What I'm Reading This Week #19

Hello hello, mah peeps!  I hope you had a good week.  A quick birthday shout out to my FIL.  I'm sure he's whipping up quite a party up there and DJing like he used to back in the day.   It's very hard to not think that today was supposed to be our first full day walking Ogunquit Beach in Maine after finding a place we could finally afford there.   I'm also failing at knowing we should still be gone for another week. and we're especially bitter given what a complete disaster our attempt at a smaller getaway was when we stayed at the worst place we've ever rented a few days ago.  When I say there was nowhere comfortable to sit/sleep, I mean NOWHERE.  The Mr is crippled and we spent our anniversary hoping he didn't end up on a telehealth call for strong pain meds.  I had borderline migraines daily and by the end was also limping with my SI joint joining the hobble party.  It rained torrentially every single day which we're fine with n...

Happy Black Friday and What I'm Reading This Week

Good day all!

I hope your holiday was wonderful and for those of you braving the throngs...God speed.  I'll sit back and watch the coverage on TV on the parking lots full of land sharks and what fights break out over stuff people don't care about 364 days of the year.  Good times.  :-)

But enough of that, let's get to...

Today my best friend is coming over for afternoon tea.  Me being me, I went overboard.  I'll post pics I'm sure.  She's moving down south so no more meeting halfway for Christmas merriment.  I'm bummed about it but I know she'll come back to visit family so I'll probably still see her once a year like usual.  It'll still be bittersweet.  I'm sure a tear or two will be shed.

Anyone tackling Black Friday crowds?  Plans for the weekend?

  1. I moved 150 miles away from my bestie 17 years ago. It was difficult but I think we are closer now because we appreciate the friendship more. It also could be maturity, not sure.
    Used your turkey recipe yesterday and received many praises! First time I have ever been asked how I prepared the Bird!
    Thank you and happy Friday!

  3. For me, I'm glad the day is behind me now. Very hard, but not unexpected. And it rained nonstop so I couldn't take the pooches out for a drive, which they are NOT happy about. =o) I don't do any shopping in the stores on this day (did it one time at one store and that was enough for me) but I may have to venture out to buy some pumpkin pie. I totally forgot about dessert (he doesn't eat pie) and I was really craving pumpkin pie last night. It's cold, wet, and gloomy out so we'll see how far I venture. LOL

    Enjoy your tea with your best friend! Tears and laughter are good things to share, so create a nice lasting memory to hold on to. She'll definitely come visit on a yearly basis, so imagine all the stories she'll have to share about living down south! I hope it's a wonderful visit for you guys. xoxo
