Today’s Question:
What is something you’re very particular/strict about (has to be “just right”) ?
Photo entries
What is something you’re pretty lax/loose about (“close enough” is good enough) ?
House cleaning
Extra Credit:
If you have a vehicle…does the sun visor (driver or passenger side) have a mirror, light, or a pocket/strap to hold items ? yes
Does your vehicle have a cup holder and/or a central console (between the front seats) for storing stuff ? yes
Bonus:
Have you ever used
a labelmaker ?
a laminator ?
a pastamaker ?
a breadmaker ?
No to all of the above.
Just for Fun:
Does your home have a penny jar-if so, how long since you last emptied it & rolled the coins ?
I have Tupperware bowls for coins but I don't roll them. I take them to one of those machines that sorts them and counts them and gives you a receipt for which the supermarket, in turn, gives you cash. Jars get too heavy and I couldn't lift one and lug it into the store to dump it if it was full.
Yes, I have cup holders and mirrors on my sun visors.
I have a coffee can for loose change, but took the change recently to one of those change machines and turned it into dollar bills. I got a whole 22 bucks, lol.
Thanks for the questions, have a great day everyone!

Have a citrusy fresh day, peeps in C-D land Thanks, cloven! I'm in Maine with my daughters and four grands. Vacationing with kids sure is different than being on my own. I hear someone running around now & should get up. Tide is high, so we won't be headed to the beach for a bit. Enjoy your day, all!

Today’s Question:
What is something you’re very particular/strict about (has to be “just right”) ?
If it's something I'm creating and have an idea of how I want the final result to be, less than what I have in mind is not good enough.
Neatness in general. If everything isn't in its place it makes me nervous. I cannot stand for pillows or blankets to be lying around haphazardly. I never use a blanket, even if I'm freezing, unless it's at night and I'm in bed because I can't stand a messed up blanket. My home desk - if I'm not using my desk for any length of time, my laptop is closed, the edges are lined up with the desk and the chair is pushed in. I usually have a drink on my desk and most times I just use a paper towel rather than a coaster. The paper towel has to be folded up into a neat coaster style square. Stuff like that. That reminds me, I need a coaster.
What is something you’re pretty lax/loose about (“close enough” is good enough) ?
Whatever I'm not strict about.

I have a cat bank that is only for found money. Not change I get back from the store, but money I find. It's just a fun thing I've been doing for years to see how much free money I can accumulate. 100% profit.
It filled up about a year ago and I had to start over. The money from the first round is in a large zip bag. I haven't rolled it.
