What I'm Reading This Week #22

Howdy do and welcome to the last Friday of May.  😑  Even though it was a short week, it always seems just a tinge longer than the previous week.  I'm getting antsy because I want to see blooms.  When you're growing from seed, it requires a patience I don't naturally have and trying to keep things from getting to everything before it has a chance to.  Then reading about some God awful hornworm that can just come in and decimate your tomato plants overnight.  It makes me wonder at what point do I put up the insect netting over the bucket veggies.  Other than that, not much else going on this week. Let's hop straight into: Does Walking Build Muscle, Burn Fat, or Both ?  (The part about e-scooters is often a discussion as kids on them and e bikes rocket past us in the park or on a sidewalk going 20 mph.  These kids are going to have ZERO muscle.)

Monday already eh?

Happy Monday all!

We road tripped to the Mr's hometown Saturday and it went by in a flash.  It was nice to see snow since I doubt we're getting any more of measurable degrees.  I was jealous of the New England's noreaster but I saw by Sunday the covered trails in Vermont were already melty so that was short lived.  We went to a vintage store and saw some cool stuff.

Being a font nerd, I loved this and it reminded me of print shop in high school.


It was kind of fitting seeing this Hawaiian tiki bar.  If we had the room, it would so be ours.


I fell in love with this old school Flair stovetop.  That thing even has the owners manual!  So cool!



We ate too much and were both kind of ticked that we gained this week for no reason so we got that crappy feeling of "screw it, we were super good, listened to our bodies, drank our water, etc and got nothing for it."  I know, great attitude, right but there it is.  Stranger things have happened when we've done that so I'm not even sweating it at this point.  Can't do anything about it anyway.

Sunday the Mr woke up with a horrible headache.  I tried everything I could to help him from massage, heating pad, peppermint/jojoba oil for the pain, (affiliate links) a nice brunch and eventually, he had to go to one Excedrin and a nap.   We had to get more fruits for the week and then workout. and before we knew it the day was gone. 

What did you guys do this weekend?

    I had a great time in the old hometown but, yeah, it sure did go by fast this time. What's funny is we ended up being there later than usual too and it still all went flying by. Thanks for helping me nurse that awful headache. Made Sunday kind of a wash but getting out for a walk was just what I needed.

    I spent a lot of time playing catch-up. Between routine medical appointments and sponsoring a field trip I was ont at work Thursday or Friday. I sure paid for it this weekend. I did have a girls' night Saturday and taught a swimming lesson on Sunday. Both were really nice.

    I'm glad you enjoyed Saturday, and I hope the Mr's headache is completely gone today.

    That stove is awesome! What a fun place to browse and buy. I had a really good meeting on Saturday, then finished up some paperwork, did a load of laundry, then to my ultimate delight binge-watched almost 5 hours of Who's Line is it Anyway and laughed myself silly, which felt really good. Sunday I had breakfast with a friend of mine, then we went grocery shopping, did more laundry, and romped around with the dogs. Not the best "mental" weekend, but getting those laughs in really made a difference.
