~How on earth is it already Monday? That came way too fast! We had a great weekend though, which included fro-yo to celebrate a successful first week of school, going out to breakfast (we haven’t done this in ages), L’s Back to School Bash, a trip to the Cider Mill (and petting farm) for L with his Nana & Papa and a trip to a local church festival (WB stayed at Nana & Papa’s for this). This festival is an annual fall tradition in my area and we try to never miss it. Before I met B (and then before B and I had L), we’d go to the Vegas tent and beer tent, but now it’s all about the carnival rides and games! It’s still fun, but in a different way ;).
~We won (another) fish at the festival this weekend and happened to run into an old friend there (#highschoolreunion) who gave L his FOUR fish (clearly his kids do not like fish like mine does). That brings our fish count to, umm, 9? No, wait, 10 since we still have “Gungo” our Beta fish. L and WB both love checking out the fish tank, so what’s 5 more?
~I have SO MANY subscription boxes coming this week. The ones I expecting include GLOSSYBOX Best of Britain, Mama’s Got Mail, PopSugar Fall Style Must Have Box (you can see SPOILERS for this here), Lip Factory, Birchbox, Bijoux Box, Plated and Made in Michigan Box. And I am behind on a few box reviews including Carefree Crafts, Crafter’s Crate and PixieBar. I am also expecting orders from thredUP, Moxie Jean and Zulily. And fingers crossed for my Haute Look order to ship! It’s going to be such a fun week around here!
~Instead of going grocery shopping last night (which now has to happen this morning), I spent my evening working on L’s “All About Me” collage. He cut out all the pictures from magazines for it, but I needed to get actual pictures ordered and printed. I should be used to these projects since I’ve done them every year for, oh, the past 4 years or so (daycare and then preschool), but I never am. Does anyone print pictures for albums anymore? Not photobooks. Actual albums with pictures in it? Thank goodness I live near 8 million drug stores that print photos in less than an hour.
~I redeemed the Martha Stewart Living subscription that came with the Martha Stewart Living Essentials GLOSSYBOX a few weeks ago. And guess what I got in the mail on Saturday? A bill for $24 for MSL. Grrrr. I called right away and the customer service lady looked it all up in her computer said she could “offer me” the free 6-month subscription that came with the box instead of having me pay the bill. Umm, yes, that’d what I’d like. I guess they included the incorrect cards in the GLOSSYBOX boxes? Whatever. It’s all settled now!
~I watched Big Brother last night (who do you think is going home), but haven’t gotten a chance to watch last night’s Breaking Bad (was it good??). I also got a chance to catch up on a few Challenge Rivals 2 episodes and my CT love continues. In other tv news, it appears that the season premier of Homeland has been leaked on the Internet! I can’t decided if I want to wait and watch in a few weeks or watch NOW.
That’s it from here! How was your weekend? What do you have going on this week? Any boxes coming??
I think time is up for McRae!!! We’ll see… how funny was the drill sargeant?! Poor Judd!!!
Oh I think I completely forgot Birchbox was coming this week and it has polish in it 🙂
Since I scrapbook I always have pictures here. My fav is shutterfly but I can also print them at home if I only need a couple which is what I will be doing during naptime for Noahs ‘family’ tree. It doesn’t have to be just pictures but alot like your about me project just on a tree setting. He colored it last night and we made leaves with everyones names on it but he wants pictures to go with the names so that is tonights project. Its his first multi-day project and he’s loving it.
Did you see the spoilers for who won POV? I saw those but haven’t looked to see who all is nominated so not sure who will be going home this week. This is not the final people that I was expecting when the game started.
I am sitting at a cancer treatment facility watching for hours as chemo drips into grandmas veins. Then we have to pick up more steroids which make her feel worse than the chemo. I thought this would be a good time to catch up with some fellow bloggers! Hoping to get home before the kids do and apprehensive about how much homework I will have to cajole my youngest into doing. They always give those big projects for young kids to do with their family. my kids lose interest and run off! What’s for dinner? Tacos? Something easy so I can get to work on the blog after dinner! Wow you get a lot of boxes! I feel sad when my mailbox is empty for too many days in a row, and I wish my boxes didn’t mostly all come the 3 rd week of the month! Looking at your list, I would guess I am getting Pixie Box this week. September’s Popsugar hasn’t shipped yet… I am antsy for it. Have you seen any spoilers? I hope you have a great week, and I hope to be back for Thursday thoughts!
I canceled Glossy Box and then decided I needed it after all, so I’m still waiting on the August box 🙂 I think other boxes will be awhile, but hopefully some orders from Etsy, etc. will arrive this week!!
Whaaa…why do you love CT?!?!
I do have photos in albums, but I scrapbook…or more importantly I “Project Life” when I can so I do get some of those photos out of the computer and into a binder/album.
You and I watch a ton of the same shows!! I like Judd the best on Big Brother as a person so I’m rooting for him. Either him or McCrae, but I don’t like McCrae as much as I used to. On The Challenge, I love CT, but ooohh, I also love me some Johnny Bananas too. 🙂 We also didn’t get to watch Breaking Bad last night but I saw someone post on FB today that it was really good so I can’t wait to watch it tonight!! Cannot wait for Homeland to return. Next to Breaking Bad it’s the best show on tv. We also watch Dexter but I’m over it now. Just want it to end! It’s hard to keep up with all of our shows. Do you watch Survivor? That’s starting up in a few weeks. Then Dancing with the Stars. So much to watch!!!
I didn’t send in the card but I emailed ms re glossybox and at first they were like, you don’t have an active subscription and when I attached the glossybox receipt they were like, oh, ok. You do now. I think a LOT if people aren’t going to get their magazines.
I assume you watched Breaking Bad by now – we watched it last night. Oh my gosh.
