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.
And Carmex. I love thee. I have it in every room and purse, bag, car, and desk drawer.
Cannot live with Carmex. It’s a Must Have Item. From my last post, I enjoyed hearing what your Must Have Items are when you’re traveling.
These razor blades are a must have. Wish these buggers would go on sale, though!
It’s an epic ripoff to stay smooth. They are the best razor blades I have found to date, though. I will skimp on some things, but not on razor blades. Hacked up legs is not worth trying to save a few bucks!
I also managed to make a colossal mess of my kitchen.
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.
I was just happy to get the dishes done after all the cooking!
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!
I am totally with you on the body wash. Dial and Suave have been my brands of choice for years. If people buy me those Bath and Body Work gift packs I won’t complain though ; )
And yeah, I’d say if we’re going to be putting sharp objects ON our body, we should go for quality.
Happy Tuesday Averie!
That’s my kind of mess. I (usually) clean while I cook, so I don’t have a mess to clean up later. Depends on what I’m making. I managed to hit Target yesterday because The Girl stayed home sick from school, so I took the day off. Snagged some excellent, discount Easter candy. Should last me until tomorrow…
Easter Monday is a holiday in my part of the world, and so is Good Friday. That also means that everything is closed on Friday, Sunday, and Monday! Can you imagine the crazy crowds at all the stores on Saturday? They make it look like it’s the end of the world, seriously.
My busiest day is usually Saturday, with trips to tgrocery stores, mall, drug store, doing laundry and other housework, and an occasional date night with my favorite girls. Because of my full time job (which is more a 7-5 than 9-5) I only have Saturday to do most of my chores. Plus, all stores are closed on Sundays, so I need to plan ahead for the week a bit earlier.
We spent Monday flying back to PA– so NOW I feel like today should be Monday, which I know is going to screw me up all day long, haha.
Have a great Tuesday, girl! Glad y’all had a good Easter!
I use the same razor/blades! It’s the best one I’ve found!!!
My busiest day usually depends on the week… I’m a full-time student, but my schedule it pretty evenly spaced out over the week, so it depends on which classes have the most going on and whatnot. It’s definitely crazy right now though with the end of the semester!
No wonder Target was INSANE yesterday morning at 9:30!
My busiest days are typically Thursday. I work all day at the office, and train clients beforehand and afterward until pretty late.
My busiest day of the week fluxuates – it can be Monday one week or Wednesday the next. It just depends on what Ihave going on!
Suave Tropical Coconut is the best! I’ve been using it for years as well

Okay. How come you never show up at my door with a dozen of those chocolate peanut butter cup cupcakes?!?!
My busiest day of the week is usually Thursday or Friday (our weekends) because I save up all the errands that I need to run that are off our compound and ask Cody or my dad to drive me to the stores. Since I’m a woman, I can’t drive myself off of our compound, so I gotta get them to take me places. Luckily our compound is huge and has almost everything we need on it, so I don’t have to run errands that regularly. But this Thursday we’ll be going across the causeway to Bahrain to stock up at the all organic food store. But that doesn’t feel like a chore, it feels like heaven to see all that delicious organic food.
oh, i’m with you: while busy days can feel overwhelmingly hectic at times, i’d much rather have too much to do than too little.
sales are great! esp when you don’t know an item is on sale, and need it. and i totally buy multiples, too – i’ll pick of 3-4 of x if i know i’m going to use it.
i’d say friday is likely my busiest day of the week – full day of work and usually something fun/social in the eve.
hope you get more than 2.5 seconds to yourself today, averie! :)
I hate that razors never go on sale (ESP since I swear I’m the worst shaver ever!!!) but I did have coupons last week and instead of 8.99 paid 4.99 – do you ever use coupons?
Holy shizzle, Target was closed on Easter?! :shock: Not good. My uncle works at the company that makes ALL of the cans for Coke, Pepsi, Budweiser, etc., in the whole country and he said that they closed down for 3 days for Easter–first time ever closing down for that long. These are signs of how bad the economy actually is; companies are using holidays as excuses to save money so it’s subtle, but it concerns me deeply. Sigh.
Busy = good. :)
The clearness in your post is just spectacular and i could assume you are an expert on this subject
I never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others.
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.
Your Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Cupcakes with White Chocolate Icing looks to die for!!! Do you take orders?!?!? :D
you’re so sweet :)
Oh my gosh raizors and blades are so expensive!! I can’t stand it.
I hate when the kitchen is a mess from a day of cooking. It takes me forever to get it back to normal :) lol
Excited for ur new recipes!
