Quick Questions before DSD

[Kiana]

1. What did you have for dinner last night?
Veggie noodles.... carrot one from Aldi, very yummy with a drizzle of honey.

2. Do you shop sales first for DSD or play the games?
Sales first!! Well, fill my cart and keep checking back...lol ...sometimes I don't check out till the end of the weekend.

3. Are you working right now?
Nope.... it's 9:25pm... but when you posted yes I was.... it was naptime for the littles.

4. Do you listen to music while you work? or podcasts?
Music.... Oh yes.... cocomelon, bounce patrol, the learning station, disney sound tracks... and then when I get sick of kids music I play country music. During nap I usually listen to book with one earpod in.

5. What's something good that happened to you this week so far?
I joined the gym.... I had to quit it like 10 years ago with all my health issues.

Congrats on being back in the gym!

1. What did you have for dinner last night?
BBQ Chicken Bacon Papadillas from Papa John's. Super quick takeout.

2. Do you shop sales first for DSD or play the games?
Shopping first!!! I go straight to the new releases. Then, I go to my wishlist. And then I get a reality check and start removing things from my shopping cart until I get close to the amount I budgeted for shopping. Once I've bought my goodies and set them to download, I head over to play games!

3. Are you working right now?
Nope - it's 9pm

4. Do you listen to music while you work? or podcasts?
Depends on what kind of work I'm doing. If it's something where I've got to be able to concentrate on numbers or words, I listen to music. Anything else, I'm usually listening to an audiobook. Right now, I'm about an hour and a half away from finishing Seanan McGuire's newest, "When Sorrows Come".

5. What's something good that happened to you this week so far?
It's more something that didn't happen to me. We celebrated my husband's birthday on Sunday with the kids and their families. Usually, after all the prep and activity, I'll have a pain flare and spend the next couple days in bed. But I was able to be up and moving around by noon on Monday with a pain level of only a 6, which is pretty darn miraculous.

OKAY that's awesome. So glad you didn't have a pain flare up!

1. What did you have for dinner last night? Tuesday I have a late class, from 7 to 10. I leave too early to want dinner before, and I get home too late to eat a real dinner then. I end up having a few snacks (mini meals?) rather than a real dinner. Can't even remember what I had!

2. Do you shop sales first for DSD or play the games? Maybe both? Depending on when the DSD section of the forum goes live, I might play games first or might check out the new releases. But even though I'll browse new releases right away, I won't check out until Saturday or Sunday.

3. Are you working right now? Right now it's 10 pm, so no.

4. Do you listen to music while you work? or podcasts? I'm a preschool teacher, so I listen to lots of little voices! When I lesson plan or do work for grad school I need silence. When I scrap or do housework I listen to audiobooks.

5. What's something good that happened to you this week so far? I finally had ALL of my kids in class this week! For the first few weeks of school I had several students out due to Covid cases and exposures.

So glad all the littles were there and healthy!

1. What did you have for dinner last night? Chicken pasta soup and cornbread

2. Do you shop sales first for DSD or play the games? This is my first DSD since I started scrapping again, but I'm sure I'll look at the boards first, then the store, fill my cart, compare it to my wish list, but won't check out until Sunday because I can't make up my mind

3. Are you working right now? Nope, too early - but this is my work-from-home day - so I will be soon.

4. Do you listen to music while you work? or podcasts? Depends, if I'm alone in the office I put on instrumental music - it's soothing and if someone walks in (parents or teachers) it's not distracting. If I'm working on my computer at home, I usually am streaming either music that I can sing to or binge-watch a series I've already watched so I can "listen" more than watch. Right now it's Criminal Minds.

5. What's something good that happened to you this week so far? Not quite this week, this month, but it's a biggie to me and I was making my hubby's breakfast this morning and just thinking about how thankful I am for it - my new duel fuel range. We had a glass top one that we've cracked the top 2x (replaced once) and for the last 4 years, I've cooked with just 2 burners on one side. My hubby and son installed it about 2 weeks ago - I LOVE this one!!! :wub::wub::wub::wub: and I'm so thankful for all the burners! Makes cooking a lot faster :w00t:

Oh that sounds like a fancy range. Congrats!!!!

5. What's something good that happened to you this week so far? Small but was able to put on jeans without pain....took a nasty fall a couple of weekends ago at Disney. Busted up both knees, stubbed toe (still can't wear a shoe on that foot), and skinned hands....I am a hot mess. I felt like I got hit by a truck from a little fall. Jeans are hard on my knees but I got them on this week. Prefer my shorts right now though since it is hot thankfully.

1. What did you have for dinner last night? Pumpkin soup & bread rolls. It was going to be pizza but I had a gastro reaction to some new foods over the previous two days so I was playing it a bit safe.

I found out I have dropped enough weight through Weight Watchers to have gone down 4-5 dress sizes and 3 whole shoe sizes since March 2020 (about 50 pounds/25 kilograms approx) so as soon as we aren't in lockdown I need to go and buy some new clothes and shoes
