Oh goodness, I couldn’t have gone two weeks without doing laundry. Hubby took what I he and I needed to clean to a local laundromat. I did my first load in the new washer this morning. It was fun! The lid is like a window, so I enjoyed peeking in there every time I heard something new going on. When it finished we hubby and I, and our oldest and his girlfriend headed over to my hubby’s parents’ house for a game day and lunch. We’re home now, and I need a nap. When I’m done, I’m going to use the new dryer for the first time. It has a door that you can see through too, so I’m going to watch it spin for awhile. I’m going to have to keep the owners manuals really close as I’m going to need help learning how to use them!

Today our youngest and Gilbert are moving into my brother’s house in the Portland area so he’ll have a shorter commute to his new job. I won’t be having Gilbert anymore while he’s at work, but I think they’ll be here most weekends. I’m have sad withdrawal symptoms from missing and being separated from Gilbert. 😢

I have never had or heard of orange wine before. I’ll have to remember to look for some next time I go into a grocery store. For Plus Size Day, I wish they’d lower the prices of clothes to match regular sizes. Now that I’m not plus size anymore, it’s so unfair that plus sizes cost more! I loved the no on the Mad Hatter Day, especially the part about the history of the “mad as a hatter” saying. I don’t have much German heritage at all, but the spelling of my first name is the German spelling. My dad was stationed in Germany before he married my mom, and learned of the name Monika while he was there. He liked it and hoped one day he’d have a little girl to name Monika. Be careful what you wish for, because here I am! I am a big noodle fan too, of just about any kind of pasta. Yummy! 😋

Sending some sleepy hugs. I haven’t even sent my gifts yet, since I was busy most of the morning. I’ll get my nap and send my gifts after I wake up. Bixby sends sleepy hugs too. He’s resting today after playing all week with Gilbert! 🤗🤗🐶😴😴🍝🎩💖🌻🍁
