Last Week I:
Listened To: Empire of Pain, which I raced to finish before the loan expired, and then I started Kate Atkinson's A God In Ruins. It's a tough listen as it bounced back and forth in time very rapidly.

Read: I've had to push my way through this months' book club selection, Miriam Towes' A Complicated Kindness. It's only 246 pages but I am just not connecting with it and may end up apologizing to my book club for choosing it.
Made: I've only been home for meals half of this week so I haven't made much of anything.
Enjoyed: Getting to celebrate my brother and to spend time with my dad, my sister-in-law, all of their kids and two of their grandchildren this weekend.
Thursday evening three book club friends and I went to hear Amor Towles speak about his latest book, The Lincoln Highway. He was fabulous and I highly recommend seeing him if he is in your town.
This Week I’m:
Planning: Sadly, it's time to start putting the yard and gardens to bed for the cold months so there will be plenty of yard work that needs to get done this week.

Feeling: I'm having all the warm fuzzies tonight. Miss H loves, loves Hamilton but has never seen it live. The Big Guy decided that needed to be rectified so tonight he ordered tickets for the two of them to go see it in a couple of weeks when it's in town. They haven't had a father-daughter evening in a very long time and she is so excited. He's a good daddy!
Looking forward to: A quieter week except for book club on Tuesday.
Question of the week: Last night was not the worst hotel experience we've ever had and the other times make for great stories. What are some of the worst experiences you've had at hotels?
Your post made me smile about expecting to see twins at the end of the hall. We only stay at Marriott properties or on occasion a Hampton Inn so no real bad experiences there. I can't believe how far and how many days you spent driving. Glad your daughter is settled. Have a good week Lisa.
ReplyDeleteTennessee has a long history of poor sportsmanship unfortunately. I'm in SEC country and I had several friends who were either in marching band or dance team for other SEC teams - Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss etc and they all have horror stories. One got caught up in a crowd of TN fans and they actually damaged her uniform. The week before playing TN is called "hate week". This is really just the first time it's been really caught on camera. That is awesome that The Big Guy got Miss H Hamilton tickets. What fun and what a special memory for them both. Have a great week!
