Summer Holiday Weekend Recap

Hello and happy Monday to you!  Did you melt this weekend?  My Lord it was hot.  And what do you do when you're us on a hot weekend?  Dig out a tree obviously.   😑   Remember the pic of the tree from last week after the landscapers hacked it up? It went bye-bye.  We were going to attempt to save it to possibly see if my friend could plant it at her new home (even though it should be done when dormant.)  Well, after determining the roots attach to the Earth's core, we had to scrap that idea.  We tried to get out early enough but it wasn't.  We hacked off the top in sections using some really great pruning shears that made that job super easy then the Mr lobbed off the top so we could begin on the roots.  We bought a shovel called the Root Slayer and I will say it did an amazing job getting through most of it.  Neither of us are at our strongest right now so despite knowing we could've continued with chipping away at ...

Happy Valentine's Day! (and What I'm Reading This Week)

Happy Valentines Day to the best online friends a gal could ask for!  Do something nice for yourself today from me!  :-)

Let's skip straight to the good stuff!

Dear New Girl at the Gym  (I know unfortunately not EVERYONE thinks as openly as this girl but I sure hope it's the majority)

The Science of Fat  (This is a long one...courtesy of the Mr)

This Infographic Reveals the Secrets of the Happiest Couples  (Also courtesy of the Mr and we're happy to report that except for a few 'fighting' points we need to improve upon, we're a happy couple!)

30 Cheap and Awesome Date Ideas Under $30

Labradoodle Creator Regrets Breeding 'Frankenstein' of Dogs  (I'll have to show this to our Goldendoodle friends)

32 Famous People Rejected by Saturday Night Live  (Pretty impressive list!)

There Are No Words To Describe How Weird This Wrestling Video Is  (I absolutely remember watching this and losing my chit as a kid)

Ask Dr. Nerdlove: When A 'Nice Guy' Won't Leave You Alone  (Poor Duckie)

14 Simple Ways Peanuts Taught Us What Love Is  (Insert Peanuts theme as you read it)

Since the Mr proofread this, I won't be divulging how I plan to celebrate with him but sometimes it's nice to indulge in the holiday.  It takes more effort to hold a grudge against it than to print out a free Valentine and remind them that you love them.  Or stand nekkid in front of them wearing a saran wrap bathing suit.  Oops, I guess I ruined the surprise.

Any weekend plans?  Celebrating the "holiday?"

    You have your caboodle, I have my scratch and sniff stickers. I have a sort of memory box that I keep and only stumble across every couple years when re-organizing. It's got scratch and sniff, Duran Duran buttons, and a few other things from my teen years that I didn't want to throw out when I packed up to leave home. I just tripped over it this week and am holding out on reviewing the contents, using it as a reward for when I unpack a few more boxes.

    Happy Valentine's Day! The hubs and I just exchanged gifts and plan a nice casual evening at home. We don't go out on this holiday because it's too crowded and the restaurants have such limited menus. So we are going next weekend to a place we haven't tried, but others have raved about to me. He'll be getting the "Steak Sinatra" and Lobster and I'll be perusing to see what I'm going to get. Looking really forward to that next weekend! This weekend will be paying bills, gathering up tax info so I can do those at the end of the month, and house cleaning. I want to get as much taken care of this weekend so next weekend I'll be free as a bird. =o)
