Life of a Renaissance Gal
Watching… The Indian Doctor. I’ve been binging British TV. The Indian Doctor is not my favorite. The series has a “bad guy” for each season. Unless done well, I find the “bad guy” formula over-dramatic and annoying. I’m more intrigued by shades of gray than black and white. Reading… Educated. I’m about halfway into this…
I’m sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been working on some pattern designs and they’ve been pretty time consuming. Watching… Bosch. I flew through Season Four last weekend. This season was really good. I don’t want to give anything away. Something big happens this season that I suspect will be the focus of…
Reading… The Grace of Dogs. After hearing the author on a podcast, I was excited to check out this book. It explores our relationships with dogs. Do they really love us or just love that we feed them? Do they understand us when we talk to them? If dog books are a trigger for you,…
Reading… The Alice Network. This is the story of two women, Eve who worked as a spy during WWI & WWII. After WWII, Charlie (short for Charlotte), goes to Eve to get her help finding her cousin Rose who seems to have disappeared during the war. The book alternates between looking back at Eve’s life…
Watching… Community. I’ve really come to rely on funny TV shows to add to my happiness during this rather depressing time in the world. I was so sad when I discovered The Good Place wasn’t coming back until January and decided I needed to find something to watch while everything goes on winter break. I opted…
Hi there! I’m sorry that I was a no-show last week. Lunar the foster dog kind of depleted my energy/will to do anything. My first foster experience was not good. But I learned a few lessons for next time (if there is a next time). Thankfully things have returned to normal around here and I…
Reading… Reading People. I was excited when Anne Bogel announced she had written a book and it hasn’t disappointed. It’s about all things personality. I’m a little more than halfway through and have already learned about a few assessments with which I was not familiar. Watching… Kevin Probably Saves the World. With everything going on…
Reading… So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed. I think I heard about this on a podcast. It seems I hear about books, reserve them with the library, and then am surprised when they pop up on my virtual reading shelf. This has been a fascinating read about the shaming culture that has been building on the…
I’ve become kind of obsessed with my capsule wardrobe and keeping the clothes in my closet to a reasonable number. While I do have a bit of color in my wardrobe, a lot of my clothes are black. When the weather cools off, I will add some variety with scarves; colorful shoes are another great…
Yay! August Break was nice but I’m excited to be back to regular blogging. How was your weekend? I was sick most of the weekend. Not fun! It was a very lazy weekend. Thankfully, I’m feeling much better and ready to face the week ahead. Reading… Our Souls at Night. I think this is the only…
