Month: September 2025

MONDAYS, MUSIC AND ME


ANNNNNDDDDDD…


CAN YOU BELIEVE IT’S FINALLY HERE???? I’M SOOOO EXCITED!

It’s another late Monday post. Time just gets away from me!
I hope you’ve all had a great Monday, this fantastical first day of fall! How was everybody’s weekend?? Mine was wonderful and just what I needed. We had great weather and a couple of random very brief thunderstorms that I wish would’ve lasted all day!

I have pics from the weekend, but because I grabbed my old – the Android – and used it to take the pics, I can’t post them because they’re still downloading to my external hard drive. – ALL of them! I’m not even kidding. This is only 30,000+, there is another 10,000+ to go!

Mimi, why are you downloading all of those photos? I’m so happy you asked! Because I’m trading in my Android for credit towards my iPhone – which actually lowered my bill by the way – but I couldn’t trade it in with my whole life trapped inside! Holy hell! So, maybe sometime in 2027 I’ll be able to share the pics of my super fun weekend with you! In the meantime, just know it was a great weekend.

For Monday’s music, I just used today’s date and picked a random year and looked up what song was popular on this day back in 1971, and it just so happens it’s one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it too!

So, today, while the photos were downloading, I took out some super cute fabric and got a pattern all cut out and ready to sew for tomorrow, then, as soon as I’m done sewing that I’m going to finish up a crochet project. They’re both funny, but I can’t say much more about them because they’re gifts, but once she’s received them I’ll post pics because they won’t be trapped in my phone!

Okay. I’m calling it a night. I have an early day tomorrow. Don’t forget to share your party animal weekends with me in the comments! I hope you’re having a great start to the week ahead, and I hope the week just flows along perfectly.
Thank you for reading, I feel like I don’t say that enough, or at all, but I do appreciate you.

MIMI’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY –

THURSDAY 13 – Old dog, new tricks

  1. I’m starting to love my iPhone. It’s a learning curve, but you can teach an old dog new tricks.
  2. I didn’t know there was a movie made using an iPhone, but yes there was.

    This movie was made using the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Several of them! That’s wild.
    *** Per Wikipedia
    28 Years Later is a 2025 post-apocalyptic coming-of-age[6][7][8] horror film produced and directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland.

  3. I made homemade chicken noodle soup and it was delicious.
  4. I did some binge-watching and got caught up on NCIS, Law & Order SVU and Criminal Minds Evolution.
  5. I started watching Tony & Ziva. It’s a spinoff of the original NCIS show when Gibbs (Mark Harmon) was at the helm.
    I’m undecided as to whether I like it or not. I like the characters. It would be nice if it wasn’t cancelled before I know for sure.

  6. I’ve been crocheting autumn leaves for a cozy fall garland.

    Obviously not done, but I will post pics when it is.

  7. and 8.
    First #7, the super cool Wednesday Addams doll my kids surprised me with. I love that it came with a tiny “Thing.”
  8. I discovered this cool little feature that iPhone has. You can look up the plants in the photo. I don’t know if all iPhones do that, but it’s super cool.
  9. A scene from one of my favorite movies.

    Sleepless In Seattle – Meg Ryan is singing along with the Christmas song, Jingle Bells. Horses, horses, horses…

  10. A random pic I saved on Pinterest. Are any of you on Pinterest? I love retro art.

  11. My youngest turned 32 on the 13th of this month! Absolutely wild! Time is a thief.
  12. Fun fact via Wikipedia – September 18, 1837 in Brooklyn, Connecticut, U.S. New York City, U.S. Tiffany & Co. was founded in 1837 by the jeweler Charles Lewis Tiffany and became famous in the early 20th century under the artistic direction of his son Louis Comfort Tiffany.
    I have never received a little blue box from Tiffany’s, but it’s on my bucket list.

  13. And what better follow-up to #12 than this great tune.

Happy Thursday, everyone. We’re almost through the 3rd week in September, how crazy is that? I’m loving it, but it’s going by so fast! We’re getting fall temps off and on, but I wish the nighttime temps were our daytime temps. I’m sure a lot of people disagree with me on that, but lately people disagreeing with me seems to be the norm and that’s okay because I disagree with them. You know as you get older none of that bullshit matters and honestly, who has time for it? Not me. Love me or hate me, agree or disagree, I just don’t give a fuck anymore, and that’s pretty much where I’m at on this fine Thursday morning.

I’ll be cleaning out closets today. One of my least favorite things to do because it seems like you make a bigger mess trying to get everything in order, and it would be so much easier to just close the door and be done with it. It’s that way with a lot of things in life. Big messes, closing doors and being done.

This weekend, I’m being taken away to parts unknown. It’s a surprise. I hope it’s someplace very fallish.

I hope you’ve had a great week thus far. Anybody have any cool plans for the weekend? And just so you know, staying home and relaxing counts as cool plans. As always, I want to hear what’s happening with all of you, so please share in the comments.
