Fingers Crossed Weekend Recap
Good Monday to you fine party people! I hope you got to enjoy the mid-May weekend. We kind of did. What was not in the brochure was a nice power outage Friday at lunchtime just as the Mr was trying to cook his egg in the microwave. While he hooked up the Bluetti's to the fridge and crockpot (kicking myself for not doing that Thursday), I put his egg on a small cookie sheet and put it over two candles and covered it with another cookie sheet. It might take 3 hours but if you think with the price eggs that we're losing that thing, nope! 😝 Welp, I was finally able to transplant the wee (and not so wee) seedlings to their permanent homes. I was basically forced out there due to the power outage Friday but thankfully it wasn't oppressively hot. I got the clematis' potted up to bigger pots , sweet peas transplanted, my herb pot together and the zinnias and snapdragons in the wall planter. Thankfully the electricity came back on by 4pm so...
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.
