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!
The weekends are always busiest for me… Since technology has come along, professors insist on making things due Saturday night… I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT! Haha
On the other hand, I absolutely love your blog! You’re so encouraging and uplifting. I love the “just go with it” attitude. You and Skylar’s smiles are contagious!
thank you for the compliments….and Sat nite homework is due??? that’s horrible!
Those strawberries were such a steal – I’m super jealous! They look really good too…
My busiest days are Wednesday and Thursday – I have four classes to get to on these days!
Those brownie cupcakes look SO good! I hope you have a relaxing Tuesday and get to enjoy one! :)
I had yesterday off so yay!! now back to the grind of things… I actually just bought my fave razor yesterday, Gillette Mach 3. it’s men’s but for me, it’s the best! :) and yes why are these things so pricey!!
I haven’t actually started my new job yet, so I had yesterday off and it was great! I cleaned the apartment, did laundry, ran errands, and then went to the library to get travel books. I’m trying out this “law of attraction” thing and whether it works or not, it makes me feel good! Then we had some friends over for homemade cookies and a movie.
good luck w/ your new job!
I love reading about your purchases!
The busiest day of my week is Sundays. Going to the first church service, volunteering during the second service. Then running errands, doing my food prep, and attempting to get family time in as well. I don’t work Mondays as a rule, so they are usually the most relaxing day.
so wonderful that you volunteer :)
Monday is my busy day in terms of standing committments, teaching and classes, but then I can have super busy Thursdays or other random days if I have a lot of meetings to schedule. I haven’t had time (or desire lately) to make a mess of my kitchen. Hoping to get in there again this week, but I have SO much to do before moving….
clearly between your dissert and your move, kitchen time is not on the radar. That’s how i was last year at this time getting ready to leave Phx and do my fitness comp!
I find Saturdays my busiest day, it’s like my life doesn’t register weekends are for relaxing!
my mondays are pretty much always low key, but it gets busier as the week progresses. and yes, it def. is a lot harder to get back into the grove after a nice long holiday or vacation.
I definitely agree, once you find good products that work (esp if they are reasonably priced) you stay loyal to them :) I can’t wait to see all the new recipes!
Monday and Friday are usually my busiest days. Friday’s because I’m trying to get things finished up for the weekend have enough time for date night :)
I don’t know if you belong to a wholesale club (Sam’s Club, Costco, etc) but I feel like you’d REALLY love it, if only for the deals on razor blades, nuts and other items like that. Last time I was there I got a 16 pack of razor blades for 16.97. Yes, insane!!
I took the day off, so I think today is going to be a little rough. Coming down the home stretch, and the next few weeks are gonna be a shitshow!!
I love Suave products — I can’t tell a difference and the price is so good.
Tuesdays and Fridays are my busiest days at work — everyone wants things done on Friday and many people here work at home on Mondays so I don’t see them until Tuesday which means they have work for me then! I don’t mind, it is kind of nice to know when to expect to be busy.
I did work yesterday. I remember being in private school (high school) and having the Thurs, Fri and Mon surrounding Easter off. It was awesome!
As a former Target employee, I can assure you that it’s not a new thing :) However, I believe WalMart and Kmart are open on Easter, so maybe that’s why it seems off that Target is closed.
10-4, got it.
In Texas, Target is closed every year for Easter. Definitely not a new thing here!
