What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
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
