Win $50 Your Way Giveaway May 2024
Happy May my Little Peanuts. Time for May’s $50 Your Way Giveaway! Yes, it’s the same $50 giveaway that I have hosted every month for years. If you’re new here I hope you will join us often. To my most awesome, amazing followers that have stuck with me for years, THANK YOU! I’m so happy to see you again.
The first part of my $50 giveaway post is always a recap of the previous month. So, if this bores you feel free to scroll to the end. The Giveaway Tools widget is below.
I am so happy to have April behind me. My first reason is that on the 30th of May, I get my first cataract removed. Seriously, these things are no joke. I feel like I am looking through a piece of tissue paper. Nothing is in focus. Of course, I have no wrinkles right so there is that. Also no dust! I mean seriously, who doesn’t want a clean home with no dust or dirt or drips off the counter?? (Maybe I should rethink this surgery) I can’t drive at night. I also found out I can’t drive in the SNOW!! I was coming home from an art class in Sandpoint and it was SNOWING. On APRIL 29th! SNOWING. It was hell to drive in. It was scary. I couldn’t focus. I was never so glad to get back on the mountain.
Anyway, 31st, is the first surgery, then the second surgery happens 2 weeks later. It does mean several round trips to Spokane (2 hours away) But, I will be able to have more than 10 words on my computer screen. LOL The Husband says he can read my phone from across the room. GESH!!
These cataracts also mean I haven’t been crafting like last month. I miss my craft time!!
Now, if you’ve been around awhile you know I am fascinated by the surgeries I’ve had. I was able to watch (so upclose that the doctor had to use his finger on my forehead to move me out of his way. BUT it WAS COOL to WATCH!!) both of my carpal tunnel surgeries. I also got to watch (TMI) my colonoscopy. THAT was very interesting as well. SO knowing I can’t watch my cataract surgery I did a YouTube search. IT’s SO COOL!!!!!! So, if you are interested I’m linking to a real cataract surgery. (SEE??? I am nice!!! I didn’t just POOF here it is!)
I do have a couple of funny pictures to share from the trail cam though.
For those that follow me on Instagram know that I have quite the entertaining wild turkeys that walk across the craftroom door and glam for the trail cam. (hey! I rhymed!) Now tell me this guy doesn’t know there is a camera right in front of him.
Now for the REAL reason you are here!!
Giveaway Time!
This Giveaway spiel is the exact same as last month, the month before and the month before that! The year before and well, you get the idea. I am truly thankful and feel blessed that you stopped by. A little of the blah blah blah stuff: This giveaway is open worldwide for PayPal, Venmo, and Amazon. Any GC that you think would work worldwide, I’m willing to try. This giveaway is $50 US.
This is a giveaway hosted by me alone. I NEVER ask for anything except where to send your prize. My email is Connie@peanutbutterandwhine. I have found that saying congratulations in the subject line causes emails to go to spam. So, I will usually say. HEY it’s Connie. Guess WHAT? Or something similar.
I hope you will come back often, stay around for a while, look at more than one page, it really helps me. Of course, any extra clicks on advertisements is always appreciated. Purchasing through my blog does not cost you any additional money!! I do make a small commission which means I can continue to host (OKAY PEOPLE!! How come no one mentioned in the PAST giveaway spiels… it SAID HOSE?!?!?! tsk tsk… little peanuts! TSK TSK!!) the $50 Giveaways.
There are tons Of Ways to Enter The $50 Your Way Giveaway!! Comments!! I LOVE COMMENTS and SHARING!! Hint hint!! You also get extra entries for sharing. Every once and awhile I may add a new entry so be sure to double-check occasionally. Those entries may pop up at any time during the month. Usually in the form of a comment on a certain post.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Today I didn’t do much. Pretty much a lazy day.
Catherine Lee
This is awesome! ThankYOU ❤️❤️
l p
the day is going well. it’s pretty chilly, with high humidity, though. moving keeps me warm so there’s lots of dusting, and cleaning going on. thanks
Tamra Phelps
Outside, it’s a nice day: blue skies with white fluffy clouds. Indoors, I’m feeling a little blah. But, it’s not too bad, just a little bit of an upset stomach. So, I’ve been playing online games and reading. I did mix up some brownies.
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to coaching soccer tonight.
Kate Sarsfield
Thunder & lightning all night & on and off this morning as well. Just did usual chores till the rain stopped then managed a bit of gardening till it started again.
gloria patterson
Its a beaufiful day almost 80 and nice little breeze blowing in my windows. I have fans going NOT a fan of air conditioning.
Done a little of this and some of that so far today. I think I will do some painting to see how they turn out.
Elizabeth
I need to run errands out of town…
heather
I woke un in the twilight zone this morning! Last night I spilled a coke by my nightstand and I quickly cleaned it up. While I was cleaning, I knocked over my lamp and sumehow messed up my alarm clock setting??? I ended up getting up at 4:00 am instead of 5:00 am. I got on my computer and I couldn’t figure out why my clock on the laptop was off? After a few minutes I figured it out – TWILIGHT ZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jenn fike
Well, today promises to be interesting. It’s the last week of school and so far my youngest has missed yesterday and today. It looks like I’m going to have to take her to the dr to see if there’s anything they can do to help because she doesn’t want to miss the last 3 days. Also just might try to work outside again though I’m so so sore from all the work I’ve done so far.
Sue E
Not too good. Our large Doberman accidentally stabbed my foot with one of his sharp nails on hie paws 🐾
gloria patterson
Had to run some errands. Stopped at the discount store found 5 top (all designer names) loved the feel of the material and it cost me $20.56
Then on to Lowes I am going through a BOLD Color phase. Got a royal blue and orange red (sample) jars $8.00 each planning on painting a dresser and a jewelry cabinet.
Its a beautiful dau temp now is 83 and breeze coming in my windows
Kate Sarsfield
Drum roll please! Today, I mowed my front lawn!!! It’s taken months to get to this and it’s still very patchy but it’ll come good. Thunder & lightning & torrential rain later on.
gloria patterson
THAT’S WONDERFUL!!!!! YOU worked hard to get to this point
Tamra Phelps
That definitely counts as a big accomplishment!
Kate Sarsfield
Every time I accomplish anything, no matter how small, I say “Well done, Kate” to myself! Great for stopping the blues setting in.
l p
the day is going well. my favourite day of the week – baking bread and rolls. I also added yeast doughnuts as a gift for a friend. keep your fingers crossed. thanks
Elizabeth
I need to get some birthday gifts ready to mail.
Shelly Peterson
Today is Monday and back to dialysis.

I am playing the waiting game this morning. We are having some trees taken down and they might be here today and then again they might be here tomorrow? I so hate that! I like to know when your going to be here and what time oh and be on time too!
Jenn fike
I did not get laundry done yesterday but I got SO MUCH weeding done. I’ve been trying to get the flower beds in order. We bought this house from an elderly man one year ago yesterday so I’m trying to get everything back in order.
Michele Soyer
Feeling sappy today – 54 years ago today my late husband sat me down in the park across from NYU betweeen classes and told me after 4 months of dating that he loved me…..no flowers no wine just those 3 words…it did change my life …. everyone here have a lovely day as I will….
Kate Sarsfield
Aw, bless xxx
gloria patterson
What a beautiful memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tamra Phelps
That is a legit love story! I swear, your life could be a movie. After you get to Greece, it will turn into something like EAT PRAY LOVE, or maybe Mamma Mia???
Anne Perry

Michele Soyer
Bold colors make me smile – may they make you smile also…..
Kate Sarsfield
I remember going on a school trip & coming home to discover that Mum had painted my lovely dressing table a putrid pink colour! She’d painted the front door red & had some left over so mixed it with some leftover white. I was so cross with her!
Kristi F
Has been a rainy day around here so have just been cooking in the kitchen 🙂

l p
the day is going well. the garden is getting lots of much-needed attention today. thanks
Jenn fike
It’s been a strange few days but today is probably a good day to get things back on track. Probably going to do the laundry and head outside and do some more gardening while the days are nice before the rain starts again.
heather
My day is off to a nice start so far it’s gotta be better than yesterday! Things went kind of sideways yesterday and I was in a piss poor mood most of the day because of it. I am going to spoil myself today and have a great Sunday hope you all do too.
Michele Soyer
No one was able to come to tthe property at all these past few days with all the rain…one set plans on rescheduling for this week the others were turned off by the rain – it doesn’t flood here but they were turned off just the same… this is an island.. anyway today I need a “spirit” boost so after utube mass a lovely Sunday lunch with a single malt and my book!
Anne Perry
Today is a good day. No one came to my moving sale yestereday. Someone did buy a dresser off of marketplace.
Maryann D.
My day is good so far. It is early but a nice quiet morning!
Jennifer Wilson
Our rhodedenren is blooming. It’s pretty, but I’m allergic to it, so I just take a couple photos each year. My husband needs to trim it because it’s getting way too big.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve felt so restless today. I need to go somewhere and do something, but I have no idea where or what, lol.
gloria patterson

Slept & slept after yesterday’s physical exertions! Catching up now on chores I should have done yesterday. I have to give the cats their worm tablets today, that should be fun!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Sleep good! Lucky you and the boys. LOL
Elizabeth
Hoping I can fit a quick bakery stop in and still get to Caltrain on time…
Connie: The Head Peanut
I don’t have a fresh bakery near me, well, Walmart and Safeway but those are the kind that you can walk in and just gain 10 pounds as you breathe in. I’m jealous. I hope you made it.
heather
Happy Saturday to you hope you have a great one. I think I am staying pretty close to home today I have been running around all week and I am tired.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Here’s to staying home and enjoying a relaxing weekend. It’s so cold here in Sandpoint. I SWEAR it could have snowed yesterday. I had my electric throw on all day yesterday.
Jennifer Wilson
I think I pretty much have our summer planned out. Because of my uncle and aunt’s health we aren’t going far on any trip this summer, but are going to be doing about one a month a few hours away in different directions. Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia. 🙂
Connie: The Head Peanut
WOW that sounds like an awesome way to spend your summer. I have plans to go to Southern California to spend time with my family. I can’t wait.
Carolyn D
I am exhausted and happy that the weekend is finally here.

Connie: The Head Peanut
I need a nap and my electric throw. I AM Freezing.
Tamra Phelps
Last Summer was very rainy, and it selm s like tis Spring is the same. If it rains all Summer, too, I’m gonna lose my mind, lol. Why so much rain???
Connie: The Head Peanut
i DON’T think I’m going to get a spring here either. Thunder storms here today. AND SO DANG COLD!! It’s MAY!!! I want sunshine. I want dry warm weather. Yes, still a bottomless pit of wants and needs.
Kate Sarsfield
Lordy, what a day! I found a freezer on FB Marketplace & got it for $65!!! It’s only a year old & in (so far) perfect running order. The owner’s moving house & it’s not needed. Checked Google Maps – just over an hour’s drive away. I got lost 3 times & it ended up taking me 2 hours to get there. Managed to unload it from the car, ‘walked’ the old freezer out round the back of the house & walked the new one in. It’s the first big kitchen appliance I’ve ever bought! Feeling all grown up!!!
Tamra Phelps
Don’t you feel so self-satisfied when you get a good bargain??? An manage to get it in yourself? YAY1!
gloria patterson
What a great find!!!! What are you going to do with old one?
Kate Sarsfield
It’s with the rest of the redundant electrical appliances that were already here, round the back of the house! Next time there’s an organised local council collection my friendly farmer will take them in his trailer.
gloria patterson
Thats great !!!!!!!!!!! At least you will not have to try to take it someplace.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Kate that is AMAZING!!!!! What a price!! WOW The Bargain Hunter Queen.
l p
the day is going…. fighting with the Internet gods today. I shall persevere.
Connie: The Head Peanut

Heather Swanson
Feeling good got my new glasses & got my hair cut today.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Hot diggity! NOW that sounds like a great self care day.
Kate Sarsfield
A very busy day as usual at the rescue centre. I felt quite pleased with myself: one of the resident dogs, a collie with a very traumatic past, allowed me to brush him. He runs & hides from most people so I felt honoured.
Tamra Phelps
That always feels good, right? I remember when a stray cat got into our garage and gave birth, then after several weeks, she just didn’t return. Probably she either was killed or went home and was locked up. Anyway, I worked for days to get those kittens to come to me! It felt so good when they all did. (One, the only tiny female, just flounced right up to me the first day, like “Are you going to feed me?’)
Kate Sarsfield
You’re right! It’s a very special feeling!
gloria patterson
Kate that is so special!!! And best of all you were able to give him some special love!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Even the rescue animals know you are a great person. That must have made you feel so good.
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to an evening at home
Elizabeth
Getting ready for a quick concert trip tomorrow…
gloria patterson
Nice quiet day, 74 a nice breeze coming in the windows. May even take a nap.

Shelly Peterson
Today is just a normal day of dialysis.
Connie: The Head Peanut

Connie: The Head Peanut
AHHHHHHHH cookies!! That sounds like a great idea. I wonder if I have everything.
heather
I am going to try to turn my day around just spent three hours dealing with a Twitter issue. It is such a pain when you can’t deal with a real human to answer your questions.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Ohhhhhhhhhhh that is so frustrating. My nemisis is GoDaddy. I feel like I’m on the phone with them every day. PLEASE GODADDY don’t make the blog disappear…. I was just letting off steam. LOL
Jenn fike
Today is shaping up to be a busy yet gloomy day. We have to be at my FIL’s memorial service tomorrow so today I must get the house tidied so my cleaners can come in while we’re gone.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Yesterday I actually had a burst of energy and cleaned the kitchen and the family room. I felt so good after.
Michele Soyer
I should go downstairs and dust the apartment but bleh – how dusty could it get in a day? After breakfast and a nice walk with the pooch I have languages to do and after lunch Art History, I am so enjoying these courses!
Connie: The Head Peanut
That is awesome. Give your brain wrinkles. I can’t remember where I heard that but every time you learn something your brain gets a new wrinkle. I should start a course…….. my brain is starting to go smooth! LOL

I have decided that 7 yr old girls are little time bombs…………………… No school today voting, so great niece was spending day with me. Got here with her mother and she would not stay off her mothers lap. Would not talk or anything. Mommy left she turned in to a little chatty cathy. We were on amazon she found some elfs she wanted (ordered) so off we go to walmart. We spend 2 hrs there looking at stuff and in the toy department. And she found a lot of stuff and we bought it. Got in the car was talking about going to McDonalds and getting milkshakes, and she wanted to go in to get them. OK no problem got halfway there and she says…………… I WANT TO GO TO GMOMMY OR GRANDMOTHERS house. First thing out of my mouth OK I will take you there. THEN NO I WILL TAKE YOU HOME TO YOUR DADDY (and she hate to spend the day with him) Just so happens her mother was there she had a cancelation so ran home. Her mother was not happy with her at all. She said she has been acting strange for a while mood swings!!! Mommy text me she wanted mommy to order her food from McDonalds mommy told her NO and to make herself a sandwich. Daddy called and she apologized for her attitude.

It hasn’t stopped raining all day. Completely bucketing down. Of course, I had forgotten to properly close the car windows so had to get very wet. Other than that, the cats & I haven’t budged.
Jenn fike
Well today was another ditch day until it started to threaten to rain. My body is tired and sore and I have blisters on my thumbs. Oh, also my FIL passed away at 2 this morning so there’s that too.
heather
I am still waking up and sipping my hot tea. I am planning a trip to the local library this morning before it gets too hot out. They are saying it is going to be 90 degrees here and that is way too hot for me hate it!

I was still awake at 6am worrying about money. My freezer has died & I have zero funds to replace it. Took out my frustration on the weeds.
Tamra Phelps
Been there,done that, for sure. If you need to earn cash quickly around here, you drive to the closest bigger city and Uber for a day, lol. Would that work in Ireland?
Kate Sarsfield
No. Special licence required & only a fixed number. This is to protect the ‘real’ taxi drivers’ livelihood.
Kristi F
My day is going well, just going to do some yard work. At least my knee is feeling better than it has the last two weeks so that’s good!

I am tired and frusturated today. I hope you had a nice day.

Anne Perry
A bit sad today, I must sell my pigs before the move.
Jennifer Wilson
My husband FINALLY started mowing the grass today. :). About time. It was almost up to my waist. Last year our town threatened to put a lein on the house because the grass was so high (I think that is excessive, but you can’t fight city hall!). So I’m glad he’s got it started.
Ed
Had a great day celebrating some of the moms in my life.
Jenn fike
Happy mothers day!! My mom came by today!

Molli Lillian Taylor

I am one proud grandma!! Two of my grandchildren graduated college! My granddaughter, Ally graduated with an Associate Degree in Arts. My grandson, Jared graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science! They are siblings. I did a “brag” post on my Facebook page about them.
Jennifer Wilson
We went out looking for the northern lights last night, but I had friends in Mobile Alabama post more impressing photos on Facebook than what we saw in West Virginia / Maryland. I don’t like these solar storms. I’ve read a lot of post-apocolyptic fiction (Bobby Akart is a genius with writing) and they often start out with a big solar storm. lol. It’s weird because I’m not much into fiction, but I learned this week that I have aphantasia, and that explains a lot. (I don’t see pictures when people describe something to me.).
Tamra Phelps
No rain today, so that was nice. It was a slow Saturday. Just reading and making some cookies and watching a little TV.

I spent 5 long hours toiling in the garden today. I’m trying to get as much as I can before the weather breaks tomorrow evening. The forecast is for thunder & lightning 🙁 Right now, I’m lying in bed eating some well-deserved chocolate!

I really enjoy reading mysteries!

Must admit that today, this week even has been my best. Struggling with several things that are not working well in my world. But tomorrow is another day.
Barrie
I got up to visit the farmer’s market! So much to see and buy, and but I did!!
heather
I have a pretty busy day ahead of me. I have a lot of last minute shopping to do to prepare for Mother’s Day this Sunday.
Anne Perry
A good day, going to look through some books.

Total “me” weekend…Took 2 tests yesterday in Art History awaiting results…. One small French lesson today and a new Italian workbook to glance over….after breakfast prepping tomorrows lunch then my chair, my book the pooch and cats next to me and my book! my daughter in the office finishing up a work project then she will join me….
Kate Sarsfield
Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day!
Elisabeth Miller
This is an old book, but I just recently read The Outsiders again. Just because it was the very first book I ever truly enjoyed as a teenager.
Elisabeth Miller
My days are never what I plan them to be! I spent today running last-minute errands and then cooking a nice meal for my mom and my son for mother’s day weekend!
Ali K.
The last fiction book I read was Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Kristi F
Had a good day taking my grandmother for her yearly physical and the weather was great!
Kate Sarsfield
Today was beautiful! Temps in the mid 70s on the East Coast, early 70s in the West, where I am. I could feel the heat getting into my bones! More gardening, a little trip into town for cat food and more hand washing. I really miss not having the washing machine up & running.
wendy hutton
My day is going great, beautiful weather here today, downside had an argurment with my neighoburs lol
Elizabeth
Fingers crossed that no one calls, so I can go run errands…
Jenn fike
Today is a very gloomy cold rainy day. It’s not great but today will be a good day for cleaning inside.
heather
Oh my goodness, I did it again! I meant to type the word commenting before 6am in my last comment. I can’t get it right today.
heather
My day is going pretty good so far. I commented on one of the posts and made a spelling error. I hate it when you catch the mistake after you have already hit enter. Really I do know how to spell. lol but hey to my credit I was commented before 6:00 am.
Renee T
What’s the last book you read? I can’t recall the last book I read. It’s been a busy time for my family. Thanks.
Michele Soyer
I have 2 classes today then the rest of the day is mine. My book awaits me….
Anne Perry
The new deck is almost complete, there was termite damage under the stairs.
Jennifer Wilson
Another trip to the “city” of 35k which is an hour from me. Today my husband had an appointment. My uncle’s surgery that was scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled (or postponed provided he passes a stress test.) So, we won’t have to make the two hour round trip again tomorrow. (To put it in perspective how much we have been on the road this week, we have a Prius, and we have had to fill up the car on Tuesday and again today. I’m looking forward to a day at home and doing stuff around the house tomorrow, and spending some much needed time with my HoneyButter. We did stop in and take a pizza to my aunt in rehab. My uncle never likes to eat out and I had some Papa John’s giftcards. She was really happy about the pizza, and asked for us to bring a guinea pig next time we visited. 🙂 They allow pets to visit, so we can make that happen!
Sue E
I’m feeling proud of myself, because I put together something that I haven’t done in a few years!
Bonnie C
I just finished the murder mystery audiobook, The Therapist
Julia Wilkie
I had my cataracts removed a few years ago. I couldn’t believe the difference after the first one was removed. I didn’t realize I was seeing the world in sepia tones. I went from needing glasses to only needing glasses for reading and using the computer. Congrats on your road to better vision.
Nancy
My day is going pretty well. Unfortunately the points aren’t adding up on your entry form. I have entered twice now but it doesn’t show up. ?

I had to go in this morning for a procedure on my fistula. Things didn’t go the geatest.
Kate Sarsfield
Another day without rain so spent a couple of hours in the garden & did a mountain of handwashing.
Has anyone else had difficulty sharing FB posts lately? I don’t understand what’s happening but the system has changed. Maybe it’s just me … I don’t know …
Tamra Phelps
Yes, I have, Kate. They must be screwing around with how you can share things. I’ve actually had to download a post and go to Connie’s page and post it myself rather than just share it to her page.

My day is okay so far…huge rain downpour right now!

The last book I read was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I’d read it before but it’s been awhile and I needed a fluffy, feel-good story.
Ashley S
My day went alright. It’s a little stressful as my elderly grandma is in our home receiving medical support multiple times daily. Other than the stress of that, it was a good day. We had a good dinner, watched Survivor and hung out with my niece.
Jennifer Wilson
I finally had my filling in today. The top of my front teeth. And they extend to my nose inside my face, so my nose was also numb for hours. Ugh. Then went to visit my aunt. She broke her hip over the weekend. She is now at rehab.
Tamra Phelps
It’s been a fairly n ice day here. It’s a little muggy lately, really humid, but the skies have been clear today, so at least no rain.

heather
My day is off to a nice start so far. Boy, I did not want to get up this morning I was snug as a bug and the house was chilly.
Jenn fike
Today seems ti be a fairly basic day. Though I do need to put a letter in my neighbors mailbox. She has a bunch of backdated fan animals; hosts, chickens, turkeys, etc. She Let’s them roam free and are now causing damage to my property so she needs to find a way to keep them in her own yard.

A good day today. The new deck is being built.
Jennifer Wilson
I made a big purchase at Amazon today. And not one that is exactly fun. ha! You need to have your affiliate link a little easier to find, BTW. Amazon is having a promo of spend $100 on pet food and get a $30 credit. So I ordered over $100 of guinea pig food, hay, treats, etc. Sure do love my girls though, and even ordered a treat that is specially formulated to help with joint support. My HoneyButter likes to think she is a baby, but at 5, that’s a bit older, and I wonder if she has a touch of arthritis, most pigs do when they get older. RedBird and Pippi are 3.
Sue E
I’m doing OK today. I thought I would feel worse, because it’s the day after the second anniversary of my husband’s death. God has helped me through it!
Polly Hall
Dinner and cards with the girls although one of my friends couldn’t make it she had a hip replacement 4 days ago.
Ed
Having a good day. Looking forward to coaching soccer tomorrow
Tamra Phelps
Ever have those days when you really just wish people woukd leave you alone and let you have a day with no phone calls or errands to run or appoitments to keep?? That’s my mood today.
Michele Soyer
I fully understand.. Have had many of them. LOL

the day is going well. baking bread as usual. trying out a a new recipe – hope it turns out as well as the picture. thanks
Kate Sarsfield
Managed some more gardening today. Guess what? Ireland isn’t due any rain this week!

Today seems like it’ll be a good day for outside. It’s not raining but slightly overcast, not supposed to rain and not unbearably hot.
heather
My cat is super lovey this morning and she is cracking me up. I am trying to type and she is rubbing up on me saying good morning mommy.

Anonymous
A good day. Cinco de Mayo. Selling items on Marketplace.
Michele Soyer
I realized that I have been in a sort of “feeling sorry for myself” phase – hoping to sell and it just isn’t happening – etc.. and because of this I have let my schedule of courses stop. This will not do at all…Soooo to remedy this I have printed out an old school schedule ( yes just like school days) and now I have a plan..
My languages on certain mornings and Art History on the others….As my daughter remminded me “you have paid” for these so get going…Tomorrow i must go to the shoppes but the schedule starts Tuesday….
I have left plenty of cooking and reading time… wish there more hours in a day…
Tamra Phelps
I know nothing gets me going like the knowledge that I have spent good money on something, lol!
Sue E
My day was a quiet one! I just kept to myself and thought about my family.
Tamra Phelps
I have watched house renovation shows all day, exept for taking 3 minutes to watch the KY Derby. i don’t know why I love renovation shows so much. I have no plans to renovate ever, lol.

I am currently in a nasty mood with zero reason to be. Everything is irritating me and it’s a gloomy overcast day.
Kate Sarsfield
Yay me! I managed a good wash & headed into the garden (and no, Gloria, I was not naked!). Tired out after about an hour but it’s a start.
Barrie
I’ve had minimal sleep last night due to being on a prednisone pack as an anti-inflammatory. It’s working but giving me insomnia. Only 4 more days of taking it though!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Barrie, I have a love/hate relationship with Prednisone. I hope you get some rest soon AND pain relief too.
Barrie
Thanks! I finally did!
gloria patterson

Coffee great. Packing not. I hope to never have to move again. GOOD luck!
Michele Soyer
Today my father has been gone for 21 years…. not a day goes by that I don’t think of him – speak of him and I miss him so very much! The times I walked in their house and he told me good paint job Michele ( he liked my makeup) that was his sense of humor…..
Connie: The Head Peanut
Michele, BIG HUG!! I LOVE the paint job remark. That’s funny.
Tamra Phelps
I think I would have liked your father!
Tamra Phelps
I’m feeling a little bloated and yucky vecause of a kidney infection, so I didn’t get out of bed until about noon. The day has been rainy, and I like just laying in bed listening to rain, anyway.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Feel better Tamra. But a day in bed sounds relaxing and needed.
Sue E
I feel somewhat better, because I received a prescription of antibiotics. Thanks Doc!
Connie: The Head Peanut
Excellent. I hope you feel 100% QUICK
Polly Hall
It was a good day I’ve started to gather together what we will need for trip
Connie: The Head Peanut
SWEET!! I am heading to town today for our local craft fair. I can’t wait. I get to go bye bye!

Time to relax and rejuvenate!

Having a good day. Looking forward to going to the Symphony tonight with my wife.
Connie: The Head Peanut
That sounds like an excellent evening to me.
Kate Sarsfield
Got up & managed a few chores and went slug hunting today. Didn’t get dressed ‘cos that means having a good top-to-toe wash and that means boiling the kettle and I don’t have the energy or inclination to get naked!
gloria patterson
Now Kate you knew I was going to ask………… WHAT THE HELL IS SLUG HUNTING??????????
“”Didn’t get dressed”” ……… And were you outside naked???????????????????? R O F L M A O
Connie: The Head Peanut
Gloria, leave it to you make me snort laugh. BUt, YEAH! IS KATE naked outside??
Kate Sarsfield
NO! I wasn’t naked! I was in my old nightie & a fleece. Slug hunting is gathering the pesky slugs off my plants and chucking them into the field next door! There are thousands of the buggers and I HATE them.
Michele Soyer
Oh gosh Kate…I so want one day for you to tell us you took the day off – relaxed and just enjoyed yourself….
Connie: The Head Peanut
Now I see why Gloria wanted to know if you were naked. And slug hunt? Is that like a snail hunt? Or a naked slug? Like how big is a slug? We have many questions.
Kate Sarsfield
Don’t you have slugs over there? Like a snail without a shell.
Tamra Phelps
Oh, we have slugs but I’ve never had a problem with them in a garden. Usually, they leave their slimy trails across the porch, lol.
Shari Dalton
I love a good mystery book.
Connie: The Head Peanut
You and me both.
Shelly Peterson
Happy Happy Friday. I am ready for the weekend. But dialysis first.
l p
the day is going well. didn’t get the greatest sleep so a couple of early robo-calls weren’t welcome. hoping family members who are travelling today don’t run into any problems. doing some baking to welcome them home. thanks
heather
Well, my day can only go up from here! I woke up this morning and the dog had ‘an accident’ in the livingroom and I stepped in it in the dark! I was at a NEW LEVEL of PISSED OFF!!!!!! Thank the Lord I had my slippers on! I am starting to simmer down a little bit. I just love cleaning first thing in the morning puts me in a rosey mood.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Heather, I AM NOT LAUGHING. NOOOOOO because that would be wrong. AND ewwwwwwwwwww but not laughing.
Anne Perry
A good day to coninue to pack and sell unused items.
Connie: The Head Peanut
Anne, do you sell on ebay? I have so MUCH stuff that I could sell but I’ve never tried. (I think it’s just the lazy part of me)
Heather Swanson
Mom & brother home from hospital

All the best Connie – you will get thorugh it well and it truly improves your sight…
Barrie
Better day! I can move better and went to the doctor. I’m on some medication for my back and had an xray.
Jennifer Wilson
The last book I read or listened to? I am not even sure what the last one I finished was. I think I’m up to 28 this year (although that’s not many for me by this time of year. I spent most of February cross stitching instead of reading.). I think the last one I finished was Sold — a book that has been banned for explicit scenes because a girl is sold to a brothel in India. It was explicit, but it needed to be to convey the story.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I will have to look for Sold. Cross stitching use to be one of my favorite hobbies. I haven’t picked up mind in years. I have the cutest little Christmas one that I should start. (Key word SHOULD! LOL)
Jennifer Wilson
I don’t know how your site got out of my daily must visits, but something reminded me of it, and here I am. I can’t even remember last time I was here. My big news of the year is my guinea pig was a Cadbury bunny finalist (2nd year in a row!) and we visited some TV stations and libraries, and had so much fun even though she didn’t win. If you search YT for KDKA guinea pig, our interview in Pittsburgh comes up.
Connie: The Head Peanut
WELCOME BACK Jennifer!! I am soooooooooooo glad to see you.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I’ve missed your guinea pig escapades.
Ed
Having a good day. Had a long awaited cortisone shot for my shoulder today
Tamra Phelps
Went for an ultrasound of my upper abdomen this morning. It’s for my gastroenterologist. Next up is a colonoscopy…not looking forward to that, lol.
Jenn fike
Well today wasn’t super great but I guess they all can’t be. My middle daughter woke me up last night having wet the bed so I was kind of cranky all day which sticks. Had to do my weekly grocery trip and wasn’t able to do anything outside really because of my sunburn from yesterday.
Connie: The Head Peanut
OUCH and I do not miss those days of midnight bedding changes. I hope your sunburn is much better today.
Polly Hall
I read the 3rd book of Dean Koontz’s Odd series really like them but I cannot read all of them at once. So many other good authors to read like Jonathan Kellerman, Jeffery Deaver, Micheal Connelly and Harlan Coban to name just a few.
Polly Hall
It was nice enough outside for me to sit and read.
gloria patterson
Its a beautiful day about 84 now, windows open a little breeze coming in. Mom and I had a appointment with the agency (in her apartment) regarding her aide 2 hrs a day, 5 days. She asked a lot of questins and had to adjust a lot of the information. In the end she is suggesting that her aide goes from 2 hrs to 3 hrs a day. So that should change in the next week.
After she left got a few things done then took a nap. Birthday party tomorrow just have to pick up the cakes.
Connie: The Head Peanut
That’s good for Mom. AND you I’m sure. I would love an 80 ANYTHING day. It’s rainy, cold and it MIGHT SNOW TONIGHT!! Yes, May 4th. SNOW!?!? Weirdest winter EVER
l p
the day is going well. spent a lot of time at the bank dealing with family issues but things were finally settled in my favour. yay! thanks
Kate Sarsfield
As we say over here, Connie, you won’t know yourself after the surgery. Be prepared for a bit of a shock though when you do get to see what time has done to your skin! Well worth it though! Mum had both eyes done when she was in her 70s & only wore glasses for close work.
I’ve spent most of the day in bed again but am able to do a bit more every day. I might even get dressed tomorrow!
Tamra Phelps
Good to have goals, lol. Seriously, feel better soon, Kate.
Connie: The Head Peanut
I’m scared. LOL!! It’s gonna be bad. Maybe this week really isn’t the week to cut my hair super short. I HAD THOUGHT I wanted long hair again. All it’s done is made me feel old, frumpy and angry that my hair won’t do that whole Instagram BEAUTIFUL hair. ROFLMAO! I AM SO FUNNY!!!
I’m going to go as short as possible without a crew cut. I think. I’ve changed my mind a zillion times already.

I am just warming up the house at the moment. We got some nice rain last night and I think it is still raining a little right now. I wish it would rain a few times a week I love it and it keeps everything nice and green. I dread the hot summers and the fire season here. I can’t believe I used to lay out and sunbathe in that heat now I hide from the sun. Man I got old….

YOU are going to love seeing after the cataract surgery. It is a shock but so great. I had my finally appointment in March and I don’t need glasses………… First time in 50+ years no glasses. Its hard I am always reaching for them. The other day one of my eyes had a inch and I started to push the glasses up to scratch BUT NO GLASSES.
I am reading different books ever couple of days……

Hello! Cataract surgeries is why I haven’t been around.
I woke up one morning and couldn’t see out of one eye!
My left eye was blurry. I thought I was going blind, because of my age and my Diabetes. Plus I still have crying bouts! I miss my husband!! I had two surgeries.
One for my right eye and then my left- 2 weeks apart!
I had to drown my eyes with 3 different types of drops and wear a protective plastic patch over the eye at night to protect it. I can see better than I did, because I had a lens inserted in each eye so I can see far. Now I need glasses to see near/read. I am so happy about that ! I’m
HAPPY for you too!

Bob Stanley’s biography of the Bee Gees is mesmerizing! I also read a lot of manga. I’m hoping to get more into audiobooks this year, but my mind tends to wander more than with visual reading…

Stressful morning, but I’m so happy that the new Lemon Twigs album is supposed to be delivered to me today!

Feeling sad today. Disappointed my Jets were eliminated from the playoffs last night.

I’m really sorry! I’m a longtime Sharks fan mourning the Hertl trade and stressing over the draft, so I know what pain hockey can cause….
Tamra Phelps
My brother found me one of those ‘portable washers’, you can basicall wash a load of about 4 or 5 items. He will set it up for me in the bathroom. He found it on one of those bidding sites, brand new, and he only paid $20!! It goes for about $199 usually. Hopefully it works well. I can’t get to the apartment complex’s laundry, so I rely on his family to take my laundry, or I go to the laundromat. Still, being able to wash things, even a few things, on my own here would be nice.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve been re-reading all the old Jonathan Kellerman novels about Alex Delaware/Milo Sturgis crime solvers, lol. I’ve been reading them since the 80s. There are over 30 at this point. I decided to read them starting with the most recent, which was weird, I guess. But I kind of remember them. Still, I can’t usually remember who did it if it was from 30 years ago, lol. Now I’m on ‘Blood Test’ from 1986. It amazes me how much time they spent trying to find pay phones in these old novels!!
Melanie B
Last book I’ve read was Haven Jacobs Saves the Planet by Barbara Dee; I love reading middle grade books!

the day is going well. the sun’s trying to get through the clouds and the rain/snow mix is slowing down. sure hope the cataract surgeries go well for you. thanks

The last book I read was Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor by Shawn M. Warner that went viral on tiktok last summer. It was a very good mystery.

I just finished the book by Karen Kingsbury called –Someone Like You. I think it is a movie but the book was wonderful and I finished it so quickly– I wanted to know how it ended. :)!
Connie: The Head Peanut
I love books that you want to read faster. Adding this one to my queue right now. Thank you. OH MY GOSH there is an 8 week wait for this book. It must be good. Thank you.

I am currently reading the book called In Too Deep by L. K. Shaw it’s pretty good so far and easy to read.
Connie: The Head Peanut

Happy May Day! I love the month of May here it is so beautiful The flowers are all blooming, the trees all have their new leaves, the fields are all nice and green it is lovely.
Connie: The Head Peanut
So jealous! First it snowed on the 29th then the flowers that had bloomed the deer ate. SOOOO I’m ready for May! THIS time THE MINUTE I see a bloom I’m putting it in a vase inside the house! I WILL enjoy my flowers this year. LOL

A beautiful sunny day here in Barrie, Ontario. A high expected of 19C (that translates to 66F). A nice way to start off the month of May.
Connie: The Head Peanut
We are at 35F here. And the sky is so dark. BUT it’s May. It’s going to be a beautiful month. (That’s my newest chant)
