Weekly Wrap Up | 2/18/24

Aloha friends!

What a week. I got a massage on Super Bowl Sunday which was nice, and then I watched the game at home. It was a long game and the first half was boring, unless you like a defensive game. But it was a nail biting finish! Anyway, next day I took my kids to the beach because my daughter has been itching to go and they got a day off from school which was nice.

We got there at 8am because I wanted to get parking. But 8am means the water is still cold – I mean Hawaii mornings are kind of like 72 degrees and then it warms up to the 80’s right now. My kids went into the water and I was like…nope…it’s too cold! 😅 It was such a nice morning without anyone there and we needed this beach morning for real.

Then there was Valentine’s Day – my hubby got his gift in time, and he said he found these amazing chocolates for the kids but he couldn’t send it in time for Vday. But it’s coming! And he got my an amazon gift card so I can buy books. YAY! I did get my kids some goodies and they loved it and felt loved and that’s all that matters!

I’m looking forward to this holiday weekend because my kids get 2 days off which means they get a 4 day weekend. I can’t believe we are almost in March.

Have a good week!

WWW Wednesday | 2/14/24

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Sam over on Taking on a World of Words.

The idea is pretty simple, every week you dedicate a post to the three W’s:

What are you currently reading?

What have you just finished reading?

What are you going to read next?

Happy Valentine’s Friends! I hope you have a nice Valentine’s day with your loved ones or if by yourself hey treat yourself! Self-love is love too! I’m spending it going to my kids lunch time for a Honey Bunch Lunch. Just going to drop in real quick to show them some love because it gets chaotic in their cafeteria lol…

Is it it crazy we are in mid-January? I felt like this weekend was so busy because there was Chinese New Year events at my kids’ school, then all their activities all weekend (tap, piano, Sunday school), then the Super Bowl. Also they had the day off after the super bowl and my daughter was begging to go to the beach so I took them! I am kind of exhausted? lol…and then was running around yesterday trying to get their V-day gifts ready.😅 I’m looking forward to this holiday weekend!

Weekly Wrap Up | 2/11/24

Aloha friends!

I had to take a break after finishing HoFaS since that was such a big book. The break was nice! Now I’ve reset myself and am ready to tackle the last 2 February arcs I have and the ones I have for March. There are a few new releases I also want to read but I’m trying not to spend money. I’m wondering if I have the patient to wait for it at the library. 😆 We shall see!

Today is the Super Bowl and I’m not really rooting for either team. I’m just there for the entertainment of it all and seeing Usher perform will be fun too. May the best team win!

Have a good week!
