SHEs Organized

Happy August, can you believe 7 months are already over?

Currently I am on Whidbey Island off of Seattle, Washington. P has work here through next Friday. We have been here 2 nights so far, 7 to go. I am using this week for catch up and personal projects.

In the last 2 days I have hand tied 15 Anglican Rosaries and I have 26 more available to tie but I.am going to ask if I can get supplies ordered to the hotel and do more next week. We have 2 events they will be sold at, what is left I will put on Etsy.

I have some new books to read. I need to do my safe children training for church, I want to update and open my google classroom for my upcoming class. Write into letter and such. I am going to apply to sub and see if they will let me do my vector training from here. I need to plan things to do this weekend and next 2 weeks. They have a free bus which I will begin to explore the island. In our hotel there is an exercise studio and free laundry and a kitchen we have cooked in our room for 2 meals. I have been binge watching Criminal Minds Revolution and we are watching the latest Handmaid season. Next Saturday we take an overnight train to San Franscisco and spend 1 day and night there before flying inland to Ontario California to pick up car and drive to Big Bear Lake Resort for 5 days of hiking and outdoor activities. Then back to Ontario and fly home.

Getting dressed and heading downstairs for a hot chocolate to have with my cereal and toast. Then back to get some things done.

Doggedly I too love Fig Newtons so now need to add fig newton's to shopping list. We used to make a date bar when we were kids, also a favorite so now I need to ask my sister for that recipe.

Helian, I keep a white board by my scale, I weigh each morning and write it down, then at the end of 7 days I average those numbers. I compare weekly averages.

L.Ann your meals always sound so nice and varied and flavorful, is this from a meal kit or do you create these recipes?

Kk you are already planning Christmas Lunch in August? Wow that is amazing. I can't see past end of August.

Good morning/afternoon!

WTG on getting financial stuff done, and to have help with the parish lunch.
Responding backseat driving of your event with "Did I just hear you volunteer to do all of the work next time?" is a life skill that I have yet to develop.

L.Ann, with your busy life, I can imagine that meal kits can be a helpful supplement to your own cooking.

helia, maybe your body is telling you that austerity is for Wednesday and Thursday? No point in starving yourself on the weekend if your weight is just going to spike in time for the weigh in, LOL.

LOL, helia and CostumeLady, it seems that the fig cookie industry is in no danger with all of these supporters.

Hi, Peaches
