Wonderful, Miraculous, Marvelous, Amazing, Astounding.

Hi there. I use the word awesome too much. I realized this today when I used it twice in different responses to one Facebook post. As a result of this seeming limitation in my vocabulary I pulled out my handy thesaurus. Now I think that I am need of a newer thesaurus. The one I pulled out does not contain the word awesome. Instead I looked up the word wonderful, which, according to my circa 1985 Roget's Thesaurus, is related to or synonymous with the words in the title of this post. I love the fact that language constantly evolves, even though it occasionally makes me feel old.

I seem to be running behind again in my blogging but I hope to be caught up by next week.

Three frugal things I've done recently:
1.  Immediately replaced the sun tea jar that I cracked while putting a free bottle of grapefruit prosecco in the fridge. I could have been even more frugal and searched thrift stores for one instead of buying new at Target, but that would take time and this is prime sun tea season. The GH and I go through a gallon every day or two and by brewing it at home it not only tastes better than anything pre-made, it only costs us pennies a glass.

2. Went for my annual mole check with my Dermatologist. When billed I will pay with my HSA card. This may not seem very frugal but, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Having had a precancerous mole removed at the age of 20 I would much rather catch any potential problems early, when treatment is generally minimally invasive.

3.  I brought the cherries that weren't being eaten at home to work, where they were all devoured.

And now on to my outfits from the middle two weeks of July.

Fun With Family Weekly Wrap Up

Feeling sad, overheated and sick all in one weekend was not how I imagined last weekend going. But such is life.  On the bright side of things I got to spend quality time with my lovely nieces and I received more outfit flowers from Bushra. The GH and I took the girls to Casa Video on Saturday, linking because they are a Tucson institution and I love them, and each one got to pick out a movie. There were a lot of comments along the lines of "You haven't seen this either!?"  I told them that is what happens when you don't have kids.  We ended up renting Inside Out and Zootopia, both of which were great.  Maybe we should try to watch more kids movies.  At any rate the sick part waited for Monday and Tuesday to hit me so that is why this post was delayed. On with the fashion.
