Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap

Guten Morgan this fine Monday.  I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week.  (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days.  I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight.  I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.)  Friday was exhausting y'all.  I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10.  Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias.  Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over.   So Friday morning I got to work picking of...

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
