Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• I have some ideas for activities during this Sunday’s Galentine’s Day party, but now I need to narrow things down.

• My current read started out really strong and then kinda faltered about 65% of the way through. Kinda disappointed…

• At least my chosen television shows this week were all good.

• The last two days my body has been angry. Really hoping this doesn’t turn into a common occurrence.

• Looking forward to some good food and friends tonight at a dining for all event.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• We’re back from our three day trip to Great Wolf Lodge and I need a serious nap. Lots of fun with friends, but I am now exhausted.

• Speaking of friends, I’m meeting three other Stays on Sunday for dinner. Excited to chat with other Stray Kids fans over hot pot.

• Academic Co-op is currently in our second week of the semester. I think we are settling in nicely. Should be a good couple of weeks.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• In the middle of a giant note-taking app transition for planning homeschool lessons and it’s going slow and painfully. I may not recover…

• On a brighter note, been loving all the new SKZ content being dropped every single day.

• On the other hand, I cannot keep up with all the content.

• I might need time to stop for like a week so I can catch up…

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Super tired from all the activities, but we are sneaking in two more Vala’s visits before they closed this weekend.

• Speaking of spooky, I’ve decided that November will also be spooky book/movie month. I’ve still got some things I want to read and watch hanging around.

• Academic Co-op went really well today. I wasn’t as tired as I thought I would be!

• My meal planning is all over the place this month. I need to do a fridge cleanout and an eat from the freezer week. Maybe I will feel better after that.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• I’m so busy this week!!! Between activities, school, and prepping for the birthday party (and this pesky cough), I am toast.

• Getting excited for my tattoo appointment on Monday. And I have an idea of a second one for maybe November…

• Still trying to embrace the fall and all the flavors. I love all things fall.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Stormy weather has thankfully broken the high temps. I am much more comfortable now.

• I think my reading mojo is back. I have blown through multiple books this week, even while still reading fan fiction. I’m so excited! I might actually get to 230 books this year.

• All my dinner recipes have celebrated fall flavors. I cannot get enough of fall!

• I should really pull out my fall home decor. I pulled the bins, but did nothing with them last weekend.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Feeling better today, but yesterday was rough. No idea what I had, but I could hardly function.

• Entering into the last four weeks of Enrichment Co-op. And I’m still feeling a bit stressed about the lack of communication from some families.

• I should start working on my Academic Co-op lessons on Regional History. But first, we need to finalize which families are actually in.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Finally unboxing my Karma albums today with a fellow STAY. So excited to see what I get!

• Relatedly, my SKZOO editions are still in transit somewhere. Apparently, there were manufacturing issues so everyone’s packages are delayed.

• Looking forward to another pool afternoon at a friend’s house after homeschool co-op.

• Feeling the need to do a brain dump this weekend.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Wow! Fan fiction really has a hold on me this month. It has tanked by “official” read report, but I don’t care. I have found some great writers on AO3 and have started to follow them on other platforms.

• Related, I have started buying the previous Stray Kids physical albums. I just bought Oddinary, Ate, and Hop. I have Rock Star and Maxident coming. Debating on the rest. (I have already preordered two different versions of Karma. And 5 Star is coming with those preorders.)

• On the weather front, it is way way way too hot this week. I hate.

• Tonight we are heading to the Orpheum to see Penn and Teller. All five of us are going. Very excited!

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Thank goodness the weather has turned! It has been absolutely terrible for the last week. I feel so much better.

• I really need to put myself on a library ban. I really want to get to some of my Unread Shelf.

• Craving gazpacho this week for lunch.

• Fan Fiction has really interrupted my regular reading, but I have loved it so much.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• How can we have so much food in this house and yet I have no idea what to make for dinner?

• Looking forward to my fall plans for homeschool and our social group. So many great ideas on tap these next few months.

• Multiple pool days this week are great but also tiring.

• I’m still reading, but will admit that I’ve been reading a ton of fan fiction instead of traditionally published books. I’m okay with that; I’ve found so many good ones. But it does mess with my reading wrap numbers.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• I’m way too hot and sticky this week… Thank goodness for pool days.

• I started an actual novel and I’m really into it. My reading may actually be getting back to normal.

• Loving my new(er) jean shorts. I actually like jean shorts again?

• Started a new-to-me K-drama and it’s so good! It’s Hometown Cha-cha-cha in case anyone was actually wondering.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• It’s Field Day! It’s always a super chaotic day, but we love doing this event every year.

• I may have gotten my reading mojo back this past week. I haven’t just been reading manga but also regular novels.

• I think it’s an iced coffee kind of day. Good thing I bought some concentrate earlier this week.

• Looking forward to my leftover kimchi jjigae for lunch today.

• Maybe I will try some other Korean recipe next week.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• My motivation to cook dinner to quickly waning… I may need to change our meal plan.

Here's my randomness for the week:

• We’re currently traveling to Indiana for Alex’s graduation… I wasn’t looking forward to the travel part of this year’s trip.

• Thankfully we are having fun exploring the Field Museum in Chicago today.

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Exploring the local art museum with other homeschool families is always so delightful. It helps that it was a beautiful day yesterday.

• Finally going beyond just Stray Kids in my Kpop obsession. But don’t worry, I still love my Stray Kids so much.

• I really need to focus on a brain dump this week to help get it all out. I have so many projects in progress and need to organize a bit.

• Went to the Asian Market yesterday for kimchi and came out with my new favorite treat: Green Tea Samanco! So good!

Next up on the TBR pile:

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• Weather issues caused co-op to relocate indoors this week. Not the best start to our semester.

• I have completely fallen down the Stray Kids web series hole. So many shows that I had to search through the Wiki to get the complete list and the airing dates. Currently in 2018 working through some of these shows. (Now I know where a ton of famous clips come from.)

• The colony of bees that live in my head that get angry sometimes and cause me problems seems to have all died. I think I am in the middle of a colony collapse. Not a good place to be…

Next up on the TBR pile:

Odds and Ends

Here's my randomness for the week:

• I’m currently reading six books right now. It might be a bit much.

• A blizzard came through on Tuesday night, disrupting my plans for yesterday. No birthday dinner out for me. Instead, we have pushed it to this weekend at some point.

• Trying to take advantage of all the birthday offers from various places. We’ll see what I can work into my plans for Sunday.
