Happenings// Getting ready to head out of town tomorrow for a sort of, but not really, vacation. The hubs has a week of job training, and I’m going to stay in the hotel and diligently write my thesis.
Baking// blueberry and peach cobbler. And it turned out great! I used Ree Drummond’s blackberry cobbler recipe, and experimented with the fruits and spices. And I nailed it! Made me think of my grandmother and how she used to make it for me, and I think she’d have liked my version, too!
Watching// Ant-Man. This was a lot of fun! I’ve been a fan of Paul Rudd for 20 years (GAH!) and enjoyed his performance. I’m a big fan of whatever Marvel releases, so it’s no surprise that I had a good time. If you haven’t gotten a chance to see it yet, heads up: wait until the very end of the credits.
Reading// This week I finished The Martian and The Restaurant at the End of the University (Hitchhiker’s Guide #2) and made some headway on The Planets. Does anyone sense a theme?
Loving// SPACE. My increased free time has allowed me to go retro-nerd and revive my love for space. It’s been a blast keep up with all the Pluto news! My solar system still has nine planets, take that NASA!
Anticipating (sort of)// the release of the next Millennium novel, The Girl in the Spider’s Web. I really enjoyed what I thought was a trilogy, and I felt that the conclusion of the The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest was very natural. It wasn’t until later that I discovered that Stieg Larsson had plans for a total of ten books. I’m very concerned about this new writer taking up the mantle and continuing the series, but, it’s averaging four stars on Goodreads so far. It’s due for release in September, so I don’ have to wait long to find out for myself!
How was your week, readers?
