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'm so sick of hearing about Amazon delivery drones. For crying out loud, the guy they interviewed on 60 minutes (a real reputable new source there *eyeroll*) said it wouldn't even begin to think about happening for TEN YEARS.
ReplyDeleteSo that means it will never happen. So folks need to just calm the eff down over duh big bad drones gonna invade my space to bring me junk from china I don't need anyway.
(this mini rant is not directed at you in particular, just the general "OH MY GAWD" kerfluffle in general).
I read the over/under rated food trends thing and now I want bbq and caramel (not necessarily together). And those cronut things look NASTY.
Luckily you don't have to read the drone article, skip it! ;-)
DeleteLOL...I always want bbq and caramel! I don't understand the stuffed cronut thing. That chef in NYC acts like he invented it, is patenting and trying to sue from what I read somewhere and sorry to burst your bubble Jacques but we have a bakery who has been doing it for 22 years. They're not stuffed with lemon cream and bliss inducing. Now I want a doughssant!
Bitter cold here, but no snow. Last weekend I got a weather alert saying to expect 6+inches (which is a lot for us at one time) but that never panned out so I'm kinda sad. I think yesterday's high was like 14 degrees and today will be more of the same. I'd rather have the snow.
ReplyDeleteUgh, bitter cold is no good without some pretty white stuff to look at! Get with it mother nature! Have a great weekend!
Delete(or a huge meal with your MIL and a few turtles)...
ReplyDeletenot gonna lie.. all I saw in my head was a pizza party with you, The MR, MIL, and the ninja turtles.
ROFL! Yep, it was us and Donatello, Raphael, Leonardo and the last one I can't remember. (And some caramel and pecans coated in chocolate)
DeleteThe t-shirt idea was really cute, but it drove me nuts that the t-shirt edges were all crooked and sticking out! :-) Okay, maybe I'm a little wacked...
ReplyDeleteThat's what scissors are for. ;-) (And yes, you're a little wacked...HA!)
DeleteGoing to NY Saturday w/ my Mom and a friend. Sunday will be a rest day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time in NY!
DeleteI've stopped being a fan of snow since I have to drive all of God's creation for my job. I'm a nervous nelly know when I watch the weather. I'm happy to see it when I don't have to drive it in though. This weekend let's see... just took one dog to the groomer, the other to the vet for an infection in her foot. I have to work tomorrow until noon and work on Christmas cards. Have the laundry going now so I don't mounds of it piled up for the weekend. My football team doesn't play until Monday night so that frees up my Sunday. But tonight is our college team play for the MAC championship so I'll be glued to the tv in about an hour and a half.
ReplyDeleteYeah I love watching it but not being out in it. We'll have to be in it tomorrow so I hope the snow warriors are doing their jobs. Good luck to your college team!
