My New Project

 Hi Everyone!

I thought you might like to see what I'm busy doing lately.  It's a huge project so it will take a seriously long time (maybe years) to finish.  I've been wanting to do this for a long time.  

Now that we are in a digital world I've been wanting to scan all the boxes of photos we have. Do you have boxes of pics too?  We have 7 of these plus a bunch of photo albums.

 

I had to buy a scanner.  We used to have a scanner/printer but it was a pain in the butt.  Always needing to be realigned.  We gave it away a few years ago.  Now we just have a printer.  So of course now I decide that I want to scan pics.  LOL  I bought this at a Thrift Store for $2.  It's huge.  Installing it on my computer took 1 1/2 days.  My computer did not like it.  lol  Finally I got them to get along and the scanner works great.

Hubs works night shift so he sleeps during the day.  Scanner is very noisy so I only scan when he has off and we aren't busy, which isn't often so this project will take a long time.

In early 90's every pic I had got water damage when my apartment flooded. So I salvaged what I could because I just couldn't throw them all out.  I have a box of pics with damage like this.

This is the only pic I have left of Fred Bunny.  I just couldn't throw it away.

A few years ago we had a hot water pipe leaking under house.  We didn't know and it had been leaking for a while.  Well all the photo boxes were on the floor in a closet.  I guess the heat and moisture got to those pics too.  When I went through the boxes to sort the pics out, 3 boxes were stuck together.  I was so sad.  😞  Hours I spent carefully peeling them apart.  Lots of them are damaged and look like Fred's pic.  I'm still going to scan them and crop them the best I can.

So this will keep me busy in my spare time.  I'll do another update when I finish.  It won't be anytime soon.  lol

Have a great day!

 Good Morning!

I love ice cream.  My fave is chocolate marshmallow with fluff not mini marshmallows.  I also love sundaes + banana splits.  I like traditional splits with vanilla, chocolate + strawberry ice cream, pineapple, strawberry + chocolate toppings, wet walnuts, whipped cream, 3 cherries.  What's your fave?

And in case you are wondering if I eat all of my banana splits, the answer is yes.  LOL

Have a great day!

Some Life Updates

Hi Everyone!

 

I haven't done an update post in a while.  Probably gonna be long.  Grab a coffee or tea and here we go:

I had my cholesterol checked in October.  It was super high.  I was eating really well so not sure why.  

Took a detour on my weight loss journey in November + December.  Partly because of the holidays and I was a little pissed off about my cholesterol so my mindset was why bother to eat right. 

Day after Xmas my son got Covid.  A few days later I got sick.  A few days after that my hubs got it.  We had mild cases but we were all really sick.  Seemed to take a long time to feel better.  

I had a Cardiologist appointment end of December.  They left a message that it was cancelled and to call and reschedule but I was too sick.  I still haven't called.  I really am not looking forward to going since he will be upset about my cholesterol.

I tried to get back to eating better after I recovered from Covid but that didn't work.  This week I'm trying again.  I cancelled WW (Weight Watchers).  All the WW people I follow have switched to ITrackBites.  I tried it out before I got rid of WW.  They have a free program.  I liked it.  App is set up like WW.  

In order to get the same program I had on WW I had to sign up for a year.  It's way cheaper than WW. I was paying $20/month.  iTrackBites is $30/year.  

App has a few features that I love that WW didn't have.  I can see how many calories I have eaten.  I was shocked to find out that on my good eating days that I'm barely getting 1000 calories.  Also has notifications (not sure if that's what they are called) that show how many points I have left for the day without opening up app.  Doesn't sound like much but these features are super helpful to me.

 I made a Valentine's Day video but I forgot to add at the end that I kicked hubs butt in Haunted Golf.  

We have been looking for some day trips that we haven't done.  Found a few now we need to have spring weather and some free time.  lol

I'm thinking of doing a Weight Loss Journey Wednesday blog post.  I'll take pics of everything I eat to keep me accountable.  Haven't thought it all the way through yet but it probably will happen next week.

This has gotten long so if I think of more stuff I'll put it in another post.

Have a great day!

Foto Friday

 Hi!  Welcome to Foto Friday!  Today are a few random pics from a beach trip.  We go to the beach a lot just not during the summer during the day....too hot + crowded.  I love walking on the beach.  There are always different things washing up on the sand, boats going by and sometimes dolphins.

Have a nice day! - Kim 👽
