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!
Awesome being a Special Olympics buddy. I met a boy and his family at Sam’s who my Sean had just been with at a Villanova event. He was wearing his medal and so proud! Of course I had on one of Sean’s Villanova soccer jackets or I never would have known. Very nice having a later cheer event. I had various spirits with me at games depending on the weather. Very fun. Happy Friday.love. Steph’s. Momma.
So proud of Erica for her special Olympics buddy status!
Off to read the Avery article.

The pine straw sign is perfect.
I’ve started The Flood Girls but haven’t really gotten into it yet because people keep interrupting me (excuse them), I hope to get really into it this week.

Proud moment watching your daughter give her time and attention to someone else, so lovely! Have a great weekend!

That’s so cool about your daughter – I would have been a proud Mom too. LOL – I love the funnies, as always. #2 is so true, as I suspect #1 is too but I’m not a Mom, so no personal experience there. I did attend one of my nephew’s hockey games once and would have killed for a hot cocoa with a little something extra in it. 🙂 Have a great weekend!

thanks for the shout-out! i was SO pissed when i read that tinder exchange you posted (and someone posted it on my FB wall because they KNEW i’d have something to say about it). it really infuriates me seeing things like this. i don’t worry about me or women like me who will stand up to these shitheads but i think of women who are more shy/insecure or ‘people pleasers’ and may give in to this kind of harassment out of fear. men need to be taught to take no for an answer and not to resort to harassment and harsh criticism when a woman rejects their advances. ALSO DON’T ASK A STRANGER IF SHE’S ON BIRTH CONTROL. #UGH

Feeling grateful for…
You keep reminding me that I need to read more. Then I get distracted by something shiny. Or the zillion appointments I need to make/go to. I’m impressed when people with kids find time to breathe, let alone read.
Speaking of a zillion things to do, I should go work on my e-book, assuming customers are polite enough to leave me alone. These people — It’s always about THEIR needs!

We’re so incredibly behind on our DVR, that I’m kind of wanting to wait until we can clear our DVR out before we start watching House of Cards! I keep on hearing that it’s such a great season though, so I don’t want to wait either! I hope you have a great weekend at the cheer competition!

OMG Pinestraw HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!! that made me laugh so hard
I have one episode left of House of Cards and it took all the willpower I had to not hit “next” at midnight last night and finish out the season! I’m saving it for when I finish knocking out my to do list this weekend. Hope you have a great weekend!
I’d also go with Pinestraw.
Oo need to read the Steven Avery story.
I love talking to authors on social media. Many are really grateful when you talk about your love of their work.
