What I'm Reading This Week #36

Happy first Friday of September!  I hope everyone is doing well and ready for some tomfoolery this weekend.  Yesterday was my birthday so I opened gifts from my two besties to celebrate and did a video call with one of them.  No pressure.  I tend to wear my emotions on my face so I had to make sure if there was a WTF item that I gave it equal enthusiasm.  You're much more cognizant of it when you're in person but when they aren't in the room, you have to be more aware.  At least I do.  HA!

Let's get aware of... 

The invisible exercise that might count more than your workout  (Hey, I'll take all I can get!)

One Retro 90s Exercise Craze You Won't Believe Is Popular Again  (For some of us, it never went away)

End your day with stretches for a better night's sleep  (Gonna have to try this)

This Surprising Habit Can Stave Off Dementia, Says Study  (Turn it up!)

Unplug These Appliances That Hike Up Your Electricity Bill  (I did some yanking of plugs after this one)

4 Moves to Ensure You're a Retirement Multi-Millionaire  (Who doesn't want that?)

4 Ways to Save More for Retirement Without Sacrificing Your Lifestyle  (Good to know)

Even Millennials Might Not Be Able To Pass This '80s Knowledge Quiz  (Um, why would millennials pass it?  The earliest ones were barely able to process memories before the 80's were almost over)

Why Finding the Original 1977 ‘Star Wars’ Verges on the Impossible  (For the Mr)

I wanted a birthday celebration of stuff from my favorite restaurants from our travels this year so Goldbelly to the rescue.  We have a chocolate macadamia nut pie from Mac Pie on the Big Island of Hawaii that we haven't had in 10 years and pizza from Pequod's in Chicago which is by far superior to all other pizzas in Chicago.  I ordered extra since it was only $30 so if we got the itch some other time, we could thaw and have the good stuff.  I'll open the Mr's gifts tomorrow and that'll round out my birthday celebration.  That's the fun thing about a mid(ish) week birthday is you can stretch it out a bit if you want to.  🥳

You getting into anything this weekend?
