Bad coffee

Of course the days off are going by too fast :) DH jokes "now that you are retired". I'm like it's 5 days! LOL

It rained most of yesterday. This morning is a mix of dark clouds, white clouds and blue sky and some sun. It appears to be a crapshoot of what weather we will get today. I will need to get my hanging baskets and the pots that are just sitting under the eaves overhang and didn't get the rain yesterday, some water today. When we got them - they were very wet, so no need to water them the past couple of days.

DH and I played some pool around lunchtime. We hadn't played since dd and sil were here. Mostly I think because dh has been feeling extra tired. Later I took a nap. I don't know what he was doing, something out in the shop, while I was napping. 

I decided to buy some of the sugar free Torani white chocolate sauce, that I have been loving in my coffee the past couple of month. Nope. It tastes terrible. Doesn't even have the same taste as the regular. And since it's only 30 calories difference and I only have one cup a day, I ordered the regular kind yesterday and will be happy when it gets here. I feel bad that I will now have this big 64oz jug of the sugar free to not use. I will try doing half and half of the sauces and see if that tastes ok and then maybe that will use up the sugar free version.

I got the 2 t-shirts I ordered and do like them pretty well. They are soft and not too tight. I just wish they had more colors. They have lots of colors in their men's, but very limited in what they offer in the women's tees. I will order a couple of the other colors, though. They are having a weekend sale and I found a coupon code for 20% off. I might also order a long sleeve tee. All the choices the site has for their women's tees says "winter colors" - would be nice if they had some summer colors, LOL.

The air purifier I got for dh's den is working well. He said he forgot to turn it on the day we were outside planting flowers. Later he was sitting at his desk and the cat came in his den, did his normal jump up on the desk so dh can pet him, fur flying in the air. Dh said he got it turned back on and within a couple hours the room was clear of cat hair again. It does require replaceable filters, so I'll need to get some more of those ordered. DD said her filters last like 3-4 months.

Amos - thinking he was hiding from me ;)

Enjoy your Sunday!

  1. Did I miss something? You've retired?It was he being funny for having multiple days off? I find I'd rather enjoy full flavor and limit quantities than use an inferior product for things like coffee, alcohol, desserts etc. I think your normal coffee definitely is in moderation so enjoy!

    1. No, not even close to retiring LOL. He just teases when I have several days off in a row that I'm retired

  2. I liked those t shirts you ordered, but I noticed they were a cotton/poly blend, so didn’t order them. Let me know what they are like once washed!

    1. When I first ordered these I saw the 60/40 blend and then I looked at what my favorite tee's I've been getting from Kohls are and didn't realize they are also 60/40. They are just a nice soft cotton feel, I never realized they had poly in them. I have found I like the feel and fit of these much better than the 100% cotton ones I recently tried from Hanes.

  3. I like 60/40 poly blend. It took me ages to get used to my 100% cotton gowns. Now, when I wear one of the old gowns, I am shocked at how nice they feel. I do have some 100% cotton teeshirts that are so thin, soft, and clingy that i feel like I am wearing lingerie. Since I don't wear a bra, it seems they are not decent. I just wear those under cardigan or alone in the house.

    Does this air purifier have a filter so you can see all the hair it collects?
    What is the little red thing on the column above Amos?

    1. Yes, it has like 2 filters. One is a "pre" filter that you can wash and then there is another one that you replace every so often, but I don't think dh has opened it yet to look. The red thing is a hummingbird feeder :)

  4. Yellow Shoes

    I find the choice of colours in men's tee shirts is so much nicer than the women's.
    I like dusty pinks, greens and blues - dh can get them easily whereas I'm left with bright pink, cream or white.
