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