The husband is. He has been hinting he wanted the yard mowed for days but I played deaf. It is easier not to give my opinion because he usually just drops it. Not today. He saw the lawn mower and he told me I need to mow the yard. All this while I was watching The Blindside. Bad timing. But then he has never been good about it anyway. So I paused my movie, donned my shoes and started mowing the back yard. The front yard was pretty much covered in leaves since last Fall so there is nothing in there to mow. The back yard was what needed the attention. It is a pretty decent area but I got it done in minutes. Would you believe that? I even wondered why I did not do it earlier when I could have saved me the trouble of having to pause the movie I was watching. I don’t know why but the lawn mower seemed to be light and easier to push when last year I struggled mowing (the few times I did since the stepson did most of it). And I did it with ease and speed. What is wonderful is that I don’t have to do it until maybe two weeks later. And the husband is happy that he got his way. Well, I am happy too that the yard is clean because I know before long the snakes are going to be out and crawling in the yard if we don’t keep it tidy. Well, I have to go back to my movie. I could not resist telling you all about my mundane day

The girls on my network (on Facebook if you must know) are determined to lose weight. It seems like a number of them have treadmills so they do not have to go to the gym to work out. I personally think this is the best way too. I think a couple are going to the gym to tone their bodies. The rest of us are still on the planning stage (for months now) because we could not afford (and do not have space) for an exercise machine in our small rented houses. I have seen before and after pictures and the difference is amazing. It makes a person want to work out too to look good and to be healthy. The other day I bought a pair of size 1 pants and when I put it on it was baggy. When the husband saw me he asked if I was anticipating gaining weight to which I joked that I am beginning to wear baggy clothes so people will think I am getting skinny, lol. It is funny if it does not get frustrating sometimes. I am at a stage to where size 0 is a bit tight but size 1 is too big. I know I need to lose a little weight but let’s see if I can do it. Oh, things are easier said than done.

That is the number of books I bought today. All from the same genre: historical romance. And I got them for a dollar a piece! It is a lovely day today I bought the books from a Goodwill store. Normally, this particular store does not have that many books but somebody must have unloaded a lot of stuff because the book section was loaded with them. There were books of all kinds so I was able to choose. And most are new books too. Today must be my lucky day. I picked everything I wanted because I did not want to leave any books I like behind. We are talking about books that are about $7 a piece at the store here. To get it for a dollar is a good deal indeed. I am so happy I went today. Even if somebody tried to aggravate me by not moving an inch while I was looking at the titles. Some shoppers just do not want to share, I think. But it does not matter, I got what I want. This means I get to use the money on my Paypal account on something else other than books. Yay! for savings, lol.

I don’t know what is going on with our banks these days. They always send us junk mails about such and such offers. Every time I think I have a bank statement in the mail I get annoyed when I open it and see all kinds of life insurance offer. It might be a good way to promote insurance advertising but how many times do they have to send the same forms in a month? If there was no reply, isn’t it supposed to be understood that the person who received the offer was not interested? Why do it over and over again? They are just wasting paper and postage. I may have to talk to them about it if it does not stop. They can always send the offers to new clients, you know? They might be interested. I am not. First, because the husband is against it. Second, because we cannot afford it. Why not offer me a credit card with a high credit limit instead? Now that I am very interested to have, lol.

I have often post here that I love books and I get them any way I can. Well, I learned that the husband’s aunt loves books as well as I do and she actually collects them. She has a huge collection of romance and suspense books and I am like a kid in wonderland when I saw it for myself. I asked if I could borrow a few and she gave me a bag of books to sort and get what I want to read. I had a ball with that one. And then I saw her favorite books in shelves inside her house and my mouth water. Fortunately she agreed to loan me the books provided I return them to her when I am finished reading which I will. I only read books, I don’t collect them unless it is really something I spend a lot of money on. So now I have tons of books to read in the next couple of days. I already read four and I am halfway on my fifth. The book slut in me is satisfied for now. I don’t have to spend money on books I already bookmarked on my computer. Not yet anyway



Today will be another long day for me. I will be very busy. I don’t know if I will be up to it considering that I am already sleepy and all I want is to crawl back to bed and sleep the day away. I know I shouldn’t have woken up early but then I had to fix that breakfast. I made my boys happy but now I am feeling crappy. I have never been a morning person anyway. I like to stay in bed and stay toasty warm until I am ready to get up. But then maybe something good will come my way today. Got to go and get ready. I hope you all will have a good day.
