Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap

Guten Morgan this fine Monday.  I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week.  (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days.  I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight.  I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.)  Friday was exhausting y'all.  I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10.  Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias.  Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over.   So Friday morning I got to work picking of...

It's Friday y'all!  Woot!

I don't know why but this week seemed to drag on.  But the suspense doesn't have to for...

We're trying to figure out what to do this weekend.  A lot of it will depend on how my leg/heel feels.  I'm hoping that ultrasound, massage and taping will work some miracle.  The summer is slipping away (not that I'm complaining!) but I'd like to get at least a few more paddling sessions in this season instead of just the three that screwed me up!

What are you guys into this weekend?

  1. Weather and both of our feet/legs permitting it would be nice to paddle this weekend but don't be in a rush if it doesn't feel right. You're right about summer though - it's flying by! Fall is really on the radar now!

  2. I like the last of those fancy cabinets - I could really use a drawer for my pans/lids/plastic containers instead of them all being piled together in my "cupboard of doom". Maybe I'll go out today and buy a plastic tote that will fit and see how that works, and if it does I can install a drawer later. Some of those ideas are really great, but I have no room for them.

    Have a great weekend! I hope your legs are up to some fun. I'll be finishing up decluttering/deep cleaning my upstairs this weekend and then tackle the basement in small chunks.

  3. I'm all about body language and energy around my pups. They are so in tune to my energy, thus why I cannot cry or yell in front of them if I'm upset. When Elsie got into the skittles I didn't say a word to her; just quietly stood in front of her and had a stare down. She ended up hanging her head and laying at my feet. She KNEW what she did and I didn't have to say a word. I wouldn't engage her the rest of the night and she was not happy about that. A toy got flung on my lap. A head rested on my knee. A lick to my hand. Me? Nada. Would not make eye contact with her. I resumed normal activities the next morning with her and you'd think she just won the dog lottery. LOL Hand signals work best with Finn - must be the border collie in him. =o)

    Going out to mom's today to check on the car battery, then will go out there again tomorrow morning and hopefully get that all taken care of. So lots of driving. And I'm excited for the Olympics to start.

    Enjoy your weekend and be extra careful with your legs and feet! xoxoxo
