Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
My girls did not want to get rid of any of their stuffed animals.
So my husband put them in the attic. Oh, remember the beanie baby phase? We have those too!
I do have a really special doll house that my mother in law assembled for my oldest daughter. It is gorgeous! It’s furnished beautifully too.
Their American girl dolls are up there. I have no idea what else of theirs is up there.
All of our Christmas decorations are in the attic.
You’re right, Bridger! We collect so much stuff, don’t we?
I did our closets awhile back. The attic is another story.
My girls are in small apartments so I don’t think they have the space for their stuff.
Hahaha,
I bet your husband and sons had fun with their old toys.
I have to tell you that I did not like Ken when I was a young girl but I thought G.I. Joe was totally cool! 😊
When my mom asked me if I wanted Ken for my Barbie, I told her no because I used to take my brother’s G.I. Joe to be her date! 😄
I loved my brother’s Lionel train set, also hot wheels and match box cars. Oh, the Tonka trucks too!
My girls had a few matchbox and hot wheels cars too.
I left a message for housekeeping to do a deep clean tomorrow.
What a great donation! Kids love sleeping with stuffed animals. I bet the kids at the shelter slept with them every night.
I don’t think that I ever got an animal out of one of those claw machines. You were good! I had to buy my girls stuffed animals.
No telling what else is in my attic.
My kids were so attached to certain stuffed animals.
So badly that if they had a sleepover at a friend’s house and they forgot to pack it they would call and ask my husband or me to bring it to them!
One or two of them were taken to college with them! LOL
They were practically rags by then. I sewed them up a few times. Once they were repaired they were happy again.
Those animals went from their beds to church pews, restaurants, sleepovers, movie theaters to universities!
I would do a deep cleaning too! I bet your uncle was grossed out.
I will be glad when her lease is up. She has a new apartment building picked out with an elevator and indoor parking.
She said that she didn’t think she needed to put on her snow boots.
Wrong move on her part and she slipped. She’s sore, a bit bruised and said she will never try to go down the stairs in slippers ever again!
The slippers had slip proof soles but obviously they aren’t made for ice and snow.
My southern daughter is experiencing cold winter weather for the first time!
Suppose she would have had her dog with her!
He’s a strong dog. He pulls on the leash.
She is going to have to be more disciplined with her dog.
She does wear her snow boots to walk him.
Glad your daughter is ok from slipping on the steps.
Live and learn, right? She isn’t in her apartment in Baton Rouge, Louisiana anymore!
She had a walk up apartment in college but didn’t deal with ice and snow on the steps!
She was saying that she finds it a pain to have to put on snow boots all of the time.
I bit my tongue. I wanted to say, “You moved to Colorado, honey!” LOL
I was kind, polite and kept my mouth shut because it sounds like her fall made her realize that slippers aren’t outdoor shoes in Colorado during snow season!
Oh, I was tempted! 😊 I managed to keep my mouth shut.
This is my daughter that is the ‘diva!’
She is into fashion! Not so much, practical. She loves cute socks, cute slippers, etc.
She said to me, Well, it was so cold. I thought that I could go unlock the gate quickly and come back to my hot cup of coffee. Geeeez!
(yes, my feet did get snowy and wet when I wore my crocs to take out the compost last week 🙄🤣)
Do crocs prevent slipping? I know that you got wet but you didn’t slip.
LOL, forgive me ignorance! I really don’t know. I have never lived in a snowy area.
Your description is exactly how my daughter felt. She looked at putting on snow boots as a PITA!
Crocs makes boots, all weather!
WOMEN'S BOOTS
Comfortable and stylish boots for women.
From cute rain boots to winter boots and booties, this is where fashion and function collide.
Lol.
I didn't know that.
Remember the very first crocs? They were clogs. Now they have all sorts of styles in crocs.
Oh my gosh, I just looked up the history of Crocs. The first pair was in Boulder, CO.
My daughter is in Denver.
I have no idea if we will have any grandchildren.
I haven’t even thought about what to do with our things in the attic.
I adore the doll house that my in laws made for my daughter.
Doll houses are so beautiful, aren’t they?
The miniature furniture is really pretty too.
My kids kept silly little things. Most of it is in the attic but the other day I was looking in the pantry for something and I came across all of their pez candy dispensers!
Attic, yes but we don’t have basements here.
I rented a converted attic when I was single.
It was actually pretty roomy and nice.
I didn’t need a lot of space. Just my kitty shared the space with me.
I didn’t even own a car then. I walked, rode my bike or took public transportation. Ahhhh...simpler times.
Do you have a basement?
Attics here were common in old houses but have either been converted into living space if they are large enough or sealed off and filled with insulation.
