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.   Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...

Hump Day Poll: Um, That's Weird


The Mr learned something new about me whilst in Vermont which is hard to do after 29 years together.  I HATE sunny days in the winter especially when there's snow.  Like, hate it.  Just like noises overwhelm my senses, so do visual things like bright sunlight bouncing off reflective snow.  If there's snow, I want a cloudy day that makes me want to snuggle under a blanket not a sunny day that makes me want to be outside but it's 19 degrees and my nostrils freeze together upon stepping foot outside.  I actually get irritated when I see sun during the winter snow maybe it's because a part of me knows the sun is going to melt my treasured snow no matter how cold it is.

What seemingly weird to others quirk do you have?

  1. If I have a rhythm in my head, I have to tap it out using either my fingers or my toes. When I was a kid I was taking guitar lessons and the teacher, who was a bit of a hippie, saw my toes moving inside my shoes and said "whoa, whenever I pluck a string I can see something move inside your shoes" (he must have been really high, now that I think about it). I was embarrassed at the time to admit that I just had to tap out a beat so I just said they were new shoes and made my toes hurt.

  2. We call that sun tricked here. Bright and sunny and inviting, and so cold once you go outside. Where I live it's pretty much sunny all the time including in the winter.

    I talk to myself. All the time. It's a source of never ending amusement to my students.

  3. I'm very OCD about checking the stove knobs before leaving the house - repeatedly. And in stores, if I see a can of soup, a box of cereal, or something like that turned upside down I have to fix it. Drives my husband batty. LOL
