Happy Monday morning and I hope we all have a wonderful Memorial Day with our loved ones. It’s time for the early birds, and as usual, I’ll be adding more throughout the day as they go live. 🙂
THREE THINGS:
1.) Just put my HUGEEEEE Peace Lily outside (for a good soak and humidity session) but he better not get used to it! My breakfast nook corner looks so bare I can’t bare it! <— See what I did there? 😉
2.) I slept IN today!! Slept right until 8am, instead of my usual 6:30am. Ahhhhh I’m late today but it feels SO right. 😉
3.) I’ve started reading “Marriage For One” by Ella Maise, and so far so good. I really wish it was strictly from her POV (marrying a brooding, unsmiling perfect stranger in an arrangement and stressing with her… about him and all the unknowns, alllllll that delicious mystery… but we also get his POV. Luckily for me, it’s still holding my interest ’cause he is moooooody!

Just realized today was Monday! I had the worst night last night with J after a long day at the zoo (2.5 hours away) and getting pulled over after listening to him scream for 2 hours on the way home. And that was pretty much my entire night. Going to a cookout soon! Happy Memorial Day!
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon is on sale for 1.99 from 9.99
Yay for the cookout!! And I’m sorry for your rough night.
Sorry, Tasha! How sucky!
Our lives seem so similar at times. When I was 7 months pregnant with my 2nd son, I was on my way home from a wedding and son #1 was crying in the back seat. I was in a part of town I didn’t know and I was trying to find the interstate and I got pulled over for going 43 in 35. I was crying, my son was howling, I was hugely pregnant, and the cop still gave me a ticket, even after I told him I was lost and I didn’t see any speed limit signs. Then the court date ended up being on the date of my scheduled c-section–he didn’t care about that either. It was a terrible day.
Same. Still got the ticket. Jerks. Lol. I was so mad it was taking him forever too. And his daughter is in my daughter’s class. I babysat his kids for a short while a long time ago. I don’t think he remembered though, it was his wife we interacted with the most. I wasn’t driving, but still got the ticket. I think it was 60 something in a 55. He didn’t even realize he was going that fast. Just stressful when you’ve got all that going on in the vehicle and you just wanna get home. I’m not sure what J’s so fussy about though. That’s the worst. Is it teething? His stomach hurt? He wouldn’t eat a lot so was he hungry? Overly tired? It was so out of the ordinary. Even when he’s teethed bad before, it wasn’t the insanity of last night.
OMG, that sounds horrible! I hope J is feeling better soon. Talk about bad timing, and to get you for a ticket for only 5 mph over the speed limit? Was he too lenient this month and not hitting his quota?
Tessa–that’s what I was thinking. That’s ludicrous!
Good morning and Happy Memorial Day!
1 – Planted my herb garden this a.m. I normally do it in pots but am trying it in ground this year. Hopefully it works.
2 – My 2nd discounted KU membership expired yesterday but…I was able to do ANOTHER one today. Yippee! Two more months for 99 cents. Cha-ching!!
3 – Tomorrow me and my son will go see Endgame again but at the fancy theater with reclining seats. Can’t wait!! That movie is epic.
Planted in the ground is so much better! The prenials just keep coming back and you don’t have to plant them again. Though, don’t do mints in the ground. They take over like weeds. :/
Hmm… Maybe I should let my KU membership expire. I never qualify for that deal.
Tessa, funny as I did do mint in ground but I am ok if it takes over. I love mint and all the other herbs probably wont last. We have very short gardening season here AND I don’t have a green thumb. Oooh, I’ll have to have Amy teach me to make cocktails…mojitos anyone?? Great way to use up mint.
Lol You’ll need a LOT of recipes. I would just trim the mints, and then most of the actual use was from pulling all the extra plants invading my other herbs.
Omg! Thanks Leslie, I just checked KU and it let me get another 2 months as well!
Good morning! Happy Memorial Day!
Thank you to all of our past and present members of the military who’ve courageously served to defend our freedom and keep us safe. ❤️️💙
Does anyone ever find Memorial Day a bit odd?
It is a day to honor those who died while serving.
But it is also a 3 day weekend with sales, carnivals, and races.
I think every Holiday is like that.
1. I’m doing nothing today but sleeping and reading.
2. And that’s all I got! 😂
1. Last night nightmares again. *sighs* The ones where you wake up and are so petrified that you throw a blanket over your head and just do anything to get the dream gone.
2. I did get The Secret Girl. It looks interesting and I’m loving her other bully story so much.
3. So, after the nightmare… I want sleep. lol I tried sleeping in, but dude will have NONE of that!
1. Being so sleepy and lazy.
2. More than halfway through the second book of the weekend.
3. Because I love this one too baby.

1. Mini reading slump alert. I’m doing some rereads……
2. Winter is nearly here. Cold damp day today. I’m looking out my window at the late autumn leaves still hanging around – beautiful gold leaves on the wisteria, and gorgeous bright red leaves on the ornamental grapevine. So pretty.
3. That’s all I got. Had my flu vaccination yesterday and I’m gonna have a quiet day in today. *sips hot chocolate while waiting for kindle to recharge*
1) I read Everly Dalton’s Dating Disasters last night and loved it! ! It was great to read something that’s just fun and entertaining instead of super heavy for a change. The blind dates that Everly goes on are hilariously weird (and disastrous), and I’m really looking forward to reading Faking Ms. Right to see what happens with her.
2) My house is a WRECK. Now that I’m finally getting up and around again, I can really see the damage. 😬
3) I have to get a crown tomorrow–boo!
Ooh Nay. Good luck getting your house back in order. Don’t overdo it!
I have to get a crown soon too. 🙁 Hope yours goes well for you.
