What I'm Reading This Week #30
Happy Final Friday of July everyone! I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view. The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole. I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera. Nope. source When he poked it, it drained away. Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying. I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't. But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel. In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!! If we'd left it to the HOA dude, an eighth of the bottle woul...
Are you guys going away for Christmas this year again? I never had an advent calendar but my sister in law says Aldis has the best. Have an outstanding week!
ReplyDeleteNot this year but I'm hoping to do an every other year scenario so I know that we'll get the kind of Christmas we want. I'll have to check out Aldi's for sure! You too!
DeleteI have done inexpensive advent calendars for my kiddo, but it's not a regular thing. The beauty product one is a cool idea, but $70 is out of my price range too.
ReplyDeleteAs a bone deep Halloweener (laugh all you want) I get tired of my holiday missing out just because it's 3 months before Christmas. It's not that I don't like Christmas and those decorations, it's just that I really really like Halloween. A local Family Dollar has already clearanced much of their Halloween stuff to make room for Christmas stuff.
I just bought my advent calendar for the year. Sometimes we do well with them, other times we have to open a few days at a time.
DeleteI don't blame you at all. You really have to start decorating for Halloween mid-Sept in order to get in ample time with the spooky stuff. Thanksgiving is the true bastard child of holidays though. They're lucky to get a pilgrim thrown in for good measure in October and then they're gone except for Hobby Lobby.
I can't believe it's almost that time of year already. This year has flown by!
ReplyDeleteThis whole year has poofed in an instant! :-\
DeleteThese are cute crushes!!! I do advent calendars for the dogs...lol! We have a tree we hang with slots for biscuits and treats, and those two know right where it is and will sit and wait every morning after they potty outside. ROFL
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious and you have to record that. I bet that is the cutest thing EVER!
DeleteI do love a good Arnold Horshack reference. Go you!!
ReplyDeleteYou know it!! Extra points for you!! ;-)
