Afternoon all.
Ceejay – It’s nice we now have ways to check the radar when we need to. Bf checks the weather all the time – I think he’s kind of obsessed with it, lol.
Shad – Wow, you’re buried! Training for 6 weeks straight!!! If ever there was a time to clone yourself, this might be it.
Happy – Oh, yes, there was a lot of laughing going on at the adult toy party, especially as the toys got more “sophisticated”. I frequently say that my smart phone is smarter than me, and I think some of those toys were also too, LOL.
Some of the names were very funny too…It was a fun time. Yes, the edging is done, but just on the one bed – the one I did. I overheard bf on the phone saying he was going to wait until everything was dead in the beds before dealing with them. Uh, yeah, like he’s going to be working out in the yard in November. NOT. I will have to be the nagging witch for this to get done, I just know it. Or I can try to tackle it myself…Re the weeds, yes I think they did much better this year because of all the rain we got. Weeds that typically don’t flourish well when the heat hits and spring rains are done just kept growing with all the cool/rainy weather we had early in the season.
Yes, there are now many great grocery options in our area. People are enthralled with the Mariano’s in AH (their prepared foods, deli, cheese, butcher, olive/salad/soup bars) and that place is like a nuthouse whenever we’re in there. There’s talk of another one opening a wee bit closer to us, on the Des Plaines/MP border, and that would be more convenient for us. Our old Dominick’s store is still vacant – sure wish a Trader Joe’s would go in there. No talk of it though. There
is talk of redeveloping that entire strip mall… I’ve just got a few new tops, surely not the equivalent of a new wardrobe. Three of the four work well with jeans/casual bottoms and are nice cool woven cotton. The 4th I bought on a whim and looks good with black or gray. Not quite as versatile, though it does have elbow length sleeves and will span a few seasons. So you & DH are both newbies to Macs? That should be interesting for you! And by interesting, I mean
challenging, LOL. Good luck. I’ve never used a Mac. And good luck to you with the roof work, and wishing you the best with the surgery tomorrow!!
Annie – Good news about the Moose Lodge. Hope it stays that way. Ouch re the burn!
Yeh, I bought a couple toys (but not the ones smarter than me!). Unfortunately, they were not in the stock the party lady had brought with her, so I’m waiting for them to arrive in the mail…in plain brown wrapping, of course, hahaha. And no batteries included - apparently the sender gets in trouble from the USPS if packages start buzzing enroute, LOL.
Michelle – It sounds like you had a really great time in southern CA with your family and friends. Any idea of when you think you’d want to make the move down there? I don’t have a large or close-knit family, but my SIL is relocating back to my area this fall, and hopefully my mother will be here in the near future as will. Looking forward to both of them being back.
Hellos to Susie, Terra, and Dee!

I had an offsite meeting this morning, so I skipped the jeans. Unfortunately the top I chose needed a cami underneath. It’s a hot & humid day, so it would have been nice to not have to wear an extra layer!
Nothing much else to report. I didn’t like the transitions eyeglass lenses that darken in the sun, so I didn’t get them on my new glasses. So the sun is an issue. Or I should say, it
was. I lucked out and found a sunglass clip almost exactly the same shape as my eyeglass frames at Walgreens last week. Only $15. Bf didn’t find one close enough to fit his frames, so he might get one he found on the internet. Especially made for his exact frame, so of course it's a lot more expensive. Bah.
No movie night tonight – our “leader” is out of town.
I
still haven’t bought my group fitness punchcard. I did get an email from the recplex. The fitness center part of the recplex (area with weight machines, cardio equipment) is closed for about 3 weeks for cleanup. The circuit class I like to take is held in the fitness center. The Tues/Thurs classes are cancelled and the Saturday class has been moved to another park district facility in the area. I’m thinking of waiting until the fall session begins before I buy a punchcard – September. I dunno. I think part of me is just being lazy and wants to enjoy my “summer break”, lol. The other part of me would prefer to use the time to do the outdoor yard projects I have in mind. But that doesn’t stop me from taking weeknight classes, so I suppose I should get off my butt & do something.
Oh, it finally occurred to me to have the lawn treatment service spray the graveled area on the south side of our house for weeds. Duh. Not sure why I didn't think of it before.
Anyway, they did a service yesterday and sprayed that area, which currently is filled with some very tall weeds. Wonder how long it'll take for them to die....
Okay, I’ll stop rambling now. Off to post. TTFN.
