Weekly Recap


I spy........


An "S" sticker on my shirt.  That I wore all day on Wednesday.  Everywhere.  From lunch with a friend to errands.

Awesome.

Sir Chester had a tough go at his yearly check up.  He doesn't handle vaccinations well.  Neither does his mommy.........

I've resigned to the fact that this summer might be vacation-less.  Instead we will take lots of little weekend excursions and spend money on the house (laundry room redo!!!).  Not to mention a potential new car purchase.  My little 14 year old Red Rocket is on the fritz yet again.  And I'm tired of breaking down. 

So since Hawaii is outta the question, this last weekend resulted in another trip to the lake.  Tubing and boating were on the agenda.  Flying off tubes and bobbing in the water included......

I am terrible at time management.  At being motivated.  And at focusing on projects.  So I thought a visual might help me organize and prioritize my "to do" list this week.  Cute post-its that can be thrown away as a task is complete.  I just started yesterday.  I've thrown away two.....

The sixth annual garage sale is next weekend!  I tried very hard to price almost everything this week.....



*   *   *   *   *

I tried a new nail polish product a few days ago.  It was easy enough to apply.  I thought they looked fun.  But within 24 hours, they were flaking at the edges.  And then the picking and peeling began.  They didn't last two days........



*   *   *   *   *

And lastly, probably my favorite moment this week.  Monday night's Bachelorette gathering.  Instagram lit up with cloud photos as a storm rolled through.  Schlager had a brilliant idea.  Take a photo of all of us taking a photo of the storm........


I love these girls.  I love our Monday gatherings.  I love our silly banter.  Talking about nothing really, but laughing and having fun. 

Summer nights are my favorite.

  1. This garage sale shall be a bust for me... only three boxes filled and no motivation to look for more. I'm crossing my fingers for $20.

  2. I love the shirt! I'm also so glad you watch the Bachelorette. I really like Emily, she's not messing around. I'm pulling for Sean from Dallas. (None of my friends watch this quality television)

  4. that photo of everyone taking photos is amazing!! very cool.

    and I HATE those small stickers you never remember to take off b/c they're so tiny. At least it wasn't the long strip sizing sticker on your pant leg.... been there... HAD THAT!!

  13. Came across you blog through H54F. A tip with Sally Hansen Nail Effects, swipe nail polish remover over each nail before you put them on. Then the morning after you put them on, put a layer of top coat. You should be good for a week+ after that! Good luck!

  14. Maybe you should plan a little reward for yourself once the first batch of post-its are gone!

    That storm picture made me do a double take because I had seen it earlier today on your friend's blog... but something didn't work right and I could't comment on it. Enjoy your weekend!

  16. Hehehe at least the S sticker was small! I've walked around with the giant strip that goes on jeans down the back of my leg for a day. It makes me wonder about my friends...

  18. I always hate taking our dogs and kittehs in for shots, as well. :( I love how they always know when it's time to go too.

  19. LOL at you going everywhere with the sticker on your shirt! That is definitely something I would do! :O

  20. It's funny you mention Hawaii because i am/was trying to save for a trip there too but it's just not in the cards for within the next year for us. We have a trip back to my hometown and then to NC in the fall for a wedding and that doesn't leave us much room. We can still dream, right?! But there's also nothing wrong with small side-trips here and there. Exploring is always fun!
