August 11th... Monday Musings on the Sunday Stealing...

 Credit to Sunday Stealing for this Meme today...








It was a pretty chill weekend for me, and I didn't take one photo to share.  I worked on getting the new blinds up and breaking down cardboard boxes for recycling tomorrow.  I have also bound up the old blinds and hope they get picked up tomorrow, as well.  Some people drive through neighborhoods in the early morning hours (before the trash trucks come through) to pick up items that they can use or recycle.  Most everything I put out on the curb is gone by the next morning.  Good for me and a score for someone else.

All of that said, I decided to join the Sunday Stealing Meme from yesterday...

  2. Good job on the blinds--a big accomplishment! We put 'free' things out and they are gone within an hour!

  5. I'm the same about lateness, Terri, and it bugs me when other people are late. It would be great to have pets again, but we have too much else going on to spend the kind of time a pet deserves. Have a blessed week!

  6. I've been too busy of late to keep up with my bloggy friends, so trying to catch up today. Enjoyed your answers. As for your nicknames, I've been calling you Terri D forever since there are at last 2 other Terri/Terrys in our family.

    1. There were two of us at the museum, so I was Terri D or TD there. Coworker friends still call me those names

  7. As you know, I'm the same way about tardiness. X-rays, too. I think I could eat my own body weight in broccoli ... fried okra, too. "U" for underwear made me laugh out loud!
