What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
I had a great time at the festival and yes we did eat some junk food but we balanced it with some serious walking, so I feel good about that. It all just went by fast the way the weekends tend to do of course cause I'm wondering how it's Monday already again. Have a great week everybody!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad the weekend is over as well. I got a ton of yardwork done, donated blood, took my little in the lake paddleboating and out for awesome pizza with my neighbor. Have an amazing week!
ReplyDeleteI had a mini vacation, as I took off Thursday and Friday, but I was not ready to return to work this week. It has been crazy humid here, so it was nice not having to work or do much of anything on a set schedule. We took in a concert Friday night at a local fair and also took in some rides. Then on Saturday and Sunday I finally had a chance to make use of the kayak that we bought from Costco last winter. We paddle on the ocean, so the weather, tide and wind are always a consideration. My partner's son and I managed to get in two good long paddles at my father-in-law's cabin where we spent the remainder of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYay for elephant ears!! Does da bestest!
ReplyDeleteWeekend was pretty good. I had a great meeting on Saturday morning and then had lunch with a friend and that was a lot of fun. Got home mid-afternoon and the hubs had just done all the vacuuming and had walked the pooches, which was wonderful. Sunday was grocery shopping and buying a new mower which went very smoothly compared to the fiasco a couple weeks ago. Then it was laundry, lots of paperwork and computer stuff. It's another nice weather day today so I've spent some time outdoors and enjoyed the fresh air.
Have a super duper week!
