Weekly Wrap Up | 12/27/21 – Past Midnight Book Reviews & More

Aloha friends!

Ok I had no weekly updated ready yesterday because I was just exhausted from Christmas! I had to do my last minute Christmas shopping and then make gingerbread houses with the kids on Christmas Eve. Christmas day they were so excited to open presents in the morning – then we went to my family’s house for Christmas lunch and more presents. Got a chance to take a quick nap before it was dinner and we headed to a light show event trolley ride to end the night. Sunday I decided to clean the house, so I could make space to add all the kids new clothes and toys. It was a great Christmas.

Unfortunately covid case counts here in Hawaii are blowing up quick – it sucks. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! Friday night is New Year’s Eve and Hawaii gets CRAZY…the whole island is lit up with illegal fireworks. There are some fireworks that are legal as long as you get a permit to light them…but for years since I’ve been a child growing up here, illegal fireworks always make their way into the island and at midnight it’s like a warzone…a very colorful one. They have been lighting fireworks here since Thanksgiving…which is annoying when it’s happening at night, or sometimes even in the early mornings. What are you doing for NYE? Any big plans?

Anyway that was my week – how was yours?

Blog Posts This Week:

Books I Read:

Currently Reading:

Shows/Movies I’ve Watched:

Grease – only the ending because that’s what was on but the songs are classic.
Emily in Paris: S2 – because I live vicariously through Emily, drama and all and it’s so bingeable. I love her best friend in Paris, Mindy. I need season 3 asap.
NFL (football, the American kind lol) – nothing like Sunday Football even if I don’t watch the whole thing and have it on as background noise. I was cleaning on Sunday and needed background noise.

Games I’ve Played:

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – barely had time to play but I did collect more gyroids.
Roblox: Pet Sim X – because a new update came out on Saturday so I’m grinding for coins to get my daughter new pets.

How was your week? Did you get a lot done? Watch anything good? Read any amazing books or books you didn’t finish? Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?…Leave me a comment below!
