Whirling Around

PinSave

Mondays are always my busiest day of the week, but this one really took the cake for being especially manic.

Target was closed on Easter Sunday as I mentioned, and many of you noticed that this year, too, and that it seemed to be a new thing.  Who knows.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to make a Target run today but I stopped by Rite-Aid and grabbed a few items when I was out today.  Intended to buy one, but they were on sale for $1.99 each.  I love sales.

Suave naturals soap: cucumber melon, coconut, and sweet pea

I have used the Suave bodywashes for years and like them just as well as Bath & Body Works or Victoria’s Secret bodywash, and you can’t beat the price on the Suave.

And Carmex.  I love thee.  I have it in every room and purse, bag, car, and desk drawer.

These razor blades are a must have.  Wish these buggers would go on sale, though!

I also managed to make a colossal mess of my kitchen.

Messy kitchen counters

I was in it all afternoon cooking.  And then photographing everything I made.  Recipes coming soon coming when I have time to get them posted.  Whenever that will be.

And I was really glad to dive into this bowl of strawberries.

They were on sale for 88 cents for 2 pounds of berries at Ralph’s today!  Practically free!

I really wanted to put my feet up, chill out, and eat a Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Cupcakes with White Chocolate Icing

…But it didn’t happen because I am working.  My paid job.  Everything else around the house is unpaid but still work! Oh well, duty calls.

Glad you liked my product reviews of the water bottle and lotion from my last post and what I plan to Bring With on our trip. 

Questions:

1. How was your Monday?  Did you happen to have the day off since it was the day after Easter?  Any trouble getting back into the routine of school or work after a holiday weekend?

Whether or not I was going to have any trouble getting back into the swing of things was a moot point.  Duty called and I had to rise to the occasion.   As I always say, I’d rather be busy and whirling around than the alternatives.

2. What’s your busiest day of the week?

Mine is, without a doubt, Mondays!  My email explodes, my personal life seems crazy with errands, chores, phone calls, etc. and work is busy, too!

Enjoy your Tuesday.  And the rest of your week.  Hopefully mine is calmer than today was!

  1. I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written

  2. Monday was great! And I did have it off but my hubby did not. Noah had hockey…twice, but I did manage to take the kids out for lunch and to see Hop.

    I really like Suave products, too. The coconut and melon one are personal faves of mine! :)

  3. I use the men’s Mach 3 razors, and I pretty much have to take out a loan every time I need to buy more! :)

  4. My busiest day of the week is usually whichever day I have class on (because I work and then have to rush home and eat supper before class). Other than that, I am not too busy.

  5. Really enjoyed having a peek into your busy & messy kitchen. Reminds me of when we are getting ready for a party and we are both in the preparing dishes, chopping, unbaking / baking, cooking and then trying to get most of it cleaned up before the guests arrive ;)

    I was off my paid job on Monday, but was back out at the paintball field to do some work there for the morning. Clean up, straighten up, store equipment, refill air tanks, sort paperwork…
    Family dinner on Monday night to celebrate the birthdays of two aunts. Fun family get together was a great way to end the day.

    Now that the paintball season is upon us, Fridays and Mondays are my busiest days of the week. Friday I work at my paid job, then get paperwork & food ready for the weekend. Monday I work my paid job, then get the paperwork and computer entry done from the weekend at the paintball field.

  6. Interesting on the body wash, I’ve used that brand before. So true on razor blades, prices are crazy.

    Oh, you’re good at messing up your kitchen too? :-)

    Cute strawberry pic, like the photography table. :-)

    1. Okay, busy – but time flew.
    2. Depends on what’s going on at work, it varies.

  7. Thursdays! Between kickball games and baking and serving dinner rolls to homeless, it gets craaazy!
