Fingers Crossed Weekend Recap

Good Monday to you fine party people!  I hope you got to enjoy the mid-May weekend.  We kind of did.  What was not in the brochure was a nice power outage Friday at lunchtime just as the Mr was trying to cook his egg in the microwave.  While he hooked up the Bluetti's to the fridge and crockpot (kicking myself for not doing that Thursday), I put his egg on a small cookie sheet and put it over two candles and covered it with another cookie sheet.  It might take 3 hours but if you think with the price eggs that we're losing that thing, nope!  😝 Welp, I was finally able to transplant the wee (and not so wee) seedlings to their permanent homes.  I was basically forced out there due to the power outage Friday but thankfully it wasn't oppressively hot.  I got the clematis' potted up to bigger pots , sweet peas transplanted, my herb pot together and the zinnias and snapdragons in the wall planter.  Thankfully the electricity came back on by 4pm so...

What I'm Reading This Week #29

It's Friday!  Woo hooooo!!!!  (I refuse to call it "FriYAY."  If a phrase makes me want to flick the person in the forehead who invented it, I can't in good conscience use it myself.)

Let's slide right into...

  2. I agree w/ your take on "FriYAY." It its me the same as "My bad." Are we in preschool?

    I hope you enjoy your plan free weekend. I'm sure you'll keep yourself occupied.

    I have a long to do list I've been procrastinating on and now a group of friends wants to do the Marie Kondo thing and motivate each other to get our houses cleaned. I started with my closet in the fall and still haven't put together the pieces I bought to install in the closet to help organize. So I guess that is tops on my list. Most everyone else on it is yard work which is indefinitely postponed due to the monsoon which is settling in over the Ohio Valley.

  3. With the hubs having shingles it'll be an indoor weekend for me aside from a few standard errands. I plan to work in the office and toss as much stuff as possible before my tombstone reads: Death by Paperwork

    I hope you guys can get out and about a bit and don't end up with humidity and skeeters after the rain. It rained buckets today while I shopped for the work folks...I was a drenched dog. =o)

  4. We went to a Milwaukee Brewers game on Saturday, Sunday is a car show. Yes, we are going to places that currently have fewer people than are in Oshkosh this week for EAA. However, the proposed drone show looks like it might be a fun thing to view. Hope I get to see some of it.
