It's All About Some Love!

This face...I love this face...asthma inhalers...cold laser treatments...glucosamine in her food every day...we do it all...she endures it all...I love this sweet girl! Den even brings her breakfast upstairs to her every day...now she goes to the top of the stairs and waits to be served. If she is sleeping upstairs and I am downstairs she will wake up and literally fly out of her bed to find me...she will jump into my lap as if to say "I missed you".







This face...Roxie...races through the house with a huge fluffy tail...follows me everywhere...playful...smart...watches Lucy and does everything Lucy does...we have only had her for two years but I can't remember a time without her. She shows all of us so much love...and she adores her Lucy!





Reading this...just started it...so...no real thoughts about it yet!




Oh...one more thing I love today...as clean as Den and I eat all of the time...today I am making jello with walnuts and bananas with Cool Whip on top. Filled with preservatives, sugar and the dreaded carrageenan that we avoid in our food and in kitty foods. But my mom made this all of the time...we are both craving it...the walnuts are organic and if Den finds organic whipped cream we will use that but the jello...OMGD! This photo is from a blog called Just A Pinch but it looks just like my mom's looked...even that same glass dish...I hate those words...artificial flavor! I hope our bodies don't go into shock!






Happy Reading!

Simply Stuff...

Reading this...so good...starring a totally dysfunctional yet brilliant ex detective...Keye Street...

From Amazon...

“An explosive read . . . Amanda Kyle Williams sets the classic private eye novel on fire.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child

Hailed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as “one of the most addictive new series heroines,” Keye Street is the brilliant, brash heart of a sizzling thriller full of fear and temptation, judgments and secrets, infidelity and murder."



Love these...but my style is relaxed...oversized...I now have four of these...I literally wear them all summer...I need to find just one more...they are perfect for car trips or just shopping...comfy, cool especially with shorts underneath...this one is made by Tigerlily and it's from a shop called SurfStitch.




Love this...comfy and a throw on any time...these are all from Urban Outfitters!


Again...my style...boxy and comfy...


Yum...I have this one in black...this is the time of year I start thinking about Spring/Summer and fun travel and easy toss on pack able pieces...


That's it for me...back to my yummy book...it's again icy outside...Den is at the office today and the girls and I are staying in...I love a stay in day! Either toasted cheese and tomato soup for dinner or Den will bring home dinner...Mexican from Red Sombrero!


Happy Reading!

Ice Ice Baby!

We are slip sliding away...my across the way neighbor just posted that she literally saved herself from falling in her driveway only to slide down four steps and hurt herself!

We are staying..."in da house" today! I am making big fat turkey meatballs and pasta and sauce for dinner later...

Anyone watch the Grammies last night? Annie Lennox rocked the house but I loved Hozier, too. Madonna? Hmmm... Tony Bennett and Gaga? Tom Jones?






New books! Love love love NetGalley!


Nantucket!





"In this kaleidoscopic novel, a love-struck radio operator discovers a secret society offering mind-bending performance art in war zones around the world..."





Children's!





Atmospheric Thriller!




Mystery, murder, madness, mayhem!



Reading this...more mystery, murder, madness and mayhem!



Happy Monday!

Shake Shack Day!

We drove past once...it was so crowded...we said skip it...then we drove by again...found parking...got in the long lines of people and ordered a Shakeburger, French fries and a chocolate malt...oh my goodness! So good! This can't be done every week but every once in a while? Yes!

This is a man seriously dipping his French fries!





Reading this...it is really good...a stern...very stern Lutheran family and the daughter who needs to break away. Late 50's...southern Minnesota...strict upbringing...I am really enjoying this book!




Happy Saturday! I probably won't pop back in until Monday!

All By My Self!

Oh my! Den is at the office today and the girls and I are on our own...I have already dusted, tidied and spritzed everything...I should venture into the basement to work out but it's cold and I, admittedly, have been sort of lazy this week...sigh!

Tomorrow we are finally driving to KOP to pick up Den's hybrid jacket...it's been tailored and ready for a week but it's an effort to want to drive way far away to get it...especially with the weird weather we are enduring...snow predictions...then no snow...freezing temps...whew! You can unzipper that inside vest part...it looks so good on him.









Our reward is this...we are stopping here! The first Shake Shack was a little cart in NYC! In Madison Square Park! We had no clue there was one relatively close to us...hamburgers are hormone and antibiotic free...food is naturally sourced as much as possible...that's a good thing!









They even have a frozen custard calendar! But I just want vanilla!




Vanilla?




Or maybe chocolate...we will see!




Shake shack hamburger...



Shake Shack hot dog...


Reading this book...it's not the one I was going to start but I needed a book in the middle of the night...a weird noise awakened me...so I grabbed this...it's so good. It's told through the eyes of a recovering brutally attacked woman named Hanna...who can't believe that someone she loves might be involved...the story is told in flashbacks and memories and is suspense filled and chilling...has just enough sneaky untrustworthy really bad family members and neighbors to keep me turning my virtual Kindle pages rapidly! It is so good!




I am making pizza dough later...for a Friday night pizza!

Happy Reading!
