happy Homemaker Monday 3-31-25

Can you Believe IT!! April is tomorrow already.... This past weekend seems like a blur! Quarter Horse Marathon Relay was a really Looong day. Since I had the shirt swag, I needed to be there extra early so that meant a 4:15am EARLY wake up. Lot's of fun though being with all my runner kids & gained a couple new ones as well! Anyway, let's get with the categories...and of course linking up with Sandra for this last Monday in March Happy Homemaker Monday.

*****

** The Weather **


** As I look outside my window **
Dreary, Cloudy & Rainy.. 47°

 ** Right now I am **
Eating a light lunch, waiting on the Mr to get home and Finally working on this post, [sigh]

** OOTD **
Leggings & Hoodie

** Thinking and pondering [how I'm feeling] **
I'm still a bit tired, some maybe from a long Saturday working the race, but probably from not sleeping well last night. We had a few storms that came through and thankfully not as bad as predicted still we had some high winds and lots of rain...
 
** What I'm reading **
I really need to tackle the Miracle Morning more...

** TV Shows this week **
Honestly, I have No idea...the Mr has been watching his sports and I'm just kinda/sorta been paying attention all while reading or piddling around with other stuff.

** Menu Plan **
Not sure yet...waiting on Mr to give me some ideas.
🍲🍲

** No unNecessary Spend Challenge Update **
March Challenge Goal--> 24/31 days, so far 28/31 = WIN!!

** Goal/To Do List **
Still a Long list of playing catch-up...and the list may stay that way with my walk/run training - and I'm ok with that.

** Around The House **
Basic's will be done daily, then I'll try and get something extra everyday
 
** Project this Week **
Laundry,
Planning on a hour a day Working upstairs, in my office, and outside flower beds. 

** Today's Motivation **

** Something fun to share **
So... remember I posted before how I was the Pacer/Pit Crew Mom for the kids Pistol Ultra? Well guess what?? One of the Race Director's contacted me regarding becoming an Ambassador for them!! How Cool is that! I'm really ''stoked'' about it. And for my 50 State thing I'll be able to 🗹 off Tennessee as one of my states...I'm excited, but also know I need to get this 'ol Butt in gear with A BUNCH of stuff.

** Looking forward to this week **
I'm actually looking forward to getting my plan ready for 50 States,
I renew my DL this week and considering getting the 'Real ID' this time [ya never know where a Half will pop-up at],
Starting with April there needs to be a much more organized plan on my part, but I'm getting the Mr more involved & helping more.

** From the camera **

** Reflection(s) **
Please remind me to talk with you about whatever is on my mind, seeking your perspective on the situation. My ultimate destination is to share in your Glory!

Tuesday Tidbit + Today's Motivation + Verse Immersion Finally!

Todays' Motivation brought to you by MY sore Glutes...

We FINALLY made it to Verse Immersion...

We weren't sure what to expect... 

Not really Virtual Reality....

But some kind of headgear that you use to interact with the Hologram program.

We only did a couple for today, Unreal Garden [big 👍] & Primal Ranch [so-so]

The place is called The Palace...

Lot's of different arcade activities,

There was also bowling, but since a league competition was going on, I didn't take a photo...

This was a mural on the bathroom wall...I had a good laugh over it.

And of course I Had to take a photo of the Money Man...

Home earlier than I thought, so the Mr and I hunted dandelions in the yard, got in the office for a bit of work, and getting ready for a early dinner, just enjoy each other and Chill for the night. Mr's work week starts tomorrow and I have more ''to-do list'' catchup to get done.

Thursday Thoughts



**PSA Rant**
🤔thinking I'm disappointed One...Final...Time.  In an effort to "get ready" for refreshing the landscape mulch an order was placed at the local "hardware" store. And though I do appreciate it being delivered, I DON'T appreciate my pallet location being moved over directly in front of my garage door, I also DON'T  appreciate  unsafe stacking, and for sure DO NOT APPRECIATE no access to the garage where leftover bags block the door.
[ sigh ] ** PSA Rant Over **
