My Monthly Check-in: August 2018

My second post for the #MonthlyCheckIn. There are twenty-five categories - I will write the first thing that comes to mind and in subsequent months, I promise to NOT look back to see what I wrote.

Of course, that means there may be duplicate entries - just warning you. LOL!

I hope more folks will give this a try - just post a comment here or in the original post with your blog name/URL and I will add you to the list in the side bar. C'mon in - the water's fine!

ENJOYING cooler afternoon temps and lower humidity so we can sit outside, at least until the bugs come out. We added a fourth hummingbird feeder and the activity is wonderful to watch.

MAKING red eyes from rubbing - still fighting allergies. The meds dry my eyes even more. Grrr....

COOKING, not so much. I may have to change this category...hubby does a lot of the cooking. Last night was burgers and skewered/marinated veggies. Yum!! I could eat that every night.

DRINKING my usual cup of coffee with a side of water. I am currently binging on Intelligent Blends 'Tall Dark & Handsome" made on the strong setting - once for 8oz, then same pod for another 4oz. Then I add 1 packet of sugar and 2 mini-moo creamers. Yummy!

READING Just finished Murder Most Thorny (Myrtle Grove Garden Club Mystery Book 2) by Loulou Harrington. It's been interesting but a bit odd. Not sure I would pay for another one. Not bad, just not exactly my cup of tea and really can't say why. Next up is...hmmm, still not sure!

WANTING to lose another ten pounds!!! It's really slow when you get to this point, but I need more belly loss and hope to find a little more waistline definition! Yes, I know exercise would help but...lol!

LOOKING forward to seeing the impact of our new window awnings on the west side facing bedrooms on our A/C bill (and comfort)!!! (photos coming soon)

PLAYING catch-up with all the things on my To Do list!

BUYING a side table for the office for hubby to put beside his desk. He misses the space he had with the HUGE metal desk (now slated for the pole barn/garage build). Looking to buy an end table and lamp for the RV (my side of the loveseat).

WISHING the pole barn/garage project was done!

FOLLOWING some of our favorite series like, Suits and Claws. The first episode of the new season of both was terrific! We are also looking forward to the return of Killjoys. We record most shows so often don't watch until we have a couple of episodes.

WAITING for the 127 Yard Sale to end, traffic is HORRIBLE!

LIKING the new (old) pearl necklace I got from a friend in a neighboring town.

WONDERING what's for dinner tonight...

LOVING that hubby's middle of the night trip to the ER turned out to be easily resolved and all his tests were negative. Double loving that he's off two BP meds and one diabetes med since losing weight.

CONSIDERING dropping the second week of our cruise. We booked two weeks back to back but beginning to think we might want to cancel the second week.

WATCHING the new series, Yellowstone. Oh my!!

HOPING for more motivation to get back into writing!

SMELLING the chocolate-peanut butter treat sitting beside me, half eaten. Yum!

WEARING a gray-fuschia-pink 3/4 sleeve shirt (seen below) and black capri leggings with flip-flops.

NEEDING to get up and move more!

HEARING the soft sounds of the #2Doods and hubby, all napping!

THINKING I need to reheat my coffee...still sipping on the first cup of the day.

NOTICING my office needs some tending...paperwork needs filing. Ugh!

KNOWING life is too short, take time to savor it!

Remember, comment here or on the original post (where you can copy the list of categories) with your name and blog URL if you want to be added to the monthly list. It's just one post a month. C'mon, you can do it...

C'ya next month!
