Truthful Tuesday

I have a couple confessions today, but none are particularly horse related. First up:

I apparently hate sunscreen? Like why would I think it's smart to wear a tank top to the barn on a weekend morning and not wear some kind of sun protection? Why? I have no idea. But um. Ouch. I will guarantee to you that I will not remember this next time either.

Second:

My age is showing big time. Hair salons have recently reopened here, but I'm not feeling ready for that. Or I really wasn't until I snapped this pic of my braid and was like whoa. I really am 40. I'm still not planning to schedule a hair appointment just yet, though my sister in law knows someone that will come to my house and cut it outside. Not sure if she can dye outside... but I think it could work if I put a longer hose on the wash stall spigot.... that could reach to the driveway. Or maybe I'll just let it go and see what I look like with gray hair? No. Not doing that.

Oh bonus confession! Whilst shopping the interwebs for the best deal on double end snaps, I discovered that there is a company that apparently only sells on Amazon that makes GREEN ones! BUT, they're like $7 each which is ridiculous because I'd need like 30 of them. I have not bought them, much as I want to, but I feel like I probably will at some point in a moment of weakness. I want them for the horse show buckets and stall guards. My question is, why am I like this?? That's the most wasteful purchase ever. Regular old snaps that are like a dollar and change work superbly. And yet, I can't stop thinking about green snaps. There really is something wrong with me.

Do you have anything you need to confess today? 

Truthful Tuesday

Guys. I think I have an Amazon problem. Yesterday I nearly ordered all I would need to grow my own vegetables. Which sounds brilliant and all, but generally speaking I can't take care of plants. It would be very wasteful. Thankfully I came to my senses before checking out.
I also nearly bought a new vacuum cleaner. It's still on my list of things I would like. But I didn't do it. See, I have some self restraint!
So I have had a person clean my house for me for the last several years. Honestly, it's the best money I've ever spent. I just really hate cleaning. It takes forever. Obviously though, with The Covid, I'm having to clean up after myself these days. Which is totally fine. Except for one thing. My cleaning person has broken all of my cleaning tools and never thought to tell me.
Floor steamer? Broken in half. Swiffer sweeper? Half the handle is gone. The vacuum still works but I have no idea what she's done to the hose. It was connected improperly and it's all stretched out. I did order a new floor steamer and new swiffer handle. And truthfully, the vacuum will probably happen soon too... But at least those are responsible purchases! Better than clothes right?
I also go on Amazon every morning to see if hard to get items have returned. This has proven successful as I have a large pack of paper towels en route. Thank goodness, as I only have 1 roll left. I also found toilet paper, though that hasn't shipped yet, so my hopes are not high there. I still have some of that at least. Today I found some bathroom cleaner, so we'll see if that ships. Still no luck on lysol though. I would really love to find some of that!
So what about you guys? Have you developed an Amazon addiction? Or doing other types of online retail therapy? Any leads on where to order lysol?
