The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
It's a chance to share news: a post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books,
and share what's coming up on your blog in the week ahead.
Four days in the office this week and I was exhausted. I worked from home on Friday and was hoping for an easier day but... nope. Very busy. Which made me all the more thankful for the day to wrap up. We stayed in Friday night, my mom joined us for dinner (which she does every Friday), and we kept it simple with Chili's take-out. Then two rousing games of Parcheesi. It's how we roll. :)
Yesterday The Husband went to a car show (he received a Top 15 trophy) so I invited my mom to go with me to Hobby Lobby. We were in there for ages and I'm always amazed at the variety they have. I went for some planner supplies and also found some gorgeous place mats for the new dining room table. And my mom actually found a small air fryer. She'd been wanting one for a while but most seemed too large for just her. This one looked like the perfect size - and it was a pretty color so that was a bonus.
It's hot and I don't like it. That is all.
Our mini getaway is coming up in a week and I can't wait. I'm so ready for a change of scenery. It's been far too long.

WHAT I COMPLETED IN THE LAST WEEK
READ:
Absolutely loved this latest installment in the Cake series. Review to come on Tuesday.
WHAT I'M CURRENTLY READING
READING:
I'm not usually a fan of kids in romance books, but something about this one called to me and I'm so glad I heeded that call. Really enjoying this one a lot.
Not a thing.
How was your week? Any new books? Any news to share?
I'd love to hear about it!
I’m so glad to read you are going on a little getaway soon. That will be great I bet! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the J Daniels book.
I’m setting up a TBR cart and I’m so excited! LOL!
Have a great week and happy reading.
The J. Daniels book ended up being such a hit for me! I definitely want to read more from her.
DeleteA getaway is definitely something to look forward to.I am dreading going back to the office, but I know it's on the horizon. NJ loosened the mask mandate on Friday. It's odd seeing people's faces again. I have been to a Hobby Lobby once (though there is one right around the corner). I was overwhelmed by the size and all the stuff they had.
ReplyDeleteI hardly see anyone wear masks down here anymore. It's crazy. When I wear one in a store I'm usually the only one!
DeleteOh I love your last graphic and it is very true! What is the world turning into to. Sorry to hear you had a rough week at the office, we also had a rough week at school. Thankful for weekends and books to escape into.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead!
Thank goodness for weekends! :)
DeleteThey have air fryers at Hobby Lobby? I need to go there! I want one of those. I haven’t been to Hobby Lobby since the pandemic started. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I was surprised, too! I didn't recognize the brand, but it was on sale for $40 so that was a steal!
DeleteI love today's meme! Because yes we don't know how to post on tiktok but can do plenty of other things! Now I haven't gone to the office in more than one year now!!! I gues I'd be exhausted after four days too. Enjoy this long weekend Tanya!
ReplyDeleteIt's been exhausting adjusting to working in the office again. It's like, how did I used to do this every day? LOL
DeleteI love that you play Parcheesi. If we clear the dining table maybe we can play some games tomorrow. Right now it is busy with various projects. It was 90s this past week and I'm looking forward to 80s with a bit more rain this week. It's 65 today!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
We even took Parcheesi with us on our trip. We played in the empty dining room downstairs on the afternoon that it rained. :)
DeleteAdd drive a stick to that meme! I hope you enjoy your mini getaway!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that's another good one!
DeleteI haven't had Chili's in AGES. And congrats to your hubby- that sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend and Memorial Day Tanya! And happy reading!
TikTok baffles me :)
Chili's is super convenient for us because they're around the corner and have curbside pick-up. :)
DeleteI need to read that next Cake book! I'm so happy you loved it. I hope you love that J. Daniels book despite the kids. I love that series. Actually, all her books.
ReplyDeleteI adored the J. Daniels book! Like, hardcore loved it. I definitely need to read more by her.
DeleteWoo hoo congrats on Top 15! What kind of a car do you have that it wins trophies???
ReplyDeleteI love Parcheesi! Haven't played it in so long.
My husband has a 2015 Dodge Challenger that he has customized. He loves it!
DeleteHaha I feel you on Tok Tok! I must be getting old. Congrats on the car show, that's cool! Sorry you had a long week - hopefully this work week is better (at least shorter, if you have tomorrow off?).
ReplyDeleteYes, having Memorial Day off definitely helped!
DeleteIt's going to be really hot tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to that, so I feel your pain. Congratulations on the win! Happy to hear you'll be getting away soon. Hope you enjoy your time off.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded an audio copy of Down Too Deep after watching a video chat with Forever publicists. They recommended it and it sounded good so I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it!
I seriously loved Down Too Deep. I had zero expectations and it really surprised me with how emotional it got. I'll definitely read more from Daniels.
DeleteI could get lost in Hobby Lobby for hours!
ReplyDeleteIt's easy to do!
DeleteNow that is nostalgia, almost. It has been so many years since I played Parcheesi, or any other board game at all. I hope your work week gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteWork seems a lot better now that I had the week off last week. :)
DeleteI haven't been to Hobby Lobby since before the pandemic but I love how you just never know what you'll find when you go. Enjoy your upcoming getaway!
ReplyDeleteThey have sooo much there... I love to just wander. :)
DeleteThat's awesome your mom found an air fryer that works for just her! And yay for an upcoming getaway. That's always something positive to look forward to!

Yes! I am so ready for a change of scenery after the last year+ at home.
DeleteI hope you enjoy Down Too Deep! I really enjoyed it! I need to find myself an air fryer I can understand. 😂 I cannot seem to work it out.
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Whispering Chapters
I loved Down Too Deep, Gen! It was so much more than I expected. I now want to inhale everything by J. Daniels. :)
DeleteLOVE the Pet Shop Boys - there is a new commercial I keep seeing with one of their songs and it is making me happy!
ReplyDeleteYes! I've seen that one, too. I think it's "Opportunities." So funny to see a Pet Shop Boys song in a commercial 30+ years later. :)
DeleteMy husband and I randomly decided to check out our local Michaels and boy we spent forever in there and spent way too much money on stuff. hahha I hope you have fun on your mini getaway! That sounds nice. And I agree, it's been getting warmer here and I don't like it either lol
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Michaels is another place that has so much variety. It's easy to go crazy in there! :)
DeleteWe were in the 90's for a few days this week and it was humid. Very rare for out here in PNW but I was having FL flashbacks lol But they don't the a/c everywhere so I hid inside.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
I can't imagine anyplace without AC. That's just... no. LOL
DeleteI am always ready for the work day to end on Friday :) Congrats to your husband for the trophy. I am so glad that you and your mom were able to enjoy some time shopping together.
ReplyDeleteRight? It's like 5:00 on Friday can't come soon enough! :)
