Been busy….

mylifemyrulesyarncoffeeandthensomeLeave a comment

I’ve been busy since I last posted. Here are some things that I have done while away.

Here is something I love to make but my stomach hates me for eating too much of when I do. This is what I call barley risotto, it has onions, mushrooms, butter, chicken broth, leftover roasted chicken and yes barley.

Unfortunately my daughters kitty, Bruce, got down and sick, come to find out he has some chronic illness that if stressed enough will bring it on. Poor thing was sick for about a week and really loved medicine time…we mixed it with wet food. He is such a character.

We adopted this cutie, the stressor to kitty :(. Ended up being too much for our whole family, other critters included so we had to give him back. ;(.

Our sweet momma dog, Cleo, left us a few weeks after we got crazy dog. It was very hard for my hubby and I, especially my hubby since he had had her since a pup.

Our sweetie, Dexter, passed away a few weeks ago. Come to find out since ferrets have so much inbreeding they don’t live very long due to tumors or other illnesses. We think he had a tumor on his pancreas.

We got this cutie, Nutmeg, seeing that our other ferret baby seemed to be lonely and depressed due to his brother passing. She is alot of fun and crazy in a very little package. Lol

WIPS and projects is progress…

Will explain them more later! Bye for now!

KnitFlixing Anyone?

mylifemyrulesyarncoffeeandthensomeLeave a comment

To knitflix

I personally knit-crochet and fix (Netflix) or watch tv (Hulu, regular tv, etc.). Its nice to hear that the craft of knitting/crochet is growing with the younger crowds.

I can hardly do anything else nowadays but crochet/knit, Im obsessed. I really am obsessed, I think about it all the time. I want to do it all the time. Sitting still without yarn and a hook or needles in hand is very difficult to even stand anymore. I know that this is almost sad or maybe a problem but I try to keep it appropriate. Lol. There are days that I fo put off my chores for it too, like today. I am starting to get some done, but another reason is the weather is crappy and I do have a migraine as well. It is hard to even concentrate with that going on.

As my pics show, I am knitting or crocheting and flixing sometimes with the love of a furry. I do miss them, we only have the small white/orange one left….my daughters kitty.

Today’s pondering 🤔

mylifemyrulesyarncoffeeandthensomeLeave a comment

So, after hubby and the kids leave, I busied myself cleaning some. We needed to rid boxes in the living room and move some things out of the way for the carpets to be steam cleaned. The place we are renting requires us to have it done every 6 months prior to our 6 months inspection….granted we only moved in August, technically (the hubby did, kids and I came in September). Then I worked a few hours, ran to the pharmacy and back and did final preparations for the cleaners.

So I’m watching one of my favorite shows, Law and Order, and on that channel it keep advertising these reality shows. The definition of reality tv is: type of television programming that aims to show how ordinary people behave in everyday life, or in situations, often created by the program makers, which are intended to represent everyday life. Definition of reality tv

In my opinion that is a bunch of horse pucky! (To put it nicely).


These people are on there they are not acting normal, they are going to extremes!


And then of course you have the celebrity reality shows, like they need money and fame??


Then the shows are going to extremes! I mean really are there seriously people out there looking for people that are in jail to date/marry when they get out?? Or do they pay these people??

Ok, so that is my ponderance for today.
