Short recap. Let’s do it.
Show Us Your Books is this Tuesday, 2/9/16. Title of my post? What the fuck did I just read? Because literally every book I read last month had me asking that question.
After I quit Owen Meany, I finished Crank, Pretty Girls, and Tampa. Currently reading Violent Ends. Requested an ARC of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s new book and I’m waiting on that. Have 7 books on hold at the library. We’ll see what comes of that.
Thanks to a free trial of Showtime, I watched Billions (get on that show if you can) and Brotherhood (an older show that’s also on Amazon Prime). I have not yet gotten around to watching the OJ Simpson miniseries on FX. Has anyone watched it? Is it any good?
Made not one new recipe this week unless you count chicken thighs marinated in balsamic fig salad dressing in the crockpot. I do not because it’s not much different than the normal way I make that particular dish.
Had a book proposal accepted. Sure, it’s with the company I work for but I’m publishing a book. It’s not the one I’ve been working on, it’s a different one, nonfiction, but yay for me!
Decided to give up Paleo coffee creamer in favor of the natural ones from Coffeemate. I just can’t do the coconut milk in my coffee anymore. I don’t like it no matter how much I try.
Broke up with my daughter’s pediatrician for a number of reasons. Specifically, they changed doctors in the practice without letting us know and the doctor they wanted us to have sucks and then tried to cancel our appointment last minute thinking it was okay and all of that is a big fat no. So we decided to change doctors. Best choice ever.
Found out The Duggars are supposedly coming back to TV. So many angry faces. WHY, TLC, WHY? I feel betrayed by you except I’m not entirely unsurprised. Money makes people do strange things.
No nonwork related internet reads this week. Sorry. I’ve been reading about the Flint water crisis, though, and I’m pretty sure that’s too much of downer for a Friday (but seriously, read up on it if you haven’t. It’s some scary shit).
Wish us luck as we have our first competition with the new gym on Sunday! And the child’s BFF is coming with us. We’ve never had to manage another child at one of these things. #onlychildparentproblems
Have a great weekend! See you Tuesday for all of your book posts!
