What I'm Reading This Week #16
Good Friday to you! Literally. I can't believe Easter is here. Anyone else having epic wind and rain storms over the past month? I mean good friggin' luck trying to enjoy any time out there and we're not afraid of weather. As I type, there are 40mph gusts. I went out to paint the critter cages on the planters and feel like I have hypothermia at 47 degrees when yesterday's weather forecast said it would be 74 today. Da fuq? Guess who finally took the bedroom Christmas tree down Wednesday? It was neutrally decorated so it was fine but it came on every night and gave a cozy glow. I knew one day I would look at it and know it needed to go to sleep until November 1st. That's the other thing, I will be decorating for everything extra early from now on. August 1st- Fall decor as I will thoroughly be over summer by then and given that's the day Mom passed, I'll need something to lift my spirits. November 1st it'll be ...
Yeah, wow, had no idea spa's cost so much. I figured 5-7K max. And they say those are made to last a lifetime yet nearly every hot tub we've ever used on vacation at any given rental home has had problems of some kind so we know that isn't true. Was a good weekend overall but short as always.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow that's expensive. I would have guessed around the same as the Mr. I wonder if the ones without all the bells and whistles are much cheaper? They do have inflatable ones (like the pools) for much less but I can't speak to the quality. I only know that because a friend got one a couple years ago for under $1000. No idea if it's still around and kicking though.
ReplyDeleteNot a lot here this weekend. Lego Club at the library Saturday and the indoor pool on Sunday. Plus all the usual weekend chores. At some point, when I wasn't looking, I got old and boring.
That pooch is so stinking cute!! As for the hot tub, that's what I want to live in at some point. Just put a little roof over me and I'd be all set. lol Glad you got your kinks worked out with the massage therapist and she helped you to feel better!
ReplyDeleteKodiak. I use the high protein box. I add egg whites and scoop of protein powder to further help the macros. Mine rises just fine. It might be the egg whites. I reduce the amount of water to compensate for egg whites. I cook in waffle maker.
ReplyDeleteNo they are not the same as the higher carb/sugar brands. (But I cannot eat something that high in carbs with almost no protein. I would spend the rest of the day trying to catch up my protein.) But husband and I like them on occassion. He eats with blue berries and honey and nuts. I eat with bit of lite butter. To us they are the right amount of good. I actually like that they are not "too" good, do not leave me wanting to finish the box. And very filling.
