40 Things Update One

 Apparently making a giant list of things you want to do is the way to go.  I not only knocked a few things off the list but I was motivated to do extra things as well.  Always great. 1) Finish the human relations unit in the course I am taking. 2) List 1 item in my Etsy Shop. 3) Cancel my gym membership. 4) Finish dying the yarn for the pink blanket I am making. 5) Post my first video on Youtube. 6) Clean out my closet. 7) Clean out my daughter's room. 8) Replace my broken grocery cart. 9) Watch Spiderman Homecoming. 10) Watch Justice League. 11) Reinstall Windows on my computer. 12) Finish one section of the next unit in my course. 13) Purge my clothes and organize drawers . 14) Catch up on pen pal letters. 15) Wrap Christmas presents. 16) Make homemade soaps. 17) Make lotion bars. 18) Make bath bombs. 19) Make up quick crochet washcloths for teacher gifts. 20) Make a book Advent Calendar for the kids. 21) Make a binder for my p...

TBR Review: Bunnicula

BEWARE THE HARE! Is he or isn't he a vampire? Before it's too late, Harold the dog and Chester the cat must find out the truth about the newest pet in the Monroe household -- a suspicious-looking bunny with unusual habits... and fangs! This book has been in my TBR pile since a YA book swap before I moved.  In other words, a while.  I finally knocked it off in about half an hour the other day.  So it was a pretty quick read, which is good because if I am going to hit my Goodreads goal this year I need to knock back those quick reads.  I am 47 books away. Bunnicula is a fun book, I really enjoyed it.  Harold has a great point of view of what is going on in his household.  I kind of feel a bit like Chester everyday, frazzled and not able to convince people of the things that I know are going on. I feel both of my kids would enjoy reading this a great deal, it has been passed along to Ace's TBR pile and then it will make it's way to Cat's.  ...
