What I'm Reading This Week #18
Happy Friday everyone and welcome to May. We had a long week of getting the garage together so the Mr could finally park in it six weeks later. We still have some work to do in there as far as purging and such but we needed to get the space useable again since it's been a holding tank for our old countertop/sink, old grill waiting to be picked up by a friend, insulation, built planters and patio table and extra fencing from critter cages. We haven't had the mental drive to figure out how we get the shelves in order. I think I'm going to have to look up some garage organizing articles or something because it's really overwhelming to look at it all. If we can get a plan together to tackle it then maybe we'll have our weekend plans for next weekend as long as it's not hot yet because we don't want to be in a sweatbox. Now let's peek into: Dietitians Agree, Eating More Might Be the Secret to Your Strongest Year Ever (Volume eating FTW. It's been ...
Wow, week 26 already?!? That means we are exactly halfway thru 2018. Crazy how fast this year is going. Happy Friday everybody. And since it's the de facto Independence weekend don't go and blow off any fingers with those firecrackers!
ReplyDeleteYes it is and in other ways it seems like the longest year ever. You know with 4th of July in the middle of the week we should expect noise from tonight until next Sunday.
DeleteI saw Poncho on our local news and he cracked me up with how he'd lay down by the man's mouth to hear if he was breathing. Priceless! I actually recorded it so I can watch it repeatedly. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe cut the lawn last night after work since it was the "cooler" day before the weekend and I'm so thankful to have that done. Heat index of 115 is expected for tomorrow, so the dogs will not be happy being cooped up but they'll have to exist on pup cups instead. =o) I have a meeting in the morning and will grocery shop afterwards since the hubs is working. Then I'll be indoors for the remainder. Have a super weekend!
I want to rub Poncho's belly...after he gives me faux CPR just because that has to be the funniest sensation! Glad you got the lawn cut, no one should be out in that foolishness!
DeleteI haven't commented for a while because I've been crazy busy (kidding, I loved your post yesterday and you made absolute sense). I still read every day, but I've been using my chromebook a lot more. I made a point of getting the laptop fired up this morning because it has been a long time. Since I haven't checked in, this is kind of going to be a ramble of a response and I hope you don't mind. I finally got AC in my house at the same time as you guys had your replaced. So expensive, but so worth it. It's been almost 110 every day since Tuesday and my poor swamp cooler couldn't have kept up. We went cabin camping last weekend, and my dad rented some kayaks. Now I understand why you enjoy it so much! The closest places for me to use one are both an hour away or I'd be doing purchase research right now. Congratulations on the new car, I know that's a "stinky" job, but I hope you are enjoying it. I have to start looking to replace mine. I love my car, I've even named it for the first time since my college car, but it has a few problems and I need to have the research done so I know what I want when the time comes so I'm not flying blind. I will be buying used, and have my first choice picked already but since there isn't a guarantee they will have what I want when I need it I want to have some back-up choices. I'd like to go test drive a few vehicles, but... well you know how that goes. The last place I bought a car from treated me pretty well though, so maybe I'll go back there. The wedding post today was pretty cool. It's definitely a win when they call it off before the wedding (a painful win, but a long-term one) and it's more of a win that they were able to agree to auction off the wedding. Some couples would just be too angry and busy fighting and blaming to come to that agreement.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! and time needs to slow down now, my summer is half over and I am not amused.
ROFLMAO!! Yes, it looks like both of our A/C's are going to get the workout this summer. When I come inside and 76 feels like a chill, there's no good in dat! Yay for kayaking! My inflatable was $700 so you'd have to yak a lot for it to be worth your while so I'd say renting is the way to go and you don't have to find a place to store it. :-) Good luck on the car hunt! It's never fun but so worth it when it's over. The Mr gets to do it twice b/c my mom's getting a new car the end of next month so he's giddy on that one. Enjoy your summer and good seeing you! Now, recommence your crazy busyness! LOL
