Winter has made it to northeast Florida. Finally! It hovered around 40 degrees (4 C) all day yesterday and is in the 50's today. I'm loving it.
I had to go into the office one day this week and it was good to see Boss #1 and Boss #2 (Boss #3 was working from home). I only saw a couple other people since most are working from home. It was pretty much a ghost town. But it was fun to get out and have a somewhat normal day. Whatever that means at this point.
The other day I was telling The Husband the premise of a book I was reading and how at the start of the story the two characters didn't get along at all.
Him: Oh, so it's angry love.
Me (laughing hysterically): Uh, that would be enemies to lovers.
But the more I think about it, the more I like his "angry love" trope. LOL
This week's 80's music fix is a cover of Fools Rush In (1982) by Bow Wow Wow. I love that it was used in the Kirsten Dunst movie, Marie Antoinette.

HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?
I'D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT!
Okay, that school photo is hilarous! I think that your huband's description is pretty spot on. I could totally get behind temps in the 40s and 50s. So much better than the frigid temps we had. I cannot wait to see what you think of The Best Men!
ReplyDeleteI'm barely into The Best Men but I'm loving it so far. I love the way both Mark and Asher have such pre-conceived ideas about each other - and they're so wrong! LOL
DeleteI am drying my tears from that school picture, but yeah, we totally dressed like that. It's in the teens in the morning here. I would love the 50s. I wouldn't mind going into the office a day or two a week. I just don't want to go every day. It's exhausting. I want to know all about the new Bennett series, so hopefully, you read the book and let me know.
ReplyDeleteI can't stop laughing at that school photo. I mean, that kid has a total vibe going. LOL The synopsis for Baden is giving me all the feels so I'm super excited to give it a try. It'll actually be my first from Bennett!
DeleteOh "angry love"! I love that!! And that school photo is cracking me up!
ReplyDeleteIs that pic priceless or what?! LOL
DeleteAngry love is perfect! Maybe we need to try to get that used! I'm glad you're finally seeing some relief in the weather. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI swear, I can't stop laughing at the "angry love" thing. It was so priceless. :)
DeleteOur weather dropped from 73 to 27 this week. I really wish it would just pick a season!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that's quite a drop, Jennifer!
DeleteJust ordered my copy of Running Wild! Really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteHaha, angry love!
Yay! I hope you'll love it, too, Angela!
DeleteThe school picture is funny! Angry love is a great description! I hope you have a great week! https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2022/01/stacking-shelves-7sunday-post-4.html
ReplyDeleteThe school pic makes me laugh every time I look at it. :)
DeleteAngry Love!!!! :-)))) Your husband has lots of humore Tanya. I hope I'll get back to the office in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteI thought we might return to the office by the end of the month but it's not looking good.
Deleteangry love...lol
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
It sure gave me a laugh. :)
DeleteThis is going to sound so weird, but... I know the guy in that Totally random pic! I'm sure it's him! I'll have to check my Facebook because I'm sure he's got it posted there?!? Seriously!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay it's not him. :) But... in my defense he does have it on his profile and apparently lots of people thought it was him. I knew I'd seen it. there's a ton of comments saying "Mark is this you???" or some variant thereof. lol. It looks EXACTLY him and he's apparently had quite a bit of fun with it over the last coupla years smh
DeleteOh my goodness, that's s o funny that you thought it was him. And apparently you're not alone! I bet he has fun playing with that. LOL
DeleteI'll be interested to see what you think of Reminders of Him! I've been seeing it around the blogosphere a lot recently. My week was slow-going, but things are about to pick up a lot since I am moving back to school for a new semester tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteclaire @ clairefy
My expectation for Reminders of Him are sky high since Hoover is a longtime favorite. Hope the new semester gets off to a great start!
DeleteYou're making me laugh. I hope you have a great week with some amazing books. Stay well!
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thanks Anne! Hope your week is going well and you're staying warm. :)
Deleteoh boy I just love that school photo. :) And yay for cooler temps. Winter in Florida eh? lol I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHope this weeks brings some great reads for you.
Yeah, I imagine you would get quite a laugh at how people here react when the temps fall below 50. LOL
DeleteAngry love, that's awesome! I hope the new CoHo book is a great read for you. I finally read my first book from her late last year and loved it so much that I picked up 3 more from her backlist.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Suzanne! My mom and one of my sisters has started reading Colleen Hoover. Now I'm working on the other sister. LOL
DeleteAngry love... that sounds like something my partner would think of. A very dude answer lol. I like it! That meme has me rolling!
ReplyDeleteOMG I'm still laughing over that meme. It's just so of that period. :)
DeleteHappy to see Running Wild was a hit! I can't wait to read it. I do like your hubs 'Angry Love' trope!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll love Running Wild, too!
DeleteAngry love, definitely one to keep around, lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's a bit colder, I remember you asked for that last week, or the week before! :)
I asked and I received! LOL It's been chilly all week and I'm loving it. :)
DeleteAngry love 😂 I like it! I'm not a fan of winter weather, but if 40s/50s is your winter I'll take it. Hope you're having a good week!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the angry love comment is still making me chuckle. And here in Florida, 40's and 50's is definitely winter weather! LOL
