Friday's Warm Weather Favorites!

Though I've been told it's cold in many places across the country, it's not here...though I wish it was. The summers in Las Vegas are brutal, and the longer I can put it off, the better.

That said, some of you might be looking forward to the sunshine, so today's Friday's Favorites are all about Summer! Get them while the gettings good, and bring a little warmth in your home to chase away the chill.

Summer Submissions!

I'm not sure what the weather is where you are, but here in Vegas, it's really getting warmer. Half the time I don't need to wear a coat outside anymore. I'm not quite ready to bust out the summer clothes, but they will be making an appearance soon.



Submissions:

Every Friday, I put together an etsy mini of some of my favorite items made by other sellers, post it and call it my Friday's Favorites!

This week, I want to see your summer items! My first summer item of the season is this Lacy Tube Top in Mint Green!

If you have something in your shop that's great for summer, post the link in the comments, and check back tomorrow for the Friday's Favorites!

Sick... Ugh!

So yesterday, I left work halfway through because I was sick. I know I caught it from the stilt walker and the juggler (who are father and son, who were both working with me the other day). Usually if one person is sick, I don't often catch it, but working closely with two sick people, well, that did me in.

Thank god for thera-flu! After a quick stop at the drug store where I picked up medicine, throat drops and chicken soup, I lay on the couch with my doggies, drifting in and out of my drug induced slumber. Later on, the boyfriend heated me up some soup and spiked it with a bunch of cayenne pepper. After that, I knew I was already on the road to recovery.

I'm feeling much better today, but I probably won't do anything too strenuous as I'm at that point where it could easily turn around or plummet right back into relapse. Gibbs, Bess and my buddy Theraflu will be spending a lot of much needed sofa time together today.

Grocery Shopping...ugh!

I really am not a big fan of grocery shopping. I mean I don't mind going and picking out the food, but I hate to load it in the car, and bring it home and put it all away. If I were rich, I would probably get a grocery delivery service to do it for me, because I am just that lazy.

I usually wait until I'm out of almost everything, then I do a huge shopping day so that I won't have to go back anytime soon. I buy as much in bulk as I can and use my freezer space accordingly...the more chicken thighs I can buy, the longer I can put off going to buy more.

And I know people say, "Don't go shopping hungry!", however, I have found that if I go on a full stomach, I don't buy nearly enough and I'm forced to go back there sooner rather than later... then sometimes I treat myself to lunch on the way home so I'm not tempted to eat everything before it makes it into the fridge and cupboard.

It's getting to be that shopping time of the month, and I'm trying to plan dinner so I can put it off just one more day.

Sunday Funday -Bad Spelling = Good Deals

For this week's Sunday Funday Video of the Week, I tried not only to go for funny, but also informative. Remember how your teachers always wanted you to spell everything correctly? Well, not doing that, could save you a bit of money on ebay. Who knew?

Updates on Dogs and Things

Dog update:

The doggies are adjusting well to each other. They've even started to play, which amazes me since Bess has never really been the playing type, but I guess Gibbs brings it out in her.

Gibbs is still sneezing and coughing a bit, even with the antibiotics he's on. If it is still bad by the time we finish them, then I'm taking him to my regular vet to see if the other vet missed anything. My vet wasn't listed on the free-medical-for-15-days list.

On a happy note, his incision has healed from his neutering.


Show update:

One of the performers at the Venetian will be going out of town soon, so for the month of March, I'll be there an awful lot. Good for my pocket book, bad for my feet. 4 out of 5 podiatrists do not recommend cobblestone as an optimal walking environment. (ok I just made up that statistic, but it sounded good to me).

The one woman show is still going, although audience numbers have dropped significantly. Many of the brokers won't carry it because of the title. The producer is now weighing the cost he's spent with promoting it to the cost of changing the title. Though I like going in every week and getting paid for performing, it really is no fun to perform for 4 people... especially when there's a lot of audience interaction.
