What I'm Reading This Week #31

Good morning and welcome to August.  Time is so weird, isn't it.  It's insane we're starting the 8th month of the year but yet if I thought back to where we started the year in snow, that seems like a lifetime ago.  It's been a very long year yet seems to have gone fast - how does that work?  Anyhoo, I hope you're ready to roll for the weekend and the week didn't drop kick you too hard.   Once again our HOA was refusing to do their job and wanted to check the drainage.  This problem is on our subfloor. ..above anyplace for drainage to be an issue with no gutters above it.  Then the woman in power sits on emails all friggin' day and purposely sends things out on her way out the door so another day gets wasted.  Oh the things the Mr and I say about her that I can't say here.  I was shaking so bad Monday night I wanted to go out and rip the damn siding off myself but we worked out instead to try to work off the frustration.  I called o...

What I'm Reading This Week #28

I am so ready for the weekend.  Don't know why but, you know...weekend.

Let's jump right into...

9 Things You Need To Know About Varicose And Spider Veins  (Cannot wait to get those bastards lasered.  Thanks a lot paternal genetics and morbid obesity!)

Estrogen Patch in Newly Postmenopausal Women May Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk  (Attention to those five to 36 months into menopause!!  Might be something to call your gynie about!)

19 Pictures That Will Make You Say ‘Me As A Wife’  (13 and 15)

I don't know that we have concrete plans yet for the weekend.  Aunt Flo is here and there's probably going to be chocolate involved.  I thought about a paddling road trip before the heat of the day sets in. But I somehow always end up with a wet butt when I paddle and since cotton rockets are not something I ride, a saggy raft in drawers doesn't sound too appealing either.  But I kind of still want to do it.  I believe that just went into the TMI category.  Eh...nothing you long timers probably haven't read before.  To newcomers...welcome to my brain.

What are y'all into this weekend?

  3. I don't blame you for being leery of entering the water right now. =o) But built-in flotation devices are at least a good backup. Snort!

    I went to go visit the Cool Cat today and brought him lunch. His birthday is next month so I'll be bringing him lunch again with some gifts. Have a nice visit, but got caught in a monsoon coming home. And yet it didn't rain a drop here in town. Crazy.

    I don't have anything set planned for the weekend other than a meeting tomorrow morning. One thing I need to do and it just goes right out of my mind is to buy a simple 20x30 rug to go under the microwave cart that's been sitting in the garage for a month. Part of the linoleum is destroyed from the last cabinet by the stove, so I thought putting a rug on the floor would make the cart a little more even (and hide the mess until I can get new flooring, hopefully this winter), but I constantly forget about it. I'll look when I'm at a store, but if they don't have the right size, it goes right out of my head -- until I have to reach into the bin of cereal/plastic wrap/aluminum foil that's sitting in said microwave cart's spot. I have a mental block there apparently, so I really need get this done. I can't park my car in the garage until I do, so you'd think I'd get it done before the first snowfall.

    Enjoy a great weekend with some good weather, at least the next two days!!
