Thursday Chat – Staying Home Today

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

It’s Thursday.

I had a rough start to my day. Bad night. Bad morning. All just sucks. I’ve decided I will not leave the house today, not even to swim. Not unless things turn around for me. Just mentally drained right now.

I went out yesterday so I at least got that accomplished. I took you to walmart with me. During my car vlog portion of the video, I mentioned that Bunny Meyer (grav3yardgirl) posted a video (a long video) called We Need to Talk where she chats openly and honestly, crying included (and she used a beauty blender to wipe her nose and eyes) about her ongoing youtube struggles. I can relate to everything she says. It feels good to have someone else saying it. I fear I sound like I’m a broken record sometimes or that I’m just imagining the struggles. But the struggles are real and I’m certainly not the only one who goes through this. All full-time youtubers can experience this, even content creators with a very small channel like mine. Her video made me feel normal.

I have to make a phone call today and that has me all wound up. I simply hate making phone calls. But I must call a cancer center to see if I can get an appointment. That’s a call I never expected to make, yet on the other hand it’s like I’ve been waiting to make that call all my life. Just always assumed I’d have cancer at some point. In a strange way, it’s almost a relief to finally have it happen so I can stop anticipating it.

My new ipad arrived today!  It’s still in the box. As anxious as I am to use it, I really have no desire to open the package. I’m such an odd duck.

Here’s what I have on the blog and youtube since my last update…

When shopping on ebay, always read the descriptions. Some items ship from overseas and can take a few weeks to arrive. Usually the description will state how long shipping might take. Also, for clothing, overseas sizes usually run on the small size so it’s good to order larger by a size or two. Always check the shipping charges. I’m not familiar with these sellers so please do your homework and shop accordingly. Some offer special deals like getting a free item or a percentage off if you buy a certain quantity so be sure you pay attention to that too!

Caramel & Cookies Ice Cream Pie Recipe – Just 4 Store Bought Ingredients!

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

Caramel & Cookies Ice Cream Pie Recipe
a General Mills Recipe

Check out this huge selection of Betty Crocker Cookbooks!

INGREDIENTS:

check for ingredient coupons here
Pillsbury Frozen Deep Dish Pie Crust (like this, but see my tips below)
1 quart (4 cups) vanilla ice cream, slightly softened (or flavor of your choice)
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping (or hot fudge or whatever you like)
1 cup chopped cookies of your choice
(see my tips below)

See All My Patreon Video Titles

DIRECTIONS:

1: Bake pie crust as directed on package for baked shell. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled.

2: Spread 2 cups ice cream in cooled baked shell. Drizzle half of the caramel topping over ice cream; sprinkle with 1/2 cup of chopped cookies. Repeat layers. Freeze at least 2 hours before serving. Store in freezer.

Darlene’s Tips:  You can totally make this using a store-bought graham cracker pie crust so you don’t have to turn on your oven. You will need to use less ingredients and make just one layer. But it will still taste delish! To soften your ice cream quickly, put in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time until it is soft enough. Scoop out what you need then put the rest back in the freezer. It will not hurt the texture of the re-frozen ice cream. And of couse, you can use any flavor ice cream and topping that you want!

Wednesday Chat – Heading to Walmart – Expect a Video Tonight

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

It’s Wednesday!

I can’t put it off any longer. I must hit Walmart today. I plan on going out as soon as I publish this post. Of course, I’m taking you in the store with me to you can expect a tag along video later.

Yesterday, I had another doctor appointment which really was not helpful at all with any decisions I have to make. In fact, I was more confused and also feeling quite uncertain as to what I should do. I get conflicting advice then I’m expected to make a big decisions based on that conflicting info. I don’t like that.  Tomorrow I’m calling a cancer center and hopefully I can see someone there. (follow me on patreon for more info and updates)

Yesterday, I also went swimming. And I recorded a car vlog but decided to not even bother editing it.  It felt forced. I’m letting my old habit of recording daily slip back in and I simply do not want to do that. I have too many other things I need to do. So I trashed yesterday’s recording and just let myself feel guilty.

Now I really must run!  I have lots to do when I get back so I want to just get this outing over with so I can come home and work.

Here’s what I have on the blog and youtube since my last update…
