What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post.

When the hubs and I were younger we used to do big fireworks displays and that was a lot of fun.

ReplyDeleteI love professional firework shows, not crazy about crowds though so it depends on the situation as to whether we go or not However I hate that many of our neighbors in our development shoot off their own rockets. 1) I'm always certain their ineptitude will result in my house being on fire; 2) it scare the heck out of my dog; 3) it goes on until all hours and 4) the next day there is firework trash all over the yard and pool screen.
