2020 - I AM so over you!!!





So....  I see it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged.  But in my defense, 2020 has not been a stellar year for me.  Or for anyone else I am sure.  But on a positive note, I will have my medical deductible met before June.

 Not only did I have shingles, I felt like something that was picked up on the road after being hit several times and basking in the hot hot sun for days.  As you know, now is not the time to be running to the doctor (or the store, or the gas station, or the beauty salon......) so I suffered in silence.  Or as silent as I could be as I whined, coughed, sneezed, peed a little, had hot flashes and then cold flashes and peed a little again.  Oh and did I mention whined to my husband DAILY!!!  (He would say several times a day but I beg to differ on that.)

 So what have I learned these past few weeks (other than all stretch pants DO NOT fit the same)

 - Going to the grocery store is now an event.  First you need to REALLY plan.  
Like get your list ready, get your mask ready, get your wipes ready, get your bags ready and GOOOOOOO....

   Don’t make eye contact with anyone because if you have a mask on - you are a freak - and if you don’t have a mask on - you are a freak.  😷😷😷😱😱😱.  

  AND don’t get me started on the one way aisles.  They are definitely necessary however some people go to the extreme.  I saw a gal go the wrong way and another person reprimand her.  REALLY????   And it was not in a nice way.  IN A GROCERY STORE??  I almost dropped my beer and ran through the store to hide from the cops like I was in HS when the cops busted a party.  

 - My worse 3 words IN THE UNIVERSE are What’s for dinner??  
I really do like to cook but it seems like a chore during all of this.  We have been ordering from local restaurants as much as we can and I love it.  The funniest part is Scott says to me “wow...  we are spending a lot eating out”. 😳😳😳😳. You have got to be kidding me??   Our  “weekly” (sometimes twice weekly) date nights “meal” cost us $200plus some nights (may have been some beverages involved).   

 -  Going to the Dr is a chore and I have total respect for anyone that is in the medical field.  I tested negative for Covid 19 but ended up with sinus infection, bronchitis and pulled muscles in my ribs from coughing.  Finally after 6 weeks I woke up and felt like I was a new person only to get YEAST infection 2 days later.  At this point, I can only laugh (and try not to itch)

 Have to say I do love Zoom Happy Hours with my friends but miss seeing everyone.  Can’t wait for some normalcy in our lives!!   

 Oh... Ya.   To top it all off, I finally bought toilet paper and IT’S ONE PLY ONLY!!!! 

 Happy Pandemic to Me!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Where the F^*@ did summer go??

  As I am writing this it is almost the end of August and we are taking our home on wheels camping.  This is our 3rd time out (can’t count the countless hours I sat in the driveway in it because I needed  a vacation.) Our first outing was to a country music fest in Karlstad MN.  Appropriately called Kickin Up Kountry.   We went with siblings and outlaws and had a blast.  Naturally we pull up and the camper RIGHT NEXT DOOR is a classmate of mine from high school and his wife.  What are the odds.   AND It was hot out so we all know I was a sweaty mess for 3 days.   You know it’s bad when I wear a cowboy hat AND a t-shirt at the same time.  With an umbrella and a fan.   So not my fashion statement but I plan on wearing it again next year!!!   Saw my first Baja races and more men in bib shorts and cowboy boots than I care to count.  Working on Scott’s wardrobe for next year.😄😀 Our second outing was a staycation.   We camped in our hometown park.  It was so fun.  We couldn’t go home no ma

  OMG.  I can't believe it's June already.  The older I get the faster time goes and the less I seem to do. Sleeping has become one of my favorite pastimes and some nights are better than others. The other morning I had my alarm set really early because I had a meeting and needed to be ON TIME!!  Hate when that happens but that's a whole other rant.  People that show up for appts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes early….  Not going there. So, my alarm goes off and I don’t want to wake up Scott that early.  I usually turn it off right away, hop out of bed with a smile on my face singing a song but this day I couldn't do it.   My arm was completely numb.  So I flop over and try to grab my phone.  I yank the cord out of the wall and the phone falls under the bed.  I then roll on the floor (literally) to find the phone.  Meanwhile my right arm is somewhere else and I can't find it.   By this time my alarm is getting LOUDER AND LOUDER and I want to shut it off but I need my

Tis That Time of Year

  Well…  the season is upon us.  Yep… the season is here!! November was a busy month for sure.  I had the joy of experiencing the BIGGEST craft show I have ever been too.  It was at Canterbury Downs in Shakopee and OMG!!   First let me preface that the 3 I went with have gone every year for 20 years.  (And no this is not them below - this is me after finishing the day.) So they knew what they were doing.  Our first night, we went to a HUGE casino and while 2 of them gambled, 2 of us walked around, got lost and drank beer.   As long as you walked around the circle, you could always find the bar.   Not sure I was very impressive by the time we went back to the hotel.     The next morning we all got up and in true Jodi fashion I was ready to go!  I have learned over the years with my husband, YOU GET UP, YOU GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER AND YOU LEAVE.  Doesn't matter if you look like you slept in a dumpster the night before.  YOU GET IN THE CAR AND GO!!!   So I was ready when it was time to
