What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
. 
Happy Monday 😣
ReplyDeleteSorry you had a sucky day. The pup is a cutie!
Ma and I ventured out to Iowa to my Aunt's 80th birthday party on the farm. I tell ya, as soon as I pull into the farm, I am overcome by such emotion, so many wonderful childhood memories. US 5 city kids spent summers with our 9 cousins picking corn shucking corn, defeathering chickens, milking cows and bailing hay there. Great friendships were made with my cousins that have lasted all these years. All the hugs and laughs, I just love them! My uncle is 92 and I always make sure I take the opportunity to thank them for what they have done for my family. They always cry when we leave. I stopped by my ex's sister's
House on the way home. She is a challenge. She has a debilitating disease, prettyuch homebound and has almost nobody to help her out. It's very sad because she has a daughter down south who is worthless. She sacrificed everything to raise her and there is no gratitude or even love from that boa constricter. How do you give hope to someone you see none for? Unfortunately, I feel like there a lot of people in her shoes.
I just want to call up her daughter and tear her apart.
For clutter, you know I always your flylady, she help me develop habits that keep my house unclutteted and clean 90% of the time. It's kitschy but if you stick with it, it works.
I just got on the bandwagon for the kondo folding method as well. Here's hoping for a great week!

DeleteWe didn't make it this far without honesty and, unfortunately, sometimes honesty can be brutal too. But I feel like it was a necessary evil. That pup was a cutie!
ReplyDeleteBasketball Saturday, then an evening with friends. Sunday I watched the Superbowl and dozed on the couch. Woo to the Hoo for the exciting weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable pup! Looks like he'd give good kisses. Saturday we bought a recliner that I'm very excited about. Yesterday I took care of a lot of errands and did some cooking and felt good with all I accomplished. I think I was asleep within two minutes of hitting the bed though...the day wore me out but in a good way.
ReplyDeleteWe had some deep conversation too. Big sigh. On another note...cute jacket:)
