Once again, coming to you live from my iPhone. So this will be short, sweet, and probably full of typos and weird autocorrects. 

 

• Still reading Beasts and Children. Picked up The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend and American Housewife. 
• Thanks to everyone who linked up for Show Us Your Books and listened to the podcast. It should be in iTunes next week and we’ll be sure to let you know when it is.
• Had a fun and interesting Twitter conversation with Richard Fifield (The Flood Girls). THIS is why I love authors and social media. It’s amazing when you can talk about a book with the person who wrote it. It’s even better when the author is kind and funny and personable. And yes, I fangirled hard the whole time (oh, and his IG handle–because I stalk on all the social media–is mrsjakeryan. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!)
• Watched half of the new season of House of Cards. Insane. Just insane.
• Hit my steps goal on half the days. Okay, so I lowered it to 5k but still. 
• This school year, my daughter has been a buddy for the Special Olympics and this past week was their bowling tournament. I have never been so proud to watch her do anything ever. 
• Did you guys know that there are mint brownie Larabars? They are amazing!! 
• Internet reads: Again, I read some stuff but it’s mostly election and social policy stuff. Boring to most people except dorky me. But this post (and Ali’s, which are hilarious, by the way) is an example of why I am so glad not to have to date in the era of dating apps. And also this one about Steven Avery and some evidence that suggests he might have been framed (what, you think I’ve forgotten my obsession? Also, it’s a post from Hello Giggles so the reporting isn’t the greatest but it gets the point across).
• Funnies:      

Another weekend, another cheer competition. This one is late in the day, though, which is nice. And a nice change from having to get up with the fucking roosters.

Hope you all have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here on Tuesday!
