How Was Your Weekend?

As the weekend winds down, I must say that mine was a bit annoying. Friday evening I was going to work on Flea Market stuff and get things ready to go into the booth on Saturday. I wanted to go early and get that task over with. However, my inventory book--where I write everything down that goes in the booth came up missing. And it is still missing. I have looked everywhere in the den where I use it, in my bedroom, and in my car. No book. So today I started another book, so I could get this stuff listed and on to the flea market. I decided to go Sunday afternoon after helping the hubby out with something he needed a little help with. (More on that later!) The other thing I lost this weekend was a pair of earrings that came in the mail broken. It was an enamel pair of earrings in the shape of crawfish. Since it is crawfish season here, I thought I would put these in the flea market and see if they were a hit or not. I had just looked up the invoice and was going to request a refund but then when I went to take a photo of the broken earrings, I couldn't find them. I looked everywhere and no go. This evening I looked to my right and there they were on the side table by my chair. Duh! I swear they were not there last night!! Now today I told hubby I would help him get ready to take a piece of equipment to Jackson, LA that is still under warranty but not running right. He is going to have to pick this up with the forks on the tractor to load it in the back of his truck. But the boat he bought earlier this year is in the way and needed moving before he could back the truck up. He planned to hook the boat on to back of the tractor and pull it out. Nope, the trailer hub there is frozen up and not releasing the piece that should pop back in order for the ball on the tractor to hook on to pull it out. So he sprayed it down to lubricate it several times and that didn't help. He got a wrench out and whacked it a few times and that didn't work either. I told him to go inside and order a new one and we will go next week instead of tomorrow. He finally gave up and did that. Men are so stubborn. So it has been a whacky weekend here and it feels like I have been spinning wheels with not getting very much done. How was your weekend? Did you have a whacky one or a productive one or a FUN one?

I spent a good hour chilling in the garden to wind down. It was needed and of course the weeding needed another round of pulling. Have a garden, always have weeding!

I see that you also have my same problem. I search for things, the day after I find them where I had searched and I know for sure they were not there. It's creepy! My weekend was just average, bad weather, so we could not go for a nice walk.

I sure hope those things have been found! I'd love to visit your shop. My weekend was mixed...Thursday through Saturday I hurt all over and was so miserable, but today (Sunday) I have felt so much better. We went to a friend's church this morning and enjoyed it very much. Afterwards we fried some white perch which was yummy with fried corn bread and fried cubed potatoes. Too much frying? I'm just praying this feeling better will continue.

My weekend was a tadge more peaceful than yours and I managed to fit in a bike ride on the Saturday and Sunday, getting home before the rain.

And annoying/aggravating because you know it is there somewhere!

My weekend flew by. The race this week was delayed, so we wound up watching it late into the night.

I often feel this way. Especially when I've been on hod for a couple of hours and then get hung up on. " ...and it feels like I have been spinning wheels with not getting very much done."
