Here on HSN.

@shoelady60 and @oodiebom,

I will share something tomorrow. I am very upset about it this has to do with family. 😘
No worries crisis is over. 😎

Shoelady you will need a bottle of vino. 😘😎

@oodiebom,

Here is a picture of your pin I think. Oodie you can also use one of Heidi’s Cords to wear
as a necklace or use one of your necklace to wear the pin. I really like that. 😘

Wear comfortable shoes tomorrow the lines in OZ are long. I have a short run to do. 😎

I think I will cut Poppy a piece of turkey and call it a day for him. I would flip out if I gave
him something that would harm him thanks for the heads up. 😘 Oodie I do have something
I want to share with you and Shoelady60. I just don’t know how to do it. I will put it in a post
tomorrow.

One of my father’s favorite songs. 😘

Bobby Rydell
“Volare”

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let’s fly way up to the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we’ll find

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Let’s fly way up to the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we’ll find

Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings

Here’s some suggestions for you. I know you hate to shop and look for a parking space and then stand in a long line to check out. But, if you belong to a Wholesale Club, they have some very nice things all wrapped and ready to go. For instance, we were in Costco over the weekend (and I dread shopping on the weekend), but we lucked out with a great parking spot and it was a hop, skip and a jump to their sliding doors (mall shopping). Anyway, I wanted a gift for the couple who managed to put our siding up a couple of weeks ago when Eta hit us. Towards the back of the warehouse they had a bunch of items gift wrapped in see through cellophane that was real cute. Many choice at different price points such as cookies and an assortment of candies (lindt, and other brands) and it all sat in a ceramic dish that could be reused. There were other things as well like cheeses and crackers. Then there was a time when I was marketing and the fruit looked awesome. Since I needed some for us, I picked up some separate items like plums, oranges, apples, etc. and then grapefruit in a bag along with pears, etc.. I just so happened to have a cute basket at home and made up a fresh fruit basket with cheese from Aldi’s. For shopping on-line, here’s where I go: Amazon, Bed,Bath& Beyond; Wayfair, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, Etsy, EBAY, just to name a few. Another place I have been looking at is ghoplc.com. On Tuesdays they have items that are $10 or less and I also think they do this another day during the week. If you spend $50 or more you get free shipping. So, if you are purchasing more than one thing, this could work. For your info, Bed, Bath & Beyond also has a good cosmetic area (over 6 aisles) and their prices are quite low. You will have to find one in your area that has this. Not all their stores carry cosmetics. I find their prices lower than Walmart. Hope these ideas help. Oh, yes, one more gift idea. Box of cookies covered in Belgian Chocolate—-YUM….. 😃💖

We went shopping today and will go again tomorrow. I will be making the turkey Thursday late morning. Today, for us, was like shopping in Lancaster, Pa.. Tons of food all prepared by the Amish here in Florida. I did purchase another Dragon fruit, plums and blueberries. Hubby also found a huge Avocado when getting the mail. I surmise it’s from our neighbors who have a tree in their backyard. I already mentioned to hubby that I will take the pit and plant it to see if we get anything. Also, as I mentioned before, would love the cacti that flowers into dragon fruit.

By the way, instead of baking the fruit with the turkey during the last five or ten minutes, I may do a stir fry and then pour it over the turkey for an additional flavor. it should make for a nice sauce. At least I hope it does.

We weren’t able to watch “Yentl” last night. Suffice to say we do have the DVD. And, I think we have at least three DVDs of the “Wizard of Oz,” which also includes the 50th Anniversary.

Glad you are including your stepmom. I hope she isn’t celebrating the holiday alone. And, as for Poppy, I’m sure he would love those bones as long as there is some meat on them. But be careful. Those bones are not as thick as a meat one. I would hate to see him swallow a sliver of the bone the wrong way. Please be careful. Dogs do not chew things as thoroughly as we do.

I received Heidi’s skier in the mail today. So cute. Reminds me of Vermont even to the colors. Guess I will need to find something to pin it on to, though I could wear it as a pendant.

Well, back to the doldrums.

Chilly here in the ‘burgh also. We will be getting your rain tomorrow. Been looking online today for Christmas gifts. I really, really don’t want to be in the stores. When I still worked, I had all my shopping done by November 1. I hate sitting in traffic, looking for a parking spot, rude, pushy people, etc. And now with the virus, who knows when/what/where for shopping. I do money/gift cards for family, friends and teens. But I’ve had the same mail lady and hair stylist for 20+ years and running out of ideas. May just go the nice bottle of wine/liquor – we all need that for the year it’s been!🍷🍾🍸

Taking pies and wine to mom’s. She ordered her turkey from a local restaurant to help support the business. I know we will have enough to serve 12, that’s how mom always does it!

No bones for Jake but I know he will get a bite of everything else. He will be in heaven just smelling it all!🐶💗

Pushing Buttons

When somebody continues to open our old wounds on purpose, they must be told that their behavior is no longer welcome.

We’ve all had our buttons pushed to the point where we feel we can’t take it any more, and chances are, we’ve all pushed somebody else’s buttons, with or without knowing it. The button pusher may not be conscious of what they’re doing, but in the end the buttons belong to us, and we are the ones who must deal with what comes up. The more we take responsibility for our own feelings and reactions, the less tender these buttons will be.

We’ve all had the experience of having someone snap at us, seemingly out of nowhere. This happens when we unconsciously push a button in someone else we didn’t even know was there. This can happen with a complete stranger and sometimes with a person we’ve known and been close to for years. We ourselves may have a relationship with someone whose buttons we secretly like to push. Buttons are just soft spots that have been touched one too many times, and they symbolize some pain that needs to be acknowledged and healed. This may be a wound from childhood, or some recent trauma, that we haven’t adequately tended. Whatever the case, when our buttons get pushed, the person who most needs our attention and caring is us, and blaming the button pusher only distracts us from finding a true resolution to our suffering.
At the same time, if someone continually opens our wounds so that they never have time to heal, we are well within our rights to set a boundary with that person.

Compulsive button pushers, who seem to find pleasure or satisfaction in hurting us, are not welcome in our personal space. In the end, knowing where our buttons are enables us to do the work necessary to heal. Freedom comes when we deal with the pain behind the button, thus disconnecting our automatic reaction to being pushed.
