What I'm Reading This Week #37

Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you.  I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal.  We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about.  Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps.  Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor.  I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing.  I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box.  So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....

What I'm Reading This Week #32

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you've had a good, productive week and are ready for a good, productive (or lazy) weekend...whichever you need.  We've enjoyed the not as hot temps for a few days but we're on the uptick back to the 90's.  Yay.   I've been exhausted all week so I'm hoping a good night's sleep is somewhere on the horizon.

Let's jump into...

  1. I am happy to see that kitchen transitional style has a lot of the elements in our new kitchen remodel. Glad to be on the front of a trend instead of at the tail end. That dog was so cute. Poor guy just wants to teach new people how to play his game. I do want to get out this weekend. Time for a change of scenery!

    1. The look on your face when you were proofreading was pretty funny...like "uh, we're just wrapping that up sistah!" YES...must get out of this place especially now that the Dbag is back from the workhouse.

  2. These are great articles! I read something yesterday that was very interesting and took the little quiz to see where I stood. Very honest (and humbling) assessment.

    No plans for the weekend other than grocery shopping, cleaning, and working. It's going to be hot and sticky here too so we'll be closed up like Fort Knox again until the temps and humidity go back down.
