What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
I have to work today unlike most. However I am lucky enough to get to work from home today so that's much better than having to go in to work.
ReplyDeleteAt least now I have some links to check out during the day. Looks like some good articles to read there.
Going up north with a girlfriend after we get done working. At 5. Blah. But the evening promises to be fun! My daughter and I did go to the local parade yesterday though, and the Jazzercise class looked to be having so much fun we decided we want to do that too, so off to amazon to get a cd.
ReplyDeleteyeah im working too..Hubby is working too..we have the option to work from home, but if I stay home, my MIL will relax and I dont want to cook and work..hehe so decided to come into work and dont know why but hubby ran away to work too..lol..
ReplyDeleteWeekend I have extra work and might take the ILs to the baltimore aquarium...they wud prefer just going out to eat though..lets see...
Oh yes, I'm working today. Could have taken off but I'd rather do that some other time. I have to dog sit until Saturday, I need to clean because my Ma is coming for a visit and I want to make a good pasta salad. Other than that, not much is going on. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteYou always have the best finds for what you're reading. What a sweet story about the recipe cards. My mom passed down my great grandmothers hand written cards to me, and I definitely treasure them!
ReplyDeleteNo big plans for this weekend. The slow cooker will make an appearance to help with this heat, and maybe, just maybe the ice cream freezer. Hmmm......
I worked today and so did the husband. Sigh. I took 2 days off and I'm desperately trying to catch up now. Ooh pizza, yummy! And corn!
ReplyDeleteI just got home and as I predicted it was a crappola day. But I'm home now and am glad to have 2 days away from the Island of Misfit Toys. =o) I'm going to read that article you linked about chronic stress and your appearance--you peaked my interest as I'm pretty sure I have more cortisol running through my body than blood--*snort*. This weekend is a farmers market (so excited--my 1st one!) and some stuff around the house. It's supposed to be hot and muggy, so not sure how much I'll do outdoors. I did make a wonderful crockpot concoction yesterday of red smashed potatoes with fresh chives, half & half and sour cream. No butter as it didn't need it. Yowza, it was yummy! I'm considering making little patties with the leftovers and frying in a touch of olive oil for breakfast "hashbrowns". Have a super weekend! I'll shoot you an email this weekend to regarding our conversation. xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI worked yesterday evening and I have to say it was probably one of the worst days at work I've had in a long time. I think I got every singe asshole or crazy customer last night. I love the idea of chipotle butter, I hae been using feta and everyone around here loves that too :)
