Picked up Fortune Smiles, Refund: Stories, and Me After You (finally!). Finished Infinite Home and 4 books for work. Full review on Infinite Home in January’s Show Us Your Books (January 12, 2016) but suffice it to say, it will not be on my list of yearly favorites that’s coming to you on December 29th for the bonus edition of Show Us Your Books. And congrats to Heather on winning our holiday giveaway!
Started watching Master of None and Narcos. I love Netflix’s programming.
Finished Christmas shopping, including the child’s big gift, which is a trip to Boston and the surrounding areas. She is fascinated OBSESSED with Massachusetts so instead of giving her more toys she doesn’t need or will only play with for 2 days, we’re spending the money on a trip to somewhere she desperately wants to go. Boston area friends, any recommendations on relatively reasonably priced places to stay?
Took inventory of my fall projects list. I completed 4/10. Which is shameful. It was going to be its own post but what a waste of words.
I had a really good confession for this week but it fell out of my brain so instead, I’ll confess that, despite the sentiments of the majority of people I know including my own husband, this is how I feel about the new Star Wars movie:
Read some good internet stuff this week: 101 pop culture references from a Gen X childhood (confession: I don’t know some of these but my excuse is that those of us born between 77-82ish fall into some weird Gen X/Gen Y black hole and maybe they’re from when I was too young to remember shit?), the movers who help women fleeing domestic abuse situations by moving them for free, Book Riot’s 2016 Read Harder book challenge (confession: I have no plans to participate as of now but I do have a couple of those categories in my personal reading challenge. Info on that next week), and the itinerary and photos from this guy’s $213 trip across America (confession: I want to do this).
Planned a blog redesign, content and visual, for this here space for early next year. Just need to find the money or the skills to get it done.
Coming up next week: Judging Covers (which was supposed to go live this week but we all know by now my posting scheduling never goes as planned) and my 2016 personal reading challenge. But first, a weekend filled with The Nutcracker, a birthday party, and a viewing of The Polar Express on an actual train. Look for pictures on Instagram, provided I remember to take them.
Have a great weekend!
