THE WEEK IN REVIEW
The big news here this week was Hurricane Idalia. Thankfully, we had no damage. We did lose power for a short time but it was a minor inconvenience compared to the damage on the opposite coast.
It was an easy week at the office. I was on PTO Monday so I could go to a medical appointment with The Husband. On Wednesday the office was close due to the hurricane, so I worked from home. And on Friday, two of three Board members were out (I work as the assistant to the CEO, CFO, and COO) so it made for an easy day.
For those that have the day off tomorrow for Labor Day... enjoy! I have plans to meet my sisters and my mom for lunch, something we haven't done in quite a while.
This week's throwback song is Modern Love (1983) - one of my favorite Bowie songs. Enjoy!

HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?
Glad to hear you had no damage from the hurricane and an easy week at the office. Hope you have a great week ahead and fun with your mom and sisters on Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsey! It was great to enjoy some down time with my mom and sister. :)
DeleteGlad to hear you did ok during the hurricane and didn't lose power for too long. Any amount of time is punishing. I love Modern Love. It was my jam back in the day. Did you make anything from the cookbook?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam. No, I didn't make a thing from the cookbook. But I didn't really expect to. I mostly browse cookbooks. I find it therapeutic. :)
DeleteI am relieved that you had no damage from that hurricane Tanya!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie! We were very relieved!
DeleteI'm so glad you made it through Idalia OK.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! Another near miss!
DeleteModern Love is such a great song. And that cake quote totally made me laugh. Hope you have a good week. And I'm very glad you made it through the hurricane safely. :D
ReplyDeleteLark - I loved that cake quote... and it's true. If someone blew all my cake these days there's no way I would eat it!
DeleteSo glad you made it through the hurricane safe and sound. Enjoy your lunch date tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela! It was a great time.

ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie! We were lucky we had no damage with the hurricane.
DeleteI'm thankful you didn't have a worse time with the hurricane. It seemed to go sharply out into the Atlantic so hear in NC we didn't even get much rain from it. Yay for a lighter week and the holiday weekend. I love that you will have a family get together.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thanks Anne. It was relief to not be in the crosshairs of Idalia. Glad you were not impacted badly, either.
DeleteGlad the hurricane didn't cause you any damage but its awesome you got a "hurricane day"! Its like Florida's version of snow days!
ReplyDeleteLOL That's about right, Samantha! :)
DeleteHave a great lunch! And Labor Day! Glad the hurricane missed you guys.
ReplyDeleteOoh Lisa Jewell. I feel like I've fallen behind on her stuff. and that cookbook makes me hungry!
Greg - I hope you'll find some time for Jewell's latest. It's been a fantastic listen!
DeleteSo happy to hear you didn't suffer any big issues from the hurricane! Working at home is nice and even better when your bosses are off. Hope you enjoy that Lisa Jewell. I've been seeing good things. Hope you enjoy your Labor day lunch!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! Bosses being out of the office is always a treat. LOL I'm *this close* to finishing the Lisa Jewell book and it has been excellent!
DeleteI'm glad to hear there's been minimal impact for you with the hurricane. Enjoy the day today! I'm planning on smoking some ribs and having a few friends over. It should make for a great holiday.
ReplyDeleteEthan - Sounds like you had a great Labor Day planned! Good friends and good food are the best!
DeleteGlad you didn't have any damage from the hurricane! I've got that cookbook, need to look through it and make some of the recipes! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLisa Loves Literature
Thanks Lisa. I doubt I'll make anything from the cookbook, but I had fun going through it. :)
DeleteI'm glad to hear you guys got through the hurricane without any major issues. It sounds so scary!
ReplyDeleteI have a Lisa Jewel book in my TBR cart. I can't wait to read it.
Have a great week and happy reading!
Thanks Maureen! I adore Lisa Jewell. She's one of the rare authors that can make me stray from romance. :)
DeleteI'm glad you were mostly spared from the hurricane. It sounds like a mostly relaxing week. Have fun at lunch!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deanna - it was great to get together with my my and sister (the other one couldn't make it).
DeleteI am so glad to hear that you didn't sustain any damage from the hurricane. It sounds like you did have a much quieter week at work. I hope that you have fun with your sisters and mom today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole. Two quiet work weeks in a row now... it's been fabulous!
DeleteGlad the hurricane didn't cause any damage! I'm sure it was a bit nervewracking, though.
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Nicole - Thanks! It was a bit worrisome until we realized it was going to skirt us from a good distance.
DeleteI'm glad you weren't hit too hard by the storm. I still tense up when I hear about one forming until I realize I don't live there anymore lol
ReplyDeleteThat cookbook is pretty. I'm curious about the recipes.
Karen @For What It's Worth
Karen - It's been a fairly calm hurricane season so far (hoping I didn't just jinx it). I doubt I'll actually make anything from the cookbook but I did enjoy browsing through it. :)
