It’s Friday, which means next to nothing to me during this weird time. It does mean that my husband will be home for the next couple of days, and that’s always rad. I kinda like that guy.
Here’s what I’ve been up to this week –
Watching: The Office! This one will take me a long while to get through as I’m watching and listening to the Office Ladies podcast at the same time. My husband and I have started the new Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix as well. Oh my word, the theme music drops me right back in time.
Cooking: We’re relying heavily on the Instant Pot because the summer heat shows no sign of going away. Whew! I made an Instant Pot Rotisserie Chicken earlier this week that was fantastic. If you have any fun recipes to send my way I’d love to hear about them.
Reading: I’m currently reading both The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow, and Stamped From the Beginning by Ibram X. Kendi. Stamped is going to take me a while, I can feel it. I want to be deliberate in my reading to learn (unlearn?) as much as I possibly can. It’s been great to see how many other readers are picking up this book, let’s be sure to put that new knowledge into practice.
Hoping: There are some possible exciting things in the works for me and mine. Maybe I’m superstitious, but I won’t be talking about specifics until it becomes a reality. However, I would like to ask you to throw a good thought in my direction if you are so inclined!
I hope your weekend brings you good times and great books. Cheers!
The Relentless Reader 
Here’s the fun thing for me: I had no idea that the new Unsolved Mysteries was coming out until about a month or so ago. But right toward the beginning of quarantine, I discovered that the old UM reruns were on Prime. I started re-watching them, and my youngest (16) was hooked from the very first show. We got halfway through season 2 before suddenly they were for pay only (Prime must have lost the license or something). We watched a few on Tubi with ads, then moved up to WI for the time being, so the old show is on hold for us. But because Laurence got a good grounding in the old Robert Stack version, he and I have been watching the new ones. (Well, he’s doing it slowly. I binged them all in an afternoon.) I’m really glad he got to experience the old ones first. They were a formative part of my adolescence and now they will be for him too!

Oh I love it! I’ve considered dipping into the old ones myself. I’m afraid that the lack of resolutions would drive me up a tree, ha! I love on the new ones how they show a misty photo of Robert Stack, awww!
