Modified Keto day 10 plus 3 packages in the mail!!!

I must honest, today started out real rough.  I woke up with a migraine that did not go away until around 6 this evening.  I managed to drag myself out of bed around 10 and decided to fix myself something to eat.  Today’s breakfast consisted of bacon and eggs.  And yes, I did have my normal coffee intake. But, once again, no Starbucks.

The cruise countdown cheered me up but didn’t make the headache go away.  I wonder if the diet has anything to do with the headaches…

I did receive some packages in the mail today.  One from Baublebar, one from Michaels, and UPS delivered 2 Shutterfly orange envelopes.  Not only did I get the replacement photos that UPS conveniently misplaced last month, I also received the replacement photos that Shutterfly sent.  But since I still had a headache, I did not open the packages.

In the late afternoon, I started getting a little hungry so I had the last of the left over chicken stuff I made yesterday and I also had one hotdog that was sliced and stuffed with cheese then wrapped in bacon.  My beverage of choice after my morning coffee was unsweetened ice tea.

Once I started feeling better I started opening a couple of the boxes.  Up first was Baublebar.  Today’s package only contained one pair of earrings, the Fantasia Drop Earrings.  I just love them and I cannot wait to wear them on our cruise.  I also received the Lobe Wonder Ear Support patches I want to try and the Devonne Sunglasses in pink which was a gift with purchase. I truly love they way they package their products.

Then I opened the box from Michaels.  I could not wait to see the different colors of vinyl I ordered.  I’m even more excited to start playing with them on my Cricut Explore Air.  I have plans for some tumblers and now that I have all of the different colors of Vinyl that I want, I’m going to really start on the tumblers this week.  Maybe even tomorrow!!!  These are the colors I ordered:  light yellow, red, grape, azure, med blue, caribbean, and flamingo.  I’m just so excited!!!

Now about the Shutterfly orange envelope thingy’s…  It is obvious that the original one was damaged and so far, I have been afraid to open that envelope.  But, I won’t know the extent of things until I do.  It didn’t take much to open the original package and I was really afraid that the photos would be damaged but, to my surprise, there was nothing wrong with them!!!  I guess now I can organize these photos as well as the photos from our Carnival Triumph cruise and a trip to Galveston.  There are plenty of photos to do some large scrapbooks!!!

With the headache finally gone, I feel energized!  I think I will use this time to do something productive.  I just do not know which productive thing I want to do.  I think I will start with the photos so they do not get messed up!

A couple of online orders arrived!!!

You know it is going to be a good day when you receive 2 online orders in one day!!!  I’m a happy camper.  Although, there is still one package that Shutterfly shipped on July 20th (with an expected delivery date of July 26th) that UPS conveniently misplaced.  I contacted Shutterfly today to let them know what was happening.  In less than 2 hours, Shutterfly customer service had responded and informed me that they would be reprinting my photos and mailing them at no additional cost to me.  Obviously very good customer service!!!!  I wasn’t really expecting anything, I was just letting them know what was going on!!!!  I am so glad I upload all of my photos to them and I will continue to do so.

The first box I received today was from Baublebar.  This is the first time I have ordered from them but I have heard a lot of good things about them by watching Marnie Goldberg youtube channel.  I finally bit the bullet and placed an order.  One of the pairs of earrings I ordered will not be shipped until August 25th but the other 4 arrived today.  They have a section on their website that has 3 pairs of earrings for $48.  Normally, that is more than I would spend but I have been eyeing a couple of pairs that were on there for a long time.  The 3 pairs I selected are the Celestial Drops, Gabriela Stud Tassel earrings in Cerulean, and Pauline Hoop.  I also ordered the Moonlight Druzy Drop earrings in blush.  I must say, I am very happy with my selections.  They will work perfectly with some of the outfits I am planning on wearing on our cruise.

The other box I received today was from Scrapbook.com.  I routinely order various scrapbooking supplies from them and when I received an email saying they were having a sale on their adhesive, I knew I had to place another order.  They definitely has the best prices for Xyron refills so I definitely loaded up, sort of.  I ordered 6 of the Xyron “X” refill permanent cartridge and 6 of the repositionable cartridges.  I have 3 of the “X” sticker makers so now I will have one that is dedicated for permanent cartridges and one for repositionable cartridges.  I ordered 2 repositionable cartridges for my new Xyron 5″ Creative Station and 2 for my old Xyron 510 machine.  Unfortunately I only received 1 for the 510 machine.  I contacted Scrapbook.com and they responded very quickly and are sending me the missing item!!!!

Scrapbook.com also has their own line of adhesive products so I decided I would try some of their double-sided tape.  I ordered 2 that are 1/8″ and 2 that are 1/4″.  I also ordered some of their 6″ x 6″ double sided adhesive sheets.  I cannot wait to play with these!!!!  It is going to be so much fun!!!

The only thing left for me to do is to find a place to put everything!!!!
