After a mini-hiatus from this link-up, I'm back. Why don't you join me and the hosts Lindsay and Krysten?
- Hugs from the stepson
- Jacaranda trees blooming
- Book Challenge by Erin finished its third installment with the most readers completing the challenge ever!
- Semi-Charmed Winter Book Challenge '15 began, and I'm on book #3
- Nominees for Goodreads Choice Awards announced, so I found even more books to add to my "to read" list
- Kristen is coming to see me in Australia! I mean, sure, she's coming to see her family. Sure, it's in 2017. But, Kristen is coming to see me!
- The little boy dressed as a dinosaur while trick-or-treating who profusely thanked me for the popcorn. His mother explained he couldn't have candy. I'm guessing diabetic? He was so cute and so grateful.
- Phone calls with the parentals
- Celebrating a friend's job offer with a glass of champagne
- This list: 19 places where you can get bomb-ass American food in Sydney. I think a food tour is in order. What made you happy this week?
Had to Google Jacaranda to see what they look like in bloom. LOVE the purple! Jacaranda - what a fun word to say! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwww... I love that the little boy was so thankful! I wish more kids were like that.
ReplyDeletethats rad you found a list of american food you can find there! yay for a slice of home. pun intended. this is a great list - all good things girly! have a wonderful weekend! (that you're already part way into haha)
ReplyDeletexoxo cheshire kat
ahhh - I love that little kid felt 'included' with your halloween stash!
ReplyDeleteI voted for the Goodreads books but have yet to go back and add them to my to-read list. I'm terrified of how it will explode.
ReplyDeleteRe: the kid without candy. I'd guess either diabetic or food allergy (although it could be just some weird parent rule about no sugar). One of my daughter's friends has a diabetic sister and she goes trick or treating and gets candy but at home, she leaves all her candy for the "switch witch", who takes her candy and leaves her a toy. I think it's a cute idea.
Awww, the lil guy dressed as a dinosaur loving the popcorn - that's awesome! That's such a great idea that you gave out popcorn. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad the challenge was a success, I know i had fun. Popcorn is a great option, my friends son has allergies so I know it would have gone over well with her too. Yeah, hope you and Kristen can meet up when she visits.
ReplyDeleteyayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i'm coming!!
ReplyDeletenext challenge, i am definitely going to finish! i hope haha. the short stories one really stumped me, yes i will blame that.
Jacarandas!!!!!! so pretty.
I'm definitely joining in for the next book challenge you host! I feel like I'm already falling behind on the semi-charmed life winter challenge, but I'm determined to finish! It sounds like you had a great week!
ReplyDeleteHey girlfriend, glad to see you here this week. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat dinosaur trick or treater sounds just precious. We don't hand out candy here (we live in a building) so I always miss the ridiculously cute costumes some of the kids have.
I hope you have a pleasant weekend girlfriend xoxo
The Halloween story is Sooo sweet!! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the jacarandas! :) Looking forward to participating in the next instalment of your book challenge.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your book challenge was a success (and sad that I didn't find your blog sooner to participate)! But is it only on Facebook? I never use Facebook for blog stuff (mostly because I barely use it for personal stuff, but also because I try to keep personal accounts and blog accounts separate because I'm weird and a little paranoid). I really want to participate next time, though!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on already getting to book #3 in the new challenge! I've completed two so far, but a bunch of the books I've been on the waiting list for for months are suddenly appearing on my hold shelf at the library ... So I have to read a bunch of those as well since you can't renew books if other people have holds on them. #libraryproblems (I know you can relate to those!)
I hope you and Kristen can meet up when she's in town. That would be so much fun!
Oh my goodness, I found so many more books I want to read when I voted for the Goodreads awards. I really have no idea when to read them all. There are just so many books out there which sound interesting. I need more free time! :)
