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...
It looks like a fine hooky day to me, if you leave out the trip to the financial advisor.
ReplyDeleteI've got my fingers crossed for a hooky day this week. I might get to the zoo, or I might stay in bed all day. It's a toss up, at this point. :)
I had to laugh, your hooky day sounds like the one I have planned for Friday. Doctor's appointments and the car getting inspected, ooohh, watch out fun, here I come! At least you'll be getting things done! Enjoy your day with your husband ; )
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your hooky day. Most of mine end up looking like that too, but with less sleeping in and more appointments. Jobs are inconvenient little things when it comes to getting appointments scheduled aren't they? Although that's still better than the personal days I've taken over the years to stay home and grade papers. That's always no fun at all, except I do get to wear pajamas all day.
ReplyDeleteYour hooky day sounds a lot more exciting than my pulling weeds that got WAY out of control while gone for a week, making the girls try on school uniforms so I can see if we need new ones and making up freezer meals for a friend who lost their son in a car accident. Let me tell ya, I know how to have fun...
ReplyDeleteMm...sleeping in. That sounds good right about now. Actually just not being here sounds good right about now! *lol* I tend either get a LOT done on days I take off like that...or get nothing done at all...and both serve their purpose. ;) Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteIf it's a summer hooky day, I usually hide in the A/C and read or watch a bunch of movies. If it's spring, fall, or winter, I hop on the train and head to Chicago. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen hubby is off, too often we laze around the house, reading or idling on the computer. Sometimes (rarely) we go and do something like this weekend's blues festival in a nearby mountain town, where we ate and drank too much but have NO regrets. ;)
ReplyDeleteFor me, I have a hooky month, having quit my part-time job and needing to wait before looking for a full-time one to learn whether we'll be here or in a different city soon. I plan to whittle away at the clutter so that I either don't have to move it again or don't have to deal with it while working!
You seem to be one of the most responsible people I "know". Seriously...you deserve to play hooky! Plus...a workout in the park sounds magnificent! It's hurricane season in these parts so it rains every afternoon which means no walk in the park with my hubs after supper. Boo. Hiss :(
ReplyDeleteI hope you got a lot accomplished today! I'd love to hear about your new approach to the high calorie day. I'm positive that this trips me up too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a far more useful hooky day than one of mine, which usually involve a sleep-in (the fact I need one is usually the reason for playing hooky), reading in bed or in the garden, and baking. That work-out never seems to eventuate, just like all the useful things like getting my tax done. Best-laid plans and all that...
