Books, Tees, Tacos!

Just finished this...just wrote my review...just wiped the tears from my eyes...loved this sweet, tender, sad, funny, quirky book!







Just bought these tees from Urban Outfitters! Comfy...soft...on sale! Again...I will have shorts on with mine! Lol! Although these are really long on me!




















It's stand up taco night! Den loves these...you bake them in the oven and they are so delicious...this recipe is from food.com!





Finishing this...really good!




Happy Wednesday!

Two Stories In One!

It's taken just a teensie bit of time to get used to this book but the author is very skillful at allowing the story to unfold. I didn't even need to check back into the book...the moment I had a question about who, what, or why anything was happening...it was answered. I love when this happens...I love books like this. So...one story is about a young YA author...living in NYC to polish her book and write its sequel. The other part is the actual book that she wrote. If it sounds confusing...it truly isn't. It's a big thick fat book and after chores...I will spend the day with it.







Do you love chopped salads? I do love chopped salads and I want one today! This is sort of a Barbecued Chicken Chopped Salad...from Faith From The Kitchn. Yum!





Today is a day without any appointments...well...one...late afternoon...but I am postponing...I need a free day!

Happy Tuesday!

Monday Morning!

Whew...a new week and I am again waiting for service people...hopefully today is the last day for a while...but I am stuck in the house all day long...we had workers in yesterday, too! I know...on Sunday! But we updated all of our DVR boxes and simplified our operating systems...all televisions have one remote...hurrah! We can see DVR'd stuff in any room on any TV...and the Xfinity 1 system is great...we are ready for guests! But yesterday involved lots of dusting and clean up...we were all so tired!

Finished this...a three novella intertwining book that was very good...set mostly in Provence...gardens, scents, perfumes and the Resistance...sad, too, but lovely.







Still reading this and reserving judgement...the 60's...integration...and funny charming over the top maids! This is on my Kindle so I read it at night when I wake up and can not get back to sleep!






Reading this in true book form...it's pretty much YA wonderful...grabbed me from it's opening pages!



Some other new books...a mixture of under realms, Victorian London, middle age fun and murder! Yum!















And...the best news of all...Roxie Blue is back to normal! Her perky peppy kitty self!




Happy Monday!

What A Week!

This has been a week of vets, repairmen, mani/pedis, Roxie's vaccine reaction, appliance check ups, mild stress...and it's not over yet! Comcast has stuff to do on Sunday and the Bosch dishwasher guy...according to the service company these are hard to find... comes on Monday. I need a rest from service people. I need time to breathe! Plus I am all of a sudden waking up at 3:30 every morning...and when I get up Lucy and Roxie get up, too...usually I can read and fall back to sleep but sleep has escaped me the last few nights...this morning I wandered into a way back bedroom to watch TV and fall asleep...but both girls followed and play fought all over me for a while. Then they just kept on wandering back and forth from Den to me...waking me up...they like us all in our room together...lol...but I was trying to let Den sleep.

And...I have not read much yesterday or today...so sad...
Almost finished with this...a YA thriller about life after WWIII but wait...there was no WWIII...it's been a lie!



Working on this...it's still really good...


Off to watch Motive For Murder...I have a yen to make vegetable soup!

See you on Monday!

Whew!

What a day! By 8:30 AM this morning we were back at the vet's with Roxie Blue who had a really bad reaction to her rabies shot. I knew when I woke up this morning and saw her still sleeping that something was wrong. She was lethargic, cried when we touched her hot little tummy, and just didn't move. She had fluids at the vet's and benedryl and another shot of something else...and back home to rest. She seems to be a little better now but I am still cautiously watching her. I am about to put cold compresses on her head! My poor baby! And I brought her a little plate of turkey baby food which she gobbled up!















Reading this...when I am not worried about Roxie...it's really fun and really good...a little girl is dropped off at her grandmother's house after the death of her father. Her father has been estranged from his mother. This book sort of reminds me of a combination of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt and The Help. We have Liberty Bell, Vidrine, Fannie, Queenie and of course...Dollbaby...as key characters!



The rest of my day will be spent worrying and kitty watching!

Happy Friday!
