What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
Congrats on losing most of the vacation weight off so quickly. I do good to lose that much in a month for the last few month (actually most of 2011). Extremely frustrating as I am still in mid 250 but now (was not in my past weight lost attempts) I am patient and consistent. Have a good weekend and I am looking forward to our first holiday Monday cookie recipe just in time for my first neighborhood cookie swap (still not sure I am going to it- I'm still socially awkward but never know with me might go last mn).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being down! Especially with the cycle going. Mine started yesterday and egads the craps are bad today! The symphony sounded fantastic. And today a Victorian Village? That just puts a big smile on my mug. =o) Enjoy it and your weekend of baking up some fabulous treats!
ReplyDeleteHaving a lott with Aunt Flo here is GREAT! Well done. :) I dread menopause because of looking what it did to the other women in my family. I have really bad genes. ;)
ReplyDeleteBaking fiend? That sounds familiar, just don't have too many nibbles of the goodies as you prepare them.
ReplyDeleteNice, nice rebound!
ReplyDeleteI'm 53 and *still* haven't hit menopause. Maybe I'm just not trying hard enough? :)
You're not the only one who gets emotional during great musical experiences. I tear up whenever people REALLY sing the National Anthem. (Crying at a baseball game; it's hard to explain to the neighbors!)
ReplyDeleteMenopause is the greatest!!
The symphony and the village sound like SO much fun. We went looking at Christmas lights with the kids last night. Such a great time of year!
ReplyDeleteMusic just does that. When we attended the Celtic Woman concert I didn't even understand the words they were singing and I was crying for my heart to break. Go figure? lol So glad you are having fun!!
