What a week it's been. Busy and exhausting but mostly good. We've been in the new house for a week and it's been filled with unpacking (still a lot of boxes sitting around), organizing, and projects. The Husband has wall-mounted a new flat-screen TV, set up our computers, changed a shower head, put together bookcases, spackled and painted, made multiple trips to Home Depot and IKEA, torn out the master closet storage and today is preparing to install an all new built-in closet organization. He's basically a rock star. ♥
Dear Robert,

Another September, another hurricane - only this time it didn't hit Florida. But it did hit North Carolina and I have plenty of family there, including my step-daughter who lives right on the coast. Thankfully she is safe. Still without power, and I'm not sure how much damage to her home yet, but safe. Other family members are also without power but also safe. And now we're just hopeful the flooding is not too severe. They are very much in my thoughts.
Very little time for reading this past week. Just too much else to do. But I did (finally) finish The Girl & Her Ren last night - the second book in a dark romance duet. It was good but it was angsty and emotional and sad... not exactly a ball of fun! LOL My next read definitely needs to be something light!

This song isn't new but I am seriously still loving it so hard. And the video is pretty sweet. :)



WHAT I FINISHED IN THE LAST WEEK:
   
The Girl & Her Ren (The Ribbon Duet #2) - Pepper Winters
So worth reading but, boy, it took a lot out of me. Pepper Winters put me through the emotional wringer!

WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING: 

Nothing right now. I just finished The Girl & Her Ren last night and haven't picked my next book yet. Today should be busy but maybe tonight I'll peruse my bookshelves and pick something light and fun.

              
Not a thing! Been too busy for book buying! :)
    



How was your week? Any new books? Any news to share? 
I'd love to hear about it!

    Yes. The hubs is a rockstar, and um, can we get pictures of this epic closet when it's done? I am one of those people, who drool over California Closets, ok? I can't do those dark romances. I expect an HEA from the romance genre. If the book doesn't deliver - out the window.

      Oh yeah, I'll definitely share pics. Robert keeps walking in here saying, "Have I mentioned how awesome this closet is going to be?" LOL So yeah, he's pretty pleased with how it's coming along.

      I love a good HEA - and usually demand it - but once in a while I like something a little different. Boy, was this ever. Sad, sad, sad. I need sunshine and rainbows! :)

    I'm tired just reading about everything you and your husband have done this week! Well done!
    I hope the rest of the unpacking is speedy and then you both can just chill in the new house. :)

    Yay new house! You may still have lots of boxes, but at least you have your priorities straight. TV, computers, showerhead, and book shelves, those are the most important things :-D Glad to hear your family in NC is safe.

    Have a good week!

      Thank goodness everyone is safe. My family in Fayetteville has power back but the ones on the coast are being told it could be a week. Ugh!

    I'm happy your family is safe! I'll be going to NC next month for a work conference so I hope it's done "weathering".

    Do you feel at home yet??

      Hopefully wherever you’re going in NC wasn’t hit too hard and will be recovered by the time you get there.

      Eh, doesn’t totally feel like home yet... but it’s getting there. I still have moments of feeling like I’m just visiting someone’s home. :)
