What I'm Reading This Week 2016 #2

Happy Friday all!

I don't mind telling you all I'm a little tired of watching movies of people who have recently passed away.  Monday we watched Labyrinth (affiliate link)  in honor of David Bowie and we watched Dogma (affiliate link)  last night in honor of Alan Rickman.  He did such a wonderful job as Metatron.  Sigh.

But enough about the jerk that is cancer taking more amazing people, let's get to...

Adele Carpool Karaoke  (I'm sure you've seen it but in case you haven't.  You don't even need to be a fan to love this)

Okay, for real this weekend we're tackling Christmas stuff.  I need to get stuff organized in the basement before anything can be put away so my plan is to start that today.  Today is day 5 of our program and it's thankfully stretching day.  I'm so looking forward to that as well.

What are y'all getting into this weekend?

    While I love those movies I agree, it's not cool that we had to watch them due to losing two great human beings in the same week! Happy Friday everybody!
