What I'm Reading This Week #14
Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer. No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere. I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years. I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer. I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out. When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival. source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer. He lived authentically himself which is something we all hope to say when o...
Nice backyard space! I grilled asparagus for the first time...delish! Every time I had it at a restaurant it was mushy. It was yard cleanup weekend for me. One of my bffs came out for a visit, first time in a year. Her Mom is going through same thing as your gma and lives with her so she's been Mia for about a year. She's also a new gma and I got to see the bebe for the first time! Also went to a friend's house for a barbecue followed by a fun game of dominoes.

Pretty good weekend overall but too short as usual. Glad we got the patio cleaned up. It's always nice to have the option to go out there when the weather is cooperating.
ReplyDeleteI love that figurine. Our first dog's favorite toy was a hedgehog that mom gave him. Any time she's come over he'd dig through his stash of toys and pull out that one. =o)
ReplyDeleteThis weekend was laid back and I was grateful for that. Went to a meeting, took the dogs for some drives, and puttered around the house. That's about it. Oh yeah I was supposed to meet a friend for breakfast and was at the restaurant for 45 minutes and she never showed. I felt bad for taking up the waitress's table so I ordered breakfast and left her a tip that would have covered both of us. My friend apparently had a migraine and emailed me instead of calling me. I didn't think to have to look at my emails at 8am on a Sunday so I didn't get the message until I got home at 10am. Not happy about that. But I enjoyed a nice meal out by myself!
I didn't get a lot done this weekend. I went to my folks' Thursday to pick up my boy and then came home on Saturday with a stop at a birthday party on the way back. Sunday I made it back to the gym (after a too long hiatus, time to get my chit together) and took him to the TMNT movie. Today is a day for yardwork. I'm so not looking forward to it, but it won't do itself.
ReplyDeleteA walk in the park and a cute little reminder to slow down and take are of yourself and then a great brunch. It sounds like a pretty good weekend for you.
