Maaan, we (NL) got robbed from our happy hardcore party (If what is stated by the Dutch broadcaster is true, then the DQ was out of proportion).

I was rooting for Switzerland, France and Ireland, expected Croatia to win and was bummed that Norway got so few points.

I also recommend something other than Mod Podge, although I used that when I started! I personally use a brush-on Testor's Dullcote or Glosscote, I like those a lot! Best of luck!

I also did not look up into the sky outside.  But I had awesome sleep which hasn't happened for the longest time. 

Wow!  Amazing, wonderful find!!!!!!!   Congratulations 🎉

today we were planning to do Mother's Day dinner. it was cut shot because of an emergency that came up at work. so we pretty much ended up dropping off food and leaving. it turned out that i didn't even need to be involved in the work issue. which is good. but i'm mad that i didn't know that before we left my parent's. i'm going back over tomorrow and i'll hang out for a while. i felt really bad but i also couldn't relax if i thought i was going to get in trouble for not taking care of the work issue.

i've posted some here about my mom having some health issues. i can't remember if i talked about it since we got a diagnosis. but she has a form of Parkinson's. it doesn't really cause shaking but it affects her balance and speech. so it's like the words are there but she can't get them out which is very frustrating for her.

i'm going to try again tonight to see the auroras. apparently they might still be visible. especially further north. so if you missed them try again late tonight
