BADA BING BADA BOOM

Check out the setup. Halloween and autumn sounds with slightly moving spooky pictures, puppy under the table and me using the new Samsung Galaxy tablet. This new toy makes writing and reading blogs a breeze. This is now my fourth week in a row and I love that.  

In other news, dig these two ALDI finds. Ten smackers each. They fold. Probably paint them the same yellow as the shed. And since I love writing, drawing and reading outdoors, I'll need to build a small writing table or find one on the cheap. 

Either works for me  

In other, other news, we looked at the outside of another house last week. There's an open house for it this week. Not sure if we'll go or not. Neither of us loves the location. We don't hate it, however ....

I dunno. We'll see. Price good. Inside from pictures good. Might just go to go.

Lastly, this week I'm working on structure. Mostly after work (at least for now). Because last week felt like my after work time wasn't spent well. Fixing that this week. Started with today when I got home. I went straight into chores, showered, made supper, took a few pictures and wrote. 

Bada bing, bada boom.

That's more like it. Right now, I'm sipping hot peach tea and listening to the spooky sounds on headphones as Tim plays D&D with the guys online. It's not a bad night, that's for sure. 

And that my Boogerbutts, is all that's fit to print. 

Huggs & Bugs,

- Me





Puppy PS: When I started writing the blog, there was one. By time I finished, there were two. I love that. Thanks for reading. Catch you on the flip side.

  1. Glad your tablet is working well. I have one but never use it for blogging. I need my trusty laptop!
    Great deal on the chairs!

  5. I never liked blogging from a tablet. I prefer my desktop and my keyboard. I always hate typing on a screen. I make a ton of typos.
    Nice chairs for a great price.

    1. Love my keyboard. It's bluetooth, purple and made by Logitech. Works great with the tablet. No typing on the screen needed. Though ... sometimes I write by hand with my pens and then the tablet turns that into typed words.

      Thanks. Love the price.

  6. Safari doesn't play nice with my Google account, so I don't blog from my tablet anymore.
    Check out the house, but - remember, only if you love it! You will know when you find the right one.

    1. My old Samsung stopped updating correctly and I stopped blogging on there long ago. Still draw on it though. This new tablet though, smooooooth as butter.

      We didn't hate the location. Just the one road we didn't like. Where we live now is MUCH worse. Much.

  7. you saved the best for last, a 2 dog bed, plus 2 dogs in it. I did not realize you have dogs. Dogs Rock and Rule... yay for the new tablet, perfect for your drawing skills.

  8. Wow, that's a great deal for those chairs. I like them. I love the idea of painting them too. And I'm starting to think fall too. A little bit. You asked about who makes that tea from my post- it's Bigelow. Have a great day. hugs-Erika

    1. Hey Erika! Same. I bought them to change them and change them I did! So fun. Thank you about the tea. I took a look at the local market and they didn't have it. Will check the other one that has more teas! Love me some tea. Huggs.

    1. How's being more productive after work going for you? What are some of the challenges and wins you've faced? I'm doing better in the mornings before and after work now. Feels better.

      Work in progress! I love that. Me too, Lori! Me too.

  14. Pups are snoozing peacefully. Isn't it funny how we always call them pups no matter their ages? Leave the chairs as they are.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Those chairs are a bargain! Such sweet puppies. I'm trying to make better use of my time, too. Go look at the house, what can it hurst?

    1. Such a good deal. We had to fix one, that's okay, we had the part. How goes using your time better? I'm now using the time before and after work better.

      We went to the open house only when we got there, house already pending and they didn't bother to do the open house. Or, remove the information online.

      That's okay, another one will pop up.

    1. Hey Kathy. I've never used an iPad. I see many have them though. Cheers.

  18. Once again, your tempting me with that Samsung tablet. I know I would love it too, just need to justify it :).
    Isn't it "funny" how easily unstructured time can disappear with nothing to show for it?

    1. I tell you, this was worth every penny. I even bought the cutest little bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Both light purple. The keyboard case that came with it, to me, not worth it.

      True about the time before and after work. Got that working well now. Very happy about that.

  19. If you like the house but not the location. you won't enjoy living there...nice finds and hello to the doggies!

    1. Hey! Yes, agree - only we didn't hate the location of this house. We just didn't like the one road near it. Where we live now, location wise is MUCH worse. Much.

  20. I think location is the most important part of house buying. You can always make changes to the house BUT you change the location.
    Glad you are liking your new tablet.
    I still prefer my nice big desk top computer! :)

    1. Hey Happy One! True words. However, we didn't hate the location. Just the one road. The inside was fantastic. Already pending. As for location, where wer are now is MUCH worse. Much.

  21. Good luck on your house hunting. I remember my realtor saying location, location, location. In fact, it seemed like a mantra for several of them. Love seeing your sweet pups, the chairs are a great find and the Halloween picture is awesome and spooky. I have some apps on my phone I have a great time with.

    1. Where we are now is much worse. Like I said, we didn't hate the location. Doesn't matter anyway, house already pending. It was just too nice to stay on the market long.

      Very cool on your Halloween apps. I love listening to spooky sounds.

      Happy Halloween and boogie boogie.

  22. It's about Location, location, location!
    If that's not good...you won't end up loving the house.
    Love the pups!

    1. We didn't have the new space, we just didn't love the one road near it. Either way, where we live now is MUCH worse. Much worse. That house though is pending now. The inside was too nice. It was never gonna last on the market long.

  23. I love Aldi's and you did well! Good luck on your house hunting- I agree with Donna- location, location, location!

    1. ALDI is so much fun for me because I love the produce at our location.

      Where we live now is VERY bad. We have to go and as soon as we can, we're gone.

  24. Good luck with your house hunting - you will know when you find the right one!
    Love the chairs.

    Halloween will be here before we know it!

  27. Neat chairs! I've been to Aldi occasionally, but never noticed anything like that. I'm usually on my way back from Trader Joe's though so don't have much time.
    My daughter luuvvs Halloween.
    Enjoy your new tablet! I seem to still need my laptop for blogging, but do like my iPad (old and glitchy as it's getting) for some other things.

    1. These were in the seasonal isle. then since two left, were moved to the end cap. I've heard that people don't like blogging from their Apple. I've not used one before. Sorry it got wonky.
