Man what a hectic week. I've spent the last 2 nights making cookies and I'd say I never want to see them again but I've already lied because I just ate one for breakfast! I have to wrap presents tonight and I'm gonna be so worn out once Christmas hits. I'm really looking forward to 5:00pm Christmas Day - everything will be done, dinner will be over, guests will be on their way home (just Mom and Grandpa so no big deal) so I can just veg, read, eat snacks and have a refreshment or two. THEN I can enjoy the holidays!
We did squeeze in time to watch "IT" Tuesday night and I loved it! I thought the casting was great and Pennywise was terrifying. The old one still holds a special place in my heart but this was a great remake. Can't wait for the second part. We plan on watching the new Will Smith Netflix movie which comes out today sometime this weekend between holiday activities and football. Speaking of.....GO HERD!!!!
Marshall beat Colorado State Rams last Saturday! They had a huge lead and almost blew it but they didn't and I was thrilled. See, there are lots of colleges and universities in my state but Marshall and West Virginia University and the two major ones. WVU sports is in a different conferences but a lot of the fans are buttheads and act like there is not other team in the state. So thus, I'm always happy when Marshall wins a bowl game. See WVU tends to choke in bowl games. And despite the fact that Marshall currently has the longest winning streak in bowls of ALL teams, we still don't get the credit we deserve. I'm not aiming to offend WVU fans but on the whole, they really irk me (none in particular...well maybe one or two, but just in general). I mean come on, the university is known for burning couches when they win games.
So I haven't read much this week so the books on my stack are still the same. I am ALMOST done with "Two Girls Down" and it's an awesome thriller. I find thrillers hit or miss and this one is definitely a hit.
Hope everyone is having a safe holiday so far!
I've got shop bought chocolate chip cookies beside the computer! Also I can't wait to see It! I reckon I'll buy it as soon as it comes out and it's just a couple of weeks to wait...excited!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty pleased with It and the new Pennywise is truly terrifying. He gave me such creeps.
DeleteI am with you there on the Christmas cookies and treats. Between home and work and gifts, I just want something salty!!!! lol Enjoy Christmas this week!
ReplyDeleteI know. The past few days I've been craving REAL food.
DeletePhew, I'm with you on being ready to sit back and relax. I've had an absolutely insane week with work which forced me to make some really tough decisions... I hope you have a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't sound like you've had much fun at work. Hope you are getting a few days off.
DeleteIt sounds like you've been busy and also having fun. Have a Very Merry Christmas, Barb.
ReplyDeleteBusy but for the most part fun - good description.
DeleteYep, Christmas is almost here and I'm as ready as I'm gonna be at this point! I'm hoping to get a couple more books read before the year is out, crossing my fingers that my holiday schedule will cooperate! :D

My reading has sucked the past few weeks - there's no kinder way to put it!
DeleteI enjoyed It too. More than the first one I think.
ReplyDeleteoh wow look at you baking and all! Where do you find the time to be so productive Barb??? I know what you mean Im trying not to get to tired for Christmas either! BUT SO MUCH TO DO! Enjoy the holidays! SO well deserved!
By the time Friday rolled around, I was dragging. Now that Christmas is over (it's the 26th as I type this) I feel like I can finally enjoy the holiday season. Bring on the bowl games!
DeleteYep, the sad truth that women still bear the brunt of preparing for Christmas. I was actually surprised that my kids really got excited about shopping for others this year, maybe because they have a car and can get around on their own. (Although they're still spending my money, lol!)
ReplyDeleteMaybe eventually they will be spending their own money - then you can REALLY enjoy it!
DeleteYes, xmas cookies in morning :-) Happy reading and xmas!
ReplyDeleteAwesome huh?
DeleteI could take some of those cookies off your hands for you if you need me to. I was really busy this week as well. I guess that is normal for this time of year. I hope you have a fantastic Christmas, Barb!
ReplyDeleteWe still have too many left. We've been giving them away left and right.
DeleteChristmas cookies make a pretty good breakfast. :) And I'm also looking forward to everything being done on Christmas Day- then it's time to relax! I love Christmas but it does get hectic.
ReplyDeleteTwo Girls Down looks good, I've been in thriller mode for a while and am always looking for good ones.
I just finished Two Girls Down a few days ago and LOVED it. I definitely recommend it.
DeleteIt's now Christmas Eve and a time out sounds perfect right about now. The influx of people and family -- God I do love them -- is just alot. A cookie and a time out sounds wonderful. It! Do you think IT is okay for someone who doesn't like horror too much? I'm just curious I guess. I will say the original scared me off horror entirely lol
ReplyDeleteIT is pretty scary at times but honestly, I think the real story is how this group of outcast kids who call themselves THE LOSERS band together to protect each other and their town. That is the true story for me. But yes, you might find it pretty scary. Especially if you don't like clowns.
DeleteI hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I didn't get much reading and reviewing done over the holiday either. Playing catch up today.
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas. I'm so glad you got to see IT and loved it.
ReplyDeleteHope yall had a nice Christmas and you got a good long nap after all the festivities ended :)
