Week-in-Review--December 4, 2017

This last week was plagued with cold sores and injuries! Poor G has some serious mouth ulcers--he's prone to them and he got injured Thursday and had miss have the day. We got some lunch and a little breakfast on Sunday. We also made some plans for snowflake making and gingerbread houses this week that we're both looking forward to.

Books Finished:

None! It's been a rough week but I'm almost done with Sherman Alexie's memoir. I should finish off Krampusnacht as well.

Currently Reading:

Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone by J.K. Rowling (reading with G), From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty, Krampusnacht: Twelve Nights of Krampus by Kate Wolfold, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte, and Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology by Leah Remini.

I'm really enjoying Wildfell Hall. I watched the BBC version a few years ago and fell in love and knew I wanted to get to the book. It does not disappoint. Anne Bronte wrote about a very taboo subject for her time, even for our time. Bravo.

Listening To:

You Don't Have to Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie. The Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan. I could listen to him for hours.

Watching:

Six Feet Under by HBO. This is good. They offer up so many thoughts and ideas about death and how we as a society handle them...sometimes great and most of the time not so great.

I also finished up the third and final season of Broadchurch this weekend. Talk about a binge-watch! Whew. Really well done season on rape and its effects.

Making:

Paper snowflakes, gingerbread houses! Cornbread! Maybe a peppermint chocolate cocktail for movie night this week! Holiday cards are sent, calendars are ordered!

Looking forward to:

G's cooking class was canceled last weekend but it's in two weeks so hopefully that doesn't fall through. We didn't see Coco but we are looking forward to making some fun winter themed goodies this week and cookies on the weekend to give to neighbors and friends.

Pics from the week:

G made a fun crown out of his magformers!

Nala is not amused

G chose his ornament...he loves his kitties

Tried to spice up my Facebook profile pic for the holidays! I threw on some snowflakes for full effect!

G celebrated his friend's bday Saturday with unicorn cake!
