Labor Day Weekend Recap
How do? It's the start of a new month again. I have to say, decorating for Fall early this year was absolutely the right thing to do. I want to say I put stuff up August 12th-ish and not only did it put me in a better mood but I usually decorate early September and then it feels like a deadline. Having all of this up was calming in the blazing heat and humidity and gave me something to look forward to. The Mr and I had our birthday celebration Saturday. I had him pick up my favorite cupcakes and it's the first year we didn't have an actual cake which felt weird and kind of sad. I grew up on grocery store cakes with overly sweet frosting and roses or balloons on the edges. Sadly since everything is off-site and shipped into stores now, they are as dry as the desert no matter where we try to get them. Even Mom and Pop bakeries have the same problem.

Wow, that signs of wealth one was really an eye opener in a lot of ways but I think the one that makes me just mad is the line someone shared about just being able to go to a doctor or seek medical care was a sign of wealth to them because they couldn't just do that.

This is going to make for a VERY long day with a long drive. The pounding headache I have lets me know...lol
Have a super, wonderful, joyful weekend!!
I've seen the thing about drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces before. No can do though - if I drank that much fluid I would never leave the bathroom. It would just be a constant stream in one end and out the other.
ReplyDeleteI grew up pretty privileged. I didn't know it at the time, but looking back I absolutely know it. That said, there were some tight times out of college and the two that resonated with me were "not knowing EXACTLY how much money you have at the moment" and "not having to do math in the grocery store". I used to shop with a calculator in my hand and for a lot of years I knew, to the penny, how much was in my checking account. Now neither of those things is true.
