Whatnot – 10/26/22

Chloe smiling.It finally feels like fall!! It was a crisp 48 degrees when I got in the car this morning. It’s been a little windy though which is never good when everything is so dry. The Pup and I have not been able to take our walks due to my knee injuries but they are improving every day so maybe a short walk would be okay this weekend. This is how she looks when she is trying to guilt me into taking her.

Guys, my reading has been going well!!! I need to review My Name is Lucy Barton, One of the Girls, and The IT Girl.  I can hopefully get those written up this week.

Can you believe that Halloween is on Monday? We bought our candy early and if we run out, we run out. The cost of candy is what is was last year, about $18 a bag. We got four which is two less than normal and I think this year will be epic with everything feeling very normal again but whatever we have, will have to be enough or we will shut it all down and eat chili. LOL.

Weekend plans. I think we might have breakfast in Old Town Pasadena and then head to my favorite bookstore on Saturday. If that happens, I need to make a list of books that I want to buy because I always go blank once I enter a bookstore. And, I have been known to buy a book twice. I haven’t read a classic in a really long time. Maybe I’ll pick up a classic.

Our trip to Missouri is coming up in a few weeks. We are excited about that. It’s confusing how they assigned understudies though. My daughter is a lead but she is the understudy for the other lead. I hope we can see her in her actual role. I’m trying to get her to get a booster and flu shot before then but it’s very hard to get adult children to take care of that stuff.

That’s all I have. I hope you are all doing well!

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!
