What I'm Reading This Week #31

Good morning and welcome to August.  Time is so weird, isn't it.  It's insane we're starting the 8th month of the year but yet if I thought back to where we started the year in snow, that seems like a lifetime ago.  It's been a very long year yet seems to have gone fast - how does that work?  Anyhoo, I hope you're ready to roll for the weekend and the week didn't drop kick you too hard.   Once again our HOA was refusing to do their job and wanted to check the drainage.  This problem is on our subfloor. ..above anyplace for drainage to be an issue with no gutters above it.  Then the woman in power sits on emails all friggin' day and purposely sends things out on her way out the door so another day gets wasted.  Oh the things the Mr and I say about her that I can't say here.  I was shaking so bad Monday night I wanted to go out and rip the damn siding off myself but we worked out instead to try to work off the frustration.  I called o...

Swamp ass hot and what I'm reading this week

Well, despite it not being summer yet, we have officially gone to swamp ass hot mode.  I hate this time of year.  Nothing but pop up storms so you can't leave your umbrella open or your patio furniture uncovered if you don't have a sunroom like us.  So it's not a season I can particularly enjoy.  
But enough of my weather hatred, let's get to...

Well I'd like to say I have nothing in particular planned for the weekend but since we're having my mom over for dinner for her birthday, the house needs completely overhauled and I ain't doing it alone.  (The Mr shutters with fear as he proofreads that)  So that's how we'll be spending today and tomorrow.

What are y'all into this weekend?

  1. It is getting a bit swamp ass hot out there. I tried taking a walk on my lunch yesterday at work and had to cut my walk in half a bit so I could go to the car and cool off or else it was going to make me look like a completely sweat-drenched ogre.

  2. Since I was down for the count with strep C last weekend, I have to get my butt in gear this weekend to do mom's memory board for her 70th birthday next week. I got a group of her friends (10 total) to do a list of 7 things they like about her, admire her, funny stories, etc. My goal is to have 70 comments total to commemorate this birthday. I think I know which board I want to get from Hobby Lobby and just bought a couple pairs of fun pinking shears from Michael's after work today. So I'll be a busy bee with that while still recovering from this nastiness. Oh yes, and the Stanley Cup Final tomorrow night.
