Forty Things Update Four

 So, I super fell behind with blogging with the holiday stress and a toothache that was out of this world.  I did get some things done, not as many off my list as I would have liked but a lot of things that were not on the list.  This is the last time that I will update before the new year and anything that I still want to get done will be getting rolled over to my list of stuff that I want to do in January.  Stuff that I finished since last time is crossed out in green. 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 clothe...

40 Things Update Two

 Time is going by faster than I thought it would be, that's crazy.  Work is super busy because it's the end of the year and doing personal stuff gets thrown on the back burner.  Stuff that was done in the last week is crossed out in blue.

TBR Review: Bunnicula

Image
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.  ...
