What I'm Reading This Week #32
Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week? It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week. I'll take it though. We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed. What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms? It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms. I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall. Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word). It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off. I was working besid...

ReplyDeleteBig mistake...HUGE!
DeleteWhenever that first bar of The Star Wars theme kicks in I just can't help but feel like a little kid again.
ReplyDeleteHeck, I even teared up when we saw it on that John Williams special last week. Modern day Mozart!
DeletePlanes Trains and Automobiles when Neal is on the train and memories of Del come to mind with the Power to Believe song playing in the background. There has yet to be a time when I have not cried. The loneliness of the holidays in addition to the actual scenes really jumps out at me.
ReplyDeleteYou know to have a tissue handy while the dogs look at you going "what's her problem?"
DeleteOne of my favorite all time movies is Better Off Dead. Pretty much any scene from that one. My high school best friend and I could quote that movie almost verbatim. I love the newspaper boy "TWO DOLLARS" and the scene where Lane's buddy is telling him "go really fast and if something gets in your way, turn".
ReplyDeleteWhen the Mr and I were dating, he would always scream "TWO DOLLARS!" at me and I had no idea what he was talking about until much later! LOL
