2018 Project 365 – Week Twenty


I don’t know what it is that I do every week, but here I am again working on my post days later than I intended. Ah well, it might be time to admit that I’m just a procrastinator.

Another day, another square…


Skink!


Monday, May 14th                            
I thought Monday’s salad was beautiful.


I finally finished a project that I’d been working on forever – just in time for hot weather. Hopefully the recipient doesn’t mind waiting until fall to wear this.


Tuesday, May 15th                                               
More interesting furniture from where I work.


Wednesday, May 16th   
Our impatiens heart is lovely.


Thursday, May 17th     
Invariably when Dr. M decides to sit on the deck these days, our neighbor decides it’s the perfect time to mow. Ha!


Friday, May 18th                             
I was checking out the hymns for Sunday & had to text a picture of this one to my aunt Mimi – she told me that when she was little she thought this was Lead On O Kinky Turtle, so I always think of her when we sing it.

Dr. M was the officiant at another wedding. It was a lovely ceremony & the cake was excellent (why yes, that is the yardstick I use to measure weddings).


Came home from the wedding & mowed. Last year on May 19th I had my initial appointment with my surgeon & found out just how messed up my hip was. I was using a walker, and would continue to use one until my surgery in August. But all that’s behind me now – mowing is a breeze! 



I’m not getting nearly enough sleep. I just won’t go to bed in a timely manner. I realize that this is a common refrain on here, but I’m mentioning it again because I can hardly hold my eyes open right now… zzzzzzzzzzzzzz……… Oh wait, are you still here? How much sleep do you think you need each night?

2017 Project 365 – Week Nineteen

Oh man – I just went down a rabbit hole that brought me to tears. I was looking to see if I’d ever posted anything about my mom’s ashes (I have not – something for you guys to look forward to) and found this post. Happy Fricking Mother’s Day. Sigh. I’m not really as bitter as that sounds – just sad today. Let’s think of happier things, shall we?
Sunday, May 7th
I went to a baby shower today. Look at the entirely too cute couple:


Her mother was in my wedding 26 years ago – and she was too! It’s kind of hard to tell in the picture, so I tried to make it crystal clear. Ha! She was born a little over a month after this picture was taken.


They had a cute “craft” for the guests – writing messages on diapers. This was my favorite one.


Monday, May 8th              
Mowing is usually (mostly) my job, but not gonna happen at the moment. I’m glad that Dr. M is still able to!


Tuesday, May 9th                               


Wednesday, May 10th                      
Dr. M ordered a tray for my walker. It has transformed my life! I can now get my own grits & eggs & take them to my office to eat.


The moon!  


Thursday, May 11th                      
Ms. Rita and Pinky Two Tone are getting ready to bust out all over…


We had book club in the evening. I’m grateful that they conference me in. After we were mostly done talking about books I started playing with the filters & then everyone joined the meeting on their phones so they could play too & it just sort of devolved from there.


Friday, May 12th        
New sneakers! I love them – they have a nice wide base so a slightly crippled person can maintain her balance a little better. Plus they have comic book exclamations on them – Zoom! Wow! And 25.2 which is EXTRA hilarious.


Saturday, May 13th           
We love the view from our back deck.


Dr. M got some impatiens – I love them. (Yes, I say that about all the flowers he gets me – so?)


This picture is an inside joke – my friend Kim and I used to have a little war going on and I decided to instigate it again: Up with Penguins! Down with Bears!



That was my week – how was yours?

Blink Blink Like a Skink

It's all Catalyst's fault. He sent this video to Dr. M the other week & we can't get it out of our heads. I'm warning you, if you want to remain earworm free, do NOT watch it!


Actually, do go ahead & watch it - it's hilarious. 

Anyway, we've been making up our own lyrics to it, and now skinks have entered the picture.


Blink Blink like a Skink!

We might get over it someday, but I don't think it will be soon!

2026 Project 365 – Week Thirty-seven

We had another social gathering at church today (celebrating one of our founding members, who turned 94 this week & who is a total fire...
