Anyone else hitting new lows of "excitement?"

The crows frequently complain about getting no respect.

Man there are 4 of them-I’m just trying to stay out of the way. LOL

When you nail your sourdough recipe. I bake in a Dutch oven so when I took the lid off and saw the oven spring I got really excited.

I put things on my "to do" list such as: get out of bed, make coffee, have breakfast. And instead of just "laundry," I have "put laundry in wash, move laundry to dryer, fold laundry from dryer."

It's just nice to be able to cross things off a list.

I went into the glove box of my car and found a bottle of hand sanitizer that I threw in there last fall and forgot about. It was like finding golden treasure!!!

I had to make an appointment to go to school to clean my classroom. I came home with two hand soaps, two clorox wipes containers, one travel wipes, and a hand sanitizer. I don’t know what’s happening in September, but will buy more for when we go back.

Yep- on mine: vitamins, allergy med, stretches, exercise, go for walk, etc..

We got in the truck and drove to where our RV and stored to check the batteries and hubby had to do some maintenance. It was like a vacation. We ran the slides out and the awnings out. I opened the windows and the dog and I sat inside and read while hubby worked. The dog and I sit on the couch at home and read but this wasn't home/home. It was away home. That was my first trip away from home except to go into the office once a week to check the mail. Then a week ago we ordered Pizza Hut on line and went and picked it up. Even the dog was excited about that one.

Big doings! I get it!

I have a bird feeder outside my kitchen window that I like to refill often. I’ve one that keeps the squirrels off and enjoy watching the cardinals, woodpeckers, blue jays, finches, and even the doves who eat the ground scraps. This year, however, a bunch of crows made a nest in my neighbor‘s tree and they have created quite a disruption to the bird ecosystem. Its interesting to watch them do their thing, but they are very aggressive and have been scaring all the other birds away.

Are there by any chance owls in those trees where the crows are? The crows always come around and yell at the Great Horned Owls that roost in our trees. That's when we know that the owls are back for the season.

Not that I’ve noticed- but there are owls on Long Island, so....

@gwynne, did you get your Lysol spray? I was able to get 2 through Walmart pickup today. I could have gotten 3. I kept adding a 3rd, then feeling guilty & removing it. I did this a few times, before my conscious won out & I decided to leave it for someone else. I hope I don't end up regretting it. Anyway, if you haven't gotten it, you may want to check Walmart. This is the first time I've seen it at Walmart, Winn-Dixie or Publix, since the hoarding began. Now, if I could only find some Clorox wipes.

We had a skunk in our backyard the other night. Stank the house up, and I got to sit with my eyes watering from the odor while everyone else in the house ran around closing all the windows. I was burning a candle in the living room at the time, and now the house still vaguely smells like Vanilla Skunk. So, that was my excitement.

I live in the downtown of a medium sized city. From my balcony I can see three building projects with those huge construction cranes. My state closed down construction on March 23rd and the cranes have sat there. Now the state is moving to open up in stages. Today I saw one of the cranes pulling a large container up to the top of the building. I was beside myself with excitement!

Vanilla skunk sounds REAL BAD

Love this thread!
I've been ordering so many books from Amazon that I got an email from them today wondering why I hadn't ordered yet this week????? LOL
I love serial killer murder mysteries and the FBI is checking me out because of my orders at Amazon!

I found King Arthur flour at the grocery store.

My Lysol arrived yesterday! 2 cans.

Congrats on your Lysol order.
We certainly live exciting lives.

Have you read the Crimson Lake novels by Candice Fox? Seriously, the greatest cast of characters. Highly recommend if you haven’t.

For some fun murder mysteries, try Stella Reynolds mystery: “ The Big Lead” by Libby Kirsch . It’s about a news reporter who has people die around her in ever new city she is stationed. I get them through amazon

I just made the fudgy brownie recipe from King Arthur flour. ( be careful , there are several brownie recipes). It was the best brownies I have ever had. It does involve using a double boiler to melt the butter and sugar and 2 kinds of chocolate - cocoa and choc chips, I skipped adding the espresso

Thanks Sparkle78, I will definitely check those out! You two have given me some new options I usually buy the whole series of an author I love. Now I'll need more bookshelves. I love the Pendergast series by Preston/Child. Also Karin Slaughters Will Trent series. I like kind of odd main characters.

I just bought a new used car and really haven't driven it since I only leave the house once a week for grocery shopping. Tonight I sat in the car in my driveway and listened to Jackson Browne on Apple Car Play.
