Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
Yet again some great links. I hope I have some time today to read them all. Looking forward to the weekend big time!
ReplyDeleteUm yeah, you're not going to have any time today but there's always time over the weekend...wait, Grand Theft Auto. Hmm. You'll probably be skipping them this time. ;)
DeleteI agree about the letter to Santa from a great Big Brother. I hope Santa and Big Time Rush can sync their schedules.
ReplyDeleteMe too! That broke my heart when I read that. Seriously, why don't people have better things to do?
DeleteI had already read a few of these ones ... great minds :)
ReplyDeleteYou know it baby!
DeleteDon't remember how I found your blog, but I've been reading back over your past posts and I'm impressed with the choices you and your Mr. have made. I know it's not always the easiest choice to make, but you've been consistent with it over time and that's impressive, daunting, and inspiring all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteMy dude and I, we're about to start on a similar track. I was wondering if you would mind writing about some of the tools you are using, and how you use them. I can tell you are nutrition tracking nut (in the best way!) - what are you using to help yourself? Is it an app? a spreadsheet? a reference tool? Do you track meals, or can you use it to plan with as well? Also, you report your calories burned in a workout - is that part of your Heart Rate Moniter? Or is it a function of your home gym equipment? And if you've covered this earlier, point me to a post, and I'll go back and read some more :)
And too - SLACKERS UNITE! I'm sure that with $800M in first day sales, the Mr. will not be the only one in the nation glued to the screen this weekend! Other games are still waiting in our XBox Q, otherwise it'd be on at my place too!
So great to see you and thanks for the kind words! We personally use FitDay but it's because we bought it over 10 years ago and built up a huge database. In talking to many people, My Fitness Pal seems to be the most popular and best apps, etc.
DeleteAs far as what we use for home DVD's and Heart Rate Monitor and such, on the left sidebar, click SATW Favorites and it'll show you what we use. Don't feel obligated to buy from it if you don't want to but I list everything from that stuff to even food prep stuff I use.
I hope that gives you a good starting point! Feel free to contact me through here or FB if you have more questions!
All right, help me out here, pal. I believe I am this DINK you speak of, but I'm not sure of the acronym. 'No Kids' I get, but the DI has me at a loss. =o) Enjoy your antique show!! I will be doing a lot of studying for this 4 hour exam I have next Friday for my new job (yeah, didn't see that one coming), and have to go shopping for the hubs as it's his birthday and our 15th anniversary next week (got married on his birthday). I'm looking forward to some nice fall weather (I'm sitting here in a zip up exercise jacket with a big, goofy smile on my face). Have a super duper weekend! Toodles Noodles!
ReplyDeleteDouble Income No Kids. :) There's a cool website called DINKLife where people can do meet ups or talk about stuff related to the chosen lifestyle. Ugh...4 hour exam! Is that their way of weeding people out?!
DeleteOoh smart move for him getting married on his bday so he'll never forget your anniversary! My grandparents did the same thing on her bday! I've got my sweatshirt all ironed up, jeans ready and ready to pop some tags! :-) Enjoy the weekend sassy pants!
