$25 for this at Walmart! In the app, type in Thanksgiving feast for 10, let it add all this to your cart, then apply promo code DOUBLE10 to get $10 off lowering it down to $25. It’s a Thanksgiving meal to feed up to 10 people.
Even if you DON’T use all this for a thanksgiving meal, it’s still worth the price to just have these items! Hope this helps a family this holiday season. 🦃 🍠🥐🥔🌽🫛🥧The other night I went over to a friend's house (Chrstine's), and she also had another friend stop by. We ended up in the backyard, and my friend has these plants where the caterpillars can build their cocoons after feasting and then hatch into beautiful Monarch butterflies. Out of the blue, one lands on her friend. We got to watch it try to figure out how to use its little legs and wings. It even ate a little fruit out of her hand! I mentioned that usually that means departed family or a friend came to say hello. She told me how her dad just passed away a few days ago. I'm not crying, you are!! 💗
Welcome back! If you are new, see the previous post. If you're not, I knew you'd be back. 😂
Ok, so I have written before that my aunt raised me from 11 (she says 10) until I graduated high school. I spent every summer with my Mother, it was "required" while I was living with my aunt. Now don't get me wrong, there were great times but there were also "Mother" times. Ok so I get my first period, unfortunately on Mother's time. I wasn't shocked or anything, her and my aunt had talked to me about it and the whole "sex" chat. My Mother made a huge deal out of, which I was down with because her attention was on me! Next thing I know, we are in her room, and she is showing me a tampon and explaining to me how it works. Now I was not sexually active AT ALL, hadn't even French kissed a boy, but she made it seem ok even though shoving anything into my vagina sounded horrific. You guys, she had me lay down, naked from the waist down, on a towel on her bedroom floor. She then covered the applicator with lotion, and told me how to push it in etc. My biggest fear was it was going to hurt, but right there with it was thinking the tampon would get lost in there. I DO get it in, or so I think. I could still feel it inside me though.
We go downstairs and I call my aunt to tell her the amazing news about me "becoming a woman". She also pours me a glass of wine. My younger brother and sister thought it was cool as hell, but I wasn't a fan of alcohol seeing as how bad things seemed to happen in our family due to it. I remember sitting at the kitchen table, my mom drinking her wine and smoking a cigarette while we talked to my aunt, and I sat there with my wine sipping as little as possible. They said something funny and I laughed. You guys, that tampon shot out of my vagina like a missile and into my panties. I was mortified. Needless to say, it was pads from them on until I was about 18 or 19.

I feel like last night was a big success Halloween wise! The weather was beautiful which sounds old, I get it, but they were talking about rain, so we didn't have to all shack up in the garage. Christine ended up not coming because they had some sort of emergency at her mom's house, nothing with the baby, she just said a friend - so no cheese dip which I was super bummed about. And just getting to hang out with her and the baby and not fighting for attention from her family and friends. But I finally went over to the Cubans and knocked on the door after Bryan and I got everything ready, and the wife and their son (he is so sweet 8 years), answered and she had forgot! LOL. He immediately threw on his Batman costume, his mom made her way over and then Tony, their dad/husband later, showed up and surprised me because I had no idea, he was still going to make it. He drives far for work and usually comes home Friday late or early Saturday morning. But we had fun and enjoyed the few trick or treaters we had visit.
I was looking at peri & menopause symptoms (why TF am I growing these thick black hairs out my chin!?!?) and a memory popped in my head, come back tomorrow so I can tell you about my adventure with me getting my first period when I was staying with my Mother during the summer and her take on how to use a tampon for the first time.
PS. Come back tomorrow - this day just got away with me!!

Happy Halloween!!! It is finally here! I am SO excited! Now the sucky part is, I didn't sleep well last night. I have no idea why not. I am excited for Halloween but not THAT excited. Went to "sleep" at almost midnight, and each time I would start to doze off, my mind would startle me awake. What I mean by that is I used to have issues sleeping, I would start to feel like I was suffocating, and my mind would race and tell me to get up, get moving. I would pace and pace the house or outside or sit out in the Livingroom watching tv with Bryan. Poor guy. But after getting on Celexa and then Zoloft, especially the Zoloft, I stopped feeling that way. With the Zoloft, when I kind of start to feel that way, another part of the brain (I refer to as the Zoloft part) tells me everything is fine, relax, don't be dumb, go to sleep and it works. But last night, I would start to doze off and then my brain would startle me awake. Over every little noise, sound, EVERYTHING. I don't normally sleep that poorly unless I have Oliva with me, although she is getting better. I felt like I finally fell asleep around 4 am and then when I woke up at like 8 am, I texted Bryan and told him I was going to try and go back to sleep. I did off and on, till almost 11 and then wanted to get up.
We are going to be "hosting" a little get-together in our garage. Gonna hand out goodies for the kiddos, and Christine and the baby are coming down with CHEESE DIP!!! Yes, you know I requested that again! LOL. We invited our Cuban neighbors but haven't heard back yet. I am sure we will either later or they will just pop by. Bryan is grilling ribs, making his famous cowboy beans, I'm not sure about the other sides yet. If the Cubans come, I am sure they will bring things as well which is always a 50/50. Sometimes, especially their proteins, are tasty but other things, not so much. They get confused on the holidays so that is why I say they will probably show up. And they finally invested in some Vodka instead of all of their dark liquors so YAY! We are not dressing up since we did last weekend, and we are just gonna chill in the garage. I am excited and a little nervous because we don't normally have people over, especially littles and I worry about all of our animals and crap on the floor. Not literally, but you never know.
