What I'm Reading This Week #14

Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer.  No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere.  I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years.  I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer.  I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out.  When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival.   source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer.  He lived authentically himself which is something we all hope to say when o...

What I'm Reading #47

Wow...#47 means there's like five weeks left of the year.  Yeesh!!  Time marches quickly, doesn't she?  I was pretty productive this week even if I didn't get things done quite as fast as I thought I should've.  I made my mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving and froze them.  I dried the bread for homemade stuffing (sweet bread and sourdough) and got my pie crusts made.  I got my Christmas cards addressed and stamped this week which feels like a huge load off.  

Anyhoo...let's load up on...

  2. Good for you for getting a lot done!! I've had a pretty productive week as well, and today my list has grown to numerous stores to bang out all in one outing, so I'll be amongst the masses today. Our boy pooch has to have a dental cleaning on Monday as well as removing a lot of excess gum tissue (some breeds are more prone, but they don't know what causes it) so I'm a wee bit stressed about that because they have to knock him out. But I think he'll feel a lot better having it done. Poor fella. Because I have to work next Wed, I'm going to go see my uncle tomorrow for Thanksgiving since next week is now out. So I'll go to my meeting first, then head out to the burbs. The hubs has to work, so we'll do grocery shopping on Sunday after we drop the mutts off at the groomer's for some scrubbin' time. My hope is to have just about all of my Christmas shopping done by this weekend, most of which is today.
    Enjoy a fabulous weekend! And pat yourself on the back for getting a huge amount of things done!
