The Cozy Corner

Maybe you could let me know if its worth the trip....
I love pens! And all things that write....
Maybe, if you wanted....

The Chicago store is called Atlas Stationery and they ship online but I want to see it person. I’ll send you a DM about where I went today.

Oh, so she's fat shaming me? Oh, that's much better.

Not as bad as being shamed for heating up your tortillas in the microwave!

I edited my last post.. just for funsies

Gorgeous! And hi to another curly girl!

What a fabulous day. Weather was perfect for a drive. I learned this weekend was busy due to parade, local festival, and graduation. But we had no problem finding a place to park. I got to see the stores I wanted. Lunch was a big hit with mom (and me). Plus I found some goodies I’ve wanted for sometime but it’s been out of stock online. And I found it at the Stationery Store.

It’s a water color paint book that gives you the “instructions” for water color. You have a picture done for you then a bare sketch you paint in and can follow the color palette. So it’s a fun introductory project for someone like me with no art skills. Now I must convince myself it’s ok if it’s not perfect.

Plus some books and some
stickers and washi tape. And a notebook…. Uh yeah I had fun. I did curb myself as I’m going to Chicago next Friday to stay the night in the suburbs and into the city proper Saturday morning for another Stationery store.

Sounds amazing! And what was the big hit lunch? Details, please!

Going good! Dinner plans later. Good luck with the car shopping.

Nice! Whats for/where's dinner? Thanks! Been looking for awhile. I'm very, very particular in what I want in a vehicle but I'm also limited with having 5 young kids. So it has to fit 4 car seats and 1 booster seat. But I've got it narrowed down to 2016-2018 Yukon XL's in the SLT Trim. Has to have a bench seat for the second row, in order for them all to fit, no bucket seats. Also, it has to have, because I'm stubborn, a key start, no push button start. CD player, 4WD, stationary running boards, not the power ones that go up and down when you open the doors. And preferably cloth seats, not leather. In gray, black or silver. Not too much to ask right?

Umm, no, not picky at all but good luck in your search.

You might want to consider a 15 passenger van maybe. Soccer practice isn't far away

Dinner is at a sushi place for my nieces birthdays

We had a monte cristo with sweet potato tots. Absolutely delicious and hot(I have a thing that I like my hot food to scald my mouth - I hate lukewarm meals). Hit the spot. Mom said one of the best meals out she’s had in ages. Then she said best meal period. - I do most of the cooking. Thanks mom…..

 

[CJamarous]

Good luck!!

Thank you! The one I have my eye on checks every one of my boxes except for the cloth seats. But it has 93,000 miles on it. And I just can't seem to pull the trigger for the price with that high of mileage

Haha thanks. Oh trust me, I've looked at the Ford and Nissan passenger vans! And soccer practice is already a thing which is why I'm trying to get a larger vehicle. Don't ever let anyone tell you a minivan is a great family van and can fit all sorts of shit! Lies, I tell you, LIES!

Oooo nice! Love sushi! But I never get to eat it. No one else in my house will eat it! Enjoy it! And the time with your family!

3 games down, 4 to go. But right now? A nap.

 

[CJamarous]

Please....

Please? Please and thank you? I'm confused

For a 7 person family, a minivan may not be enough I would agree.

I like sushi too and don't get it enough either. And thank you!

Sashimi is good too
