Reading… Tell Me Three Things. I’ve been really tired after painting and have been opting to watch Downton instead of reading most nights. I have started this book and think I will enjoy it. I just need to get into it enough that I’ll choose it over Downton. Watching… Downton Abbey. In preparation for the…

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…

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…

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…

Reading… Transcription. I am slowly whittling my way through the backlog of library books on my Kindle. Hopefully I can make it through them in the next couple of weeks so I take it off airplane mode. I had trouble getting into Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life, but I’m really enjoying this book of espionage…

Reading… Company of One. I actually have several books going right now. I requested this book from the library after hearing the author, Paul Jarvis, on the Hurry Slowly PodcastHurry Slowly Podcast. It’s nice to read a book by someone with a similar business philosophy as mine, where growing the business isn’t the primary concern….

Did you watch the Oscars last night? I did not plan to, but then I remembered that I actually (kind of) know someone that was nominated and decided I would be really disappointed if he won and I missed it. Unfortunately, he did not win. Reading… The Line that Held Us. I finished this book…

Reading… The Ruin. I finished this book over the weekend. It’s written by an Irish writer and set in Ireland. I don’t think I’ve consumed enough Irish media to have mastered the Irish voice. For this reason, it took me awhile to get into this mystery. I found myself having a little trouble comprehending and…
Kauai in January
Spending a week on Kauai in January can go a long way towards curing the winter blues. In fact I loved it so much, I’m trying to figure out how to make it happen every January. January falls in the rainy season on the island; but generally, if it’s raining on one side of the…
