For the Criminally Inane

These are some of my most used items! I couldn't live without these items! 1. Grocery delivery or curbside pick up. Wal-mart, Safeway even my local H-E-B gained popularity during COVID. But I've been doing pick up for at least a year before the pandemic! It's worth $5 to have someone else spend an hour shopping for me. 2. Slowcooker bags For fast and easy clean up, I use these for my slow cooker! Easy recipe? Chicken breasts, one chopped onion and BBQ sauce. Let sit on low for 6 hours! Eat on buns. 3. Dry shampoo Some days I just don't have time to go through my full shower routine. On those days, I rely on dry shampoo to keep my hair from looking nasty. I might even go two to three days! 4. Ath-leisure wear like these pants here that have a side pocket for your phone. I love the ones I got. You can't even feel your phone. Comfy, sporty and I feel nice in them.   5.

If you are an avid reader and enjoy reading lots of books for a small monthly subscription, then yes, Kindle Unlimited is for you. Many books included with a KU subscription and are also offered at a for purchase price as well. Some of my author friends really enjoy listing their books there. Pros and Cons Pros: *You can read anything included with Kindle Unlimited without having to pay more for the book.   *If you are a fast reader or a reader who reads more than a few books a month, having a subscription can actually save you money.    *Wide variety of books and genres to choose from. (I'm thinking of writing for KU just to give more readers an opportunity to find my books.) Cons: *Monthly membership subscription is required. Again, at least check it out and see if Kindle Unlimited is right

When I was in theatre in high school, I auditioned for our school's mime troupe. I had to come up with a small sketch showcasing three different mime skills. I did my audition and thought I did well, but the advisor didn't immediately tell us if we made it.  They had a special way of inducting new mimes.  When I got accepted, the rest of the troupe came to my house early in the morning (thankfully my mother warned me to clean my room!) and kidnapped me, painted my face with white mime makeup with the black over the lips to symbolize no speaking, and then took me and the other new inductees out for breakfast.  Then I had to stay in mime makeup all day with a sign around my neck that said, “I can’t talk because I’m being initiated into the International Mime Society.” Well, you might imagine how well that went over in high school. I actually did pretty well adhering to the sacred code of not talking while in mime makeup.  Except for one time. As a sophomore, I took driver’s ed. B
