Life of a Renaissance Gal
I did not intend to take such a big break from the blog. The last few weeks got away from me – I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep (mostly due to Charlotte’s storm anxiety and the neverending thunderstorms). In addition to that, there have been some changes at the law office and things…
Watching… Last Tango in Halifax. I’ve been trying to make the most of my Netflix subscription. It had been a while since I started a new British show. After a Netflix recommendation, I landed on this one. It’s a story of two people in their 70’s who rekindle a romance they had as teens. I…
Louvre Museum. The Grande Galerie abandoned during World War II via History in Pictures This has been a long week. I’ve been under the weather, we’ve had bad weather, and I’m feeling a little overwhelmed at the law office. It doesn’t help that I haven’t had a lot of sleep either. Hopefully, this weekend will…
Did you have a nice weekend? I think mine was the perfect combination of relaxation and productivity. I updated some blog posts and am working on some things to hopefully get going on blogging more often than I have been. I also did some work on a pattern I’ve been working on and plan to…
Brünnhilde via Library of Congress Excited to dive into this. What would you do with a million dollars? I love this guy. Looking at these tiny worlds is very satisfying. On my travel bucket list. I love a good travel hack. I like to think this would be Charlotte if we had a pool. I’m…
Watching… Dead to Me. I binge watched this over the weekend and I loved it! It’s a dark dramedy with lots of twists and turns. It ends with a pretty big cliffhanger so I hope that there’s a season two. I don’t want to give too much away. I’m not even sure what to compare…
I’m really excited to learn that my favorite credit card has added more high return cashback categories. I think I’ll use it to get Netflix to watch this. This whale saved the day. As someone that no longer eats toast, I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this. This could definitely surprise some people….
Reading… This Will Never Happen Again. I learned about David Cain’s blog Raptitude when someone linked to his Depth Year post. I love his writing; he always seems to put into words thoughts that I completely agree with but never could have voiced so eloquently. His work is best read in small spurts and then…
Disneyland during construction via History in Pictures Do you have big weekend plans? It’s been a long week around here, I’m looking forward to some R&R. I really enjoyed this interview. Pinning all of Mandy’s plant tutorials for future reference. Some cute planters for those plants. Some new additions to my summer reading list. I…
Reading… The Silent Sister. I’ve been flying through this book. I read Diane Chamberlain’s Necessary Lies several years ago and loved it. I’m not sure why it took me so long to read another one of her books. Like Necessary Lies, this one revolves around a mystery, but it’s different than most mysteries. While there…
