I went to a peddlers flea market at the county fair grounds yesterday. What a lovely day. I'm taking the last two personal paid days before the dreaded blackout in retail starts. Lol
I came home with a linen color lace bodice tunic. It's so girly :) A red xmas plaid reversible sleeveless duster. Oh to dress up all things xmas! Two crystal long necklaces. One which has a very big antique crystal hanging on it. Beer-rita and ceviche for lunch. |

I bought some Airborne, mouthwash (coupon!), lip stain (another coupon!), cat food (both wet and dry) and donuts from Allie's. One of them is for my employee who is working her last day in my store and will start running her own store on the 1st. It's an exciting time for her!
I forgot the Bacon & Cheddar Cheez-Its though. |
Coffee. I bought coffee. Everyone around me should be thankful...
|
Nothing yet...I'm getting a free oil change. Yay me.
It's raining or else I'd get a car wash too. Oh well. Rain check! |
Job Lot haul: Belly Flops, Cheez-Its, thermal gloves, a men's (because anything warm and designed to be used outside is always men's as if women don't ever work outside....pffft) fleece lined hoodie, an O'Keefe's value pack with lip balm, body lotion and hand cream and a small high powered light for work.

Actually it was on Cyber-Monday. Two Ancestry DNA kits. One for a customer who was adopted and is looking for his family and one I might use. As an only child of 64 years, I am not sure how I would feel about a sudden sibling from an indiscretion by my father years ago.

As a treat, I found out I was Irish. I didn't expect that but it explains my skin and how it responds to the sun. I thought I was Asian but I'm not. Not even a teeny weeny bit. My almond shaped eyes come from either the Portuguese or the Native American in me. Both are small percentages but it's a dominant feature and the only thing that makes sense. I'm also West African. This didn't surprise me at all. There's other stuff in there too. I am, literally, a woman of the world. As for finding siblings, you can opt out of having your results made public and, therefore, linkable. |

Oh I want to do this. From my knowledge I have a small amount of Cherokee Indian. (Probably very small) Irish, and possibly Norwegian. I know my skin practically glows in the dark lol. But I have a lot of family I don’t know so I’m sure there’s a lot of surprises. |

I took both 23andMe and Ancestry and am glad I did. 23 gave me more details about my European ancestry and gave me a health or wellness report. Ancestry gave me more details about my African ancestry. Both reports were the same, but the depth of details were different. I guess more European descendants are at 23 and more African descendants are registered at Ancestry? I understand your hesitation, especially since this is the beginning stages of these DNA reports being used to catch suspected criminals, but it doesn’t bother me, at least not as much as me not knowing more about my ancestors. |
Don't forget that you have to opt in for them to use the data. Read the fine print!
Yesterday, I bought the fur babies their Christmas toys. They don't get them until the day, though. I also got stuff for work and some food stuffs. |

I have to make a run to Lowes, Home Depot and Tractor Supply today. Lowes has a great sale on a 1200 vehicle battery charger/tire inflator/inverter. I bought it online yesterday before they sold out. Received an email it is ready for pick up. My old Sears Diehard Platinum 1100 died. Actually, it is only the battery ... thinking about buying just a new battery for it. It is a really good one but the brand new 1100's have become too pricey. I keep one of these in my truck. What a life saver they are!! I don't feel safe without one. Off the main road, this several miles long pig trail road to my home is poorly paved, has faded out centerline and side paint, zero lights except for an occasional home, hilly and very curvey.

Velvet Pumpkins
I bought an adorable velvet pumpkin at the grocery store this morning that is going to make a great pin cushion.
https://createandbabble.com/wp-conte...9/DSC_0119.jpg Annnnnd, it was only 99 cents! I’ve seen these things priced at 20 bucks or more. The one I got this morning is a deep cranberry color. I’m going back tomorrow or Wednesday and getting the rest of them. :poc-cool: |
Smart plugs and two smart dinners!

Books. Stencils. Daubers. Stamps. Punch. With eyelet attachment! Washi flakes. Washi tape. Two rolls. Ephemera. Metal butterflies. I looked hard at the Ottlites but I already have a couple so I didn't really need another one.

I bought a book...
Automating Inequality: How High Tech Tools Profile, Police, and Punish The Poor (Virginia Eubanks, St. Martins Press, published January 23rd, 2018). I've also been reading from blogs authored by those in the fields of social sciences, sociology, nursing, economic sciences, communication (et al), which I found recently over on: Editage (they have a list of top blogs to read during the 2019 calendar year). |
