I really laughed when I typed in “Welcome Winter” as a giveaway hop. The temperatures here in Arkansas have been at an all-time high for the season. I’ve been wearing short sleeves and no coat- no winter here, lol! Everyone involved in this giveaway hop is offering a prize valued at $10 or more.
I can’t say it’s really been winter here (yet). It’s been in the 60’s. I know I live in the south, but it’s usually much colder. We’ve usually had some ice/snow. We’ve had rain, heavy winds, MESSY, icky weather. This month has gone by quickly though.
I’ve had a TON of junk going on at my house (if you are a regular reader, you know some of it). This month is a time of the year that I have to a couple of my DR’s. I have to go each quarter to see them. I also have to take my Uncle. Well, it seems, he is on the SAME schedule as mine. So, my month is FULL of DR appointments. That will be over soon.
I’m trying to get caught up with some things I couldn’t complete at Christmas. I also have some GREAT reviews coming up for Valentine’s Day. I’m getting new photos taken for the blog tomorrow and I NEED a new office chair! Do you have any suggestions? I need one that will lean back pretty well. My arthritis is bad and I need it to be comfortable. Any ideas? I’m open to them!
Can any of you guess what I’d like to offer as a prize in this giveaway hop? How would you like to win a gift card (your choice)? Readers have really enjoyed this prize, so I’m going to continue to offer it.

While you are visiting Sonya’s Happenings… if you are into couponing and you think about it, there are coupons on the sidebar and at the top of the page to print from coupons dot com, Ibotta or RedPlum. I’d love it if you’d check them out! Any and all the advertising that you click on and visit can help me bring you more giveaways to enter. That is my main goal, I just want to bring more to you.

Too much work and not enough time!
January was fairly busy. February , not so much.
My schedule is pretty good this month
My schedule is really busy with starting my own business.
My schedule has been non stop.
This is the last day of this month and it has been a very busy month with too many meetings to attend.
Between work and school, running running running
I had my 50th this month – it was a good day to take off by myself as I am not adjusting well to the “50 is just a number brigade” I get that but I just am having a very hard time adjusting to it. Aside from that it was calm for the first half then wacko for the last. I reached the tie a knot in it and hang on for it to be over today and am just. holding. on.

I stay busy keeping my granddaughters just about everyday. I have to take my Mother to her appointments. There’s always something to do on the farm everyday

Same old, same old. Always the same.

Interesting question. Because I am retired and never again have to earn my full keep (monetarily), my schedule is usually pretty much in my control and therefore I have a lot of flexibility.
We had a bunch of plans, but my youngest tested positive for both strep and influenza a last night, so I have the feeling it’s going to take over our whole house, and our plans will be canceled.
Other than my job,we are making hour and a half trips into the city to visit my sister in the hospital who just had tumors removed from her brain,unfortunately she is battling lung cancer,we found out about the tumors last week so it’s been daunting,tearful,and rough. I wish I had something happier to say but that’s how my January is going.
I’m retired so I have no schedule. Just do what I want when I want.
This month is sort of quiet for me, just 2 dr appts.
