Something New for the Week

We have been doing something new for the week for the past 4 years now.
Here are a list of things that we do... (I am doing this from memory of what we did for the past 4 years!)

Attended a kid's basketball game (only first time counted)
Went for an estate sale (only first time counted)
Went to restaurants that we've never been to (we have tried so many...)
Check out a store or mall that we've never been to (we love this!)
Play a new game (on-line or board game)
Check out a new garden or park (we love this!)
Drive to a nearby lake (this is a seasonal wow!)
Go for a open house - property, fitness center or animal shelter
Go to Canton First Monday Flea Market
Go to an Art Festival - like Cottonwood Art Festival
Try out a new recipe (another favorite)
Invite someone to our place for dinner - someone who has never been to our place

Fun Online Games

They say it's for kids but who cares!

Addictive
They have lots of ads on top and on the side. But the games are really fun.
Try the Gem Swap 2.

How about Meeblings? Quite silly at first but then it's all about training and strategy. Just don't go to bed with their high-pitched voices in your head.  I got stuck at level 37 - see if you can help me out.

Fishing
Just let down the fishing line and catch as many fishes as you can. It's almost the same as the one at Chuck E. Cheese's.

Simple Games
Pretty pastel drawings and very safe.

March of the Pengiuns
See if you can keep the egg safe. You would understand better if you have watched the documentary.

Nintendo Games of the 80s
Frogger, Shoot the Duck, and many more....

Stray Dog


New this week - No. 2 

There is a stray dog in my house. My neighbor across the street brought the dog into my house. She said that she thought it was my new dog. The dog is black and white and does not have a tag. It has a collar but no tag. So what do I do now? I don't know - this is new to me.
 

Moom

New this week - No. 1 

Natural hair waxing. We went down to Natural Grocers to see what they have that is a natural hair removal. We bought this small kit for about $5.

Name of product: MOOM.

We brought it back and I became the guinea pig. I opened the package and read it. Sounds really simple. I opened up the bottle and got the stick ready to apply. It was a very sticky substance made mainly out of sugar!

So Ivy applied it to under my arms. And I made the first mistake. I put my arms down. Boy! After a little effort of not pulling my skin apart, I put on the cotton cloth and got ready to rip it all off. It really worked! Give and Take. It gave me lots of white cotton fibers and took off what it was supposed to take.

Pain - Of course, it was painful. But we had lots of laugh.

Was the product worth it? Yes. I think I can use it another 30 times.
Will I use it again? Yes, but I need to remember not to put my arms down.

Get some discount with this drug card!

My good friend found this and I thought it would be a good thing to share with all those who need it.
