Monday Morning Ramblings

Disclosure: If you make a purchase through the links posted below, I may receive a small compensation. Read the full disclosure.

~First of all, the Oscars.  Did you watch?  You know I did.  Umm, let’s start with how annoying Kristin Chenoweth and the Pre-Oscar show.  OMG, she is so annoying.  Also, I feel like the Oscar’s would be much more enjoyable without the song and dance numbers. I’ll all for Jennifer Hudson and Adele singing.  Other than that?  Yeah, no.  It can go.  As for the fashion, I loved Naomi Watts.  And Jessica Chastain.  I didn’t love Halle Berry.  Or Jennifer Lawrence.  And where was J.Lo??  And OMG Brandi.  What happened to the rest of your dress???

~L’s fish (Gungo) passed away this weekend and is now swimming in the clouds with all the other fishes who have gone before him (at least that’s what we told L). Although he never really cared about the fish when it was alive, he declared it “the worst day of his life” and cried that he was gone. It was such a scene that he is now the proud owner of a new fish, also named Gungo. He is very concerned with the new guy and wants to get him an Easter basket. He has mentioned old Gungo a few times and declared that he “feels bad for him” and says once we build a rocket, we can go see him again. Done kid.

New Gungo

~So far this month I have received 20, yes 20 subscription boxes (Wittlebee, Barkbox, The Little Book Club, Mantry, Lip Factory, Citrus Lane, Kiwi Crate, PopSugar, Conscious Box, Goodies Co., Love With Food, Wantable.co, Nicely Noted, Julep, Birchbox, KnitCrate, The Soap Box, luvmybox, Stork Stack and Birchbox Man). I am still expecting bluum, Mommebox (turns out they are shipping February) and GLOSSYBOX. And I *think* that’s it? I’ll spare you the links. I am certain you know where to find them. But if not, click here and you’ll find them. And since you all always ask, I bolded the ones that had no affiliate programs (if you buy I get cash), that I haven’t been asked to review (meaning I got the box free) or ones that don’t have referral programs (if you buy a box, I get a box – or something like that).  I mean I originally paid for most of the boxes that have referral programs (Kiwi Crate, Citrus Lane, PopSugar, bluum, Julep), I do get a lot of boxes from credits (*).

~Somehow I have gotten sucked into Candy Crush.  WTF?  Why is this game so addicting?  I refuse to link this game to FB and admit that I do indeed play, but trust me, I am closet player.  Hopefully I forget about it soon.  Real soon.

Crack. I mean Candy Crush.

~According to weather.com (which means basically nothing), we may get 6 or more inches of snow tomorrow.  OMG I am so excited.  I’m not one of those people who is over winter yet.  I’m used to it.   I live in MI.  This is what happens here.  So BRING IT Old Man Winter.

Let It Snow!

~Not only did lots of you order Tupperware last week, I did too!  My order came on Saturday (they ship FedEx Home) and I got right to work getting rid of some of my old non-Tupperware stuff.  Since I don’t really *need* two sets of bowls, I am giving a set to my mom.  I think she’s pretty excited. And I believe it was Nicole who originally posted about it on Instagram, but I want to get chalkboard labels for my canisters.  Where does one get these?  And if you placed a Tupperware order (or want to), and I haven’t refunded your shipping, e-mail me.  Or leave me a comment and I’ll e-mail you.

My Tupper Loot

    Oh poor fishy. We are on Bob #4 at our house. LOL This one has been here almost a year so he’s going strong. Noah says that all fish are named Bob so thats what we get. 🙂

    Agree with Kristin Chenowith I don’t care for her at all. That voice is so grating to me. I did watch the whole night and as much as I loved Les Mis and Adele and thought it was appropriate since they were nominated shows why did they bring back all the other people? We saw them perform in their years.

    I got my chalkboard labels off of mamabargains about a year ago but I will need new ones. I’m pretty sure you can get them on etsy or ebay. I think I have some left over so I’ll have to see if I have enough but if not I’ll be shopping for some too. Great idea!!!

    I’ve seen chalkboard labels at Michaels before and they are on Very Jane, Sassy Steals and Groopdealz all the time.

    I got my chalkboard labels off veryjane.com. They also had wipeboard labels at the same time too that I picked up. The actual company they came from is here. looks like they have a lot of fun goodies. http://www.2berrycreative.com/

    We got a new fish last week, her name is Shark Bait…but I still call her the baby, lol!

    I didn’t watch the Oscar’s in fact, I have no idea who won, I was too busy catching up on my Snapped and praying for a snow day…. Which did not happen and I’m currently at work cursing the snow gods.

    Um, Candy Crush, call me obsessed!!!! I was stuck on level 29 for the longest and I finally passed it Friday night and now I’m stuck on level 30…seriously, the game shouldn’t be this tuff… but I still find myself getting irrational and wanting to throw my ipad through the window, lol, memories!

    We just had a HUGE storm blow through Colorado Saturday night through Sunday night… got a foot of snow and it was awesome!!! Getting the text message last night that work was still on, not so much! Oh well, the drive into work was awesome, not….

    Ugh, I meant to order some of those fridge keepers from you while they were on sale and yea, totally forgot when it was too late, le sigh…maybe Tupperware will have another sale?!?!?! Who knows, I may get lucky!

    Am I the only one who does not like Jennifer Lawrence?!?! She just seems rude.

  6. I definitely need to get some of those BOGO bowls. And I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about those red lids, but I like ’em. I ordered mine in silver, but now I feel a twinge of regret.

    I watched the Oscars last night at a watching party, and I have to agree that I could do without all the extra junk. That’s a looooong show. We didn’t even get home until after 11 and we are lucky enough to be in CST!

  7. Melissa

    Ok, I won’t complain about our 2inches of snow we are expecting to you…. 🙂 You must be MUCH tougher than me with this whole winter thing!

    You can find chalk board labels at Staples in the Martha Stewart Avery section. I also just saw some at TJMaxx yesterday.

    I LOVE those FridgeSmart containers. I see such a difference in how long my produce lasts. I got mine for free when I had a tupperware party, but I would totally pay full price for them over and over again! They rock!

  10. pamela

    oh gosh candy crush is TOO addicting!!! It helps pass by time at the gym at least! LOL!

  11. sara

    You’ll have to tell us where you find chalk labels.
    Also, my phone keeps trying to get me to download that game when I’m playing solitaire. I will keep from downloading it. 🙂

    Why was Brandi Glanville even at the Oscars? Don’t get me wrong, I adore her, but I’m just trying to figure out why she was there. (And I give the dress a thumbs down too. I don’t mind her typical sexy dresses, but this was almost vulgar.)

    Oh, and I loved Jennifer Lawrence’s dress. That’s my one disagreement! 🙂

    I can make you some cute chalk board labels for your tupperware with vinyl. Just saying ;].
