What I'm Reading This Week #26

Well you made it to Friday!  I don't know where y'all are but unless you were near Glacier National Park that got snow this week, you were probably boiling in your own pudding to quote Charles Dickens.  I do not dig 90 degrees by noon and it feels like everything is frying left and right including us.  Most of the week I had the 50% shade cloths on the veggies to attempt to save as much as I can.  I need to get the next batch of lettuce in the shade planter to see if I can successfully grow there over the summer since it never gets direct sun.  I told the Mr the other day I feel like nothing is in the right place back there.  I have a lot of containers and I don't know if I need to put some of them on a little ledge since the 5 gallon buckets take up so much room or not.  The zinnias being in a long planter on the fence were a mistake but they were only put there because I had so many extras and didn't want to chuck them.  I have a few struggling...

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?
