What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
Yeah that was quite a paddle last night. We really have come a long way this summer in terms of our stamina and it's funny but I honestly don't see other paddlers out anywhere near as long as we are most times. When I wanted a paddleboard I thought it would be a great workout and also a great way to relax but we do very little relaxing and a lot of paddling. I'm cool with that!
ReplyDeleteI will be working today and Saturday, and then Sunday is our last day with our son before he heads to Ft. Benning for Army basic training. So we will be doing whatever feels right at the time and enjoying it. Tuesday we go to Milwaukee to watch him take his oath and say goodbye at the airport. I'm probably going to be a mess of emotions.
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome weekend!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just got done with an 11 hour day and I'm pooped! Plus I'm on-call --booooo.... But only 2 weeks to go! Tomorrow we are taking mom to my uncle's nursing home for his 80th b-day lunch in Naperville. Then she has plans with some friends so she'll head thataway and we'll head on back home to the pups. Then it's just housework and possibly grocery shopping if I'm up to it. But there is so much in the freezer I really need to just starting pulling things out and planning meals around it. My knee has been a mo-fo for me so this humidity is not helping. I'm limp-a-long Cassidy --so naturally the dogs know this and like to body slam me. They are in cahoots I'm sure of it.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I have to get ready to go back to school. That means I have to go shopping and find some slacks that fit. Sigh. I hate shopping, that's why I put it off so long, but at least I'm buying smaller sizes rather than bigger sizes this year.
ReplyDeleteI had hope for the grocery saving article, but then I found out I already do everything suggested there. Too bad, I'd like to save more.
I have popcorn ceilings in some of my room, and I'd love to be rid of them without scraping. The wood plank look is great. I think I just found my first summer project for next summer. Now I just have to remember.
I'm definitely going to be in line for the pumpkin mini wheats.
