This week in saving money…Fortunately I live an hour away from many, many outlet stores and since my child decided to grow and needed everything under the sun for the spring and summer, that’s where we went shopping. While my in-laws picked up the tab for her stuff (thank you, in-laws), I bought some stuff for me. Four t-shirt and a hoodie from the Old Navy outlet for roughly $30. That totally works for me.
This week in cooking…Awhile back, I had found a recipe for zucchini bread muffins. I had more zucchini than is necessary on hand so I gave them a try. DELICIOUS. Only this time, I didn’t have vanilla extract. So I substituted almond extract. Even more delicious.
This week in reading…Working my way through Stolen and Mobile Library, not The One Hundred Year Old Man as planned. Full review coming this Tuesday, April 14 for Show Us Your Books.
This week in watching…Nothing new, just lots of SVU reruns and anxiously awaiting the start of Orange is the New Black and True Detective in June. Oh, and we rented The Imitation Game last weekend. Great movie but I truly don’t get everyone’s obsession with Benedict Cumberbatch. Can someone please explain?
This week in listening…I created a movie songs playlist in Spotify. I’m quite pleased with it yet I feel like something is missing. What’s your favorite song from a movie? Let me know in the comments. I’m not sure, though, that I’ll listen to the new podcast about Adnan Syed (you know, the subject of Serial). I might give it a try. Maybe.
This week in things that annoy me…People who, in public, have conversations on speaker phone. The expression “on fleek” (seriously, what the hell is that? So we’re just creating random nonsense words now and then making them things? Let’s not even discuss the fact that I had to look up what it means and the fact that the first time I saw it was on a cheer bow and the second time was on Seth Rogen’s Instagram. Let’s also not discuss how ridiculous that last sentence makes me sound). Bi-polar weather. People who play the follow/unfollow/follow game on social media. My cat.
This week in things that don’t annoy me…Leftovers for lunch. Realizing that when my parents come to visit me this weekend, my favorite bagel store, which closes during Passover, will have reopened because Passover ended the day before they come down so I get my bagels (no one will ever convince me that bagels from anywhere other than New York are worth eating)!!! My daughter having friends over because I don’t have to come up with ways to entertain her or endure 2947326 continuous hours of Victorious, iCarly, and all her other Nickelodeon shows.
This week in internet reads…I’ve got nothing this week but I do have about a dozen links saved (does anyone else abuse the Facebook “save link” feature?) so be prepared for next week’s onslaught.
This week in funnies…
It was an uneventful week here in Delaware and it’s shaping up to be just as uneventful of a weekend, which is just fine by me. See you all on Monday when I’ll be completely ripping off one of Kristen’s post ideas. Have a great weekend!
seems that all the kidlets are growing. kayla has been walking around in floods and way-too-short shirts because i haven’t had a chance to take her shopping for new clothes.
Erica was getting to that point. Her shorts were all booty shorts and I can’t have that. It did take a month before I got to take her shopping, though. And I forgot to get her a haircut during her spring break. Oops.
Currently too legit – BWAHAHAHA – Stealing this.
And yeah – public speaker phone use = freaking annoying.
And and and and and – SVU is my JAM

My husband doesn’t understand how I can watch 4329743 hours of SVU in a row. There’s clearly something wrong with him. Not me.
I don’t think I’ve ever used the save link on FB. I don’t even know it exists!
I also don’t get the Benedict Cumberbatch thing, but I like that his fans call themselves Cumberbitches. LOLOL
Every time I see “on fleek” I want to punch that person in the face. It’s nonsense.
Favorite songs from a movie, that’s so hard. I love Change from Vision Quest which often goes under the radar.
SMD @ Life According to Steph recently posted…Friday Five: Things from the week
I have Crazy for You on there. Will look up this one.
HAHAHAHA! I love that his fans call themselves that.
Umm, I first learned of “on fleek” because of a McDonald’s billboard. And you better believe I had to look it up. I still don’t REALLY get it, because #oldlady.
Marcie recently posted…2015 Q1 book challenge — the results
I’m an old lady, too. I think I understand. I’m going to pretend I do anyway.
Haha I saw that Currently too legit meme on Pinterest, love it!! UGH “on fleek” is pretty much the dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while. I mean where did the word “fleek” even come from?? It’s NOT EVEN A WORD. Ahem, sorry. 😉 I hate when people use speakerphone in public, and I hate being put on speakerphone because it sounds like you’re talking in a cave and the person who puts you on speakerphone always thinks they’re talking loud enough and they never are so I spend the whole phone call going “What??”
Julia @ Grace Makes New recently posted…Friday Favorites
No. Fleek is not a work. It’s a noise my dogs’ toys make.
I can’t stand being on speakerphone either. I *might* yell at my husband sometimes when he does it.
1. I had no idea that FB had a save feature. Mind blown. I fucking hate how they’ve taken over my life and I can’t fight it.
2. Sherlock made me love Benedict Cumberbach.
3. I’m the worst at playlists. Do you have the required Disney songs? 🙂
4. almond > vanilla ALWAYS. try it in a cake. ON FREAKIN POINT.
5. I already posted my books because I’m on my own fucking program (and because I didn’t want to unpublish it after realizing I was a week ahead). #sorrynotsorry 😀
Teh Megan recently posted…Five on Friday #49
I don’t know that I have Disney songs on there. I might have to add a couple.
You can still link up even with an already published post. NBD.
I’ve never watched Sherlock. I probably should.
I agree, I see nothing attractive about Benedict Cumberbatch. I really don’t understand why some women swoon over him. I’m actually behind on my reading which I’m not happy about. Stolen is on my to-read list and I’m hoping to get to it next week. There is nothing like a NY bagel!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
Karen recently posted…That’s What She Said // Mother Teresa
Stolen was excellent! And NY bagels are the best ever.
There’s an expression called “on fleek” ? What?! I’m confused.
That Benedict guy has a fun name, but he does nothing for me.
Mm, bagels.
Amber recently posted…On The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique At Disney World
Yes. There is. I don’t understand it.
I heart bagels.
Lmao!! Too legit to quit.
Ummm I had to ask someone wtf fleek meant this week too. I think I might be getting old! Lol
Lindsay recently posted…10 Things That Made Me Happy 04.10.2015
I am old. Although I feel that if even I were not, I would still not know what that expression meant.
WTF is fleek??? I haven’t heard of that shit yet. Alabama is always about a year late to the game in just about everything, so no surprise there.
I am trying to finish my book this weekend so I have something to link up with next Tuesday. Priorities, And ummm I am too legit. Always. 🙂 Have a great weekend!!!

I think it’s a relatively new expression. And now we’re even because you had to explain “turn down for what” to me 🙂
The loud phone talkers? Hate them. I commute on a train daily. Sometimes, it takes all my self-control not to grab someone’s phone and throw it out the window.
Favorite song from a movie…damn, there are so many (and I won’t say Blaze of Glory because that’s too obvious coming from me). Iris from City of Angels. Falling Slowly from Once. In Your Eyes from Say Anything. Colorful from Rock Star. Lose Yourself from 8 Mile.
Erin recently posted…Friday Favorites Five vol. 8
It shouldn’t surprise you that I already had In Your Eyes and Lose Yourself on the playlist. I forgot about Iris. Love that song!
Check out Colorful from Rock Star. It’s by The Verve Pipe. It’s the song at the end that Marky Mark is singing in the coffee shop.
Erin recently posted…Sunday’s Seven Snapshots.20
I don’t get the Benedict thing either, I don’t find him attractive at all. I didn’t know about the save link thing but I am never on Facebook much either. Is Adnan getting his own podcast? I know Serial is coming back but with a new story.
Kerry recently posted…Friday Favorites | Party Time
Yes, the friend’s sister who brought the case to Sarah is starting one. I can’t remember the name of it, though.
He’s not attractive! He’s talented, though.
Yay when someone else pay for our kids’ clothes! They need new clothes like every season! Guess The 100 Year Old Man isn’t that riveting ;). I don’t get the Cumberbatch thing either. Or fleek. I won’t even look it up. I love zucchini bread! And lol on that “legit” quote!
lisacng @ expandng.com recently posted…Biologist dads are the scariest dads
It is riveting! At least what I’ve read so far. That’s why I’m getting so annoyed that I did a poor job of tracking due dates. I have one book left to finish and then I get to pick it up again. I’m excited!
There’s a new podcast about Adnan?
Scott and I really liked The Imitation Game. Branson from Downton was in it and I like him.
Kristin recently posted…March Books
I don’t watch Downton so I don’t know who that it.
There is. Rabia, the woman who first brought the case to Sarah Koenig, is launching one. I think it starts today or tomorrow.
Speaker phone in public is obnoxious and stupid! And leftovers are always yummy – even yummier

Cook once, eat twice is one of my mottos.
The idea of Little K having friends over frightens me but when you say I’ll not have to entertain her I think hmmm this could be good where do I get some friends. Ha!
Kelli recently posted…Conversations With Myself – Vol. 6
I love when Erica has friends over. I think we’re lucky because she has great friends who know how to behave. If they didn’t, they would not be at my house.
Great trip at the ON outlet! We have one here, but it feels like a regular ON. I don’t see many deals. I think Benedict Cumberbatch is a good actor, though I’ve only seen him in that movie and Sherlock. But he is not hot. At all! I use that FB save button ten times a day. I just looked and I have 192 things to read. Ugh.
