The Best Thing About Today... Showing 12,651-12,700 of 12,968

I went to the store first thing this morning and they had toilet paper! Woohoo! I've never been so excited about toilet paper in my life. I hadn't bought any in a while, so it's a big relief! :)

[Jordan]

Congrats!

I’m hoping to find some TP this weekend because I haven’t bought any in awhile either.

I’m annoyed with Amazon, or maybe just the third party seller where I ordered a case of soap last week. Because I don’t have prime, their shipping has gotten really annoying. The seller only just created the shipping label yesterday. Then today they reimburse me for most of my order because “there was only one bar of soap left”. I’m just a little ticked, because I ordered six bars last week. Wish I could order it direct from the company, but I can’t. Anyway, I’ll stop venting, today, it seems, is a day for frustration and venting.

But, I’m still alive and well, as is Adrien, so that’s good! Lol.

Hang in there, Jordan. I guess one bar of soap is better than none and will last a while. Sucks, though. You could try a different website.

I've been avoiding Amazon. So many companies are doing free shipping right now and are desperate for business, so I figure I'll support the little guys. I've bought soap and shampoo and lotion and tea and deodorant and on and on. Basically, anything to keep from having to go out and shop.

Now if only I could buy bourbon online! Unfortunately, it's not allowed where I live.

Yeah, it's not that bad. I'm mostly stocked up right now.

We have yet to come across that particular Golden Fleece. Lucky for us we keep a pretty good supply on hand.

Amazon is a complete mess right now. That's the downside of so many unregulated third party vendors. Almost everything I order immediately gets a new much extended ship date and the prices are sky high on both items and shipping. Ugh.

[Josh]

Best thing today was a swim! Sunshine, water, flowers. :-)

[Jordan]

Yeah, Amazon is a mess is an understatement. Lol. I’m planning to order everything I can’t easily get elsewhere once this craziness is over, and everything else I’ll order elsewhere, and then I’ll just be very selective about what I buy from them. It’s just that I love their wishlist feature and mine is so long. I’ve actually been culling it of things I’ve had on there forever that I just need to accept that I either don’t need or will never buy. Especially used books that are expensive and hard to find! Do I really want these things? Probably not. Do I have the space for them? Probably not. Lol.

[Jordan]

And I just read an article that says the post office could go belly up come June if something isn’t done to help them out. That’s the last thing we need right now.

Oh, well done, your daughter! A five month old bull terrrier/Jack Russell cross must be a ADORABLE sight, too.

I had missed this post, LOL! And congratulations ;-)

[Loretta]

I have the day off! We closed the office for the end of tax season! Ha. This is the weirdest tax season ever. But now I have a three day weekend, and I get to do my favorite thing. Stay home and read ;)

[Jordan]

That sounds wonderful, Loretta!

[Jordan]

Week two of my meditation class tonight! I need to get used to meditation, but I’m enjoying the class so far. Also, it leads me right into a three-day weekend as Monday is Patriots Day for us and is a holiday for which the library is closed. It is also normally the day the Boston Marathon is run, but obviously that’s not happening this year.

WOOT!!! Congrats!

Congratulations! I'm impressed!

About 3 years to go for us...

[Loretta]

Now I can save up money to re-stucco it.

[Jordan]

Yay for a future restucco!

For me, it’s Saturday, I have the day off and it looks like it’s going to be warm and sunny! I’m about to take Adrien for a long walk soon as I get out of bed.

Also, I got my new curtains yesterday, and I’ll put them up later today too!

[Jordan]

It’s a beautiful day outside! Sunny and warm! Perfect for an early morning walk with Adrien. :-)

Wow! Loretta, many congratulations! What an accomplishment. Celebrate this weekend. :)

Fun! I hope your curtains are amazing!

I just bought new curtains too! We bought our house a year ago and it has really drab grey linen-ey curtains. They're fine, but I think they're pretty ugly and boring and I've been jumping to replace them. You can get new curtains for pretty cheap and anything would be better than what we have (in my opinion!), so we had a spree on cheap curtains and got bright yellow ones for the bedroom and bright red ones for my room. I am so excited. We've got a stack of packages sitting by the front door quarantining, including the curtains, so next week I'll put them up and it will be so great. :)

29 years to go for us...
:D

[Jordan]

I’ve had sheer red curtains in my bedroom for ten years, and I changed them to blue. I couldn’t find the brand I wanted so these are a different fabric and are more sheer than the red ones. ... it’s going to take some time to get used to cool blue light over warm red light filtering into my room, I think. I’ve half a mind to swap them back already! I am planning to save the red ones for a future office/writing space, if I don’t rehang them in the bedroom first! Lol.

Otherwise, yay for redecorating!

I need new sheets and am thinking about getting a new mattress to go with them...

I believe this is about making voting by mail impossible for November. Trump has already stated he will veto ANY efforts to bail out the Postal Service.

The best thing about today is it's Sunday and I'm mostly taking it off! YAY for weekends. What a fabulous concept.

[Jordan]

Hadn’t thought about voting by mail... that’s... yeah... he would do that... sigh...

Personally, I think AFTER the election, there would be a miraculous bailout for the Post Office, one that involves making it entirely privatized, I don't doubt.

I did! I stayed in bed and read :)

Yay! Enjoy your day. You have certainly earned it.

Finally catching up on a STUFFED in-box.

I'm hoping this is a sign my attention span is steadying again.

Mangoes!

They're in peak season here in South Florida. I've been liberating them from the vacant lot behind my sister's house. Wow; they're just fantastic. I dread the day they sell the lot and cut down the trees.

They are fantastic even bought in a shop, I cannot imagine how they are directly from a tree! Enjoy them!

Here how to make the perfect mango lassi according to the «Guardian». Mango lassis are one of my favourite things in the world.

Yum, and I've got all of the ingredients -- but no blender! The movers lost the jar when I moved in April.

Funny enough, that was actually my mom's blender, which I had borrowed because the movers also lost the jar to my blender when I moved in 2017! So I have two blender bases and no jar. And they're both too old to buy a replacement jar that fits. So I really have to buy two blenders - one for me and one for my mother - when the stores open. Although she'll probably be OK if we just share one again.

(And I guess it's about time I just throw out the bases, but I keep expecting the jars to suddenly appear in a shoebox or something.)

Here's a mystery for Josh (or maybe Kit Holmes): what the heck are the movers doing with all of the lost/stolen blender jars?!

[KC]

Mango lassi is a favorite of mine too. Thank you for the recipe, Antonella! :-)

Oh wow! Aren't you lucky! Enjoy! Fresh mangoes are about the best thing ever. My brother lives in northeastern Australia and the mangoes I have had at their house are one of the best things I have ever eaten. Memorably amazing. I've been having imported mangoes lately and while they are yum because they are mangoes, I dream of having fresh mangoes again.

I love mango lassis, too! I have never tried making one, but I always order one when we have Indian for dinner. Thanks for the recipe. I will try it! :)

[Antonella]

You are welcome about the recipe. It's very easy!

[Alison]

Antonella wrote: "You are welcome about the recipe. It's very easy!"

It looks easy. I will add some extra mangoes to my grocery order this week. Wow, I love online grocery shopping right now! I will report back on my efforts.

I could go for one of those. I'll have to keep an eye out for mangoes.

TBTAT: New KJ Charles today! New Cat Sebastian yesterday! I am swimming in riches.

Getting the paperback of Blind Side!

I was waiting for it and it never arrived. I thought that the delay was connected to Coronavirus, so I didn't check my order. When I finally decided to investigate the matter, I found out that apparently I had never ordered it...

By the way the paperback edition is not under the different editions of the books listed on GR. Maybe someone could add it?
