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.) What Happens to Your Body When You Start Lifting Weights After 50 (Stay strong, sharp, and independent—no matter when you start.) Ditching This Common Food Type Could Double Weight Loss, According To Scientists (It makes sense and I've started to cut back on them for ...
Just glad we're safe and we can enjoy our Wonder Years marathon as we ring in the new year! Hopefully 2015 will be a wonder year for us!
ReplyDeleteYeah me too. That could've been disastrous especially given our diminished nasal capacity over the past week. Now, get off the phone so we can finish up season 5!
DeleteI hope the you're all fixed up now. Gas leaks are nothing to mess with (as you know). Down the street from my folks' a while back they had a gas leak in the main line and it ended up shooting fire out of the ground like 20 feet high. Maybe not quite 20 feet, but it was scary.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your marathon. I don't know what we're doing either, but we'll be staying home too.
Been there, done that. Lived with no gas (thus, no hot water or stove/oven) for ten days. Ew. lol May the year ahead be filled with stress-free health and some good laughs, to boot.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your heater!! My gosh, you can't catch a break! 2014 just plain sucked. I really can't think of too many fabulous moments that stand out to be honest. I know there were some definite blessings sprinkled throughout the year, but I've been in a mental fog since February when I got mom's first email that she needed me to take her for surgery because her cancer was back. Since then, I've been muddling through each day and I wonder how I did it. Truly in a fog. So I hear ya...pfft to 2014!!
ReplyDeleteMy tookus was up at 4am for work and I told the hubs this morning I was looking so forward to coming home from work and taking a nap! Snort! I haven't napped yet, but if I make it to 10pm that will be amazing. My concession for the day is we're ordering dinner online and picking it up -- that's the extent of my driving. I have a meeting to go to tomorrow morning so I'll be up early again but will have the day to chill and relax. Just started my new job this week so my mind is filled to the brim with information that I can't begin to process. So a day off couldn't have come at a better time!
I hope you and the Mr have a good New Year celebration-- at home doing what you want to do--as it should be! So long 2014!!
