What I'm Reading This Week #25

Hello and happy Friday from the land of the scorching sun.  We are in for absolute Hades conditions the next few days, right on cue for the summer solstice.  You know I'm not happy about that. 😒 Thankfully, my other 50% shade cloth just arrived and is airing out so they can go on in the afternoons.  I have stuff in the big planters that are not fans of scorching heat so I need to be as on it as possible if I don't want it to go to poop for other reasons to add to the current reasons.  (Rain, pests, etc) I'm tryin' y'all!  I just got my little lint rollers to roll aphids/larvae off instead of wasting shipping tape.  I swear to you I have not seen ONE BEE since everything went in.  There was this chubby bumble bee that would hang out when our lilac was in bloom and just zone out levitating so I thought for sure she would be here for it all.  Nope.  The second it bloomed, it was gone.  I haven't seen honeybees at all.  I've checked ...

Brought to you by the letter "E"

This is going to have to be a short one because now in addition to the "e" having gone out on my laptop, the "t" is going out as well.  Thank God the replacement keyboard comes today because pasting an "e" every time I need one sucks.  (In case you don't feel like counting the "e's" up to this point, I've pasted 33 of them!)

We had a great workout last night, here's proof...

I was a schweaty beast

740 calories burned with a nice at home circuit.  I still have whiplash from the rollercoaster Monday.  I've had a headache everyday from it.  It's official...I'm an old lady.  Sigh.  I would love to take a rest day today but I think we'll just do a fun cardio today.  I'm thinking maybe Dance Dance Revolution.

Here's a few pics of some dinners this week before my camera battery died.

Deconstructed "tacos"  No salt tortilla chips, arugula, ground chicken with enchilada sauce, extra sharp cheddar, green onions and roasted tomatillo salsa.


Mango Chipotle fish taco and a side of brussels with asiago.


We're having some friends over for a double birthday celebration and I'm in full cookout ready mode.  Here's the menu:


My intention is to print it out for the table but I'm almost out of black ink.  Everything is fallin' apart around here I tell ya!

What's on your agenda for this weekend?

  1. I feel so bad for you having to limp along while trying to type everything. Luckily the part is easy to replace and you'll be back in business very soon.

    Glad I am able to do something for you for a change :-)

  2. I am going to finally hit the farmers market for the first time this month and enjoy my one whole day off by not doing anything I don't want to. I see alot of time on the front porch reading and enjoying the cooler less humid days.

  4. The biggies this weekend is that I'm going to try not to (a)melt or (b) spontaneously combust. I'm pretty sure that's going to take up most of my energy.

    I am looking forward to getting my bountiful baskets basket tomorrow afternoon. I have no idea what will be there, but it's always good stuff. Then I can plan a menu around what fruits and veggies I get.

  5. If I recall correctly, the letter e is the most common in the English language. How's that for irony?

    My agenda this weekend is gardening and yardwork, interspersed with reading, writing and checking Facebook, same as every summer weekend. Although Hubby is talking about taking in a beer festival at a nearby town. Oh joy.

  6. DOn't you just love a sweaty shirt! I try to make my sweat rag completely damp before I leave!

  7. Down here, my shirt looks like that when I walk to the mailbox and back these days. :)

    I had planned to get a few things done around my house this weekend, but my grandmother oh-so-subtly said her rose bed needed weeding and it would require someone with muscles to do it. Hinting much, Memaw?

    Have a great weekend with friends!

  8. That SUCKS that the "e" is out - I can't believe you managed to get a whole blog cranked using the copy/paste feature without losing your mind. It sounds brutal. I've got mad respect for your dedication!

    I've got yard work/washing the dogs/waiting on the A/C guy to install our new A/C (yaaay!) on Saturday. Sunday morning, I'm doing a 5k Color Run event with some girlfriends from work, then I'll spend the next two hours trying to wash the colored cornstarch out of my hair/skin! Sunday evening my hubby and I will be at the race concert/after-party (the Spazmatics are playing - lots of kitchy 80's themed musical fun!) I'll be sore and tired on Monday, but it will be worth it!
