Whatnot – 09/28/22

7 Comments

Cormac McCarthy books.Hello, friends. How are you? I am totally getting into the idea of Autumn even though it’s still over 100 here. This past weekend I went looking for the perfect fall candle but did not find it. All the candles this year smell very artificial. What is your favorite candle brand? Mine is Capri Blue but I burn through them pretty fast and they are pricey.

I’ve received many buzzy books lately. Those two above are the newest from Cormac McCarthy. It’s hard to get through so many buzzy books when you also want to linger in them for a really long time. Today I brought my Kindle to work so I can put a dent in some of my review reading. If alone, I can read quite a bit over lunch.

Are you a Hocus Pocus fan? When I first saw  it years ago I didn’t get the hype. But now, I am totally into it and it really feels like fall when I watch it. I believe Hocus Pocus 2 is out this weekend so I must plan a re-watch before then. I think it’s sweet that all the main actors returned for it.

I am headed into fall fully boosted with the new vaccine and tacked on my flu shot for good measure. I do not need the creeping crud of any variety, especially since we will be traveling before Thanksgiving.

Tonight, after work, I am going to sit down and plan an event that I’ve been thinking about. These days, if I am not very intentional with my planning then it doesn’t happen.

That’s really all I have. If I can get a review written I will schedule it for later this week. Take care!

Fall Tracking – Week 7

8 Comments

Good morning!! How are you all doing? It’s Thanksgiving week and I have the week off, plus Monday and Tuesday so I am feeling pretty darn good. I’ve been cleaning the house and tossing stuff out. I am trying to get rid of some of the clutter that has accumulated over the months. Being home is fine and all that but one does collect things even though I am not really buying much of anything. How does that happen?

Today, I might make the cornbread for my favorite dressing recipe courtesy of Tyler Florence, Caramelized Onion Cornbread Stuffing. It’s filled with sage and smells so good when it’s done.

As you can see from the photo at the top of the page, the trees are actually changing color. My husband and I were driving around town and noticed quite a bit of color actually. This almost never happens in Southern California. It’s so beautiful.

Well, I am on a quest to find my next book to read. It might be Parable of the Sower. Check out this summary:

When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others’ emotions. – Indiebound

Uh, what do you think? Freaky, huh?

Tomorrow, I hope to have my review of The Weekend posted and then I will spend the rest of the day cooking. My son is coming for the meal but not sure how long he can stay. He has some school work to complete and he starts his new job on Saturday. We will make the best of it and do so in a safe, responsible way.

Have a great week.
