It's No Sweat!

Hey, hi, forgot to post the link yesterday!

I'm watching the campers across the lake enthusiastically playing what appears to be soccer. All I know is it requires a great deal of running and shouting in full sun with a heat index of 98 degrees.

I'm thankful I am sitting on my screened porch with the ceiling fan on, a cold Diet Dr Pepper in my Ruth Bader Ginsberg insulated cup, and that no one can make me play an outdoor sport (or any sport, really). Look how easily I knocked out FIVE thankfuls in one sentence! You can do it, too!

It's OFFICIALLY Summer!

Happy summer solstice! Now it really IS summer, as if the sticky, humid, 90+ degree days we've had lately were spring-like.

How do you like to keep cool? I've got ten thankfuls right here for that. In hot, hot, HOT weather, I can be thankful for:

cool baths in a jacuzzi tub

popsicles

Happy Hour drinks from Sonic

swimming pools

water theme parks

cold beverages

ice makers 

central air conditioning

wearing shorts to work

Lume deodorant

You can do it, too! Link up with us this weekend at the Ten Things of Thankful!

Hello, Summer!

When summer finally decided to show up, it came in with guns blazing! Temps in the 90s here with humidity so high you could cut it with a knife.

Hello, summer!

Here are some summertime thankfuls:

you don't need to take a jacket if you're going out at night (although you might need one for intense air conditioning)

you don't have to scrape frost off your car windows

flip flops

farmers markets

popsicles

Come On And Try It!

I don't know how the week can be over so quickly when the individual days seem to drag on and on.  Anyone else feel that?

The good news about the week flying by is that it's your chance to list your thankfuls once again. Here's my list:

I'm thankful for:

1. funny memes

2. friends who like to exchange funny memes with me

3. warm, sunshiny days

4. the smell of sunscreen

5. baby smiles

6. snacks

7. hugs

8. money found in a pocket

9. taking off your shoes at the end of a long day

10. a new tube of toothpaste

See how easy it is? Try it and see, and then link up with the Ten Things of Thankful below!

Hurry, Rabbit!

 I'm really not trying to be another Job, but lately, it feels like I'm giving him a run for his money.

Sorry for the late post, but, well, Job....

Oh, The Weather Inside Is Frightful

 Nothing says "holiday weekend" like a household disaster! It's how our family celebrates. Not by choice, mind you, but you would think so, as often as it happens. 

Most of our household disasters are water related. Sewer back ups. Broken pipes. Heavy rains finding their way inside. Risk of actual flooding from lake level rising. Dishwashers choosing to drain out the edges of the door rather than through the plumbing system.

This weekend's holiday disaster is multi-faceted, but it ends with a temporary window unit air conditioner installed (need I say incorrectly?) so the water (make that ICY COLD water) that it collects inside poured out of the unit and INTO the house and was found by my bare feet on the very squishy, very wet carpet (see above about temperature of the water and imagine that with bare feet). 

The fun never ends around here.

Here's a thankful: once the central air conditioning debacle is remediated, we can finally replace the ugly (and currently wet with potential for mold) carpet.

Look for those silver linings in everything you do.

 Anyone else glad to see this week in the rearview mirror besides me? Trust me, I feel it enough for ALL of us! 

But it's Friday, and even a rough week has thankfuls in it, right? Of COURSE it does!

Write your Ten Things of Thankful post and link it here. The link doesn't close until Sunday night, so get to thinking and get to thankfulling!
