Hot~~~Humid~~~Blahhhh~~~Books~~~Etc.

(Source)

Another hot/humid week...  Mon. high forecast is 91 degrees.  Followed by 95, 93, 90, and 91 degrees, the rest of the week.

There was "Jazz In The Park," on Sun. evening.  Free concerts, in the lovely Park.  But we didn't feel like going down...  When it's been a very hot/humid day...  -sigh-



One of those books, which I didn't read fully.  It's a skim, and get what I want, from it book. 

It's an in depth look at the history of the Renaissance Faire.  I've never been to one.  But when I was on "Live Journal" blogging, there was much talk of Faires and attending them, etc.

You can read more about this book ("Well Met"), at "Good Reads", by clicking here....... 


Our kitchen faucet was (finally) replaced, last week.  But the sprayer hose was installed in the wrong place...  Meaning, I can't pull the sprayer up far enough...  So we have to get the plumber back again this week.  ~~~~~~  It will only take about 5 minutes, and "Uncle A." could do it...  But I don't want him to.  We have had so much trouble, getting this ding-dang-faucet set fixed, that the plumbers should do ALLLLLLLL, on it.


I'm losing track of what books I have linked to...  Here.  I've been reading faster than reviewing books, on "Auntie's Reads 2013" and this has to stop.  I mean, I have to review, post, link to... right after I finish a book.  So I don't get mixed up.

Anyway, I loved "Buried In A Bog" (#41) and you can read my review, by clicking here....


I also loved "Bweitched, Bothered, and Biscotti"  by Bailey Cates!!!  My #42 book this year.  And the 2nd in this delightful series.  Loved it!!!!!!!!!

You can read my review, by clicking here....

Sad thing is, since finishing the above book, I've been hitting-a-wall, as to finding books-I-really-enjoy.  Oh I've gotten books out of the library.  But end up, losing interest in them.  -pout-  OH Bother!!!   But have a queue of "Cozy Mysteries" coming.  Hope they are really fun!!!


Well, I'll close this kind-of-blahhhhh post.  ,-)  No need of spreading my "blahhhh-ness," any farther, in Pretty Blog Land.  Hope your Monday is not starting out "blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"...  :-)

Auntie, I laughed when you said that about your plumbing. You have to know, there are "no" 5-10 minute jobs. Not if the worker is uninformed. Yikes, once Ted said he was going to check the brakes on his truck...omg..he checked the brakes, then it just led to other things to check, then I was on a blanket getting under the truck. There is no room for my boobies under a truck. I felt like I just dusted the bottom of his truck!! What ever we were looking for worked out, but it turned into 2 days. Call the plumber, keep hubby away form that faucet . :):) I love when I can laugh about things that have me tearing my hair out at the time. xoxo,Susie

my french and very expensive kitchen faucet worked well for about a month. the water comes out of the spray hose but not the faucet. i am used to it now and i keep forgetting to replace it! this weather is awful!

we have a Renaissance Fair here every year, about 8 miles from us, but we have never been. my son use to go to it and one year was in one of the events as a knight... i watch the TV snippets of it since i don't do traffic and very large crowds, but it is always popular.
i do so hate to have a plumber come but agree with you rather have them do it

When that sprayer is fixed you can use it to keep yourself cool in the kitchen.... ;)

We're heading into a humid week too - I can feel the stickiness coming through the open window and will have to shut down any minute now.

Hang in there! And what a beautiful rose in your header photo.

We've the same weather here for the next week. I am so grateful that I don't have to go down in those stinky, hot subway tunnels anymore.

We are getting that crap weather too, yuck, but it beats snow.

Hopefully, your faucet repair happens soon; I'm sorry that you've had problems. Your graphics/photos are lovely. I always enjoy coming here.
Hugs to you and wishing you a blessed week...
Love,
Jackie

Not to add anything to your "blah-ness", but actually my day is starting out that way, too. What is it??? I didn't intend to feel this way, but I simply can't get motivated to do a darn thing. I have zero energy today. I don't even feel like doing anything to my blog today.

I like your new blog look and the header and the rose is a beauty. I always love visiting here.

Hope you get your sprayer/plumbing fixed right and soon. Take care.

I quite enjoy a cozy mystery every now and again so will make a point of looking up the 2 you mentioned.

Vee said...

A mystery can be a lot of fun! With this hot weather, they're perfect.
