Lake Tahoe - have you ever been there? It has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth! No, but it looks beautiful!
Can you believe it is August? No, this summer is flying by!
August's flower is the gladiolus and its birthstone is the peridot.
August is the eighth month, renamed by the Romans from Sextilis', meaning sixth, to honor their emperor, Augustus.
Do you have any personal goals for August? Pretty much the same ones-be more consistent with exercise and I am trying to relax a bit more. Do you have any birthdays / weddings / special events this month? Today is my SIL's birthday, next Friday is a wedding of a daughter of one of DH's former coworkers.

1. Have you ever - Gone fishing? No Gone hunting? No but I have done some target shooting. Worked on your car (greasy under the hood work)? Nope that's DH's thing. Repaired a toilet? No but I had one sitting in my living room! Built something with wood, hammer, nails? No, DH gets scared if he sees me with a tool in my hand! Made a household repair you are proud of? Again, not my thing!
2. What was the last thing you purchased? I went to Bed Bath & Beyond last Sunday and bought some new kitchen gizmos Who was the last person you talked to - in person? DS On the phone? A former coworker Via email? DD What was your last form of exercise? Walking What was the last thing you ate? Egg white omlet When was the last time you told someone you loved them? This morning when DH left for work.
3. What color are your eyes? Bluish-green Do you wear glasses / contacts? Glasses Are you diligent about wearing sunglasses? Yes Do you use a moisturizer specifically designed for wrinkles around the eyes? No
4. How often do you wash the baseboards / woodwork in your house? I give them a good vaccuming about every two weeks and I scrub around the door handles about once a month How often do you clean out the crumbs from your toaster? When I look in there and think-wow those should really come out of there How often do you pull the kitchen appliances away from the wall to clean under and behind them? I pull the drawer out from the stove every once in a while. DH pulls the refrigerator out about 2x a year. Have you ever made natural cleaning solutions? No, I just accumulate the articles about making them and then forget that I have them.
5. Share something about yourself that we may not know. That I didn't used to like chocolate!
I am having so much trouble getting onto ivillage to respond to anything this morning. Anyone else having trouble or is it my computer?
Can you believe it is August? Had to believe, July just flew by. I have a feeling this month will too.
August's flower is the gladiolus and its birthstone is the peridot. I remember my mother growing gladiolus in our garden when I was a kid but I have not seen them in a very long time. I love peridot and have a beautiful necklace/ring/ear ring set I wear to work even though its not my birthstone.
August is the eighth month, renamed by the Romans from Sextilis', meaning sixth, to honor their emperor, Augustus. Learn something new each day!
