Hiya Bookworms. Last week was… Something. Inspired by the second book in this post, I’m likening it to a ride on the Scrambler. You know. That carnival ride that tests the mettle of even non-motion-sickness-prone people? I feel like I’ve been standing in line for four years shouting “we really shouldn’t go on this ride,… Read more »
Happy New Year, Bookworms! Am I the only person who spends the week between Christmas and New Year’s with “Long December” by Counting Crows stuck in my head? I can practically smell 1996 when I hear it. “It’s been a long December and there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the… Read more »
Well, Bookworms,We made it. And if that’s the only thing we accomplished this year? Honestly it’s pretty impressive. This year has been… I mean. Is there a soul on the planet who is not in need of some level of therapy to deal with the trauma that was 2020? I’m not here to ruminate on… Read more »
I’ve got a lot of problems with you people… Just kidding. Happy Festivus, Bookworms. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. This is the first year we’ll be spending by ourselves as a family of three. I’m excited to see Sam get excited over Santa’s visit as this year is the first year he truly “gets” it, but… Read more »
Hi Hi Hi Bookworms, It has been FIFTY WEEKS? Of 2020? Look at me, being awesome at New Year’s Resolutions. And look at 2020 being objectively terrible. Nobody likes a pandemic, you accursed year! That said, if I look really closely, and like squint? I can see a few upsides to this dumpster fire. One… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms, It’s still 2020. We’re still hunkered down, trying not to get sick as per usual. Sam is taking fewer and fewer naps which SUCKS, but he’s 3 and change now, so I suppose that’s to be expected. I just, you know, didn’t expect to still be stuck at home for almost an entire… Read more »
Hello Bookworms, We’re heading into Thanksgiving week and it’s looking like pretty much every other week since March for us. We decided to scuttle our plans to have Thanksgiving dinner with my parents because COVID is raging right now in our state. Like, I know that vaccines are coming and there’s a light at the… Read more »
Hello Bookworms, I’m playing a bit of catch-up telling you about books because I have been on fire with the reading lately. Whew. Too much stress means so much book bingeing. Let’s just get right to it. American Royals by Katharine McGee- I know, I know, it seems a bit MUCH to be reading about… Read more »
Greetings Bookworms! This week I’ve been working on Sammy’s Halloween costume. Not that we’re going Trick-or-Treating in the traditional sense, but that’s no excuse not to have a fun costume. I had originally planned to have Sammers dress up as Mike Wazowski- I even got myself a Sulley costume so we could be all matchy-matchy…. Read more »
Greetings, Bookworms! I don’t know about you, but I’m completely exhausted by current events. My energy is sapped. My blood pressure goes bonkers when I see science denial and arguing with people on the internet gives me hives. For my own mental health, I’ve liberally (get it? Because I’m liberal? Come for the books, stay… Read more »
