Week in Review: Week 130
This was a bit of a wind-down week…end of the month, end of summer, end of vacation. One more day off and then it’s back to it on Tuesday. I don’t feel ready but what are you gonna do?
The week started off with a minor miracle. I was meeting long-time online friends in the city and pulled into a spot at 5:50pm IN TIMES SQUARE right across the street from where we were meeting for dinner…and saw this sign. For those of you do not live in NYC, please understand – You Never Find Parking in Times Square. And here I pulled right up as if by magic. I sat in the car til 6 and presto – parking.
We ate at a crazy place called Ellen’s Stardust Diner where the wait-staff sings all night long. It was a fun atmosphere but very hard to have a conversation.
Tuesday I met my bestie at the beach and we had a lovely leisurely day of sun and surf. It so wore me out that I fell asleep in the afternoon back at home and was way late meeting friends later for dinner.
The next day we met again at a friend’s pool and had another relaxing afternoon just floating and chatting. I stopped at the bakery on the way.
I bought a watch for my birthday…but when it came it was GINORMOUS. I like a large, man’s size watch but this was ridiculous. It’s all packed up to be returned.
I was on puppy watch one evening.
Still watching.
Really? Is that my best??
We got together for pottery painting reveal night and s’mores making.
I forgot to take a picture of mine. I’ll slip it into another post this week somewhere.
The town library has a Little Free Library box.
I left off my copy of The Nest and took the Kathy Griffin biography. Not really my thing but pickins were slim. I may just hold onto it for a couple days, see if anything better pops up.
And this weekend I have just relaxed…did some tidying up…read a harsh book called My Absolute Darling. I’m not recommending it, it was a brutal read.
And now it is past my bedtime, so goodnight. Sorry for the boring week, but…second week of vacation.

How funny, because when you put it that way, I almost want to read that book. But considering, I hardly get my book club book read, it probably won’t happen!!

It’s one of those books that got great literary reviews…and I can totally see it being a movie…but it is really a rough story.

It was a fun night but a bit quieter would have been better!

Next time! Maybe I’ll get to *your* side of the pond one day!

Seriously, that sounds anything but boring! So much quality time spent with friends…and DOGS!!

Well, the WEEK wasn’t boring, but the post was, ha. Usually I have more pictures.

Looks like a great week! I agree that the watch is huge. Did it have Swiss Army knife built into it too? Lol!
Fashion Schlub
No, but it could have! Went out in this morning’s mail for return, boo. Haven’t found anything else I like. I haven’t had a watch in 18 years, I guess I can last a little while longer.

Did that confetti get in your food? I’m sure it was dinner theater so I guess it’s like talking during a show. I don’t know. We don’t have anything cool over here. I’m trying to catch up on your blog posts but also follow the hurricane stuff. So, as I write this I have that coverage in my ear. Ugh! So, did you do a birthday post?
Fashion Schlub
No confetti MY food but it got in SOMEONE’S food. Yeah, talking was very hard. Correction: HEARING was very hard. I have not great hearing to begin with…so this was impossible for me. I did a lot of nodding and smiling. I have NOT done the birthday post yet as it rained almost my entire 4-day weekend last week and then it was back to work and unearthly HIGH HUMIDITY. It’s September 15 and I JUST posted my August Month in Review post this morning, so Birthday Extravaganza may not happen til OCTOBER 🙂
