Life of a Renaissance Gal
Watching… The Little Things. If you like your movies wrapped up in a bow, then this is not the movie for you. It’s one of those movies that when it ends you aren’t really sure what you just watched. It was so creepy that I had to watch a couple of episodes of The Middle…
Watching… The Last Dance. I’m three episodes into this documentary about Michael Jordan. I was a HUGE Bulls fan in the 90’s and am loving this – more than I expected. It’s been a fun walk down memory lane. I don’t know if I was aware of some of went on with the Championship team…
Watching… Bosch. I binge-watched Season 6 over the weekend and it did not disappoint. It starts out with a terrorist plot that thankfully was not the main storyline of the season. I think that might have been a little too dark for me at the moment. It was a good season. I love that Maddie…
Reading… More Than Enough: How One Family Cultivated A More Abundant Life Through A Year Of Practical Minimalism. I’ve been feeling called to and working up towards doing a (clothes) shopping ban for a while. This book has been the most inspiring thing I’ve read towards that end. The author’s philosophy is that “enough is…
Watching… The Durrells in Corfu. This show checks several boxes for me: it’s set in an exotic location, is British, and is generally a fun light-hearted show. I was thrilled to discover that the entire fourth season is available on PBS Passport so I can binge watch it before it finishes airing on tv. I’m…
I did not intend to take off last week. I’ve been stressed trying to finish my kitchen and prepare for the 80th birthday party I’m hosting on Saturday. I hope the kitchen is finished by then! Reading… The Flatshare. The reviews for this book are glowing, so my expectations were pretty high. It was okay…
I love leopard print; it is a frequently occurring component of my style. Apparently, this butterfly likes it too. Butterflies landing on me seems to be a common thing in August. See Exhibit A & Exhibit B.
Reading… Don’t Go There. I love a good travel memoir, so I was excited when my book club decided to read this one. I’m about three quarters through it and was surprised to see that I’ve been to two of the places he writes about: Istanbul and Jerusalem. While we did see some protestors in…
Reading… The Girl He Used to Know. This book was a bit more in the romance category than what I usually read. But it was an unconventional romance between a woman on the spectrum and a man she met in college. Their college romance ended but they rekindle things when they run across each other…
Reading… Where the Crawdads Sing. It took me a little while to get into this book but when I did, I couldn’t put it down. It’s the story of Kya, a girl (around 6 years old at the time the story commences) whose entire family, one by one, abandons her, leaving her to fend for…
