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 ...

Keepin' it loose and what I'm reading this week

It's aloha Friday...no work til Monday...oh sorry, wrong site.  ;-)

It has been quite a week and I'm ready for a bit of a break.  I must say I'm very grateful for the massage techniques I picked up from the masseuse for my facial muscles because I'm trying to keep them loose.  I've been clenching constantly and I want to de-bunge mah face, yo.

But enough about my tight jaw...let's get to...

Fiber From Whole Grains Linked To Longer Life  (Good because I lurve me some whole grains)

Arcades in a chase to recapture gamers  (For the Mr)

Angelina Jolie Pitt: Diary of a Surgery  (Angie's op-ed...a good read)

20 Low-Carb Substitutes That Don't Suck  (Not sucking = good)

8 Slang Terms from 'The Breakfast Club,' Decoded  (It cracks me up that someone actually needed to "decode" the slang)

How to Remove Every Type of Stain, in One Simple Chart  (Handy!)

6 Things That Kill Your Organizing Game  (Oh...uh.  This is me)

Someone re-created the best parts of "The Matrix" and "Jurassic Park" with Lego blocks  (For the Mr)

7 Ideas for Cute Easter Cupcakes  (Can you believe it's next weekend!?)

We have nothing really planned for this weekend since we did a road trip last weekend and then next weekend is Easter so we shall wing it.  Plus it's supposed to be cold so no real desire to be out in that anymore.

What about you fine folks, whatcha gettin' into this weekend?

    The Breakfast Club can't be 30. My word. My teens watched and loved BC as much as hubby and I did. It is definitely a timeless classic.

    I just got do with 11 straight hours of work that just about brought me to my knees -- and I'm on-call this weekend. BUT I maintained a good mood and did whip my stapler at anyone, so it was a victory for all around. =o) I have nothing planned other than talking to mom on the phone and puttering around the house. Next week is a "normal" work week so my routine will return which will make me happy and far less tired. Enjoy your weekend!! xoxoxo
