Good Morning! Happy Thursday! It’s time again for Thursday 13. Just a list of 13 things. It’s my new go-to post for all Thursdays and again, a big thank you to Liz over at Laws of Gravity.
First, Happy August and Happy National Coffee Month!
I don’t know who wrote this meme but they obviously don’t have kids or pets because trust me, there are a lot of other odors that come to mind before burning wood.
Okay, I’m done with the odor rant, on to my Thursday 13 list.
1 – Since it is National Coffee Month I’ll share my favorite coffee with you (outside of my home brew.)
I love iced or hot mochas with raspberry flavoring and NO whip but I never get it from this place…
Their coffee isn’t worth their prices. You can get better coffee and better service at other places for half the price. I go to Dutch Brothers. They have great coffee, great people and it’s always upbeat.
What’s your favorite coffee (outside of your home brew) and where do you go to get it?
2 – Today is also…
Where would we be without our besties??
3 – And another National Day…
I’ve never had raspberry cream pie. I like raspberries but that looks like custard and I don’t like custard anything.
4 – And my last National Day…
Let’s give it up for The Who! I would’ve loved to have seen them in concert.
5 – National Coffee Month really is magickal.
6 – I actually do this every month.
7 –HappyLughnasadh! This really is a special day. I’ll be making bread today and lighting candles and just being thankful.
8 – Did you know?
9 – While I was in the kitchen washing up some dishes my Alexa was playing the 70s disco station but when I said, “Alexa, stop” she didn’t stop. I repeated it 3 more times, “Alexa, stop!” But she just kept playing and playing and playing, and when I realized I was a grown-ass woman standing in my kitchen yelling at an inanimate object I just said, fuck this and pulled the plug on my little pal Alexa. And then I laughed so hard at myself for yelling at, literally, no one.
Ironically, the song that wouldn’t stop playing was “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now” by McFadden & Whitehead. I have so many sweet memories of rollerskating to this song with my high school boyfriend. It’s crazy how fast time goes by.
What’s a song that brings up sweet memories for you?
10 – I joined a Use Up Your Yarn Stash n’ Scraps Challenge and the only “rule” is that you can’t buy any more yarn until you’ve used up your stash n’ scraps. This was part of my process…
11 – Random fact. Did you know if you put your phone on airplane mode you can play the games on your phone ad free? But… While your phone is in airplane mode any calls you get will go straight to voicemail.
12 – Do you have any August birthdays coming up? We have ZERO birthdays in August in my family. I’m pretty sure October has the most birthdays.
13 – This is my favorite and it really is the coolest.
This morning I pulled 2 tarot cards. One for this day and one for this month and wow, talk about a double whammy of all good things.
The Ten of Cups and the Ten of Pentacles. –
(The condensed version.)
Both cards represent family, happiness, abundance, and financial security. It’s one of the best combo card pulls. This is a time when we see the fruits of our labor. Emotional and financial security is ready and waiting for us to celebrate with our families. Life is good and will continue to be good.
The thing that ties this all together with a nice little bow is that I pulled these cards on Lughnasadh! The beginning of harvest season. How cool is that? In this month of August, we all have the opportunity to receive an abundance of happiness and stability, both emotional and financial.
Truly, my cup runneth over.
I hope that all of you are reaping a harvest of all things good and true. This is most definitely the month to open your arms wide and accept the goodness that is yours!
Do any of you work with tarot cards or other oracle cards?
Or have you ever had your cards read?
Today’s deck is The Witches Tarot by Ellen Cannon Reed. I’ve had this deck forrreevvver. It’s my go-to deck and my total vibe. Definitely my favorite.
MIMI’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY –
Always look for the magic…
