Oscar... My desktop has Win7. I LOVE Win7 and hate to change it. I just got a laptop that had Win 8.1 on it. I hate it. I can't do anything on it. It won't let me do anything, but look at the internet. Anytime I try to do something on it, it stops me each time by asking for my password for OneNote(?) I think. I don't know what it is. It did have a option to upgrade to Win10 which I tried to do after 2 hours nothing happened so I clicked cancel.
Oscar...I got those bath bomb molds at Michaels in their Christmas ornament section. They were half off in price so each one was only like .64 cents. I got 6 of them. They had a couple of different kinds, they were clear and came apart (some kinds do not come apart) and I got the smaller of the 2 sizes they had.
wendy...Too bad you missed out on the Crocs deal. Living up north now you'll find you have a need for them come spring time when the snow melts (slush) and rain (mud).

I picked up another part time job starting today. It will be sporadic until the new year, maybe. We're playing it by ear. One current employee is working in her other job more and more. It is at the store I buy all my jewelry making paraphernalia. Plus I can give classes if I want and 100% of the $ is mine. The one woman I take courses from has charged $30 for 3 hrs and had 7 people so that's a nice earner. Not sure I'm up to that yet.
So between that, my regular job and meals on wheels once a week ( sometimes twice) I'm busier than I've been in awhile and it's nice.

I'm typing on real internet, yeah!!! Now I can download win 10 if I want. I think my laptop is Win7 and the desktop 8 or 8.1.
Hubby loves baths and you can't really find much in the store besides kid's bubble bath. He want's something that Walgreen's used to carry that changed the color of the water, or even Calgon take me away, and they aren't on the shelves anymore. Are these bath bomb things you make similar?

Congrats on the new job, Oscar, takes a lot to feed those growing pups of yours, lol.
I dunno what happened with the Crocs. I had gone to the website, looked up 'My Orders", nothing there so I figured I didn't order them. Been looking at other shoes online. Today a boxful of Crocs showed up at the door. I think I'm starting to lose it. The right boot doesn't fit very well, hits my big toe a bit wrong, but I don't want to go through the hassle of returning them (and it costs $7.50). Hopefully I won't be wearing them much, lol, so I think I'll just keep them and maybe someday buy a shoe stretcher.

I made an incredibly useful thing today. Can anyone guess what it is?

I have no idea but I'll take a guess ~ something to set a hot bowl in on your table.

Close tee!
You know how when you put a bowl in the microwave it's so damn hot you practically burn yourself getting it out? Well voilà! Put the bowl, it fits lots of sizes in it, in then microwave zap zap pull it out the material doesn't get hot. Carry it wherever even eat out of it if it's soup. No touching the burning hot dish. It's all cotton, right down to the thread and the insulation so no danger of fire or melting.

Genious ~ I always grab a kitchen towel to get mine out.

I'm loving Sears/KMart this year. They have a points program, which doesn't really get you much, but they keep sending me "Surprise Points" that are worth $20, $30 and don't really have restrictions on them. The other day I spent $104 and got 5 jeans, 4 long sleeve, dressy T Shirts, a coat, a cardigan, and diamond earrings (1/10th ct, lol). Today I just ordered a rechargeable flashlight, identical to the one I already have. It's normally $36, I got it for $15. I also ordered a sweater. After taking off my new surprise points the order was for less than $4, with free 2 day shipping. Next I have $25 in Best Buy bucks to spend on computer speakers.
My mattress got here. I wouldn't call it a mattress, really, it's just a big piece of foam, but it's waaaay better than an air mattress. It doesn't make noise every time I turn over. It's quite firm and I'm liking the twin size. I have a small, full-size from a sleeper sofa that I fold in half for the bunk. The twin size is larger so I feel like I have plenty of room. Hubby is sleeping on the sleeper sofa mattress, in the spring I will take it back and he can have the twin mattress. He put me together a bed frame, too, so I don't have to struggle to get up off the floor.
Seems like they're still really liking him at his job, and he still likes the job. It's nice in it's own way because you have to get the evening's dishes done. If you do your job quickly they can't give you more dishes to wash, there's only so many, so you get a break. It's not like some other jobs, if you get done quickly they just give you the slow person's jobs to do, or extra work. I don't know that he'll have a lot more work, though, cause he works Wednesday through Sunday if there's work available and Christmas and New Year's fall on that part of the week so I can't imagine many banquets being held. They also have a lot of down time until Valentine's Day, but they will give him whatever hours they can, he says they're really happy with his work.

Have you done your Christmas shopping? I'm done with any cash outlay. I am however doing some sewing plus making some earrings for a few gifts for people coming to dinner (non family so not on my reg list). I have to work Sunday so I'm going to decorate inside on Saturday.
This is the front of the house:
