THANKFUL THURSDAY – How hot is it???

When you were a kid did you go up to fans and make that aaahhh noise?
~~Please don’t let me be the only weirdo kid…~~

MY THANKFUL LIST –
(Always at the top of my list are God, Jesus Christ, my children and grandchildren, and my family and friends. Everyday, not just Thursdays.)

*** Since we hit triple digits this week I’d like to give a shout out to Willis Carrier, inventor of the air conditioner, and Schuyler Wheeler, inventor of the electric box fan.
I’m thankful for both.
NERD GIRL ALERT – You should read up on Schuyler Wheeler. He was a very cool guy.

*** I’m thankful I came back to blogging and I’m thankful for your kind words about missing me.

*** I’m thankful that I’m at 50% immunity now. Go me!
One more vaccine, another 2-week wait, and this will be me.

*** I’m thankful all of my kids and my oldest grandson chose to get vaccinated.

*** I’m thankful for the sunshine but not this heat!

And falling under the category of “blame it all on my roots…”
My twisted sense of humor found this last one to be hilarious.
~~Because it’s true…~~

Have you guys reached the triple digits yet?
Do you have AC and fans? A river, a beach, a pool?? Anything to stay cool?
I sure hope so!

June, July, and August should come with a warning label.
(Thank you, Alan Jackson. Also hotter than a hoochie coochie.)

Well, it’s after 2am here. Last night after dinner I got all cozy and started watching some Acorn TV – ‘The Brokenwood Mysteries,’ I like it a lot.
Unfortunately, I ended up falling asleep around 6:30pm. (No reflection of the show. The show is really good.) What wasn’t so good was being wide awake at midnight. I’ve tried all of those “how to go back to sleep” tips and none of them work for me so I just got up. It’s really not such a huge deal because I’m usually up by 3am every morning anyway.

My plans for the day are to stay cool. Seriously, that’s it.
What about you guys? Who’s got plans today?
Be sure to share in the comments!

Also, anybody else getting vaccinated? And it’s okay if you’re not. I’m just curious.
In my family and friends circle, it’s about a 50/50 split.

Okay, I’m out. Have an amazing Thursday. I hope you have much to be thankful for.
And hey, another blog post. Yay me!

THANKFUL THIRSTY THRUSTY THURSDAY!

It’s ‘Thankful Thursday’ and also ‘Thirsty Thursday.’
Coincidence? I think not.
PSSST: I have no idea why “thrusty” is in the title of this post.
QUESTION: Is it too early to be partaking in ‘Thirsty Thursday?’
~~Asking for a friend….~~

Today I am thankful for air conditioning.
And vodka!
Yesterday was my vodka slushie day! Watermelon! My fave!
What a refreshing way to beat the heat!
It may be a vodka slushie day today as well…
It may have already started…
Sooooo, what are yous guys thankful for today and every day or just today???
What’s your favorite drink on tap for “Thirsty Thursday?”

Is it hot where you are??? I’m not complaining. I’m so happy to see the sun and be out of that 5th season of,
“time to find fucking Noah…”

Again, the weekend is upon us.
Who’s got plans?
I will be downtown at the Pride parade giving out “free mom hugs“ to the kids whose parents disowned them, kicked them out, etc., after they told them they were gay/lesbian/trans.
~~Fucking assholes. So much for unconditional love.~~
Two of the beautiful souls that are my “pride” and joy.
My son (right) and his partner. Wonderful, kind, loving, intelligent humans loving each other, loving life and lucky me, they love me too!
MIMI’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY –
Time – 11:14am
Temp – HOT!
Mood – Lazy… Hot days just zap me sometimes.
Bitch, bitch, bitch – Zero but it’s early, it’s hot and I may be running low on vodka.
Best thing – Life
Be well.

5

Seriously.
Five months folks. That’s how many months are left in this year.
2018.
Who can believe this??!!
Well, here we are.
HAPPY AUGUST EVERYONE!
You could start surprising me by turning off this heat from hell!
Triple digits. Ugh.
Our “cooling trend” of 89 degrees arrives this weekend.
WOO HOO!

That being said, I am hoping, wishing, praying, ~~dancing naked maybe, maybe not~~ for an end to the wildfires, especially in California where people are not only losing their homes but also their lives.
1. Staying cool
2. Errands
3. Crocheting some gifts.
*** I’ve gone as far as I can go on 3 of my blankets because I ran out of certain colors of yarns and none of my go-to yarn stores, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, Joann’s nor the freak store Walmart had any of the colors I needed.
The search will continue this weekend…
~~Aaaanddd nobody cares about my yarn struggle.~~

I think I might be able to squeeze at least one hat out of this yarn.
I used this type of yarn, not the same colors, once and only once for a blanket I made “Miranda” last year.
Never again.
Super challenging to crochet with ~~again nobody cares about my yarn struggle~~ so I tend to stick to smaller projects now when using this type of yarn.
4. Cricuting.
***LOTS of projects to get printed and cut!
5. Christmas cross stitch.
6. Organize, organize, organize!!!
I really dig this guy.
What are all of you up to?
Anything thrilling and spine-chilling to report??
If you’ve got some cooler temps, rain or snow you could send some out this way!
MIMI’S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY –
See? I’m nice like that.
