It’s been a busy week so far! I had no time to read on Sunday and Monday because I was driving all over the place (uber mom and daughter status lol). I did manage to read at the end of last week but this week, not so much yet. I’m hoping to finish What the Woods Took and then maybe some of the Kindle Unlimited titles I borrowed yesterday, Hate Mail and The Half King. We’ll see if I can get to them!
I got to eat lunch with my daughter at school on Wednesday because it’s National Lunch Week – and whew…the chaos of the cafeteria lol. It was nice to meet some of her classmates and see who was who. Other than that the week went by way too slowly I feel, even with our day off on Veteran’s day. I did get some Christmas gift wrapping done! Woohoo!
My hubby comes back in 3 weeks (hopefully, still needs to get his plane ticket) but we are excited! He does come back with some new furniture which means we have to get rid of things or move things around. But it’ll be nice to finally have him home.
Today I’m going to brunch with 2 friends I haven’t seen in awhile, so that will be nice!
And by the way WordPress gave me a notification congratulating me for 6 years on WordPress – WOW. 🤯. Thanks for sticking by me and reading my blog – I didn’t even realize 6 years has passed. I thought I was still on 4 or something like that lol.
Nobody Wants This (Netflix) – I can’t wait for season 2!
Emilia Pérez (Netflix) – it’s a musical and I really enjoyed it! Zoe Saldana is amazing in it.

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
Finally… reveal the book!

We are in mid-November and I’m in a slump but I don’t mind. I’m just trying to make it to the end of the year and it’s now the holidays so 🫠 here comes the rush! I’m definitely not in the holiday spirit yet – is it hot in your area still? Our weather feels like it’s shifting a little but it will get a tiny bit cold, some rain, then hot in the day – the ants who were bothering me this summer are still HERE. So annoying…anyway I hope you guys are experiencing some nice, cool, Fall weather!
My week started good because it was my birthday on Monday. I had a massage at the spa on Sunday and lunch afterwards with family. Then Tuesday hit (USA Election Day) and I experienced the 5 stages of grief in the span of a few days. It has sucked but I’m glad I’m not alone in my despair. I’m now in the mode of – to quote Taylor Swift “I think I’ve seen this film before…and I didn’t like the ending…”.

I had no energy to read this past week but I did finish some arcs! I think I’m in kind of a slump with Halloween, the USA election and the holidays coming up? I’m kind of mental tired right now!
What a week!!! 😅 It was spirit week of course at my daughter’s school so that was fun, plus she had early release schedule all week which she loved AND no school after Halloween. Lucky her! She had a Halloween parade at school which wasn’t as hot as usual (yes even at 8am) so I survived and got a kick out of so many kids wearing the inflatable costumes, it makes me laugh to see them walking in them! After the parade I dashed over the our local grocery and Hallelujah the candies were 75%! So I finally got chocolates.
Halloween evening my son and I wore the hats Mario and Luigi hats we bought at Universal Studious Japan. I was Mario, he was Luigi and I had a little cute Yoshi purse. Like an actual Yoshi plushie purse. My daughter was a Pikmin at her Halloween parade but that night she wanted to be a spider. So she wore a black dress and we put one of the smaller spider decorations on her dress.😅 We went around the block and down a few streets. I felt like our street which used to get all the trick or treaters, had less this year because a lot of my neighbors didn’t pass out candy or decorate which is kinda sad but totally understandable with candy being so expensive. But we also have a bunch of retirees on our street and maybe they just didn’t want to stay up passing out candy.
After we got home we sat outside for maybe 20 minutes passing out candy (we had left a bowl of candy for people to help themselves to when we were gone) but I was SO tired. It was a long day, I had a headache earlier, it was a little humid and so we left the 2 bowls of candy outside and I refilled it every 20 minutes. And then at 8:30pm I noticed one bowl was missing! Ugh – candy thieves! I mean take the candy but at least leave my bowl! 😆 It’s okay, it was a plastic bowl that was $5 I think, but geez…someone was hungry!
Overall, it was an exhausting week and I can’t believe October is over. I’m getting a massage at the spa today because tomorrow is my birthday and I so deserve it. My body hurt this past week so this is overdue! Then we are heading to my parents’ house for some lunch with the family.❤️
Coco on Disney+ I wanted something to watch with the kids for Halloween so we ended up watching this a few days before. It’s the perfect movie to watch for Halloween and it inspired us to do an ofrenda (altar) this year.
Martha on Netflix – this documentary is wild! Martha is stone-cold lol, loved it.

It’s parent conference week and Book Fair week at my daughter’s school so she’s loving it because she gets to shop for books and they get the short day schedule. Today is her conference so I’m excited to hear how she’s been doing in 2nd grade so far. And then tomorrow is Halloween! It’s been overcast and windy and I hope it stays that way for Halloween night – I don’t want to sweat like I usually do while trick or treating. 😅 I did wish I had some spooky reads to read but I don’t know what’s good and usually my spooky/thriller reads that are arcs are published in Spring! Oh well, hoping I can finish Stranger Skies and The Whispering Night since one is witchy and the other is paranormal.
