HAPPY BIRTHDAY-ANNIVERSARY-THANKSGIVING!!!!
So, you can probably guess it was a super busy week. Good think I was off on stay-cation and don't return until next Wednesday. Now that all the holidays/events have been hit, perhaps we can relax a tad. The 22nd was Cass' birthday. He got toys, snacks and a small piece of ice cream cake. I can't believe my baby turned 4! Our Anniversary also happened to fall on Thanksgiving this year so on Monday, as a gift to each other, we had a new fridge and stove delivered. Do you know when you buy a stove you don't get the cord with it and it has to be purchased separately? CRAZY. Then on Thursday Mr. Barb smoked the turkey and Mom came for dinner. We are actually having a nice quiet dinner home tonight which Mr. Barb is working on right now to celebrate.
We've been busy watching The Punisher on Netflix and finally finished it last night. I have disliked the actor ever since he played Shane on The Walking Dead but since watching this, I realized how good he is and now that I can associate him with a better character, I think I actually like him. We've only watched 3 episodes of Longmire so we'll probably watch it in between football this weekend and then start on Frontier Season 2.
I have managed to finish 2 books and look for my review soon of the latest Sin du Jour book. I've just started chapter 3 of Truants so I hope to finish it and then start the Mira Grant books this weekend.
Here is a picture of Cass in his favorite sleeping position - upside down. Also, here are the lovely flowers Mr. Barb had delivered Wednesday afternoon. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a super weekend. Stay safe if you are Black Friday shopping!
You have had quite the busy week! Cass and I share a birthday! Happy Birthday, Cass :) Happy Anniversary to you and Mr. Barb! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving :)
ReplyDeleteHow awesome that you and Cass share the same day. Hope you were as spoiled on your birthday as he was!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving and Anniversary, and best birthday wishes to Cass! I look forward to your thoughts on the Mira Grant books. I just finished Into the Drowning Deep and didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would because I couldn't stand the characters, and also I'm probably just being too picky with the science.

Uh oh. If you don't like the characters, it can make for a miserable read. Since I'm not that knowledgeable about science, that part won't bother me.
DeleteI hated Shane on the Walking Dead! The actor did a great job of that! What a cute pic of Cass! Tell him Happy Birthday from Auntie Chuckles!
ReplyDeleteYep, he made hating him so easy. He was actually a small part in the movie we watched last night - Wind River. I found myself cheering him on in that one.
DeleteHappy Anniversary!!! I am so jealous of your new appliances!!! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWe had our old ones for almost 20 years and I was almost afraid our fridge would die on us at any minute and leave us scrambling.
DeleteHappy Anniversary! I'm so curious to hear your thoughts on The Truants. It was a tough book to read, for me anyway. You're so lucky your staycation isn't over yet!
ReplyDeleteI'm finding Truants a hard read too. It's interesting enough but I hate all the characters and it's just rough - not that I'm offended by language and stuff by any means, but the book itself is just rough.
DeleteI didn't watch Punisher but dad did and he wasn't liking it to well up till he finally started wearing his punisher shirt...lol. Dad kept saying he has a hoodie on where is the skull...lol. I haven't been a huge fan of the netflix comics. I need to start Longmire this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI put Into the Drowning Deep on my library wishlist as I haven't tried this author and this sounds like of interesting even if it has a sci-fi element according to goodreads. :)
Happy reading!
Stormi
I don't think he had the skull on his shirt until the last 2 episodes or so so your dad had a long wait. I hope we both like Into the Drowning Deep.
DeleteHappy birthday Cass, Happy anniversary to you! Sounds like you had a busy and good week. I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!
DeleteHappy Birthday to Cass, and Happy Anniversary to you guys! I finished The Punisher the other night, and I really enjoyed it. It's time for a new stove for us too. We got a fridge earlier this year, and I really like it, hopefully sometime next year, I'll be getting a new stove. We could buddy read the new King novel, that'll be cool! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteAppliances are such a big commitment. We saved a year so we could just buy them straight out. I've heard mixed things about the new King, but I know I'll want to read it and decide for myself.
DeleteGlad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

This time of year is always busy for us.
DeleteWoah, your vacation doesn't end until Wednesday??? That is awesome! Staycations are awesome. I only had the two days off but even just the two were so well-used. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Barb. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I had some vacation time to use. I have another planned for Christmas so I can't wait for it either. Glad you were able to enjoy your days off too.
DeleteIce cream cake!!! Want want want. Haven't had read ice cream cake in ages. And Cass is adorable :) have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWe hadn't either. It was pretty good. Since we got a new fridge, we actually had freezer space for one.
DeleteWhat a fun week! I haven't watched The Punisher, and haven't watched Walking Dead...so I had to Google to see the actor. And he is unfamiliar to me...LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love the actor who plays Walt Longmire, though. A real strong and silent type, but a good guy.
Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
I really like the guy who plays Longmire too. I have six more episodes to watch. I wonder if he and Vic will end up together?
DeleteSeriously? When you buy a stove it doesn't come with the cord? That's crazy, but good to know.
ReplyDeleteI've been hesitant to even think about watching The Punisher because I HATED Shane so hard on TWD, but maybe I'll give it a try now.
Hope you have a wonderful week. - Katie
Yea, but it just so happened they had one on the delivery truck we could buy - go figure. Yes, I know I cheered when Shane finally died. I actually like the actor now. Funny how different roles can change our opinions huh?
DeleteI need to watch the latest and final season of Longmire. I love that show. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI'm at episode 5 but it is a really good series so far!
DeleteOh I just finished The Punisher yesterday too and enjoyed it though I did dislike his Shane character on TWD. Sounds like you had a busy week but cheers for being off. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy week! We have something similar at Easter, with three birthdays in a week and I always feel like my head is going to spin off!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy the Mira Grant books! I can't wait to get my hands on the new one.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Cass and happy belated anniversary to you and Mr. Barb! Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving!
