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.

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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHave 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.
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)
ReplyDeleteGoing 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
