Monday Miscellany

Busy weekend calls for a little miscellany recap. Summertime seems to be the busiest time of year. I think all the daylight makes me more productive and motivated. Probably doesn't help that all the sunlight beaming in the house makes me notice every speck of dust that needs cleaned up. But for now I will ignore the dust and recap the weekend :)

Link on up with Carissa and join in the randoms.

~1~This weekend I tried about 5 different things on my hair and not one of them worked. I think its because I own a total of 2 bobby-pins. Looks like its time to take a trip to Target and stock up on a few hair essentials so I can really do this challenge. Here is the one thing I did do that worked.

I just added a little curl enhancing foam to my hair after it hair-dried a bit. Think I may need to do it for a few days in order for it to really get those sexy-been-on-the-beach-curls without actually going to the beach.

~2~ Hubs took his hand at my camera this weekend to shoot LB doing his favorite activity. Playing under our table.

Apparently I didn't feel the need to move out of the way of the shot and not lay on the chair myself.

~3~ Its been over 100* here the past few days with awful humidity. So of course I decided it was time to pressure can some tomato sauce. Seriously y'all I don't know what I was thinking besides that I was craving pasta in a bad way. If you have never pressure canned just think about boiling water and letting the steam fill your house for about an hour. Nothing like adding more humidity to the already humid air. Oh well, we now have 8 quarts of sauce ready to go. I made 10 but one didn't seal and the other one I used to make up homemade lasagna. I figured if the house was already a sauna why not turn on the oven. ;)

~4~ Lately for breakfast LB and I have been eating this.

Fresh raspberries, plain vanilla yogurt, and sweetened with just a bit of raw local honey. So good. 

~5~ I've picked up running again. Well let me rephrase that...I want to start running more. Now that LB wakes up at 6am almost everyday I decided after breakfast we would take a run to his favorite park, play on the swings there, and run home in time for his morning nap. Again, I don't know what has gotten into me that makes me want to do really hot things when it is blazingly hot and humid outside. But something about summertime motivates me to do things. Call me strange but I actually like running when it is hot out.
That's all I have for this Monday. Hope you all have a blessed week.
