What I'm Reading This Week #35
Howdy do and happy last Friday of August! I hope you had a good week and if your weather was like ours, it was FINALLY under 93 degrees. Don't get me wrong, I know sweater weather isn't here but it was nice to not have the AC working overtime (set to 76) starting at 11am every day! It was nice to not walk out to water the garden and walk into a wall of humidity so I will take what I can get. Speaking of which: With this 3" San Marzano , I shall be able to make enough sauce to cover 7.3 spaghetti noodles. 😒 Now let's get to: How to Stock Your Pantry for Quick & Easy Meals in Minutes (Ooh, I need to crockpot some black beans for some sweet potato black bean burritos.)

Pretty kitty, I love stores like that with a roaming pet. It's like the store owner is doing a public service as well as selling "stuff". I wonder if there have been studies about if people buy more in stores with a pet because they feel more relaxed?
ReplyDeleteI'm nowhere near ready to decorate. The way my cats tore up my tree last year I'm in no hurry to go back down that road. The little guy will start chompin' at the bit here pretty soon though so it will go up then.
I love stores that have pets too. It gives you a warm fuzzy and it's smart to do. Only problem is the Mr is allergic and so are a lot of people so that can cause issues sometimes. Plus the shedding one cat did on the antiques when we were in TC was like "ugh, I wonder how many people bought a clump of stray cat hair with their items?" LOL
DeletePeople swear by the curved scat mat for kitty Christmas tree acrobats. Some people are against it but it should only be a short term learning curve. ;-)
Great weekend and, as always, a great way to kick off the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Christmas season is on, baby!
DeleteEvery time I read a post by you...I swear we were separated at birth. I too grew up with that same tree in our house. I recently went to an antique store in Rochester, IN that had this same tree and I bought it. Along with those ivory plastic candles that we used to put in our windows. Just reminds me of Christmas' past.
ReplyDeleteLOL...who knows, maybe we were! ;-) I've got the candles in the window too! Actually you just reminded me that the light is out on the one in the kitchen and I need to change it. Anything that reminds me of Christmas' past is exactly what I'm looking to recreate!
Deletesounds like fun!!!
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was a blast as I said goodbye to my IN laws!! hehehe
Oooh girl! Time to run around the house nekkid. HA!
DeleteSeeing that tree made me get all misty eyed. My grandparents had a tree like that and to me THAT is Christmas. I need to find one...
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely get one. It makes us smile all goofy like every time it's on. The funny thing is, we both remember a normal green Christmas tree with multi-colored lights and both of our parents said we had white trees! Weird how kids memories get skewed but we both agree this one feels most like "us." :-) Check Etsy. They have lots of great trees there!
DeleteThis looks like fun! And yum. Marshmallows in hot cocoa is just the best, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a cuppa cocoa without them!
