Bookish and Not-So-Bookish Thoughts

Tweet

Bookish and Not-So-Bookish Thoughts is a weekly blogging event hosted by Bookishly Boisterous. It allows book bloggers (and non-book bloggers) to write about pretty much anything, bookish or otherwise (i.e. share exciting plans for the weekend, rants on things they've encountered during the week, etc.).

1) 1 day of school left until Christmas break...woohoo, it can't get here soon enough. Today is the Christmas show and while it makes for a long day, it's always so wonderful and I can't help but love watching my little man in the show. This year he has a speaking part, which included weekly rehearsals and memorizing lines. I know when I was in 1st grade, I would NEVER have signed up for something like this.

2) I'm about 1/2 way ready for Christmas...I have a few presents wrapped, inside decor is done, even last minute adjustments...all that's really left to do is baking. I will bake the traditional Peanut Butter Blossoms (Hershey Kiss cookies) and Creme de Menthe Brownies - which at one time was my specialty and now I couldn't tell you when I last made them. 

3) I jumped on-board the Serial bandwagon and just started listening to Episode 12...she started it with a few comments making it sound like the last episode. Nooooooo.

4) I've been in a bit of a reading slump. I attribute it to a higher level of stress during the day, a lack of Christmas spirit and the overwhelming feeling of what to read next...so many choices. 

5) We are hoping/planning to make a run for SC for New Year's Eve. As much as I wanted to stay put and take care of things at home, I am looking forward to getting away and being a bit of a sloth for a couple days.

6) I'm way behind on all things scrapbooking. I really hope the Christmas break helps me put a dent in my scrapbook deficit.
