Well…this week was wonderful because it started with my daughter’s 4th birthday! I love her so much and she had a great time with our little luncheon ~ she didn’t want food, she just wanted family, cake and gifts, and that is what she got.
The week got even better when the Georgia election Tuesday night showed Georgia turning blue…thank you Stacey Abrams and all your amazing hard wook, teamwork…all of it. 👑 Then Wednesday morning I was watching the news to make the Georgia results official…and realized the electoral college votes were going to be certified…and they got to Arizona, and there were objections so they went to debate it…and then all hell broke loose outside and inside. I am appalled, mad at the hypocrisy, just disgusted…can they just remove him today (as I write this on Wednesday during the protest)? So I wasted a day watching the news…
Anyway enough of that negativity…sigh…how was my reading week?

Netflix:
- The Queen’s Gambit ~ finished the series and enjoyed it! It’s dark, sad, but love love love how it’s filmed, the aesthetic, her make-up, her hair, style…ugh, love. It was fascinating watching Beth Harmon’s life and how she grows from child to young woman. I love Jolene being real with Beth. ♥️ Compelling story for sure!
Adulting:
- We got a fish. Haha…my son did his 2nd quarter project on an axolotl and I saw our local pet store had one so I took them there to see it. And we came home with a fish – daughter wanted the axolotl and I said no, told her to get a betta fish instead since ours died last year. Our fur baby died 2 years ago and I was waiting until my daughter turns 5 to get another dog…so I’ve been looking since last year! The search continues…
- My son will start hybrid schooling come February and I’m happy for him. I wish they could roll out the vaccine quicker, teachers need them – my sister got hers because she works at the hospital. But yes, would be great to get that out quicker.
I hope your week went well and you are staying safe out there!

Wednesday night I went late to sleep because I couldn’t stop watching the news. I still can’t believe something like that happened.. happy birthday to your daughter 🙂
Same…the news is just disturbing and surreal! Thank you, my daughter has been spoiled with gifts from hanukkah, christmas and now her birthday. 😅
Politics just really bring out the worst in people…It’s hard to look away though because then I am stressed from not knowing. I’m basically just avoiding facebook and instagram stories because sometimes you just need a break from it. I hope you enjoy you reads!
The good news…we got a puppy yesterday! LOL, so that’s bringing lots of joy to the whole family, it’s been 2 years since our fur baby passed so we finally found one and that helps with all the stress – except Atlas (his name) is like a newborn baby so…I didn’t get much sleep last night! 😅
Haha yay for new pets! That’s such a fun thing but I hear you on them being like a baby! Luckily our dog isn’t in that stage anymore since he is almost 8 years old. It’s crazy how fast time goes with pets.
