When your husband wants to watch Sinners for the 12th time, but you don't do scary movies, the noise cancelling headphones come out.
I'll just read Bones fanfic until I fall asleep.

My grandmother is about 70 here. Her hair only lightened in color & got streaked with grey. I was wanting more Rogue from X-Men.

Next, I will read The Good Earth for book club next Saturday!
I began it yesterday to sample, & I had to look up its publication date bc it was giving me major John Steinbeck vibes. 1931!
I love the writing already, and I haven't even gotten through the first thirty minutes of the book.

Spoonies, I really love the blue Neutragena hydro boost face wipes (not makeup remover wipes) for those days that my executive dysfunction wins out.
Did not like the pink grapefruit cleanser wipes.
I'm looking for a lower priced dupe!

We are making a recipe from an America's Test Kitchen cookbook called The Chicken Bible.
Pan-seared chicken breasts with artichoke and spinach. We went to HEB for the ingredients because we used to get our frozen artichoke quarters at Central Market, but we had to do jarred quarters today.

I can't get my wp63gw Kindle 7th gen to connect to Wi-Fi. I need a way to update the software I think. Going to try connecting to my laptop I guess! If anyone has a suggestion, I would love to hear!

Listening to The Cautious Traveller's Guide to The Wastelands by Sarah Brooks and having a difficult time keeping my attention on it until I realized it was taking too long.
I moved my listening speed from 1.5x to 1.75x and then finally 2x speed, and it's much better. #books #audiobooks

I have scheduled through the next 2 weeks a post every other day for the kids book club I've created.
Trying to drum up engagement in the fb group but also to give parents a jumping off point to introduce discussion questions to their kids as they read

I have the oven on so I can create a warmer environment for it to rise, but I've got to leave for physical therapy too soon to bake it. At the 1 hour mark, I'm going to cover in aluminum foil and put in the fridge for about 3 hours until I get home from PT

When we get home from the trampoline park, I will look into how to revive my starter. It smells like vinegar which I think is still good

Also offering up this delightful one piece that my husband hated but which I ADORED and wore to anything that needed to be FIERCE. It reminds me of my grandmother.
Idk maybe I should save it for Marebear. I love it so much.

Finally posting this dress in the Buy Nothing group I'm in. It's been almost 6 years
The NYE wedding was nice, but I've never worn the dress since, and I've lost 30lbs since then.

Was anyone else twelve years old being dressed the same as their two years younger sister? And in fact at this time she was nine? I started throwing fits not long after about having the exact same outfits. 🤣
