Weekly Wrap Up | 5/2/22

Aloha friends!

It’s May! Can you believe it? I can’t.

I have many friends and family birthdays to celebrate in May, plus my first trip in 10 years! I’m definitely counting down to that. I didn’t get much reading done this week. I feel like I’m in a slump and I’m not sure what I’m in the mood to read. Hopefully I can just chill this week and resume reading tomorrow. I do have some arcs I need to finish up for June. Anyway this is what I did this past week ~

Aloha friends!

Finally, I had a week to relax! I can’t say I read a lot because I was just too tired at night. But I’m glad I got some downtime after such a busy weekend last week. Now just trying to figure out what I need to get for our trip to the East Coast in 6 weeks. Can you believe we are in the last week of April?

How was your week? Hope all of you are staying safe! Have a fabulous week!

Aloha friends!

What a weekend.

Started off last week Sunday with a Passover Seder meal for the kids at the Jewish Temple they attend for Sunday School. Our official Passover Seder meal took place on Friday – I went minimal with the preparation this year because our Easter Sunday Egg Hunt was taking up the bulk of my preparation. Saturday the kids and I cleaned up the house, hubby’s back was out again so he couldn’t really help, I was exhausted. Sunday was our Egg Hunt party and it was so nice spending it with family again! My daughter had fun with her girl cousins, they are around the same age (3-5). The boys are older ages 9-16 so they were more in their own worlds (on their phones 🙄 lol). Once upon a time years ago it was those group of boys running all over my yard in the Egg Hunt 🥲 – now they are too cool for it or whatever lol.

But honestly, 2 years of not hosting parties at my house and without full caffeine now…I was so tired last night and crashed at 8pm. 😳 My body aches today and I woke up with a headache (I was dehydrated from running around all day yesterday) – had to drink a lot of water this morning to get my headache to go away. But today is a school day, so it’s back to the grind for me son. But this means there is only 6 more weeks of school for him and then my first vacation in 10 years!! And our first real family trip after that to the East Coast. Wow…so many things happening. I hope all of you had a Happy Passover, and Happy Easter if you celebrate.

How was your week? Hope all of you are staying safe! Have a fabulous week!

Well it seems I’m going to be throwing an Easter Egg hunt next week – so I was busy this weekend trying to plan it. 😅 Do you have any plans for Easter? I also have Passover Seder events to do today for my kids and of course on the official Passover day which is on Friday. So it’s a very busy week! It kinda scares me because this means we are mid-April and my two trips are coming up at the end of May and beginning of June. I hope I can handle all of the events coming up this year!

How was your week? Hope all of you are staying safe! Have a fabulous week!

So this week was a chill week and I managed to read a few books! Also I was obsessing over Anthony and Kate from Bridgerton Season 2 because I just love the two of them. Then what happened with Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars took over my twitter feed…that was wild! Then for some reason, I saw that Miley Cyrus released a Live album and I love live music so much and since Wrecking Ball was in Anthony/Kate’s last episode of Season 2 I thought it was just the universe speaking to me LOL 😅. Decided to listen to the album on Friday and well, I’m obsessed. Love how she has that grit in her voice and she can rock out. That was my week, nothing exciting, except reading some books.

How was your week? Hope all of you are staying safe! Have a fabulous week!

Music I Listened To:

Miley Cyrus – Attention (live album) – I love her voice, that grit and power. I wasn’t into her Hannah Montana days except for the song The Climb. And then she went pop and I loved Party in the USA lol…but wow has she really transformed and keeps reinventing herself. I’m here for it. I love how she rocks out.

Aloha friends!

This week went by quick! It did start off with a bad headache but that was due to some sinus/allergies/weather issues plus a crick in my neck from reading. Do you guys ever get that? I always get a sore neck and shoulders if I read too much. My son just got Kirby and the Forgotten Land on the Nintendo Switch and he has been recording his gameplay for his youtube video – and I spent the weekend, editing and uploading them to his channel. So I was trying to schedule blog posts and video posts 😅. It’s been a little exhausting – plus….I binged Bridgerton Season 2 on Netflix and I swear that wasn’t my plan but I just wanted to see the happily ever after but that meant I lost sleep and regretted it the next day LOL.

How was your week? Hope all of you are staying safe! Have a fabulous week!

Shows/Movies I’ve Watched:

Good Girls (Season 4 on Netflix) – I finished the whole thing and WHY is there no season 5?! I can’t stand when studios don’t finish off a series…I need closure.
Bridgerton (Season 2 on Netflix) – I wasn’t gonna binge it and what did I do?! I binged it. I regretted it Saturday morning when I only had barely 3 hours of sleep. 😅 But man…I just loved Anthony and Kate antagonizing one another. 😍 And I love Eloise so much, Benedict too (his smiles!). Whoa to Penelope’s villain era and I miss Simon. Now though I loved the slow burn and Anthony’s agony (ugh his need for control broke my heart but I understood him so well…)….I think it had too much of the Featheringtons. I wish there were less of them and more of Kate and Anthony! Overall, I loved it as usual and it even made me cry – wish there were more historical romances like this on tv.

Well you think I would get a break but of course not…we had a toilet leak from an upstairs bathroom and thank god my dad works in construction and knew how to fix the leak. It got fixed…or so we thought and then it leaked again the next day. So we had to wait a few days before he could come out to look at it again. Finally on Saturday he fixed the leak but it involved buying a new toilet. It was tiring, toilets are heavy 😖 but I’m so grateful for my dad for helping us out! Honestly that leak took over my week and I was about to have my period too so it was an exhausted week. My son is on spring break right now so I hope I get a little bit of time to read this week.
