I am just days away from surgery and my fingers are crossed it happens this time. I have posts planned for next week, but I will be on here, here and there. My surgery isn't until 11:30 am (PST), so I have some time Monday morning to read blogs and keep my mind off of things. And after that, when I feel good, I will be reading more. 

Onto Friday favorites and happenings.

ONE. So I have had my Our Place - Always Pan for a month now. It took forever and a day for it to arrive at my house, but once it was here, I broke it in quickly. And let me say that there is no breaking in the pan. That is just wording.

I had read a few reviews out there saying it wasn't big enough and that it was just ok. Well, I use this pan, my Le Creuset Brasier and my Le Creuset Stockpot. I have other pans, but I just don't use them anymore. I have made eggs, pancakes, pasta sauce, enchilada filling, stir frys, etc. in it and nothing sticks, it cleans easily and it is plenty big enough. 

It comes with a spoon/spatula that sits right on top of the pan. And it comes with a steamer basket which I have yet to use, but I know I will. 

Here is proof that I use and love this pan.

TWO. My girls got American Dolls for Christmas, and they absolutely love them. What they also love is brushing their hair. At first they were using their own brushes which are the Wet Brushes and it was pulling out so much hair. Then I looked on American Girl's website and everything is pricey and includes shipping. I didn't have a free ship code or any rewards (I used them), so I went looking online. 

The girls got some clothes for their dolls from Target's line Our Generation. So I went looking for brushes there and they had some with great reviews. I bought them online and had them sent to my house since they didn't have enough in stock at my local Target. 

They work great and it comes with a little spray bottle just in case the hair is really tangled. Plus they are $5.99 each and I think I got them on sale for $4.99 plus my Target card 5% off.

THREE. After seeing Lindsay post on the heart shape plates at Target earlier this week, I decided to grab four of them for us. I saw them at Target when I was there last weekend, but I didn't grab them. And now they are sold out. So I ordered them online and I hope they ship properly and are not broken. But tell me these are not the cutest plates? And at $3 a piece. A steal.

FOUR. Weekly funnies.

This.

This is basic math people.

How I feel about most Zoom meetings.

Considering I USED to fly all the time, I would not be up for this.

It's called the Covid 15 or 19.

I saw so many Bernie memes and they were all sooo funny.

Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
