chat-wednesday

Happy hump day everyone!

I survived night one of Skylar’s vacation!  Barely.  I was super tired last night from having to get up early (yes, 9:30am is too early for me).  We were busy with crafting until 8:00pm.  That is my cutoff time for crafts.  We have to have everything cleaned up and put away by 8:00pm.  If we do anything after that, it has to be something easy and clean, like playing cards or make a puzzle.  Just don’t want to clean up paint. lol

Then Skylar fell asleep at 9:30pm which was wonderful.  I thought.  I started editing the Ride Along to the Portland Jetport video.  Those videos are an editing nightmare due to the two cameras.  I had over 1.5 hours of footage total.  I cut it down to about 15 minutes.  I was finally done working on that at 2:30am.  I went to bed and fell asleep around 3:30am.  Skylar was up and wide awake at 4:00am.  It was pure torture.  I could not keep my eyes open and at one point I woke up to her dripping water from a straw on to my face.  It actually felt kind of good.  I fell asleep with a soaking wet face.  This back and forth went on for 3 hours.  She wanted french toast. I was not cooking.  I remembered that they had some PB&J wraps so she had that then I insisted she lay back down. She slept.  I slept off and on until 10:00am.  I’m a mess.

We leave for the airport a bit later then Skylar and I plan on hitting Market Basket on the way home to pick up a few groceries and ingredients for concoctions.  Tonight I must be in bed by midnight the latest.  Even if Skylar is wide awake (which she will be since she slept late today), she can just watch TV.  I hope so much I can sleep.

Yesterday’s Ride Along video is here.  I also recorded some footage of stuff we did at the house.  I have not had time to start editing that.  I hope to do that today.  But when??? lol

 

 

Have a great Wednesday!

Tuesday Chat – Picking Up Derrick and Skylar Today! Read Comments Last Night! BFTP (picking up D & S last year)

chat-tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

Today is the big day!  I will be leaving the house shortly to pick up Derrick and Skylar at the Portland Jetport.  I can’t wait to see them!  Even though I do visit them usually 3 times per year in Memphis, I love it so much when Derrick is here.  But he’s only here for one night.  We take him back to the airport tomorrow.

I am taking the cameras with me. I think I did that last year too?  I can’t remember if I did a Ride Along or not when I picked them up.  I hope to do that today.  (I did it last year, Blast From the Past video is below!)  Whether or not I’ll have time to edit anything tonight is unknown.  I actually thought about letting Skylar help me edit.  That would be way more time consuming, but I think she would love doing it and it would be teaching her something.  I am going to ask her if she would also like to start blogging.  I can teach her on this blog!

Before I run out the door, just want to mention that I uploaded a I Read My Youtube Comments video last night.  I will try very hard to have content every day on my channel, but if not, no biggie.  No way I’ll really be able to keep that pace up over the next few weeks.  But it’s my goal.  Something to aim for.

I just remembered that I also have a Tipster Tuesday video pre-recorded that I need to publish!  It’s about the importance of good thumbnails.  Hang on… okay, I just did it.  You can see that video here!

Gott go!  Yay!

Have a great Tuesday!  Darlene xoxo

I just watched a few minutes of this and it was a ride along with only a glimpse of Derrick and Skylar at the very end.  I’ll try to capture them more this time around!

Monday Chat – Skylar Tomorrow! In Home Care Today for My Mother! Super Busy!

chat-monday

Happy Monday everyone!

I woke up on the early side.  And instead of going back to bed like I usually do, I stayed up because my mother has 3 different people coming today for in home care.  We will be busy with that for several hours.

Two of the appointments require me sitting with them for paper work, OT and Personal Aide.  Do not like the paper work part. The last appointment has been here before so that one is easy.  It’s for my mother’s shower and I don’t have to be involved.  This help is all very temporary.  I asked my mother’s doctor for a referral just so I could have a break for a bit and have others come in.  They said it might be for just a month.  Medicare won’t cover it for longer than that if it’s not absolutely necessary. And since my mother can still do a lot for herself, and since I’m here 24/7, it’s not considered absolutely necessary.  To me it is, but not to them.

Also, I’m hoping to get to bed early tonight because I have to get up early tomorrow to head out to the airport to pick up Derrick and Skylar!  They arrive at noon.  I’ll be leaving the house around 10:45am, so must get up at least an hour before that.  Already worried that I won’t get enough sleep.  I don’t like to drive on no sleep.

Yesterday, I uploaded 2 videos for your viewing pleasure.  I started with a Tag Along with Me – Dollar Tree Haul.  I got 26 items! Mostly stuff for Skylar and my mother.

And then I anxiously recorded Part 2 of my Can I Roll This Shit video.  I was obsessed with the beads the night before and showed you some new tips for how you can make the shelf liner beads even quicker and easier!

Not sure what I have planned for today.  I can’t do any recording until everyone is out of the house.  That will be around 3pm (three hours of people here, will I be able to survive??? lol but not really lol).  My goal is the new Embellish the Quilt Blocks series that I want to start.  And I’m hoping I can continue that during Skylar’s visit.

And I might be able to knock something else out too.  I wish I was better at doing voice overs where I could just show various footage and not care about the background noise, then just do a voice over the footage.  But I suck at that.  I think it’s because Windows Movie Maker is not equipped to make that easy on us.  Maybe if I can ever learn a new video editor, well maybe I can do voice overs more easily.

Have a great Monday!  Darlene xoxo
