Tall Tale Tuesday

I used to do Tall Tale Tuesday when I had a lot of weird and funny things going on at the Homestead. 

Not so much of that happens anymore, though I might be able to come up with one a month. I'll have to think about that... And pay attention in other places. 

Like the day job. Because someone taking the center of a donut is definitely a Tall Tale moment. 

Stay Tuned...

Weekend Wrap Up

Heading fast for Monday morning... Oy! 

The weekend has been pretty good. Little B was a riot and wore us out with his constant-ness and hunger. Ha! 

We got a lot done but are completely wore out now. I have showered and now we just need to figure out dinner. 

And that is all...

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday

Yay for Friday! 

(I hate that I feel like I'm wishing my life away waiting for the weekend!)

Here's the list:

1. Sleeping in a bit tomorrow. It's much needed. 

2. B's soccer game tomorrow.

3. Looking forward to keeping little B overnight. He very rarely gets exclusive Nana & Pappy time. He's a riot so this should be fun. 

4. The rain in the forecast. 

5. Gardening plans...providing it doesn't rain all weekend. 

6. Getting quite a bit of writing time in this week and hoping for some this weekend. 

7. Ordering dinner. 

That's about it. 

Behave! 

Stuff & Things...

Obviously I'm trying to do better with posting. But it's hard. I find I don't have a lot to say. I mean, I do have a lot to say, but this isn't the place for it. If that makes sense. Anyway. Here's a list of stuff & things...

1. Spam messages. I am so tired of them. I'm going to guess that out of all of the emails I get, only about 2% are actual good emails. The rest are spam. I hate them. On Sunday (for some reason) I must have deleted over 100 spam emails. 

2. In the same vein... junk mail. Well, a lot of mail whether it's junk or not. What a waste of resources. Please don't send me your catalog unless I ask for it. Political mail is the absolute worst. The day job is a place where I see a ton of wasteful mailings. One company sends their ginormous catalog to everyone who has ever purchased from them, even if they don't work there anymore. I'll get a mail bin full of these monster catalogs. I do my best to distribute them, but most of them get recycled. It's such a shame. 

3. To balance out the negative stuff... The glorious weather we've been having. My flowers and plants are all coming up nicely. 

4. That Man and I have a trip coming up. Just the two of us. I cannot wait. 

5. Grandboy time this weekend. 

6. We have two weddings to attend in May. I'm looking forward to both of them. We have another one in July. And I think that's it. 

That's about it. 

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up... On Monday

I was going to post yesterday. But I was too tired. Holy moly we worked our butts off this weekend! We still have a long way to go, but progress has been made. 

We left the day job early Friday, hit up the warehouse store, and then got to work on the driveway project when we got home. We still have about 11 feet to go, but it's getting there. We opted for an easy dinner, which was a solid plan. 

Saturday was many errands, which is funny because we weren't going to go anywhere, but then we started thinking about what we might need for Sunday and did we want to brave the crowds then, so we hit up the home improvement store. And then the farmer's market. And the recycle center for mulch. Thankfully we'd already planned our food for the weekend, so we didn't have to join the craziness at the grocery store. 

The front of the house is done, including transplanting ground cover to the new dirt and mulching. And scrubbing the porch. I'm going to need to do something with the cushions on the outdoor furniture next year. The fabric has eroded so horribly and cushion is showing. The rug will need replaced too. Which is all fine because we're going to have to repaint next year. 

And the carpenter bees!! Holy moly! There were dozens of them buzzing around! We've been fighting them for years and so far this is the worst we've seen them. We're not going to have any wood left if they don't back off! 

Sunday was more working. We got the big flower bed taken care of and moved some things around so we can see the flowers along the shed. It was a beautiful day. Well, both days were. We had good food with little clean up and then rested. 

The only downside was that I didn't get any writing done. 

That's all I have!

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday

Here's the list:

1. Short days.

2. Sleeping in.

3. Lists.

4. Getting stuff done. 

5. Warmer temps.

That is all...

Behave!
