Last night we celebrated a last second Ohio State win over Notre Dame. A great way to end the day. We also had a game night with friends and I always forget to take pictures of those! We played Big City. Any other board game lovers out there?
As you can see from the pic, I got a new car! I am so not a car person and will surely lose this car in the parking lot for a bit. My only requirement was good gas mileage and a car to take on trips, the the CRV Sport Hybrid is a good fit.
Posts
I only managed one post this week, but it’s a good one! Hello Stranger by Katherine Center
Books finished
Rainbow Weaver by Linda Elovitz Marshall and Elisa Chavarri was the true standout. A lovely picture book.
Currently Reading
I do typically have many books going on at once, but this is close to my limit. Anyone else struggle with this?
On TV
We’ve been watching Harlan Coben’s Shelter series on Amazon. We hope to catch the finale tonoght.
We also started Wheel of Time, season 2. I’ve not read the series of books, but love the show.
Movies

I watched this for one of my lists. I appreciated the idea, but it didn’t quite live up to its potential. Based on a play about a writer who gets drawn into the SS.
Plans for the Weekend
Well, it’s already Sunday and the last few days have been busy, so I have a lot of catching up to do with house stuff. And Gage and I will be started supplemental Mom school, lol. I’ll be doing a reading curriculum with him, because, well, I’m not sold on how much instruction he’s getting at school. We’re going to start one of my favorite kids books, Number the Stars.
What’s up with the rest of your weekend?

I had a fabulous time in Italy, but I really missed blogging and reading…well, regular life. Hope to start Tom Lake today.
Usually I have a half-dozen books going at once, too. It can feel a little overwhelming though.
I’ve heard such great things about Tom Lake! Welcome back 🙂
Lol I love that you are going to be adding to his education! I would probably do the same. Once a homeschool mom, always a homeschool mom. 🙂 Number the Stars is a good pick!
We have Wheel of Time on the list to watch too! I liked the first season a lot. My husband read the books and is enjoying the series as well.
Rainbow Weaver is going on my list!
Yea, poor kid has to do school twice, lol. Just can’t help myself. I wish we’d rewatched the first season of Wheel of Time because I’m still a litte lost on a few things a few episodes in. I love it though.
Congrats on the new car! I’m not a car person either… hate the whole process of deciding which car to get and buying! Of course once you have the new car, it is fun to have a new one right? Enjoy your new ride and all of your current reads!
I really wanted to look at other cars, but then my husband said, “We can turn around and go get that car right now.” And I thought, do I really want to spend more time on an activity I dislike so much? The answer was no so we turned around 🙂
Congrats on the new car! I’m still trying to decide if I want to bother with one or continue walking and public transiting around L.A. I think I saw that our gas is over $7/gallon so I’m in no hurry. But I do congratulate you on having the whole car buying ordeal behind you!!!!
If I lived near reliable public transit I’d rarely use my car!
