What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
Mmm... I could seriously huff lilacs all day. I love love love them! I don't do a lot of ME stuff. I suppose spending time with my nieces really makes me happy so I do that often.
ReplyDeleteFlowers are one thing or maybe a new kitchen gadget that I've been coveting. I'll also get myself a pedicure. Seeing my nice, shinny, well painted toenails will often make me smile and it can last for weeks.
ReplyDeleteWe have a wonderful flower shop down the street that sells $5 bundles of tulips in springtime. I'll buy those just to spiff up the living room and they always make me smile. I'm also known for buying myself a candle every now and then. Lemon Poundcake is my current favorite...and it came with a car air freshener...oh good gravy, did that smell so good!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite "me" thing is a massage. Don't do it often but oh, it is so wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteDaffodils in springtime. I love to buy them in a cheap little bundle and watch them open into a little patch of good smelling sunshine.
ReplyDeletei get myself just because presents from time to time. typically when i am near a mall that has a lush store.
ReplyDeleteto add to your list of favorite flowers, lily of the valley. love them so much!

Did you get a new camera? Your pics are looking extra sharp and beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessy! Yes, I got a Canon 60D which is quite the upgrade from my 20D. (I looked at 70D but couldn't justify the extra cost for basically the same camera as a 60D except metal) I absolutely LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like to get myself a really good smelly candle that I can enjoy while working in my home office or soaking in a bubble bath and when I can I also get myself three pieces of really good chocolate and eat them away from everyone and everything - not because I'm hiding the fact that I'm eating chocolates (GASP!) but because it is MY time and my time alone!
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty purple flowers!
