Monday Moods

It's a Monday, but it's also the end of August - so is today a neutral? I'm so glad to be through this month and heading to September finally! I think August is my least favorite month because it's usually the hottest and most humid.

So I saw a neat thing on Youtube last night where a girl was crocheting a small square for each day of the year. Each square was a color based on her mood that day and at the end of the year she was going to sew them all together. I thought it was pretty interesting.

What craft project, if any, would you do to represent your moods for a  year? What do you think it would look like based on your overall mood?

What do you do on a Monday to cheer yourself up?

If you're a weirdo who doesn't hate Monday, is there a day you don't like?

Re: Monday Moods

  • What craft project, if any, would you do to represent your moods for a  year? What do you think it would look like based on your overall mood?  I think I would like to paint (watercolors) a square for each day on a calendar.  I think mine would have quite a few happy colors with crazy blues interspersed at regular intervals.  

    What do you do on a Monday to cheer yourself up?  Nothing in particular.

    If you're a weirdo who doesn't hate Monday, is there a day you don't like?  Wednesday is my least favorite day.
  • Monday.  Meh.

    I was slapped around by a migraine yesterday.  Looks like it's over though, and I've got the hangover to prove it!

    Weekend went by really quickly.  Can't wait for this weekend, especially since next Monday is Labor Day.  

    I'm wearing a maxi skirt because I haven't shaved in a few (lots) days.  Thank heavens maxi skirts are in style!
  • @labro that is a really creative project.  I wonder how it is going to look once she puts it all together.

    What craft project, if any, would you do to represent your moods for a  year? What do you think it would look like based on your overall mood? hmmm... I used to scrapbook a lot.  So I would probably make a page for each day, and include a photo to capture the mood. I am going to have to think about this more because I do like this idea. 
    What do you do on a Monday to cheer yourself up? Coffee and TK

    If you're a weirdo who doesn't hate Monday, is there a day you don't like? I don't really hate Mondays, it just sucks getting up early after not having to for two days.  

    I pretty much unpacked and cleaned all weekend except for Saturday night.  I met up with a bunch of girlfriends at this really awesome Mexican restaurant.  They serve sangria by the carafe (per person).  And I finally got my burrito fix.  It was everything I've been craving and more.

  • Overall it was a fun weekend! Friday was girl's night and we had the best meal ever. Steak with cheesy potatoes, green beans (more out of guilt than actual WANT), and creme brulee for dessert. Plus lots of cocktails!
    Saturday we headed to Austin to celebrate DH friend's birthday. We stayed out until 3AM which was NOT expected. But we went to some pretty cool bars. One of them was a huge shipping container that was sectioned off so there were areas for dancing, hanging out, etc. It was really cool!
    Sunday we had a delicious brunch with mimosas before heading back home. Then we sat around and did nothing for the rest of the night b/c DH and I were so exhausted from the weekend.
    After this weekend I have NO interest in drinking anytime soon! Lol

    I think the blanket/quilt idea is pretty cool.
    What do you do on a Monday to cheer yourself up?
    "Margarita Monday", duh!
    If you're a weirdo who doesn't hate Monday, is there a day you don't like?
    Any day coming back to work after a holiday. Those are actually much harder for me than the typical Monday.

    @labro - I love the truck! DH has a truck and it's so nice to have. Although he prefers to drive my car around on the weekends b/c "it's easier to park".
    @CocoBellaF - That extra holiday is definitely going to help me get through this week!
    @southernpeach89 - We watched Bachelor in Paradise last night too. It was a good one!

  • @beachyone15 Mmmmm margaritas. I wish drinking at work was allowed because I'd love a marg around noon. Yeah, I totally get the pain in the ass aspect of parking a truck. We're still keeping both our cars, the truck will 100% be dedicated to hardware store trips and camping. It's a diesel so it really isn't meant to be driven around as a daily commute type of car.

    @speakeasy14 Work days after a holiday are the WORST.



  • @cu97tiger Lolita? I like the alliteration. :) I'm sad I missed your KUI thread. I caught it WAY too late and didn't get to participate.



  • @labro you're not late to @cu97tiger's KUI, I'm keeping it going since everyone missed it.

    It's not really a craft, but I'd probably choose photography. It would likely be a mash up of super dark and moody pictures mixed with cutesy things like animals and sunshine. 

    What do you do on a Monday to cheer yourself up?
    I wish I could cheer myself up on a Monday! I hate Mondays, especially when the weekend flies by. I usually just avoid talking to people until after lunch on Monday when my mood has come back up to a respectable level. 

    If you're a weirdo who doesn't hate Monday, is there a day you don't like?
    Every single day that's not Friday. I even get mad on the weekends because they're just so short and there's not enough time for all the crap I try to pack in it!

    I spent all of Friday night and all day Saturday/Saturday night editing a few photo sessions. H's BFF came over with his girlfriend on Saturday to hang out, and I moved the computer into the living room so I could spend some time with them. 

    Sunday we were volunteering at church so we were gone most of the morning. We came home and binge watched Friends on Netflix (we're on Season 9 already!) and worked on some company brainstorming. 

    I'm just so sad the weekend is over!

    ETF - Apparently Mondays are so sucky they stop me from completing my thoughts, so I fixed them.

    @speakeasy14 Yeah but you really should be intoxicated for a true KUI thread. ;)

    @jenna8984 Congrats on closing!!!

    @Ollie08 A friend of mine did something like that - a photo every day. It was actually kind of cool!



  • @southernpeach89 Your face is everything! I'm sorry you are having a poopy morning!



  • @TwoDimes Lola definitely has a special place in my heart! I will keep it in mind and I'm making a list on my phone! I don't think I'll be able to decide until we drive her home. I've driven the pickup before but it's been a long time. She's a tough old girl and she lets you know when she's coming down the road!



  • What craft project, if any, would you do to represent your moods for a year? Uhm ... idk. I'm not that crafty although I've recently gotten into those "adult colouring books" - they're meant for people with anxiety issues. I forgot how amazing just sitting there and colouring little details were!
    My other option would probably be makeup related.

    What do you do on a Monday to cheer yourself up? Sometimes I'll make something really delish or give myself an extra snack to look forward to. This morning I opted to buy breakfast because I was starving!

    If you're a weirdo who doesn't hate Monday, is there a day you don't like? I am not vastly fan of Wednesdays. They're just .... weird.


    So this weekend was pretty lax. Friday I met up with my friend A before the jewelry thing. It was interesting. Cute ideas but nothing really grabbed me enough to buy myself. I had more fun building diff ideas for my friend lol
    I kept saying Friday night how exhausted I was and that I planned on sleeping in.
    Angel woke me up at 8:30am for breakfast, so I assumed I wasn't going to fall back asleep. Up, fed cats, water, bathroom, lay back down. Usually I just lay there for 10mins and give up. Apparently this was not the case. Next time I looked at the clock it was 11:15am lol

    Cleaning and stuff done. A few thank-you notes done. Got some donation stuff out of our place, which cleared up a larger space than anticipated lol
    BBQ at my aunt's place was good. They were saying the butcher messed up on pricing the kabobs so they got the beef ones for 5cents. {reference; not sure if it's every where, but beef prices are getting quite high in Canada}

    Sunday was more cleaning. We got the former bed frame boards out and more drawers under the bed set up. 2 more and we're done!
    Had a friend over last night for CFL

    My goal for this week is to get the mattress out, figure out why the handle on our filing cabinet is crooked and if we can fix it, finish drawers, get shadow boxes.

    And my birthday is in 1 week :)
  • @caseface5 Yeah I'm actually surprised we got so lucky. We've wanted a truck for a long time but we really didn't want a car payment and newer trucks are SO expensive! This one is a '99 but it was purchased new by my grandparents so we know exactly how it's been driven, what kind of care it has, everything, and it's only got 175k miles on it too so it's got many many years of life left in it based on how we plan to use it. Fingers crossed you find something right for you soon!



  • @jenna8984 Congrats on the house
    @southernpeach89 I'm sorry you are feeling so crappy

    It's Monday, but at least August is over as of today.  August was such a shitty month overall.  I'm not back at work yet, the plan is to go back after labor day.H is back at work today so I am alone.  I am having my mom come by so we can go to lunch.  H also has hockey tonight.  Physically I'm fine, otherwise I'm hanging in there.  Saturday we went to a BBQ at the IL's, it was nice being out but it was a bit hard seeing people.  Sunday we ran a few errands and went to shop sleep number beds. H really wants one, so we may splurge on a king sized sleep #.  

    Otherwise I'm back to studying, but I need some fun things too, to help the time go by.  We have an appointment with our RE on 10/8.
    What craft project, if any, would you do to represent your moods for a  year? What do you think it would look like based on your overall mood? No idea, this year has had some awesome highs and real lows.

    What do you do on a Monday to cheer yourself up?
    No idea, open for suggestions
    If you're a weirdo who doesn't hate Monday, is there a day you don't like?
    I hate Mondays and Wednesdays.

    Anniversary

  • @peaseblossom55 I'm just saying a little retail therapy and a nice lunch date ALWAYS seems to cheer me up a bit. You've been on my mind all weekend!

    @eilis1228 I'm so glad you had fun this weekend! Although throwing up before bed usually seems to help my hangovers. ;)



  • @twodimes damn you kicked ass on the organization front!

    @caseface5 frigen everyone on my FB was at country frest this weekend- glad you had a great time!

    @labro Is the truck a diesel? I'm guessing so. I argued with my H for years about getting a truck because like you said they are just so expensive. Finally 8 months ago I gave in and let him buy a 1 year old Silverado. And he came to me last week saying he's going to trade it in. He said that I was right, the payments are just too much and unnecessary, and I need a new car since my commute is way longer than his, and he was being selfish, and all this stuff. So I'm actually pretty pumped that we're going to go trade it in. As nice as the truck is, it's just not the right time for those payments. I told him he can buy an older one like your grandparent's for under $10k just to have on the side of our normal vehicles.

    @peaseblossom55 Glad your mom is having lunch with you, and that you're taking time off to just mourn and re-coup.

  • @labro I try to avoid throwing up at all costs. It usually makes my hangovers worse. :( Oddly enough, I never really felt drunk Saturday, and I never had a headache or any other hangover signs. Just a really messed up stomach.

  • @jenna8984 Yep it's a diesel! Which is why I'm so unconcerned with age/mileage, especially since we know its history. It'll be a third car for us and not a daily driver too so I think we'll get many many years of use out of it before it needs any major work. Plus we have a great diesel mechanic nearby and that's all he works on. I definitely get wanting a newer truck. I'd like love to have one of the new F150s because they have the eco-boost and get some pretty awesome gas mileage (for a truck) but I just can't justify all that money!



  • @eilis1228 your bachelorette party sounds like so much fun!

    Anniversary

  • @cu97tiger - I would love to float a river. It's been so long since I've done that!

    @Ollie08 - Friends never gets old! I always put it on when I don't know what else to watch.

    @jenna8984 - I adore your new home! The backyard is amazing!

    @TwoDimes - DH and I are due for a good house cleaning. And we still have quite a few projects to finish up, which will probably happen this weekend.

    @MissKittyDanger - Any birthday plans?

    @caseface5 - Glad the flash mob got cancelled. That just sounded like a horrible idea.

    @Peaseblossom55 - Glad you have some extra time off. I know we were all thinking about you over the weekend.

    @eilis1228 - All that drinking I did this weekend did the exact same thing to me. No hangover, but my stomach was NOT happy. If you ever get a chance to go to that bar, it is really cool. I could see how you could end up getting lost though!
