Belated Weekend Recap

Hola peeps and happy Tuesday.  Anyone else get engulfed by the wildfire smoke over the weekend?  Three days straight for us with lots of air quality alerts.  I hope my Canadian friends are doing okay. It was a bit of a lazy weekend to start until it wasn't.  (Thanks to me, I'm sure the Mr is mumbling under his breath.). I have been throwing myself into projects this month to keep myself from spiraling over Mom's birthday this week.  Not to mention constantly fighting every aspect of gardening and I swear I typed that sentence before that last time I tried in 2020.  I have fungus gnats in the elevated planters because of all of the damn rain we've been getting and the soil can't dry out for them to die off.  So I got some mosquito dunks that can be cut into 1/8's and put into a gallon of water overnight and then water the area to kill the larvae then dry the soil to kill the adults.  This is apparently common with organic gardening but frustrating...

What I'm Reading This Week #48

Happy Friday all!  Can you believe tomorrow is December 1st?  

DECEMBER!

I can't even, y'all!  Let's get right to...

Healthy Weight, Healthy Mind: A Formerly Overweight Physician Offers Her Advice  (Sound advice for sure.)

Woman Celebrates Divorce By Blowing Up Her Wedding Dress (I don't know why this made me laugh so hard.  Actually, I do.  The dog running in the second shot like "I'm outta here people!")

We don't have any definite plans that I'm aware of.  I'm sure some Christmas movies, hot chocolate and sitting with the tree plugged in will be in order and I'm totally down with that!

What are you up to this weekend?

  1. Wow, yeah this is crazy how fast we got to December. 48 weeks into 2018. Seems like just yesterday I was marveling at seeing week 1 in your Friday links. Happy Friday everybody!

  2. Lots of plans for this weekend. Two minor hockey games, the local village Christmas tree lighting party tonight, a pancake fundraising breakfast with Santa tomorrow, and I want to get the outdoor Christmas lights up at some point. I also want to start my holiday baking.

  3. I was really hoping Burpees would be on that list of exercises to avoid :) But I'm happy to never do another Superman again as well :)

  4. Great articles. I'd seen the wedding dress one last week and it cracked me up!

    As for the weekend I just finished the very last of my shopping, which was pretty much gift cards for the hubs he'd mentioned. I have a meeting tomorrow, then a drive out to the burbs to meet a couple of friends for lunch. I grocery shopped this morning so we wouldn't have it to do over the weekend since the hubs probably has to work tomorrow. So aside from laundry, which I'll start on today, I only have some wrapping and boxing up to do and I'm all done. Yippee! I also bought a couple of pine wreaths for outside that smell really good. I put them on either side of the garage and moved the bows to the bottom and they look nice. We're due to get monsoon-type rain tomorrow so it's going to be muddy and floody. LOL
