PLANS FOR TODAY...SATURDAY?

Shanus — Sat, 23 Jun 2018 13:02:56 GMT

Another fairly hot/humid day. After the beagles get their doggie flu vaccine, we’re going to the art museum and having lunch at the cafe there.

The next stop is back home to drop off DH & then off in search of a dressy top or outfit for Mom’s 90th Birthday Dinner. I also need some shoes...have fallen into the habit of “comfie only” flats & sneakers. I’d like to find low wedge sandals or a dressier open toe bootie w/ low heel.

On my list is weekly quick looks inTJ Maxx, Marshall’s and Nord. Rack.

If lucky, I can be home by 4 for a nap before dinner.

After 2 days of rain and chilly weather here in Chicago, the sun is out and temps in the 70s. A nice LONG walk is on the top of my list of things to do.

I have a fun filled day planned. Laundry, giving the dogs a bath, picking apricots to can this week, and cleaning the house. If I find a few extra hours, doing some more ceiling painting.

I have to stay away from TJMaxx, and Homegoods this weekend (my regular stops it seems), because I spent too much on Mackenzie childs the last few days!

@CAcableGirl2 Sounds like a full day. Love Mackenzie Childs. I painted my dil’s bar stools in that style...turned legs in black/white & slats on back of stools went wild w/ checks/stripes/dots in all bright colors. Really livened up her new kitchen and not expensive to do: masking tape, paint & lots of patience. Now my granddaughters want the lamps in their rooms done, too. I created a monster.

We are getting our 3-1/2 yr old great nephew for an overnighter. He’s busy so it takes both of us. Our plans are to go to Barnes and Noble for a new book and a toy (s). Go out to eat and back home for nap and he’ll play on his iPad. Tomorrow we plan to go to the Aquarium to see the fishes and turtles. By then we are ready for him to go home even though we love him to pieces.

I might mention he’s not 100% potty trained!!

I need to go grocery shopping this morning, when I get home I will fill up the kiddie pool for my grandkids, grill some chicken breasts to go with our salad, and make home-made strawberry ice-cream. When the little ones are tired of being outside, we'lll come in and watch a movie..fun day :-)

@Shanus: thanks for starting a fun thread!

My Saturday: still in my PJ's because I have spent the morning talking on the phone to both DSs. One was on assignment for a month with the Army and the other is helping me with a big project.

Thoroughly cleaned the house yesterday and did laundry and grocery shopping on Thursday, so my Housely Duties are done. Doing a few local errands and gassing up the car after I get dressed in a few.. Hoping the rain holds off so I can get a walk in this afternoon.

@queendiva I figured this may be a nice, calm thread without host bashing, product complaints, etc. lol

Happy birthday to your mother! My mother turned 90 last year and we had a nice celebration for her.

Today it's rainy but not hot. I plan to work in my workshop on my Etsy sign orders....I need to get caught up!

Laundry day, decompress day. I've been going pretty strong this week with getting into a group to learn and do crochet and one for quilting. My mind is all a buzz with ideas and learning. I'm getting the cobwebs out.

So today, I'm doing laundry and decompressing.

I went grocery shopping early, before it gets too hot. Now I need to spend the afternoon doing some tidying up around the house. ( in Pittsburgh they say "redding up the house" does anywhere else use that term for tidying up?) Planning to stay home and stay in on this hot,humid day. We had dinner at Carabas yesterday and they have a deal - buy one of a certain listed meal and get a free lasagna with a coupon - so we have our lasagna for dinner tonight.

Mow lawn. Rest. Mow lawn. Rest. Rinse and repeat.

We've had 2 weeks of 90 deg + before the first day of summer, and lots of rain, lawn hasn't been mowed in a couple weeks. When it was dry enough, couldn't get the mower started, go figure!

Today it's in the 60s, but humid and high dew point, w/e that is! With my slight asthma, I mow 20-30 minutes then rest. My son will be over sometime with his garden tractor, but I like to do as much as I can, he's pretty busy.

Can't wait until he gets my tractor running!

Why don't they put auto-start buttons on mowers lol!

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Watching Forbidden Planet, then baseboard installer arrives about 1, after he's done (shouldn't take more than an hour or so he said), off to late lunch/early supper and maybe even a movie with DD.

Oh, and dropping off catalogs from door installer that I picked up on Friday. They are for the other four board members so we can review with intent to choose a few new selections for our community so when any resident replaces a door, they will have some improved options.

Have no plans, but an incident that was not planned started off my day. Wife has been pet sitting here in town, which tomorrow will be 2 weeks.

Get a call from her early this morning that she locked herself out of the house. Hmmm, and on a weekend to boot! No neighbors close, but fortunately she had a Tracfone in her vehicle which was parked outside(another stroke of luck).

Her Samsung Galaxy S8/car keys/clothes/purse, and the dog, were all locked in the house. I packed up Lily, our canine, and headed over to this home, which at least is in our north part of town. She told me it was a "deadbolt lock", and I did not know there was a deadbolt made that would automatically lock. All of our "double keyed", where you have to use a key on both sides of the lock. They only lock manually, with either locks like ours, or a knob you twist to lock and/or unlock it from the inside.

Had to call a locksmith, weekend prices of course. Ended up outside for almost 2 hours, and of course it was raining to boot. Finally got lock opened and it cost her 2 days worth of her pet sitting fee to pay the locksmith. Why anyone would want a "deadbolt exterior door" to automatically lock behind you certainly escapes me.

Give me the manual key or key and knob deadbolt lock like I've had for years. You cannot lock yourself out without tiurning something, and that would be virtually imposible.

Will be riding recumbent for 45-60 minutes later today, along with my other regular exercises I do on days I do not go ice skating. Other plans? Nope!

Quiet day here in WV. Hubby and I made a quick run to Dollar General and CVS, a 12 mile round trip from our house.

It's dark and dreary here. My phone says 65 but the window is open and it feels cooler than that. People walking by are wearing jackets and sweaters. No rain, that's good. Last weekend was a big weekend with Father's Day and socializing with friends. The work week was a killer so I'm taking it easy today. Doing things around the house, catching up on my tv programs. Hubby is working a 12 hr shift though a nursing agency today. So, I'm all alone today. I have jewelry that needs to be cleaned, I keep putting it off. Today is a good day to do that.

After doing errands, which took longer than planned, I cut up and chilled fruit to make sangria tomorrow at DS's house. Will also make chocolate mousse pie in a bit and plan to walk before dinner if the rain holds off.

The past week was a very busy and eventful one. Glad to have some time today. It's been weeks since I have really baked, cooked or prepared anything in the kitchen and the time to do so will continue to be very limited going forward.
