Labor Day Weekend Recap

How do?  It's the start of a new month again. I have to say, decorating for Fall early this year was absolutely the right thing to do.  I want to say I put stuff up August 12th-ish and not only did it put me in a better mood but I usually decorate early September and then it feels like a deadline.  Having all of this up was calming in the blazing heat and humidity and gave me something to look forward to. The Mr and I had our birthday celebration Saturday.  I had him pick up my favorite cupcakes and it's the first year we didn't have an actual cake which felt weird and kind of sad.  I grew up on grocery store cakes with overly sweet frosting and roses or balloons on the edges.  Sadly since everything is off-site and shipped into stores now, they are as dry as the desert no matter where we try to get them.  Even Mom and Pop bakeries have the same problem.  I really don't want to bake my own cake so cupcakes it is and they looked like they hit it ou...

What I'm Reading This Week #18

Happy Friday all!  Is it me or when it hits this time of year, you get the itch to start buying all of the flowers even though you know there is another frost likely looming that could kill all of your plants?  Must refrain!

But enough of my weather woes, let's get to...



50 Most Overrated Tourist Spots in the World  (One person's "overrated" is another person's dream.  Shut it.)

The 10 Best Beaches In The World In 2018, Revealed  (I expect them to pull a sheet off of an entire beach for the "reveal.")

50 Iconic Movie Locations You Have to Visit  (We've got some travelin' to do)

15 Popular Travel Destinations You Should Avoid In The Summer  (Most are international but I had to laugh at Martha's Vineyard because we were warned by locals a few weeks after we left (mid-May) that it was going to take 3x as long to get where you need to go and their patience will wear thin.  LOL)

The 25 best places everyone should visit this year, according to travelers who have been there
  (Apparently, the US only has NYC to offer.)

17 Ways Qantas Is Going to Make a 17-hour Flight Comfortable for Passengers  (Don't even look at those first class seats...they were $11K per person!  Just looking at the economy seats gave me compartment syndrome.)

10 Hiding Spots Burglars Always Look First  (They'll never look in the hemorroid cream box though.  Dammit!!!  *looks for new hiding place*)

Why You Feel So Stressed Out After A Vacation  (Because inevitably people who don't contact you for months at a time suddenly feel compelled to email you about 20 things going wrong in their lives and expect an immediate response, someone has a computer "crisis" (aka- I can't connect to X) that needs fixed NOW, the work you left specific instructions on how to complete in your absence is still untouched upon your return and people in general won't just leave you the hell alone!!  *Bitter...party of two*  Reason #1354 why I refuse to read email on vacation anymore.)

Can you tell I'm in a vacation state of mind?  HA!

You got any vacations planned this year?  Whatchu doing this weekend?

  1. Disagree with Hobbiton, NZ being overrated! It was a very cool experience and they told you so much about the set that I'd never find out otherwise. Being film set buffs, I bet you guys would enjoy it too.

    Also disagree with Walt Disney World, cable cars in San Fran
