blackberry lemon cake. Besides that I made a great dinner.

      • Michele Soyer

        I have to.. I will not leave here w/o that being done..I do not trust leaving anything behind – the idea of not handling business here before I go would keep me up at night…places are what they are….

  • Tamra Phelps

    Yesterday we had the most bizarre weather. hurricane force winds in KY. It knocked down a tree behind the apartments here and that fell onto a live wire–fortunately my brother saw it and called the fire department and they got here before the tree went up and set a fire. Other trees did start fires around town. Absolutely nuts!

  • GLORIA PATTERSON

    I slept in till 8AM Worked in my craft room (corner in my bedroom ) and cleaned and moved stuff around. Great niece is going to be lost trying to find stuff

    LONG nap………. now have a frozen pizza in the oven

  • heather

    Well, we are getting another new round of snow today and it will continue for several more days and my kitty is not getting better.

  • Kate Sarsfield

    Finally got my quotes together for replacing the gas boiler, radiators etc. cheapest is €5k – eek! Meeting the guy on Monday, maybe I can get it down a bit otherwise I’ll be really scrimping from here on and I’ve still got the electricity rewiring to do.

  • Shannon Victoria Holmes

    Today I made some seitan fajitas and made a blackberry lemon cake for my mom who I am going to go see tomorrow.

  • Polly Hall

    Have not done much today, did some laundry, we are eating leftovers so I’m happy that I do not have to fix dinner.

  • Tamra Phelps

    We are having an oddly Spring like day, but it would be a stormy Spring day, lol. It’s warm and the sun keeps shining bright but then it gets dark and storms and the wind goes nuts. Ugh, seems like tornado weather.

  • heather

    We are getting some sunshine today sure need it to melt some of the snow but we have more snow coming in tomorrow. We so need the water here but I just don’t like not being able to get out of the driveway it stresses me out.

  • Michele Soyer

  • Tamra Phelps

    I’m so tired. I had a doctor’s appointment about an hour away today, had to wait for transportation back–so it’s been a long day.

  • GLORIA PATTERSON

    I have worked on at least a dozen different things today. Just now in the mood to do anything for a long period of time.

    • Connie: The Head Peanut

      Agreed! I have so many things I really should be doing. It’s cold outside and snowing so I really don’t want to do ANYTHING! DirectTV has been out for over a week. So, it’s time to dig out my DVD’s. It’s getting pretty boring around here.

      • GLORIA PATTERSON

        That would be hell! I don’t watch a lot of TV but I like the sound, maybe it the talking. Sometimes music but always TV #1

  • Kim Pincombe-Cole

    It’s a good day! My husband just returned to work after being off 1 month for cancer surgery. So happy to have my house back to myself – he was going stir crazy!!

  • Michele Soyer

    Sitting here unmotivated again! All I want to do is study and get on a plane…Sad to say even though this has been my home for 23 years I am totally divested right now – I am grateful for the people I met here and all the things I have learned about those said people and life….time for me to move on….

  • GLORIA PATTERSON

  • Tamra Phelps

    Here’s a question: does bloglovin exist anymore??? I notice it every time I fill out this form at the beginning of the month and I can log in on bloglovin but absolutely nothing will come up, not even my own profile page. And I know I followed this blog so that’s not a problem but even the PB&W page won’t come up on bloglovin. I don’t think it exists, Connie, lol. Honestly, I never used it so I wouldn’t know if it did stop existing.

  • heather

    Well, I am still snowed in and am getting a little touch of cabin fever. I am seeing the sun is out today so I hope it melts a lot of the snow so we can at least get out if the driveway.

  • Kate Sarsfield
