Amber's Rant:

This is #45 of 52 episodes for 2021!

Our little piece of the Wet Coast is slowly heading towards normality again after that crazy storm we weathered, with the roads being fixed and the supply trains getting back to schedule! Tis a bit of a relief I gotta say!

I hope that everyone out there is doing well and keeping warm as Jack Frost has started coming round at night to dance across the lawns! I remember pretending to be a dragon walking through mountains and crushing them when I was walking to school as a kid in this weather – I would pretend my breath was fire. I wonder if that helped keep me warm without me knowing it?

Remember to take that time for yourself, we are about to get super hectic with the X-mas month coming up, and you will need all the peace of mind you can find! Also for those adults out there, dark spiced rum tastes excellent in hot chocolate – just saying.

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.

News this week:

GoDaddy Data Breach exposes 1.2 Million active and inactive managed WordPress Hosting Accounts – GoDaddy announced on November 22 that there was a data security breach; they discovered that unauthorized third-party access to its hosting environment on November 17 gained access through an exploited vulnerability. They gained access using a compromised password beginning on September 6, 2021; nearly every sensitive data point associated with hosting a WordPress website was compromised, including customer email addresses, admin passwords, sFTP and database credentials, and SSL private keys. GoDaddy states they have already taken steps to further secure its provisioning system and is continuing its investigation, though as their stock took a large hit, it may already be too late for them. We may be witnessing a mighty giant tumbling – we shall see what happens!

Amber's Rant:

This is #44 of 52 episodes for 2021, and our wet coast is drowning!! According to Farmers Almanac, we were to expect a horribly wet winter this year due to where we are, but really – I think the birds are swimming through the air!

Hopefully everyone out there is remembering to get out and enjoy the little bit of watery daylight we have at this time of year! Gotta get the Vitamin D! I know I give my little family all vitamin D supplements throughout the winter – it really does help. And so does taking time for yourself – I even took the time to play Fable 2 this weekend! There is still a lot to finish unpacking after our move – but sitting down and just playing video games for a few hours sure felt good! Be sure to take those few hours to do something fun and enjoyable for yourself!

Amber's Rant:

This is #43 of 52 episodes for 2021! We are almost at the end of another truly frenetic and busy year!

I personally consider Halloween my own New Year's, and this year I moved on Halloween! That was a total ‘Alice down the rabbit hole' kind of upside down, topsy turvy weirdness! Though the new place is quite nice, I had to take a little time to get my brain back online. It's truly amazing how the best laid plans always seem to go completely awry!

I am stoked to be back, missed being around everyone here! Remember, no matter what's needing doing (like my entire kitchen right now, and the last of the boxes in all of the rooms…), take the time you need for you! Have a bath, or a nap, chill out, and just take that breather before getting up and moving on. It reeeeaaaalllly helps in the long run!

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.

Amber's Rant:

This is #41 of 52 episodes for 2021! I'm not here this week, though I wanted to leave a note for everyone just to say Happy Halloween everyone!!

Hopefully the storm that started on Thursday evening isn't still going on Halloween and that everyone can get out with the kidlets to trick or treat! Also, if the storm is still going, that means I am moving in the storm… wish me luck everyone!

Enjoy the pumpkins and the candles, and of course the parent taxed candies. 😉

Amber's Rant:

This is #40 of 52 episodes for 2021! We are just about at the end of the year – doesn't really feel like yet another year has just about passed us by – thought it has been a very busy past year for us.

I hope everyone is ready for Halloween! In my opinion, it is the best holiday of the entire year. Way better than anything else – free candy, and literally the most trusting night of the year! What other night do people willingly allow complete strangers to knock on their doors, and accept things from complete strangers? It's essentially offering up and accepting gifts with all the people in your area for hours at a time. Plus, there is the added bonus of getting to dress up.

Remember to take some time for yourself, even on Halloween! Block a little time out of your day to just chill without any sort of media. It will help a lot with the whirl wind of holiday craziness that is about to come round.

Amber's Rant:

This is #39 of 52 episodes for 2021! Starting to get exciting, what with Halloween drawing nearer and nearer – and if the old wives tales are to be believed, it looks like we will be having a rather chilly winter: The spiders are making HUGE webs with REALLY thick spider silk! That is supposed to mean the upcoming winter is gonna be really cold. There's another saying about squirrels going nuts with foraging – but I really haven't noticed anything different this year regarding squirrels… though I did come across this picture of a fella who had this squirrel stashing nuts in his car, and the squirrel had managed to completely fill up the entire inside of his car. That was kind of entertaining.

Remember: even when things are getting exciting and fun, you still need to give yourself a break! Too much of anything, even a good time, can be exhausting and have some negative effects on you! Be sure and get that sleep, down time, and that alone time. All of which can be done more easily without the constant barrage of any of that social media stuffs out there! It does wonders for the soul!

Ambers' Rant:

This is #38 of 52 episodes for 2021! The weather is cooler, and I already find myself in the kitchen waaayyyyy more! Partially to help heat the house, but also because it's just that time of year. There is a pumpkin recipe I saw years ago that I still want to try – you make a soup inside of a pumpkin by putting everything into the hollowed out pumpkin, then baking the pumpkin. I don't remember everything you do, but that was the gist of it – maybe I will actually get around to it this year!

I personally think that everyone should try to get into the kitchen at least once a week about this time of year, drag the kids in, and go nuts with your ingredients! Make goodies and try new recipes out! When you get going in the kitchen, and the kids are there, it always leads to some amazing conversations. Even better, make sure there is no music or anything, and start singing fun songs, (however horribly!), with the kids while cooking! Cooking and baking together can lead to some amazing times of fun and enjoyment.

If baking and cooking is just not your thing, see if you can teach your kids how to do cats cradle. We all knew it as kids ourselves, I'll bet that there are not many kids who know how to do that these days! Find the time to sit and chat and just enjoy each others company – whether it's kids or friends or family in general. It feels pretty awesome, and really helps with the whole emotional and mental health. Those dishes can wait. 😉

This is #37 of 52 episodes for 2021! Add the numbers 37, 52, and 2021 together and you get 4 – which is neat because we are heading into the 4th season of the year. I hope that everyone is all prepped up for winter! Be sure to start pulling out those sweaters and heavy coats and those lovely rubber boots! After such an amazing summer, we are almost certain to have a really cold winter – seems to be that way every time.

Remember to pull yourself off of the media for at least an hour a day – get those kids off too before they start getting stuck on the idea of what they want for X-mas before we have even passed Halloween! Also, removal of media is always sure to get true conversation going.

Ambers' Rant:

This is #36 of 52 episodes for 2021! Can you smell the coming of Halloween??? I can! Fall always smells like candles, leaves, and wood smoke.

Not sure what it is, but I have been listening to the music of my teens a lot lately – and I realized, a lot of it actually has some pretty good messages in there. It also has some really good sound to it! Mind you, the music of my teens ranges from Cherry Poppin Daddies, to The Beatles. Soooo… there's quite of bit in between – but I was thinking that maybe everyone should take about a week or so, and rediscover the music of their teens/childhood!

I think it could be a great idea to go down the rabbit hole of rediscovering your music from years abound – I have found that it has nearly drowned me in content and hilarity as I remember singing HORRIBLY to this song or that with friends, or developing film to System of a Down blaring. Sometimes I think we need to be reminded of the carefree version of ourselves, so that we can move forward a little lighter.

Also, we can (legally) drink beer to the same songs – and it's way better beer this time around!
