What I'm Reading This Week #23

Hello there!  We made it to Friday.  Halleluyer!  Did anyone else get that collection of butt hot days earlier in the week?  No thanks.  Oh yeah, you know what's fun?  When you're watering your plants and you're wondering why mushrooms are starting to grow in planters and you check the bottom and realize the reason you got a great deal is because there are no drainage holes.  😤  So I had to tip the planters and drill one big one not only in the 4 smaller ones, which was hard enough but also the two big 16" ones holding the clematises.  Nothing like drowning your plants for 3 weeks.  I mean for real, who sells those?  I've never in my life bought planters that didn't have drainage holes.  So there's a tip for you to make sure you check your planter bottoms before planting anything.  Oh then yesterday, I went out to water after a super hot day and brought the tape out in case I saw nasties on the leaves.  Well, I'll sp...

Jailbreak complete and what I'm reading this week

Sorry I've been a little less chatty this week on responses.  I took my declaration of a jail break seriously last Friday and got the hell outta Dodge to keep some spark of sanity.  The neighbors saw fit to let their a-hole demon dogs out every 20 minutes to bark for 10 minutes at a time and then the other neighbors dog would bark for 6 hours at the first time the other dogs barked.  These mongrels are turning me into a dog hater.  No actually a bad owner hater.  I want to well...do not nice things.  Between that and another visit from the Christmas vandal who this time was messing with the snow on our lawn, I'm ready to pick up and move.

But enough of my trip to Twitchville, let's get to...


The Type-A Guide to Taking a Spontaneous Vacation  (Gave it a go this week.  I must say I prefer a bit of structure even if a rough outline)

Why Apple Cider Vinegar Needs to Be a Mainstay in Your Life  (I've been drinking it 3x day to help my body recover from those heinous antibiotics)



31 Genius Uses for Essential Oils  (I've been using these so much more over the past few months!  Love 'em!)

The Crazy Thing We Didn't Know About Burning Fat (Until Now)  (Well, I did share a similar story a few Fridays ago but in case anyone missed it.  ;-)  )

Why Did Old Phone Numbers Start With Letters?  (I wondered this when the Mr and I were binge watching The Wonder Years a few weeks ago)


Answers for 15 of Your Biggest Questions of 2015  (I don't know if they're the biggest but you know, adequate for fillers sake)


Find Substitute Ingredients  (For those times when you're halfway through a recipe and out of a major ingredient)


Why You Can’t Rely on Calorie Counts (and What to Do Instead)  (Of course we can't rely on it.  We're all basically screwed.  LOL)

See How Much the "Perfect" Female Body Has Changed in 100 Years   (I'm waiting for the roll oriented body to come back in style like Renoir's "After Bathing" portrait)


Dover Police DashCam Confessional (Shake it Off)   (Best.  Video.  Ever. in its entirety)

  3. Went to a meeting this morning and found out one of our members died this week--such a sad story. The hubs was let go from his job this week and got a small severance, but we will eventually lose our house (he won't make nearly the same money as he did, especially with the economy here), so some stress there. I managed to get all the laundry done today and a trip to Salvation Army to give donations (5 bags and a box out of the house!). So tomorrow hopefully will be a trip to the movies to see The Wedding Ringer. I could use some humor in my life right now! LOL!
