February 2023 in Books

Something crazy happened this month. I listened to my first (new) audiobook. I’ve listened to Harry Potter in audiobook form, but it was more of a background music/comfort thing. When I got my current job (over 8 years ago), I knew I would be driving a lot so I tried out an audiobook. I immediatelyContinue reading “February 2023 in Books”

January 2023 in Books

Boy, I really hope that January 2023 doesn’t set a precedence for how the rest of 2023 will be. Sure, I was in Mexico for week one [fantastic, got a great tan] but a week after getting back, my husband got the flu! Thankfully, I didn’t get his full blown sickness – it felt moreContinue reading “January 2023 in Books”

December 2022 in Books

Why do I always think that December is going to be chill? Most of my December weekends were fully booked by mid-November. Not to mention that at work, this is the busiest time to of the year. But here I was, at the end of November, going “Man, I can’t wait to chill in December.”Continue reading “December 2022 in Books”

Friday Favorites: Shows I’ve Already Binged in 2021

2021 is only 2 months deep and I can already claim 4 television shows that I’ve binged. When you can’t really go anywhere or hang out with anyone, what else are you going to do? Thankfully, 2 of these shows only have 1 season so far (both picked up for season) that’s fully out. OneContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Shows I’ve Already Binged in 2021”

Friday Favorites: Book Biographies

I know that the following information will be a complete and utter shock to you. You’ll wonder, “Do I even know Lauren? Who is this person? How did I not know this about her?” I assure you that it’s a frequent conversation that I have with myself. I love reading. I know. Crazy world we’reContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Book Biographies”

Friday Favorites: Cookbooks

She’s back! All our holidays landed on a Friday and I just got lost in Holiday commotion. With everything kind of settling down a bit, I wanted to get back into my Friday Favorites routine. As you all know, I love cooking. I am not a “let me look at what we have in theContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Cookbooks”

Friday Favorites: Happy Winter Solstice!

Out with the Fall, in with the… Winter? Listen, it’s been a really long month. This entire week was met with, “It’s still Monday?” “It’s ONLY Tuesday?” “How is it only Wednesday?” “IT’S STILL THURSDAY?!” so I know that I will welcome Friday with open arms. My mom actually reminded me that it’s the WinterContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Happy Winter Solstice!”

Friday Favorites: Christmas Albums

I used to work in retail. During that time, I would rather impale myself on a rusty pipe [but remember that time I almost did that on accident?] than listen to Christmas music voluntarily. I also worked at a location where the Store Manager would only allow us to listen to The Chipmunks Christmas AlbumsContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Christmas Albums”
