What I'm Reading This Week #18

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May.  We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later.  We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages.  We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order.  I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all.  If we can get a plan together to tackle it then maybe we'll have our weekend plans for next weekend as long as it's not hot yet because we don't want to be in a sweatbox. Now let's peek into: Dietitians Agree, Eating More Might Be the Secret to Your Strongest Year Ever   (Volume eating FTW.  It's been ...

Maui dreamin' and mind blown

Yesterday I talked to my friend on Maui about setting up a massage at our place.  She got certified since I saw her last and said she'd travel on the island if I didn't want to come to the homestead.  It's not that I don't want to go there but we've got an oceanfront condo and doing one out on the lanai 7 floors up as the ocean laps below sounds pretty friggin' good to me!

I also started looking through geocaches to do on vacation.  If you guys don't know what geocaching is, it's like a treasure hunt of sorts.  You're given coordinates to a place of interest anywhere in the world and it can take you to some fun off the beaten path places both locally and out of town.  (Go to www.geocaching.com to learn more if you're interested in a fun, family friendly activity!)

I think I found some fun ones on Maui to do including this one.  Kind of irritating to think 4 years ago I knew about that cache and was this close to it.


Oh well, we'll get it this time...I hope.

The Mr had a headache when he got home and he took some aspirin and fell asleep on the couch.  Then when he woke up, I was tired so I made him give me a glute massage to unkink the muscle tightness that was yesterday's leg day.  We did Turbo Fire and had jalapeno salmon burger and potato wedges for dinner.

We caught up on the DVR and that included the latest episode of The People vs. O.J. Simpson.  Y'all want a fun tidbit I discovered last night?  As I was admiring the behavior of the older black juror lady with the glasses, I couldn't help but think of what a lovely job they did casting her.  I don't know that they ever called her by name but she just had sweet eyes and looked so familiar to me.  I went on imdb.com to see what else she was in.  Her name is Susan Beaubian and I was reading through her past jobs and then I got to one that made me yell "holy crap!" especially when I saw this picture...

That's her on the right...with O.J. Simpson.  She was his WIFE in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (affiliate link)  and now she's a star juror in the movie based on O.J.'s trial.  The Mr and I were like...

Then it got blown again when we found out Shemar Moore friggin' left Criminal Minds!  I had to just stop watching everything because I can't afford to lose that much more brain matter after those two things.

What fun activities do you like to do on vacation to keep things interesting?  Any TV shows blow your mind lately?

  1. Time to get out the old Geocache - I love it! I miss doing that more and it's always a great excuse to get out and hike! Looking forward to a massage on Maui. It will be my first massage so who better to do it than someone we kind of know already?
