Weekly Wrap Up | 4/24/23

Aloha friends!

I was so tired on Saturday – my kids had ballet and piano and then another ballet fundraising event for my daughter – plus my parents were at my house. And the weather has been HOT so I was just super tired and forgot to even check my blog and write up my weekly wrap-up.

Anyway hope you all have a good week!

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?

What are you currently reading?

I’m listening to The Song of Achilles as an audiobook. My reading mood is still all over the place but I’m just going with it.

What have you just finished reading?

Mexican Gothic was an audiobook and I listened to it pretty quickly which is cool!

Weekly Wrap Up | 4/16/23

Aloha friends!

We got through the week! 😅 Barely. My daughter caught a stomach bug on Thursday, I got my period also (oh fun🙄😓) so I’ve been exhausted. But my weekends are never rest days – so I do look forward to Mondays because that’s my “weekend”. Our dog has his annual vet appointment tomorrow lol…ugh, it will be a challenge – he absolutely hates going to the vet.

I have to drag, coax, beg and bribe him to walk through the front door of the vet’s office. He won’t let anyone cut his nails – I tried every trick (my other dogs didn’t mind it at all). I even try to file them down but he tries to eat the file board EVERY TIME. The peanut butter lick mat trick only worked one time. He has a scratch board but it doesn’t file down all his nails and if he scratches at an angle it will sharpen them to points. My kids and I have the scars to prove it! So I file them flat – but it’s a struggle. So I’m asking the vet techs to try and trim his nails. Hopefully they succeed, I’d like him to have short nails when I leave him with the dog sitter in 6 weeks!

I cant believe our trip to Okinawa, Japan trip is in 6 weeks. That’s how fast the days have gone by.

Anyway, hope you have a good week!

I’m listening to another audiobook – who am I? lol….I’m listening to Something Wilder as an audiobook. I feel like I’m in a really weird reading mood. I’m reading every kind of book at the moment. 😅

Weekly Wrap Up | 4/9/23

Aloha friends!

Happy Passover and Happy Easter for those that celebrate! We celebrate both in our house but this year I am not doing an Easter Egg Hunt event because I’m tired lol…my kids will get mini egg hunts at their aunts place and at home. My daughter is gearing up to be in her first ballet recital, which has me stepping into the world of dance moms. And wow – I admire the time and dedication they put in. I know a few dance moms and how am I stressed with my daughter being in one dance for the recital? 😅 I guess I wouldn’t be as stressed if my husband was here to help but my daughter and I are excited about it. They are dancing to “I See the Light” from Tangled, which I adore! It made me want to tear up watching her rehearse in her costume.

Anyway my calendar is filled for April, May and June! Yikes.

So I just gotta get through this week. I hope you all have an amazing week!

Books I Read:

I had 2 DNF’s which feel like a record for me! lol…But The Last Tale of the Flower Bride was not for me. I love her other works but this one, not so much. And The Book Proposal was too all over the place for me and then there were 2 chapters I didn’t even think was finished? It felt rushed and unfinished and it was the actual dating and steamy scene between the characters. I was like…HUH?! It threw me off too much so I’m not going to review it. I have so many books to read and so little time that I think I’m doing better this year with DNF’ing books that aren’t working for me.

Shows/Movies I Watched:

The Super Mario Bros. (movie in the theater) – my kids and I LOVED this movie. The music is so good and everything was so nostalgic for me and my son is a gamer so he loved it all. It was my daughter’s first movie in a theater and she had fun with the reclining seats! Jack Black is amazing as Bowser. Watching the movie made me realize wow, I have spent a lot of time playing Mario games lol.

I got some books come in from Book Outlet (my last order was lost in the mail – boo!). I also got some online library books that became available to me so I’m trying to read those before my borrowing time is expired. Did you get any good books this week?

What are you currently reading?

Night of the Raven , Dawn of the Dove is an audiobook I’m listening to and I’m 63% done. I still have a hard time concentrating on details especially when my kids start making a ruckus while I’m listening lol. But at least I’m almost done with it!

What have you just finished reading?

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a DNF for me. I got to about 20% in and was just not in the mood! I don’t think I’ll pick it up again – it’s not for me.

Aloha friends!

It’s APRIL. What the….

My kids have only 8 more weeks of school, which means our trip to Okinawa is 8 1/2 weeks away. I got a dog/house sitter (yay!) and I’ve never had one who wasn’t family or a friend so I hope things go well with my dog and the sitter. We’ll be gone for 14 days. Today my kids Sunday school will having a Passover Seder for the kids so we’re doing that today. I don’t even have plans for Easter yet – why is there always too many things to do?

Anyway, I hope you all have a good week ahead!

Aloha friends!

Well here we are ladies and gents – the last week of March. How?! How are we near the Passover and Easter holidays? I feel like we are speeding towards my kids end of school and our Okinawa, Japan trip! This past week was getting back into the groove of my husband not being here again, and getting through the school week. The weather has been HOT here – it’s very humid. I did get some reading done which was nice.

Anyway I hope all of you have a good week ahead!

This week started off busy so I didn’t get to read much…or…I think I’m in a reading funk? Like, I’m not sure what I’m in the mood for. So I’m just trying to work through my arcs while I figure out this weird reading mood I’m in.
