Boring Weekend Recap

source Monday, we meet again.  You come on like lightning you saucy wench.  I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool.  We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun.     I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to.  The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart.  The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise.  It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know.  It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay.  He is.)  Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...

What I'm Reading This Week #51

Well, it's here!  The time of year you either love, dread or tolerate.  HA!   Obviously, I'm in the love camp (okay, maybe tempered with a little dread and tolerance in there on a few things.)  I hope you all have all of your shopping done and your lists checked twice.

Let's sled right into...

Your Toothpaste or Mouthwash Might Actually Be Staining Your Teeth  (I noticed that after using Crest 3D that my toothbrush cap was starting to yellow and wondered what it was doing to my teeth.  So I now "re-brush" my teeth with water (swishing doesn't work) and there hasn't been a problem.)

Eating What You Want Over the Holidays Like...  (Such a crack up as the Mr just told me "I'm at the point I don't give a f___ ... give me all the cookies")

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  Lots of busy work and getting the house together but I'm hoping for a chill day tomorrow for our 26 year dating anniversary.   Try to take a moment to savor the next few days.  It all goes so quickly.  Take an hour and drive around to look at Christmas lights, heck even bring along some hot chocolate or pick some up.   Plug in the tree and get lost in the twinkle of the lights.  Watch your favorite Christmas movie that you can recite dialogue along with it.  Most of all, remember the reason for the season.  Be nice to people who are cranky on the roads or in stores...they can't help it they're not as together as you are.  ;-)

I plan to post some next week but I've got company coming so I may not be around until mid-week.  We'll see!   Have a very happy holiday - whatever you celebrate.

What do you have planned this weekend?

  1. It was a long day today so I'm glad for the weekend. Tomorrow morning I have a meeting that I'm leading so I need to get to the church early. Then it's off to the 'burbs to see my uncle, then home to do laundry and finish making my lasagna for Sunday. The meatballs are done and in the fridge so I just need to crumble them up tomorrow for the sauce. Phew! So glad to have that part done. I'll be doing a bit of baking on Christmas and that's it.

    I hope you guys have a wonderful visit with your friend and the merriest of Christmases! Enjoy the together time and the down time!
