THE WEEK IN REVIEW
It's been a busy week, but a good one. Got a lot accomplished at the office, had some medical testing done that came back all clear so that was a big relief, and had lunch with my bosses on Friday for my birthday - which is actually not until tomorrow, but we celebrated early.
Another thing that made it a good week is that I was lucky enough to win Kimberly's (Caffeinated Reviewer) blogoversary giveaway! I received an Amazon gift card (best gift ever LOL) and can't wait to put it to use. Thank you so much for your generosity, Kimberly! 😘
The Husband competed in another target shooting tournament this week and scored two more perfect scores! He's now ranked #10 in the state! Very, very excited for him. 😁
We've decided to update our home office and spent much of yesterday browsing (online) for inspiration and desk options. Currently we have two of the same desk which are set up back to back, so we face each other, but the desks are too large for my liking and I no longer love the set-up. I can't wait to get new desks and start updating the room. I do love a good design/decor project. 😊
Today's throwback song is When Smokey Sings (1987) by ABC. Enjoy!

HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?
We're having nice weather here too. Cool but not too much. Good luck with the new office and furniture. Have another great week.
ReplyDeleteHarvee - Enjoy that weather! And hope you have a great week! :)
DeleteHappy early birthday! That was nice that your bosses celebrated you. Have fun with the redecorating project - I'd love to see some before and afters!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela! I'll try to remember to take some pics before we revamp the office. :)
DeleteI am with the cat. No matter the temperature, when September comes, it's fall. I hope you have a magnificent birthday, and it's great that you won the gift card. It's like an early celebration. Wow! Tenth in the state. I feel like I am one degree of separation from a celebrity. Have fun with the home office project, and I hope Fourth Wing is as good for you as it has been for so many other readers.
ReplyDeleteSam - I am so ready to transition to fall. I don't care that it's 86 outside. :) I'm enjoying Fourth Wing so far. Only downside is that I read fantasy books sooo slowly.
DeleteI'm the cat meme too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the office update!
Thanks Alicia!! :)
DeleteHappy Birthday! Sounds like it's already been a good one. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark! It's been a great birthday so far. :)
DeleteWell well well congratulations for winning the giveaway and to your husband! Also getting good news for your health is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie! It was a good week all around. :)
DeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! It sounds like a lot of good things have led up to it. It's always nice when that happens.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deanna! Yep, lots of good stuff last week... which was a nice break! :)
DeleteHappy Birthday, Tanya! Yay for winning the Amazon GC! What a relief to have good test results. Looking forward to your thoughts on Fourth Wing. Both my husband and I really enjoyed it! The audio was so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! I'm switching back and forth between Kindle and audio with Fourth Wing. I tend to read fantasy novels sooo slowly, but I'm totally enjoying it!
DeleteCongrats on your win and your hubby's! Happy birthday too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Samantha! :)
DeleteHappy birthday! I have certain areas that I'm wanting to constantly rearrange. I fear my school library is one, lol. I bought Fourth Wing but don't know if I'll get to it this year. Hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeleteLisa Loves Literature
Thanks Lisa! I have a habit of holding on to books that I'm actually excited to read. I'm surprised that I've already started Fourth Wing and it's only been out 3-4 months. LOL
DeleteHappy Birthday! Congrats on the win! Our weather is finally cooled down and perfect for me. I've already had to blow leaves. I'll be interested to see how you feel about Fourth Wing. I'm glad your tests results were good. I hope you will update us on the office design; that is a fun project.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
Thanks Anne! I'm excited the the home office makeover. It looks fine now, it just needs to be adjusted/updated to suit our needs. I'm totally enjoying Fourth Wing so far!
DeleteHappy birthday! And have fun decor shopping! that's always fun. :)
ReplyDeleteWow- congrats to your husband on some nice shooting!
Thanks Greg! My husband can "have fun" putting together the desks... and I'll get the actual fun part of doing the decor. :)
DeleteHappy Birthday! Our big renovation recently was building a dog kennel/bar and countertop so that it would be more a piece of furniture instead of his wire crate. It took months of multiple trips to the hardware store and a few meltdowns mixed in, but we now have a piece that is custom to our house that blends into the space seamlessly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ethan! Sounds like your project ended up being quite a success. Hopefully our home office-re-do will get accomplished with no meltdowns (fingers crossed LOL).
DeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hena!
DeleteHappy Birthday, Tanya!! And congrats to your hubby. I adore the meme and can definitely relate!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison! I think we're all pretty much over summer at this point. lol
DeleteCongrats to your husband! That is quite the accomplishment. Good luck with the home office project. I need to get busy working on my basement now that my daughter has moved out. I cannot wait to see what you think of Fourth Wing!
ReplyDeleteCarole - I love the result of home projects but sometimes the during part is painful. lol
DeleteLooks like I'll be the very last person to read Fourth Wing lol
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) birthday. hope it was a good one!
Karen @For What It's Worth
Karen - Well I meant to read it when it released back in May, and here it is mid-September. Ooops!
DeleteI'm so happy that you had a great week. Hope this weekend is also great. Camden is on my list, I've been enjoying that series, and I really liked Coming Home and Fourth Wing.
