Make it Week(s) in Review

Since I wrote two weeks ago, it's been busy on one hand, quiet on the other.

The last two weeks I was totally into -
Our time off for our 25th Anniversary. We went to Lincoln City, and it was very lovely, even though the weather was cool and overcast. We slept in, read, walked on the beach and enjoyed each others company. We even saw live music! The following weekend was the release of Harry Potter's finally installment, and I worked the weekend. It was fun - there were a few kids in costume, and I wore my wizard's hat with the dragon. Aside from that, it was all cleaning, and the same-old, same-old thing.

Last week I was avoiding -
I avoided eating well, which wasn't really my plan, and now I'm avoiding exercise for the next three days too. My hope is by giving my ankles a rest, they will heal up and mellow out for next week, when I plan on getting back on track.

What else is on my mind -
Child killers and molesters. How they should be castrated, or fried. Animal abusers - how they should have to serve time in jail. The war in Iraq, the idiots in the White House, and other random things. I try to stay positive, but all the crime and hatred in the world makes me sad sometimes.

The week ahead -
This weekend is an R&R weekend. I have a few chores to do today - spraying weeds (done) 10 things per room (done except the rec room, which will be done after I finish blogging) and picking up the cut down shrubbery outside (also done after I finish my other blogging). I might wash the sheets. Then I have nothing to do this weekend but...nothing. I will not clean - except for the 10/room - which is more picking up than cleaning. I will not do laundry. I will not do anything but float in the hot tub, drink various combinations of juice and alcohol, float in the hot tub, play Wow, and finish Harry Potter. Next week, I will clean again.

Accomplishments -
I got paintings from Tony Yuly.

Weekly gift -
Anniversary present was a cute shirt that said "fabulous" on it, and my Newwave tarot cards.

Really, Really Hot

This week I was totally into...
Getting ready for our trip. I cleaned, I scrubbed, I planned. I didn't get too crazy. Our air conditioners, because it was so hot. I don't like it hot at night anymore. I am a wimp.

This week I was avoiding...
Thinking about Magic. It made me too sad. I was in a sad mood all week. Also, I seemed to be avoiding getting enough sleep - because I certainly didn't.

What else is on my mind...
Our trip to the ocean. Taking pictures. Packing. Being off work next week for a few days. Thunderstorms.

The week ahead....
Time off. Hope it will be good. Worrying about the dog being alone, even though he'll be checked on, played with, treated, petted and fussed over twice a day, every day we are gone.

Accomplished...
Transferred pictures onto my computer. Got the house clean. Managed to do everything I wanted to do, not be late for work, not piss TS off, and not go crazy.

Weekly Gift....
Cool hoodie that I wanted, and TS tracked them down in my size, and bought me two of them. Because he is who he is.

4th of July and More

This week I was totally into....
I played a lot of World of Warcraft last weekend. We attended TS's parents 50th anniversary dinner at Claim Jumper. It was very nice, a dinner with TS's whole immediate family, including the niece and nephew. He and his brother are splitting the cost of a family portrait with all of us for his parents. Which we should do soon. The 4th of July was good. We tranq'd the dog for the first time ever this year. He was much better. He was still freaked, but he wasn't trembling. He didn't have to be touching one or both of us at all times. Much better for him.
We sat out in the hot tub and watched the neighborhood fireworks from there - it was lovely.

This week I tried to avoid....
Spiders. Bugs. Mosquitoes. There have been several extra-large spiders running around the house this week, and a sighting on our deck of a humongous spider that had to be at least 4 inches in diameter, with legs. His body was as big as my thumb. TS wanted to kill him, but he was outside, so I vetoed the murder. I mean, a spider that big has been eating hundreds and hundreds of bugs. Then there are the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes are the size of flies this year. They are also huge. They don't whine like the little ones. Time to get out the citronella candles at night. Other bugs have been the faux bees who are building mounds in the dirt and gravel of the driveway. Interesting, but kind of weird.

What else is on my mind....
The joy of air conditioning in the bedroom now that it's hot at night. Eating more naturally. Getting dog food. The television show Supernatural. I am hooked on it right now. Watching all our DVD's during the Summer Break. So far we are watching Young Riders, Quantum Leap, and Supernatural. We also have a ton of movies to watch. Narnia. Underworld. The new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Pirates of the Caribbean Part 2.

The week ahead....
Nothing too unusual going on this week. Keeping to my normal stuff. Also, I am working with the Witches Tarot. It's quite nice - a borderless deck, which I enjoy. It's going to be hot. No days off in the middle of next week.

Accomplishments....
Exercised every day. Used my tarot cards every day. Ate well. Got the laundry done and the house cleaned. Got some air-clearing done with TS about things I've asked him to do.

Weekly Gift...
The Sims 2 H&M stuff pack.

Quote of the week....
A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.
