I still haven't even touched the desk I bought at that auction - it's living in my dining room, just off the front hall where it's a visible reminder that I need do something with it. I keep thinking "next weekend." It wasn't this weekend. Maybe I am getting old - I definitely don't get as much done in a weekend as I used to be able to get done! The Big Guy, on the other hand, has knocked out getting the kitchen painted, which is making me so happy.
Last Week I:
Listened To: I finished B.A Shapiro's The Art Forger and just started Marie Benedict's Carnegie's Maid. Not too far into it yet, but I'm afraid I'm going to struggle with it. Fingers crossed because I really don't want to go to the effort of trying to find another book that I'm interested in that's available right now.
Watched: We went to see Superman last night. Not the kind of movie that I usually pay to see in the theater, but it's summer so why not see a summer blockbuster. Still not sure if I liked it or not - maybe too much comedy in it and I'm not sure about the dog (that felt a little Disney-esque to me).
Read: I'm about two-thirds of the way through Fredrik Backman's latest, My Friends. While I love his writing, this one took me a little while to get into the story. I am feeling like it runs on, but I am becoming quite attached to the characters.
Made: It's summer and it's the week of Mini-him's bday so the food this week reflected that: caprese pasta, BLTs, Asian chicken salad (which is not a salad, but a pasta dish that Mini-him always wants for his bday) and red velvet cake.
Enjoyed: Dinner Thursday night with Miss C's parents, the movie followed by dessert and drinks last night with friends, and birthday dinner today with Mini-him and Miss C.

This Week I’m:
Planning: I have a renewed interest in genealogy so I've pulled out all of my old paper files and I'm working on getting those organized so I can get everything uploaded and start researching again (let's be honest, I'm alway already researching because that's really the fun part!).
Thinking About: We're required to take five days of our PTO in one block and I need to figure out when I'm going to do that and what I'm going to do in that week. A vacation would be nice, but I think our kitchen was our vacation this year! I may end up painting cabinets during that week. Or trying to knock out a big organizing project around here - like the garage or photos or the basement. I'd say that would make me as happy as sitting on a beach, but nothing makes me happier than sitting on a beach. The zinnias are bring in the
monarchs!
Feeling: Tired. My anti-depressant seems to be helping in the way it should be helping, but it makes me so tired that I tend to nap as much as possible. Not sure that's tenable long term.
Looking forward to: Visits from family this week.
Question of the week: If you had to take a week off of work but weren't going anywhere, what would you do?
