Fingers Crossed Weekend Recap
Good Monday to you fine party people! I hope you got to enjoy the mid-May weekend. We kind of did. What was not in the brochure was a nice power outage Friday at lunchtime just as the Mr was trying to cook his egg in the microwave. While he hooked up the Bluetti's to the fridge and crockpot (kicking myself for not doing that Thursday), I put his egg on a small cookie sheet and put it over two candles and covered it with another cookie sheet. It might take 3 hours but if you think with the price eggs that we're losing that thing, nope! 😝 Welp, I was finally able to transplant the wee (and not so wee) seedlings to their permanent homes. I was basically forced out there due to the power outage Friday but thankfully it wasn't oppressively hot. I got the clematis' potted up to bigger pots , sweet peas transplanted, my herb pot together and the zinnias and snapdragons in the wall planter. Thankfully the electricity came back on by 4pm so...
Good, if I have time at work I will have some good reading today. Mahalo!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading (grading) kids' papers and I'm always reading at least one book. Right now it's a creepy one that I can't read right before bedtime. I had to turn on an old episode of Friends last night in order to be able to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI just finished Eleanor & Park, a young adult novel by Rainbow Rowell, who happens to be a cousin of mine. It is a wonderfully well written novel, about two 16-year-olds and their journey as they fall madly and deeply in love, meeting and beating obstacles along the way, and hoping that their love can last forever. Now I'm going to start Rainbow's first novel,a novel written for adults called Attachments. I hope it is as good as Eleanor & Park. I also sadly bought two books about prostate cancer, since hubby was just diagnosed. We are beginning a totally different kind of journey today than Eleanor & Park experienced, as we're heading out this morning for CT and PET scans. Wish us luck. (I think one of the reasons I loved E&P so much, is because it reminded me of hubby & my own's experience as we fell in love as teenagers, over 40 years ago. Sometimes that first love does last!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered Phillipa gregory's a respectacle trade...loving it...want to go home and continue:(
ReplyDeleteI'm reading lightweight fiction these days and really enjoying the relaxation. I also enjoyed your link to the 50 date-night ideas; I got some great ideas for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a fun romance story as well as a very good book called The Compulsive Overeater. I also do daily read books for both Al-Anon and OA and those are always good. Funny how the day I pick to read is exactly what I need to see at that exact moment. Cracks me up every time!
ReplyDeleteGreat articles, thanks for sharing, I am reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I usually have about 3 books going and pick one depending on my mood each day.
