First of all, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday (if you celebrated) and spent lots of time with family and friends. I will admit I've been kind of scarce this week but am trying to catch up on visits and comments so don't worry - they're coming!
Cass had a wonderful birthday, which reminds me I need to get his pictures posted. Look for them next week. Our anniversary was super nice and I got some lovely roses, among other things. The picture of Booker T for Mr. Barb was an absolute hit as well. Of course we never doubted that did we?
Gpa came up and ate Thanksgiving Dinner with us and then he came down with a cold the following day so I ran and got him some much needed meds. Stupid Uncle is in off the barge but to be honest, he's about as useful here and he is when he's gone. Mr. Barb and I have enjoyed our time off and Cass definitely enjoyed having people around all day. I did some reading but also managed to watch a lot of shows. We are now current on Castle Rock (the verdict is still out on this one). We also watched Sweetheart which is a horror movie about a woman who washes up on a deserted island and ends up battling a monster which reminds me of an upgraded Creature from the Black Lagoon. We watched IT Part 2 which I know has mixed reviews but which I found terrifying. We watched a few other things as well. Yep, we played couch potatoes pretty well.
I hope to get some books finished before the vacation is officially over. Here's what I'd love to wrap up this weekend.
I hauled a few books but to be honest, just want to wrap this up so I can get it posted. Look for some exciting books next week!
I'll be buying IT part 2 when it comes out here in January and then I plan to binge watch both parts together! I'm so looking forward to that! I'm in couch potato mode too and on a cold day like this, I'm glad not to venture outside!
ReplyDeleteI always forget you have different release dates. We own both so someday when I'm home sick I can do a marathon anytime I chose. It's rainy and dreary here today too but I had to go to work.
DeleteI've been getting a lot of reading in this weekend too, it's been heaven having four days off work! Hope the rest of your weekend is just as nice. Now the December craziness starts so I'm enjoying this really lazy weekend🤪
ReplyDeleteYes, December is going to be super crazy since Thanksgiving was so late!
DeleteI'm trying to get caught up on all my commenting and email checking after the holiday. It's crazy how quickly I can get behind!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to do once you fall behind!
DeleteHappy to hear your Thanksgiving was semi-uneventful. Sometimes that's all we can hope for. I hope your grandfather is feeling better. It's wonderful he has you to look after him. 👍✨
ReplyDeleteI be looking out for those Cass photos, and happy anniversary again! 💐!
Have a wonderful new week! 🌞
Gpa is doing better. Cass will have some pics next weekend I am sure. I am always grateful for low-key holidays!
DeleteGlad to hear you had a lovely time off and a happy anniversary!
ReplyDeletePlaying couch potato doesn't seem like a bad thing over Thanksgiving... We don't have Thanksgiving here but I imagine it's a bit like our Boxing Day (day after Christmas).
They do sound like a lot alike. Thanks for the anniversary wishes!
DeleteHappy anniversary! I hope gpa is feeling better now. I loved IT Chapter 2.
ReplyDeleteI did too. I've seen so many people not liking it and to each his own I guess.
DeleteIt sounds like you've have some great times. I worked all week and now looking forward to a day off so I can be a couch potato. LOL Plus do some decorating for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteI need to start my decorating. Such a process.
DeleteI'm glad you had a great week of celebrations: the birthday, the anniversary and Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful week and read some good books!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart Here is my Sunday Post
Yes, it was a nice week all around!
DeleteHappy anniversary, and glad you had some good time off! I wasn't sure what I thought of castle Rock eithr!!
ReplyDeleteWell, there's 2 more episodes left and just like last year, I feel more confused as the series progresses. I feel like they've thrown too much together. I mean we have some Pennywise references, Shawshank, Misery and Salem's Lot. Wonder if they'll try a season 3?
DeletePlaying couch potato sounds perfect. I also watched IT part 2 - it was definitely scary, maybe even a little bit overloaded with not enough chance to breathe in between.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your book haul.
Lynn :D
Now that you mention it, I can see where it is a tad overloaded. Good think I like that kind of thing.
DeleteBark If It's Murder looks really cute. I would love my dog to be my partner in a murder mystery, haha. Happy December!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I imagine Cass might be a tad bit more like Scooby though. Trying to be brave but a little nervous.
DeleteI'm glad to hear you had a nice holiday and lovely anniversary!! <3 Wishing you all a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica!
DeleteI am glad that you have enjoyed your time off. Our dogs always seem happy when their humans stay home with them too :) I am glad you got to spend Thanksgiving with Grandpa but sorry that he got sick again. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, Cass will hate it when we both go back to work.
