It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done a weekly recap but I figured maybe I should start that again. Maybe I’ll even begin including pictures (insert collective gasp)!
Not too interesting of a week but there were some highlights:
- I bought planner stickers. They were on sale and I get jealous of Kathy and Rebecca Jo‘s pretty planners so I figured for $3, what the hell. Now I own the stickers and I don’t know what to do with them. Suggestions?
- Mr. Robot is the biggest mindfuck of a show in the history of ever and I watched LOST. Just when I think I get it, I don’t. But damn, Craig Robinson, are you good at being creepy and my 15 year old self loves seeing Christian Slater every week.
- Last weekend, my town had a big craft beer festival to support our historic preservation society or something like that. So we went. I had fun, despite the 8 billion degree weather and despite eating tacos from a stand advertising “Taco’s” (At first, I did refuse to eat from there due to the poor grammar but you know…drunk) and despite eating tacos rather than Old Bay tater tots. I did successfully avoid using the portapotty and I made some new friends. Many wins for me!
- I finished The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck by Sarah Knight. You guys. READ THIS FUCKING BOOK. If you listen to The Armchair Librarians, you heard me discuss it and I’ll do so in-depth for the next Show Us Your Books but expect many references to this book around these parts in the near future.
- Speaking of books, my next library haul is going to be nuts. So many books, so much diversity in topic, and one of them is Lady Cop Makes Trouble!!!! IG post coming as the books roll in (not following me on IG? You should!) or after I hit the library at some point today, depending on how many are there.
- The child is now the proud owner of an iPhone. I’m not prepared for this. Also, does anyone else not give a fuck about the iPhone7? I’m quite happy with the 6 and I am in no rush at all to buy the new one, especially before others buy it and I hear feedback. I might wind up getting one when the times comes for an upgrade on my line but I don’t care enough to make it a priority. Mostly because it’s a fucking phone.
A funny:
Enjoy your weekend! I’ll be celebrating my mother-in-law’s 60th and a childfree Friday night while she’s at some cheer team bonding sleepover thing. Hope you do something fun, too!
Each week Mr. Robot gets more and more confusing and weird and I find myself extremely wtf? But yet, I keep watching. Christian Slater has aged very well. He’s still pretty. I love that at first you took a stand over not eating at a taco stand with poor grammar, that made me laugh this morning.
My love of proper grammar is deep!
HAHAHAHAH you bought planner stickers but no planner? do you journal? you can use those in your journal if you do…or you know, you can actually get a planner 😀 LOL
as for the not giving a fuck book, I put that on hold and i’m in position 103 on 4 copies…so i’lll be able to get my hands on that book by the year 2040.
I have a planner! Now I just sit and stare at it and the stickers and think “what the fuck do I do now?”
ohhhhhhhhh – I’m wondering what stickers you got now.
I actually just got a stamp set for journals/planners at Michaels – they are 40% off. & all things stickers & planner decorations are 40% off – if you have one near you – get there!
I don’t watch Mr. Robot, but I totally get how the 15-year-old in you is excited to see Christian Slater every week! 🙂 Lady Cop Makes Trouble, plus 3 more books, are also sitting on the library holdshelf for me to pick-up tomorrow. I’m super excited to read it. When I read Girl Waits with Gun, it had a small sample of Lady Cop Makes Trouble and I loved it. I also felt kind of dumb because I didn’t realize it was a series. 🙂 I am super intrigued by the Sarah Knight book. It sounds like my kind of book. 🙂 Have a great weekend!

Buy that book! It’s like $10 and worth every single penny. I know you’re working through some stuff and it will definitely help.
Christian Slater makes me swoon.
Adding The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck to my TBR! I want to get a planner and stickers and shit but like I dont know what to do with all of it either. When you figure out, please share. I always tell myself I don’t care about getting a new phone but then I end up caring and getting one pretty soon after they come out. Chris went to stand in line this morning at ATT but they only had regular ones not the 7Plus and neither of us can go from our big phones to micro machines so we will wait. I dread the day my daughter has a phone. Yikes!!!

Oh, I definitely don’t care. Phones are necessity, not a priority to me.
By the time your daughter is old enough, we’ll probably be back to rotary phones.
I never get the new phone until like a year after it comes out. LOL
I keep meaning to watch Mr. Robot and forgetting. I super love Christian Slater then, now, and forever.
Watching him on the show reminds me why I had such a crush on him in the 90s.
I saw the iPhone 7, went “Okay,” and promptly returned to not wanting it. I do need an upgrade because I’m still running on the original iPhone 5, but I’m not interested in the 7, and that is incomprehensible to some.
That is exactly how I feel. We need to upgrade my husband’s (flip) phone (he gets an iPhone from work) and we just plan to get another 6. I care almost nothing about the 7.
We ordered our iPhone 7 Plus’ the other day and they won’t even ship until between 10/10 and 10/19. EYE ROLL. Honestly, I don’t care too much about it, but, we were due for an upgrade so why the hell not? I’m not a fan of the ear buds though… ugly AF.
omg that funny made me laugh out loud.
i give zero shits about the iphone 7. i have a 6, and before that i had a 4? i like my iphone but yeah. not a priority at all.
adding that book to my list! we watched a few episodes of mr robot, but then KC went on wikipedia and ruined it and then ruined it for me. i was so cranky!
I had to go see what “Lady Cop Makes Trouble” is…then, I thought “damn, I need to read Girl Waits with Gun!” Going to my library holds now (as if I don’t have enough checked out already) and adding to my list. Okay. Done!

I missed this post somehow but I’m so glad I didn’t mark is as read. I love boycotting a place with poor grammar on its sign. Way to stick it to the stupid! I want a new phone because rose gold is so pretty, but I can wait bc the 7 isn’t that much better than the 6 and the new iOS is everything I never needed in a phone but am nonetheless obsessed with. I have sent SO MANY gifs the past few days…
