I don't care about not going places. As an introvert with some level of social anxiety (not a diagnosis per se, just shy/nervous), though, I HATE HATE HATE HATE working from home. I feel so invaded. It is also impossible to care for 3 kids and their digital learning AND work my 8 hours a day...

I just wanted the little 3 packets of yeast container (like an ounce of yeast) on Clicklist, but that was all out so they gave me a giant jar. I really wasn't trying to hoard, it was just the only yeast the store had!

I will definitely check that out for the future. If our jobs remain stable, I should finally be able to start attacking the student loan debt and it would make it so much better if I could pay more towards the higher interest rate but smaller amount loans.

I heard worries by some colleagues that if you continue to pay that you could make a problem because there would be "double" payment or something like that. Seems easier not to pay. I am not in PSLF, I still don't plan to make payments even though I am employed. I think it is better to save...

Salsa chicken...chicken and salsa in the slow cooker. You can use it to make taco, taco salad, quesadillas, etc. I make this but with BBQ sauce instead of hot sauce https://www.food.com/recipe/loaded-potato-and-buffalo-chicken-casserole-493413 Asian stir fry

Before DH and I had kids, we tried to get through AFI's 100 greatest movies. We never quite finished, it might be fun to start or to watch with the kids (the appropriate ones, of course) https://www.afi.com/afis-100-years-100-movies/ I just checked the list and looks like I've seen at least...

We almost had to cancel or postpone our trip to Universal last month. First, my in-laws have been doing so well, healthwise; FIL was diagnosed with cancer about a week or two after I made our plans for the trip. We finally reached the point where we thought he would be stable enough for...

DH and I were supposed to go on a short cruise for our first anniversary. (We eloped and only had a long weekend in a cabin a couple of hours away from home as our honeymoon, so this would have been our first vacation together.) Anyhow, he was deployed. We didn't have trip insurance (which was...

We buried my DH's grandmother last month, and it struck me that the funeral director was very meticulous in asking if the family wanted her glasses and if the family wanted to be there when the casket was closed. In other words, it seems like standard protocol is for the family to decide what...

I have been reading along and am still praying for your family.

I really hope it is available in the U.S.!

The main pool at Portofino is great! There is a children's splash area, a sandy/beachy area, and a fun pool slide that lets out into water that is not too deep.

You can buy it and have it stored until the end of the cruise. You just can't have it available in your stateroom to drink during the cruise. https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/faq/ports-port-adventure-excursions/duty-free-limits/

You can also add a stabilizer (like gelatin) to homemade whipped cream to make it last longer

Ours was renovated newly and not near the part of the resort that was being renovated currently.

No more than usual, the fridge, regular freezer, and pantry are pretty full, but we have 5-7 people living at our house, so it goes fast. I was just at Costco on Saturday, so we are a little extra stocked up on toilet paper and junk food LOL My kids are into Carnation Breakfast essentials and...

From my understanding (we were there last week), a lot of the hotel is already done. I know the east wing was done. We were in the east wing in a refurbished room. We had not one problem. The only minor inconvenience was the main pool closure, which should be done by early March (we were...

We spent a week there last week (and about a week last year). We found lots of things to do and didn't even really ride any rides one day. However, I personally am glad we waited until our youngest were 6 and over 42" for our first visit. As much as we love Universal, with height...

You can definitely upgrade later. I got one Preferred Pass and 4 seasonal passes for my family April 2019. We just went this last week, and we upgraded two of them to Power so they could attend the concert at Guest Services outside the park. Then, I goofed and forgot our last day was still...

I prefer all cakes to be cold as well. I like eating cake straight from the fridge. My DH had a cheesecake at the Palm last week that was flown in from NY, I remember it was delicious, but don't remember the temperature. I don't think it was straight from the fridge cold.
