- Finished Undermajordomo Minor. Started Dumplin’ and Thirteen Ways of Looking. Picked up a book for the husband and Hate List for me. Show Us Your Books on Tuesday with extra surprises because it’s the one year anniversary.
- The Martian. It’s been a week since I’ve seen it and guys, it was so, so good. They did give it the Hollywood treatment but for the most part, it was a pretty faithful adaptation of the book. There was still all the math and all the science (you can’t tell the story without it) but it was extremely well done. And manageable and understandable for people like me who can’t math. Matt Damon was perfect casting. Sadly, though, I don’t think it was his butt they showed.
- Started using the Nike Training app on my phone. I think Nadine and Kathy have mentioned it and another friend of mine, Tonya, who is also crazy fit, recommended it. So my fat ass listened to those without fat asses. So far, so good. My one first world gripe is that it doesn’t sync with my FitBIt. So even though I’m exercising, it’s not registering it and not counting towards my steps.
- Did a bunch of laundry. Folded none of it.
- Binge watched all of the first season of How to Get Away with Murder last weekend. Will work through the first few episodes of this season on Saturday night because that’s what old married couples do. Then we’ll watch Amy Schumer on SNL. Which actually isn’t terrible. I mean, the skits are but the cast right now is ridiculously talented.
- Tore it up in the kitchen. I made lemon and garlic chicken with red potatoes and green beans, mushroom gnocchi (with store bought gnocchi ’cause ain’t nobody got time to make that shit from scratch), and something else I know was delicious but I can’t remember right now what it was.
- Debated with the child if The Flash or Billy Thunderman would win in a race. It was our equivalent of “could Mighty Mouse beat up Superman”. If you know who Billy Thunderman is, feel free to weigh in. If you don’t, consider yourself lucky.
- Internet reading. Didn’t really do much. Saved a whole bunch of links but didn’t read through any of them. I apologize to those who use the links to
wastepass the time at work on Fridays. - Got these funnies from the husband:
Outdoor cheer competition this weekend. Send me all your warmth. Hope your weekend is great and fun and relaxing and productive. Or filled with naps and books and puppy/kitty hugs.
lol @ that married one. hilarious! and yes, we saw the martian last weekend. i like the way you phrased it, it definitely got the hollywood treatment (the ending made me cringe a wee bit) but overall it was fabulous.
i also did a ton of laundry this week.. zero folding. oops. have a good weekend!

I am freaking dying at the white girls funny. SERIOUSLY.
I need to make time to see The Martian. I need to do a lot of things right now. Still playing catch up from vacation and a storm of shit going on making me feel behind on life in general. But I will get there!

LOLOLOL at those funnies!!!! I want to go see The Martian!!!! I loved that book so so much! And hurrah for the Nike Training app. I hate when I do any workout besides running with my fitbit because you are right, it looks like you did nothing. But your body will tell you otherwise with those results after your dedication 🙂
It has been in the 80’s here this week. You can have all of it that you want, I will rush deliver it to you! Have a great weekend!

That pumpkin spice image is so freaking funny I laughed out loud. Hope you enjoy NTC. I’m doing a gain fitness workout this morning since I was too lazy to drive to the gym.

I really want to see the Martian. I haven’t read the book yet though, not sure what I want to do first! Probably see the movie so I won’t be upset when it doesn’t follow the book exactly.

We are picking out a puppy on Sunday ! Watching Sean’s Villanova game on tv since it’s ridiculous to spend a ton to fly anywhere for 1 game. We will be with him in spirit. Watching Riley and Colin’s soccer games Saturday ! Since we can see Lola everyday during the week, we will back off and let others have the weekend except for Sunday night when uncle Sean will finally get to visit with her again. Grateful to infinity and beyond.
Happy and warm thoughts sent for the outdoor cheer competition. Love. Steph’s. Momma
hahahahahaha that white girl meme. at first i was like whaaa? then i saw the PS bottle and laughed my ass off.

Every time I see the words “the Martian” I just want to force my friend to hurry up and finish reading it so we can go see the movie together. I can’t wait!
Good luck this weekend, stay warm! 🙂

That lemon/garlic/chicken/potato/green bean concoction sounds delish. I truly don’t remember the last time that my husband and I went to the movie theater to watch a movie just for us. I said we’d do it for The Martian. We haven’t yet. Next weekend we are childfree. Fingers crossed, we can make it happen.

I am actually watching the newest episode of How To Get Away With Murder right now, after I woke up from a nap. So good.

I took your dinosaur picture from last week and made it my desktop background on my school laptop. The kids love seeing it up there projected on the whiteboard. Like, they get it.
The pumpkin spice one has me chuckling.
It’s going to be almost 90 here this weekend. Sending the warmth…
I watched the history of SNL thing last week and it was super interesting. I always watch if I’m up that late on Saturday.
Lastly, I used to use the Nike thing. Not sure why I stopped.

I want to see The Martian SO BAD. I swear everyone has seen it but me. I am curious about your phrasing of “The Hollywood Treatment” I know my Dad and brother said there was something that they didn’t like even though they really loved the movie overall. They didn’t spoil it for me though because they know I would cut them. 🙂
Kimmi recently posted…Weekend Recap: The Reenactment
I have every episode of …Murder on TiVo. I need to start watching it already! I’ve always loved SNL but it definitely has it’s weak seasons. So far I’m loving this one and I totally agree that the cast is great. I can’t wait to see Tracy host next week!
