T Tuesday: a week in review

Last updated : April 10, 2016

T TuesdayHere it is Tuesday again and I’m linking up with my friend Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday. I’m pretty sure time is speeding up as we approach Labor Day and the start of school.

Little J and I made use of the time that her big brother was at camp last week. Being a teenage boy, he hates shopping. I’m not so fond of it myself but my girl…she can shop!! We went to Kohl’s 3 days last week. Yikes! The third was unscheduled…we stopped by my mom’s and she wanted to get something to wear for an upcoming wedding.

thank you cardLittle J and I also went to Goodwill twice, Costco, the Mall (not MOA), ACE hardware, Target and of course, the grocery store.  Geesh. We didn’t buy a lot but all those add up to a lot of time and moola. But now with the exception of shoes for the boy…I am DONE!! No more shopping for school.

We had a quiet weekend with a neighborhood bonfire Saturday. Late Sunday evening was a bit more exciting. We were watching a movie when the power went out. Everyone seemed to come out from their homes to see if the world swimwas ending or if it was just them without electricity.  Power was out for a huge area even though it was a gorgeous night without a cloud in the sky. We have yet to find out why.

In addition, we’ve been still Cuttlebug crazy. I’m going to get it all packed up and give it back this week. I want my family room back!!

Since the hot humid weather has finally found its way back to MN…we went for a dip in a friends pool. Ah, refreshing.

Today we have another busy Tuesday on tap. It’s going to be a scorcher too! Yuck.

What are you doing today?

Maybe you should stop by Bleubeard and Elizabeth’s for a spell.

    Look at your tomatoes!
    Heat and humidity is good for something I guess…didn’t miss it the last several days with windows open and lovely summer breezes…we are back to hot dog days of August too I think.
    Shopping wears me out…saw a piece on the MOA on the news and how they are thinking of doubling it! YIKES! Sounds like you covered lots of ground and got some things accomplished…
    Happy T day to you

    I got a big kick out of that mug, too. You are TOO funny. I hope you’ve gotten your “money’s worth” out of that cuttlebug. I know you had hours and hours and hours of use, so I’m sure you made lots of lovely die cuts and embossed pieces.

    Sounds like your week was even busier than mine. I mowed three days in a row, then went back and remowed what I mowed the first of the three days. What a pain this rain has been. But, the heat is back and I’m not liking it. One day over the weekend, it felt like autumn. Now it’s definitely back to summer.

    Have a fun T today while you crochet.

    LOL love the “mug shot”!
    Yes, just what did we do before we became so hooked to our power driven toys? I remember when it was just a TV and a radio to keep kids entertained while indoors, so we were outside as much as possible.
    Happy T-Day

    What a busy but productive week you’ve had. How nice it is to have girls days when the boys are gone, we do that too. I LOVE your cup in the picture, so cute!! Great tomatoes and sweet card! We are almost done shopping and the weather has gotten hot on us again after a week of fall temps. Enjoy it while you can.

    Sounds like you are very organized and I am sure you feel good to have all that shopping behind you. I don’t miss those days…but speaking from experience (my girl is 20) girls can always shop!

    Home grown tomatoes taste so totally different from store bought ones, they have a smell you can taste… if you know what I mean! LOL So glad that all that back to school craziness is now behind me… its not just the time, its the moola as well.

    Hot and humid up here in Fargo, too. Where did that mysterious early fall weather disappear to? LOL!

    Wow! You guys have really been hitting the stores and doing some serious shopping! Glad you are done with the back-to-school running…and that your electricity came back on! Stay cool! Happy T-day! :)
