WhatUp Wednesday #25 (A Day Late)

This week has just gotten the better of me I think! I am happy tomorrow is Friday because honestly, I'm looking forward to sleeping in or just staying in bed on Saturday morning! It seems like everyone across the country is having weird weather so maybe that's part of my uckiness- for lack of a better word... So, I usually share with you all what I've been up to and this week is no different! I just finished the book  Lily and the Octopus  and it was very good. I have to say that I legit ugly cried and it was no joke. The book was well written but it is about a dog who has a tumor on its head. It's no spoiler for me to tell you that. I would recommend reading the book as it is just phenomenal how this man loves his dog. It's a book about relationships past and present and I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.  I also watched the whole season one show of  The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel  on Amazon Prime. Oh I loved this show!! I mean first of all the fashion is d...

WhatUp Wednesday #16

Well, fall will finally be here in North Texas for a couple of days this weekend! Expected highs on Friday and Saturday are in the 50’s. I fully expect to see people coming into work on Friday bundled in their down coats and knee high boots and gloves. Tis the season! I am just excited that I can wear some longer sleeve things and some darker colors. I loved the fall in Michigan because it was cool and crisp and the time for apple picking, football and chili. The leaves would change and you could see your breath in the morning. You better believe I will be sitting here watching Michigan football and eating chili this weekend! I think I also might try my hand at making some apple butter as well! Well, darker colors and long sleeves were definitely represented in this dress that I wore today! I love the new Girl With Curves collection that is available exclusively through Dia&Co . Click the link to the right to get more information and sign up for your box today! I too...

April 2015 Book Club Selection

It's April which means we are reading (or in my case have already read) a new book for book club! This month's pick is from Kelly and it is called the Book of Unknown Americans by Christina Henriquez.  Here's a picture of the cover: As I mentioned, I have already read the book. It's a pretty quick read and I will not spoil anything by talking about it here yet! I got in paperback at Target but you can find it online or at the library. Did you read last month's book, Her? I'm curious what you thought about it if you did. I thought it was kind of weird and creepy and I kept expecting more. It was a good book but a little disappointing in who "Her" was and what that was all about... Happy Reading!  Sandae
