2026 Project 365 – Week Thirty-three

I just reviewed this week’s pictures and they’re all ME ME ME. Sorry. I’ll try to do better next week!
Sunday, August 9th
But before we get to me, here are Dad & Sue, trying to start a revival at Sue’s church! I had a lovely time, but by the end I decided that my exposure to evangelicalism had hit critical mass. Ha! P.S. Sorry for the crazy lady (me) singing on the chorus. 


Monday, August 10th                 
I texted this to Dr. M. Something seemed to have gone awry with my “updo.” Made me laugh. But I had a good walk at the mall with my bestie, so that part was ok.
 

Tuesday, August 11th    
It looks JUST LIKE the picture, right? Ugly, but tasty. We usually get the one that has four peppers and add extra rice, but I couldn’t resist the terribly cute little box of one.
 
Wednesday, August 12th                   
We actually walked twice this week! Click on the photo to embiggen it so you can read this week’s sermon (“millennial” made me laugh).
 

Thursday, August 13th        
I was trying to get a photo of this really cool shirt my coworker gave me. It’s longer in the back than the front. It looks better in person. 
 

Friday, August 14th    
When they say sour they mean sour! I like all the flavors except for pink grapefruit & yet I still eat the pink grapefruit & then I look like this.
 

Saturday, August 15th      
I was influenced to get this weird lipstick stain where you put it on & then peel it off. I like the color pretty well – we’ll see if it’s actually long lasting or not. It reminds me of the lipstick I used to get years ago that went on blue or purple & then changed to pink or red. No peeling necessary!
 

It’s Sunday afternoon, I’m full of pizza (from my lunch with Dad & Sue), I’ve almost finished this post, and I’m midway through laundry. I think I might spend some quality time mulling over a crochet conundrum. I was planning to turn that failed octopus underbelly into a starfish, but ran out of yarn last night with two starfish arms to go. Dang it. I could probably find the yarn and buy it, but the whole purpose of this was to use up what I have in my stash. I wonder if there’s something creative I can do about this? We shall see. I’ll report back!
How was your week?

  1. I don't care how hard Google tries -- I'm not going to use my Google account to comment. If I could figure out how to avoid gmail and youtube, I'd do that, too!
    I'd forgotten about the 'lipstick' that we used as a 'starter cosmetic' back in the 50s. It was called Tangee; it was actually pretty neutral, and it would turn different colors on different girls. You still can find it at the Vermont Country Store, which is pretty amazing.

    That poor stuffed pepper! I read an article once about food photography that turned me into a bit of a cynic. One detail I remember is the use of hair spray on buns to give them that perfect shine in ads! I do hope that's the mall parking lot, and that you aren't doing your walking down there!

    1. I looked up the lipstick too & saw that Tangee was still around. I didn't get that brand, but I can't remember what I had. It was fun though.

  2. Beautiful song! Stuffed peppers are delicious, I used to cook them often, but now less and less, as the years go by, some dishes are harder to stomach.

    1. I can see where that might be the case - I have the same problem with foods that I LOVED as a child. Sometimes I still try to eat them & usually regret it. Ah well.

  4. That IS a pretty cool shirt --- the one your co-worker gave you. (Also your mall-walking shirt!)

    So, wait -- that lipstick goes on purple and then you peel it and what's left is red?!

    1. Yes! The longer you leave it on, the brighter the color is. It's kind of weird. TBD whether I really like it or not.

  5. Your Tee Shirt Activism is wonderful. That's the kind of religion I like.
