Your house is getting close now Margaret and it is going to be so nice. I love to see you so happy when you talk about Squish. It is wonderful that you are having fun with her and watching her grow. You will always be a very Special Grandma to her.
I hope so. She is everything to me.
Hi Margaret. I hope that you and Squish feel better soon.❤
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Love the grandma and squish stories. When your house gets finish it will be so pretty,,,can't wait. Hope you get feeling better. Love your channel and God bless
I really appreciate that.
Omg! Love your story about Squish and her artwork! But, Mommy may not approve!!😅
Your house is coming together and I’m looking forward to the decorating videos. ❤
So exciting and if you do want to remove the priceless artwork Mr Clean Magic Eraser works❤😂
New home looking good. Keep warm Margaret hopefully the snow will stay away. Thnk u
Yes, thank you
Your house is coming along!! So exciting! I hope you’re feeling better. 💕
Thank you so much!
Your new home is looking so good. I still have drawings done by my Granddaughter, she’s now 23 they are priceless treasures. I hope you’ll soon be free of what ails you. I can’t believe we’re now into February once more. Roll on Spring x
Love it!!
Thinking of you, Margaret, as I devour the majority of a container of coconut pecan frosting and chastise myself for eating it.
This must stop.
I'm currently suffering from monkey brain and cannot sleep longer than 2 hours at a time. Possibly, sugar overload.
Also, it's mothership time. I'm not liking their schedule.
I may be feeling cranky. Lack of sleep perhaps. Ugh. Nevermind. I'm going to sleep now. Go away monkeybrain.💕💕💕
Yay Margaret, it’s coming along. I can’t wait to see it taking shape. You will be in there very soon ❤
I hope so!
❤ You light up so much when you talk about your little squish love it❤
My reason for being!
Squish is so very cute.
Thank you for sharing.
She's my world!
I’m so excited for you. Can’t wait till you move in and have a tour of your much loved home!
Me too! I am counting down the days.
The light at the end of the tunnel is getter brighter!!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Hi Margaret, your home is coming on soooo nicely! Wonderful!
Thanks! I can't wait to get moved in!
Your house is looking good! Love the Squish story. Have a nice weekend! ❤
Oh you too!
Love seeing the progress!! You will love those lights! I have the same 'cold' the stuffy head that lasts for days, been sleeping alot, made chicken soup just before I got it, as my husband got it but he had the bad cough. My son and kids have it too. Not fun!!! Thanks for brightening my day!! Feel better soon! Oh, love the idea of leaving squishs 'artwork' on the wall.
Feel better!
Margaret praying that you will be feeling better soon. Good to see you smile through it all. Hang in there. Good to see the progress with your new home.
Thank you!
Hi Margaret,
I am so glad that your house is getting closer to move in time for you! Congratulations about your continued weight loss! That is so incredible that you are doing that in what I consider quite stressful circumstances! Please take care of your health. Elizabeth in Texas
Thanks so much!
I hope that you feel better soon (just got over sinus crud a week ago myself . Back to croupie cough today and fevers heading up -101. I’m freezing! Thanks for the entertainment while I’m down tonight! Can’t wait til the flooring goes in🤗
I hope you feel better SOON!
...priceless....love it!
So glad you think so!
It’s getting to all the exciting stuff now Margaret can’t wait to see it come along, I’ve just had my cataract removed and it’s like a whole new colourful world
Wonderful!
Margaret, Your home is coming along beautifully. Can't wait to see it. My girls and grand daughter have the same thing you have with the headache. Although the nurse said hers was the flu. I love Stop and Shop their produce is excellent and the bakery not so bad either. I shop at Shaw's now that Taunton is closed but I have it deliver it's been too cold for me to venture out. Hope you soon feel better.
Can’t wait for you to see it!
Everything is coming along so well ! 🎉🎉🎉
Oh no! So sorry you are sick again! Healing prayers! Your place is looking great! 🥰💗🙏
I appreciate your kindness! The place is coming along nicely!
Hope you get some rest and feel better very soon! Priceless artwork!❤
Rest is definitely on my mind, lol!
I just love your new house and I can’t wait to see it come together! Feel better! I’m a PreK teacher and I catch these bugs. - Belinda
I'm so glad you like it!
I love your home, I’m so excited for you. I also think you should put a frame around her art work❤
Love this!
So much progress. Wishing you the best and especially to get rid of the plague😊.
Fingers crossed!
Yay Margaret thats awesome with the amount of weight loss. Since I started mine im at 25 pounds shed. Agree totally with you its the choices one makes with this/that food.
Fingers crossed for flooing installation Tuesday. Your place is looking great. Love window treatment choice you made.
Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks! I agree, sometimes the small choices add up!
Loving your new home! I too have been on a healthy food choices journey since last week of August last year and am down 35lbs. Feels great❤ Tylenol Sinus really helps on those days you still gotta get stuff done. Snowed lots yesterday but sunny today.. I’ll take it 👍❤️🇨🇦
Great job!
Your hair is beautiful! You had to be the best babe at the car shop this morning!
Exciting news to have the floors covered soon. Progress!
Loving that original art. Perhaps a new female Picasso is in the making. Great idea to save and date a precious memory in that way. Maybe eventually a little frame around it? After all, there are no laws against hanging a picture at ground level, right?
I put 10 pounds of chicken legs and thighs in my Instant Pot this morning and am now pulling the bones out and will divide the meat into freezer bags for later use. Also ate some for lunch. It's good to thaw and eat in green salads, soups, the dreaded casserole with pasta, cheese, and broccoli, or like a shepherd's pie w/mashed on top and veggies mixed in. All kinds of stuff! A 10-pound bag at my local Food Lion for $8.90 is a good deal, and this was on sale for $7 and change. Plus, some good stock and bone broth if you like. Chase away the winter blues with some hot broth or soup! I like to toss some veggies in the food processor, add chicken and mayo, give it a whizz, and have a healthier version of chicken salad (sandwich). Add herbs and spices if you like, or not.
I must be channeling Julia Child!
Endless ideas! Squish would love them all!
It's a lovely day in the sunny South. We actually got snow twice last month that covered the ground and disappeared the next day.
I hope Parker doesn't lick off Picasso's artwork!
Enjoy the day!
Peace and happiness! 💕💕💕
Everything you just mentioned sounds SO good! A homemade soup would be perfect! Squishes art work will be partially hidden by a table below the tv, but I am so happy that it’s there! lol. Enjoy your cooking frenzy!
Margaret , I love you home. Looks very nice and am hoping you get the kitchen appliances so you can start cooking again. If I were your neighbor I’d invite you over for a cup of tea or a nice home cooked meal. Hope you feel better soon.
Just getting overCOVID , me and my two sisters all got it, plus many others we know, it’s going around big time here in San Antonio, Tx, but the first symptoms we all had was the worst headaches ever! They were terrible for all of us, so maybe you haveCOVID if you have the horrible headache. Hope you feel better and squish too
Hope you are all recovered! This sucks!
I make a grocery list on my phone as I notice I need something…chicken noodle is better for you since you’re a bit under weather….i used to give my kids fish sticks….kind of like chicken fingers! Easy for them and me😍 I got penalized when I was overdue for my inspection!!
Hopefully Squish won’t continue written on the floors after new ones are installed…you’re brave!
I’m so excited seeing you walk around in your new home🥰
I was at Big Y today at 11:00 spending lots of money too... Hope you feel better soon and Squish too!
Thanks.
I took my car in for inspection and oil change this past Monday. It failed. Needed two new front tires. I was at the repair shop probably an hour or so. I went back on Thursday to have the tires put on and inspection completed. My appointment was at two and I didn’t get home till around 4. I live twenty minutes from the garage! I don’t know why it took so long! They didn’t look that busy.
I know the feeling!
When my grandson Isaac was just a little guy, I started backing him up against my kitchen wall, then marking his height, weight, and the date on the wall. He'll be 24 years old soon, 6' 4" tall, and weighs approximately 220 lbs. I now keep that record on my refrigerator because we have moved to a different town. I still love looking at it! 😊
It broke my heart to leave my chart in the Dighton house, but it was on a door frame in the upstairs apt and I couldn’t get to it.
@@MargaretbeingMargaret I'm sorry to hear that. I can understand why that hurt so much.
I grew up on fish sticks and so did our sons. Today, Saturday, hubby and I had the sandwich sized fish sticks and instant potatoes…delicious😋 0:15
Love it!!
When I have a cold I eat chicken soup with a lot of black pepper. It seems to open my head up to breath easier.
I will definitely be trying this!
Margaret, I hope that darn sinus thing get better. I bet that soup is good ! Enjoy it.
It’s definitely a comfort food!
Hi Margaret, You do look sharp! Nice look with your weight and it really shows with your dark slacks and maroon sweater - love it! I'm so sorry you caught "the plague" again and waiting for my car to be serviced is a certain kind of torture to me even when I feel OK.🙄🙄🙄🙄. I had zero to eat in my house (that I didn't have to cook) so I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich and I am not feeling good about it.
I love bamboo shades and have them in my house, too, and they allow the beautiful framing around your window show. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that the floors go down on Tuesday!!❤
Thank you!
@@MargaretbeingMargaret 😊
Feel better soon😊
I love the framing around your window. I wish I had window framing and windowsills, my drywall just wraps around to the window and I’ve never had a house without windowsills before and I don’t like it.
I’ve never seen that. I will have to research.
@@MargaretbeingMargaret it’s plain and boring. It’s just drywall.
Checked it out…yeah can’t say I’m a fan.
Looks great 👍
I had to spend 3 hours at the car dealership this week. Had to have trans fluid flushed and brakes installed and brake fluid flush. Not only a lot of time but of course a lot of money. I did have a coupon at least. I do most of my grocery shopping at Kroger and use the delivery service. That was one of my mom's favorite sayings No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. LOL
I hear you! The car dealership can be a huge time suck.
If you decide to preform cartwheels, please include that in your video. I have never been able to do cartwheels and I would like to see how that works out. 😉
I will also include the hospital address for get well cards!
Sorry to hear you are poorly again.... My family have had this double whammy flu/ cold, it's odd. ❤
Sorry to hear that
What do you mean by going for a sticker? 10:08 Check to see if the window fittings stop the reflection on the TV. I like the window surrounds…I never realised that could be done. I will be looking into that. Do you have an IKEA handy? They had a hinged frame that you could place artwork in and clip it shut. I am not sure if they still have them but they were ingenious.
A state (Massachusetts) inspection for my car. Has to be done yearly by a registered garage.
Took me several minutes to figure the sticker thing too, SC has no inspection but hey we have SRS-nuclear plant so California can have electricity plus few other states😂
The last time at the dealership for an oil and air filter change, we arrived about 12:30 pm and we slid right on through. Didn't have time to work one sudoku puzzle! The desk fellow said baby boomers think first thing in AM is always best to come, but those people are all gone by afternoon and it's a lot freer then. Not sure if it's the same on Saturdays as we went on a weekday, but thought I'd share. Same could apply at the car wash. Take good care.
That's a good tip, thanks!
It is going to be lovely
Margaret when I looked after my granddaughter I was sick all the time my dr said my granddaughter was making me sick even when she wasn’t he said they are carriers. When she got older it all stoped
That’s what I figured.
Love your place!
I can't wait to move in!
I make a grocery list on my phone as I notice I need something…chicken noodle is better for you since you’re a bit under weather….i used to give my kids fish sticks….kind of like chicken fingers! Easy for them and me😍 I got penalized when I was overdue for my inspection!!
Hopefully Squish won’t continue written on the floors after new ones are installed…you’re brave!
I just KNEW my perfect granddaughter would never scribble anywhere!
I had to watch the whole video before I piped up because I couldn’t figure out what a sticker was that you were trying to get and then you talked about an inspection. I’ve heard people in other states talk about having to have their vehicle inspected. We don’t have to in California. We have to get a smog certificate, you can just go to a smog place and bing bang boom takes 10 minutes and then they electronically transmit it to the DMV and you can get your registration renewal stickers at a kiosk in a grocery store or online or AAA.
That is interesting. I've never heard of that process, but it sounds like a simpler one!
So sorry you're sick again❤ obviously you know when the children are young they carry every disease known to man😮 and my children and grandchildren did also😊 praise God they're all grown up now. But I still get it from Church😮 we have huge sanitizers at church and when I remember that's great, and I also have to remember when someone comes up and gives me a hug I have to say no😢 I am 74 going to be 75 in November, I still work out five days a week ..my weight fluctuates from 103 to 106 on a good day and you are right, when you do mindful eating you make better choices❤ One of my daughters works at a service department so she takes my car gets my sticker, I am truly blessed🙏 my late husband used to do everything with my car even get gas for me wash and wax it. When he got sick I had to start doing everything for myself. I still hate dealing with my car😢 it's my Achilles heel. I have a post downstairs in my laundry room and I have the kids names and height throughout the years on it. It is such a blessing to see that when I go down and wash the clothes. And even some of their ex-boyfriend's are on there😂 I would do the same thing I would frame the artwork maybe a nice heart shape frame or an oval❤ you could even frame it with some crown molding, as you are quite handy with doing things like that👍 I can't wait to see the floors, everything is coming along so beautiful let me know how you like the mini splits. And make sure they show you how to clean the filters and the batteries on the remote have to be changed once a year but it'll give you a message. Have a blessed day my friend and feel better❤❤ today is Saturday and we had some icy rain on the ground when I woke up this morning I wasn't sure if I was going to my prayer meeting at the church just because of the role condition but by the time I left 9:45 everything was dried out. Blessings from Worcester MA❤me and Otis🐶
Thanks so much. You are fortunate that your daughter can do the car stuff! I can’t dredge up enough patience to deal with it! I had a couple of mini splits in Dighton. It is so easy to clean the filters. I really liked them! Stay warm and safe.
@ oh yes I forgot you did have the mini split, thank you so much you stay safe and warm also my friend
Your stressing me out 😅 i have decided i will not watching you untill you are sorted, as i feel its happening to me ❤ GOD BLESS you beautiful lady
Sorry! lol
Great video. Yeah. It is coming together now hugs
Thanks for watching.
Your home is going to be beautiful soon. ❤❤
Thanks so much! I hope so!
Awww, you should hang an empty picture frame around Squish’s art…any grandmother would approve! ♥️
That’s great!
I love this idea! Art for any pet that may pass by!😊
Notice she said any Grandma would approve and not mommy!!😮
You are trying my patience, Margaret. You were out in driveway with a shovel the other day after been very ill for eight days. it is high time Margaret takes better care of Margaret. Love you my TV Sister.
It was a small job! Life goes on. LOL. (thank you for caring)
Just noticed you have new glasses wow!
Actually they are old! I just bought two new pair, I’m not sure about the look but I need sturdier frames.
Thanks for the update Margaret! Easy fix to the lights.....just get a dimmer switch. I think the are fairly cheap and would make it so you can have the brightness you would like. Love the new art work, it will make you smile when you sit back and view the work squish put into it for you.
Thanks! That's a great idea!
You should put a picture frame around the artwork lol
love it!
Margaret, you’ve lost 40 pounds? Wow you look great! Can you give us an idea of what your meals look like and do you eat 3 meals a day? I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering! Thanks!
Did what MY body requires. No junk food, gave up soda years ago, usually eat one meal a day, but nothing big. I do take that last bite of Squishes oatmeal lol or the leftover crust of her PB&J. Try to get veggies in at least a couple of times a week and do inhale blueberries. Boring, but it works for me.
@ Oh my, that’s not much! Like you said, you don’t currently have a kitchen so no cooking! I can give up junk food but I couldn’t go down to one meal a day. Happy it works for you though!
❤️✨
NO🤸 🤸♀️ 🤸♂️ let’s keep them in the emoji’s so no 👩🏼🦽➡️🩹🩻💊.
Boy I wish I could still do one!
🎉
Margaret so sorry you have the “plague “ again. Your house is coming along and you are almost finished. Please rest and recover this weekend. Not much going on in my world. Sun is out today but still only 28 degrees. Take care of yourself.
I'm so glad it's sunny, even if it's cold.
I have my groceries delivered from Walmart. Free with a subscription of $6 month
Nikki does that now and then. What a convenience!
Place is looking good and I love the new wall art! Margaret, since you've already lost 40 pounds, why are you worried about eating? You need to the food to build new cells for muscle, bone, immune system, etc. In any case, since you have lost those 40 pounds how about treating yourself to some new outfits to show off your new figure? I get that your're napping on the floor but just some new jeans or sweats that are nice looking and actually fit you? Treat yourself for your birthday! Happy Birthday, btw!
Not quite ready for new clothes. Probably this summer. Still waiting to see where I end up. Pretty close to where I need to be.
Look at skinny you ! ❤
lol
Margaret, you look marvelous! Did you just swap your diet from bad food to good food?
Yes I did
@@MargaretbeingMargaret Well, it sure worked. I'm inspired. Thank you!
Assuming your on auto mile Rte 1- for car / grocery shopping - I hate - necessary evil!!!
Wasn’t bad today!
I hope you get to feeling better soon. The flu has caused multiple school ISD's to shut down for a week or two here in Texas. Just horrible.
Question…The door lock pad, what happens if the batteries go out? How do you unlock it if it's locked? Just curious. I've never used one before. 🤔☺️
LOL. I don’t know. I had one in Dighton for 15+ years, the lock would get sluggish so I always knew it was time. This is a different model. I will check that out when I program it. (hopefully tomorrow)
