#23 of #84 day of summer

My quilting circle :) I like calling it that, has now cut out 84 squares of t-shirts and we've started backing them with the sizing. We've worked 2 Tuesdays so far. This past Tuesday M stayed after and we crafted cards, scarves and such. Good times...

#29 of 84 Obsequious

Obsequious is defined as
Obedient or attentive to an excessive or servile degree.

It's a new word for me from recent readings.
I took Stella to get fixed Friday and it has been a negative experience. I don't like this at all. She's not herself, scared and puny. I don't like this at allllll........

The good news is it will keep me grounded at home for a week or two so I'll settle down and I do like that.

Goals for today
Finish Cleaning up email

Finish Grapes of Wrath
Clean the house moving down the plan

clean off the desk, calendars june, july, august

And then 5 guys showed up to continue working on our driveway that they started last October...
And then I had to taxi kids to weigh lifting

Day 12 of 84

Lovely day ahead!
I have no immediate plans. Got moving slowly because the boys are leaving at 10am so I sat down with facebook and pinterest till they started moving then helped get some food in their hands.
Then I put things back in place while I finished watching Lara Croft Cradle of Life. Not near as good as the first one. Watched the pilot episode of Warehouse 13 to see if I wanted to finish the series. Maybe.
Rearranged some things. Again.
Drinking Newman's Own Extra Bold Special Blend and it is ok, no caramel drizzle mind you but ok.
Eating PBJ on white because, well, the heels must be eaten.

Day 11 of 84

Worked a bit today and took a lunch break at El Dorado in Wilmington. Melissa went with Hubs and I and that was nice. Then we picked up Frisch's diet cokes with vanilla to tide us off till the end of the workday.
Watching Lara Croft Tomb Raider and hoping Harbor will watch the next one with me.
Didn't fly so we watched Burn Notice instead.

Day 9 Anniversary!

Anniversary!
Today is our 19th Wedding Anniversary.
We dropped the boys off at Kings Island then headed downtown.

Finally made it to High Street Design Store. I picked up a postcard advertising this store a few years ago and I've driven past it a few times without realizing how you can stop. Parking? Door? But today Hubs just got it done. Any store that greets us with hot tea upon entering makes Hubs suspect and I find it endearing that he walks around saying, "I think we can make that."

Pho Lang Thang- The best coffee I've ever had. Vietnamese drip iced with condensed milk. Also had the Bun- Heo (pork), Ca Phe Sua (hot spring rolls) and a Cha Gio is what the coffee is called. Hubs picked up some Taste of Belgium waffles to take home. I ended up with pieces of one salvaged from the car after the boys took them with them to work. He also picked a small key lime pie out for us and we ate that at the dining tables outside.... yes OUTSIDE. The man ate outside for me on our anniversary.

Dropped back by REI to take a looksie at the the story the boys are having my stand up paddleboard delivered to later this week. And picked up a pair of LIGood pants for the Hubs on clearance- YA BABY. Then by the Anthropologie sale closet! New skinnies, tea shirt- pun intended, and camisole for me.

Listening to...
The Editors
Green Light Morning

Wondering about the Bunbury Festival held here in Cincy.

Thinking we should try out Glen Helen.

Looking at the succulents I picked up at last week's farmers market in Loveland and the beach tag that adorns our front door.

Last night at The Book Loft they had a few shelves organized by the publishers such as Taschen.
I also loved the iced tea, pomegranate and hibiscus macaron and sangria infused cake aka The chocolate bombe from Pistacia Vera. We ate at Katzinger's Deli which was really good. A reuben and a cherry kugel which is like a pasta kinda thing. Then after browsing for books we stopped by a small cafe for some yummy desserts. Picked up a signed copy of Pollan, met David Sedaris- up close and personal, and had a rollicking good time :)

Last Sunday the boys came home and we went to see Fast and Furious 6. Not bad.

Last Friday we went to a reading by Kahed Housani and had dinner at Cafe Martin and had a small kurtster pizza and a smirnoff razz. Delicious. Cafe Martin is part of the Garfield Plaza.

Reading Behind the Kitchen Door. Good behind the scenes information to take into consideration as we all vote for better working conditions while choosing to eat sustainably.
