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 »
Season’s Greetings, Bookworms! We spent Thanksgiving at home, just the three of us. I mean, it’s not the holiday we’d have liked to have, but on the upside, we were able to put up our Christmas decorations in a leisurely fashion. Plus we had a bunch of leftovers. I bought more Redi-Whip than anyone could… 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 »
Greetings Bookworms! Raise your hand if you’re a vibrating ball of anxiety. WHEW. COVID has ramped up to eleven (which I hesitate to say because, let’s face it, it’s probably only going to get worse) and I am just like “I’ve been stuck in my house with a toddler for 8 months already what’s 4… Read more »
Howdy Bookworms,I’ve been reading a lot of Beverly Jenkins lately. My favorite thing about reading is learning… stuff. I’m not talking about when you read a non-fiction book dedicated to a particular subject. My absolute favorite book learning is picking up seemingly random tidbits in unexpected places. For example: I’ve read a surprising number of… Read more »
