What I'm Reading This Week #24

Sup y'all!  Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!)  I hope you had a good week and stayed cool.   I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought.  I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund.  So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled.  It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem.  Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy.  I don't know what the deal is with that.  I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay.  Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home   (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...

Post trip weekend recap

Happy Monday guys!

We took a nice little trip Wednesday night...


We were there to see this amazing show...


I will review the show eventually but let me say if Patricia Ward Kelly comes anywhere near your city or close enough for a weekend trip, GO!  I have recently fallen totally in love with Gene Kelly and this was just completely amazing.  Even the Mr who really knew nothing about him came out a fan.  As I said, I'll cover more in another post but wow.  So glad to have seen this show and so much for your money as well.

We made a pit stop in Niagara on the Lake and here's a gift from Vader for you.


I hope you didn't already have one.  ;-)

It was grocery restock weekend so there went 2 1/2 hours of our evening yesterday.  We got started with our workouts when we typically finish them and the Mr came up a few minutes early to start cutting my veggies.  Then I came up and he's like "what is that noise?"  Tornado warning on the weather radio.  Of course we immediately said "it looks to hit Wakita head on."   (affiliate link) *blows kiss to heaven*

So I heated up dinner and 3 minutes later we were eating it on our laps on folding chairs.


Does anyone else with a basement home gym think that they would likely die down there from their free weights being projectiles in a tornado/hurricane?

I will recap the Toronto trip a little more but I'm a pooped pup so I'll sign off for right now.  I must say though, we're very happy with the results on the food/weight front.

What did you guys do this weekend?

    Not too bad of a drive and to be able to leave the country and all that is pretty cool. Now my car is international! I did have a good time and people who are even semi-aware of who Gene Kelly is should definitely check out the show!

    It sounds like you had a fun trip. I wonder about my basement as a tornado shelter too so you're not alone.

    Last week was spring break. My folks and I took my son to Mesa Verde. We had a good time, saw a lot, learned a lot, and had one really great hike. Unfortunately the ruins themselves are only open for ranger guided tours, and they don't do those year 'round, so we had to look from a distance.

    Spring Break was not long enough. Have a good week.

    We don't have a basement - my plan is getting into the bathtub in our main bathroom (no windows, middle of the house) and put a mattress over us. That way when the tornado sucks us up, at least we'll have a soft landing??? I love Gene Kelly too! Sounds like you guys had a great weekend. We spent the weekend at the AT&T store with cell phone issues...I hate that you are basically forced to upgrade!
