Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #550

Messy Messy Fail - I was supposed to clean up my room today.  That absolutely did not happen.

Tidy Victory - It was a nice, mild day out so my middle son and I went outside to continue the garden clean up.  Next item on the agenda - Christmas lights!

Messy Messy Fail - I've still got unplanted perennials in pots littering my driveway.  It's my toxic trait - I buy plants but then don't plant them.

Tidy Victory - We have warm days coming up, let's get these plants in the ground!

Messy Messy Fail - I do believe I've run out of emails to create accounts in order to get free 7-day trials to watch Bills games on the different streaming services.  

Tidy Victory - I haven't missed a Bills game yet this season!

Messy Messy Fail - I wasn't able to watch all of my Twilight saga movies before Halloween.......

Messy Messy Fail - The amount of ticks I am picking off of my dogs is insane - 12 alone tonight!

Tidy Victory - I've gotten pretty good at picking off ticks.

Messy Messy Fail - Should I throw the plants out that I purchased in July to put into hanging baskets that are dead and shriveling on my back deck out into the garbage?

Tidy Victory - I've grown ok with THROWING THINGS OUT!

Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Link Party #544

Messy Messy Fail - How far behind can I get?  Over a months worth of Happiness is Homemade parties!

Messy Messy Fail - An important reminder today - put ALL appointments with times on my calendar.

Tidy Victory - Had a lovely time hitting up some fall craft shows over the weekend for some goodies for myself.  Here's to me!

Messy Messy Fail - Would you believe there are still several pots of plants (mostly dead) that I never planted this summer?

Tidy Victory - The lawn looks fantastic!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #542

Messy Messy Fail - So many good shows to watch, so little time.  I also have trouble picking one show to focus on!

Tidy Victory - I've decided to focus on The Crown - what a great show.  And what a little jerk Prince Charles was.

Messy Messy Fail - I had heard that if you bring an item back to Bath and Body, even without a receipt, because you don't like it or whatever, they will exchange it for another product.  I had also heard the same for burnt out wallflowers.  It was proven untrue at my most recent trip to Bath and Body.

Tidy Victory - Thank goodness for mothers who have 10 extra Bath and Body wallflowers at their house.

Messy Messy Fail - So what if there are still several giant bags of mulch waiting to be spread in the garden outside?

Tidy Victory - I made a very yummy dinner of turkey Swedish meatballs tonight - although I admit I didn't make them very lightened up - no low fat sour cream here!
