The Relentless Weekly Wrap-Up 01/17/2016

Good gravy, don’t the weeks seem to be flying by? Every time I turn around it seems to be Sunday once again.

I know. I sound old.

Cooking:
I made a really yummy cheeseburger casserole. It was the first time I made it and I’ll definitely make it again. It’s very Midwestern, it’s very flavorful. I’ll make a tweak or two (more noodles, crushed tomatoes instead of diced) but it got an A from everyone here.

I’m not doing much of this. Unfortunately. 

Reading:
The streak of not being able to focus on a book continues. I’m supposed to be reading Hamilton. I was supposed to join in #24in48 this weekend. Blerg.

Thinking: 
…about going on a social media break. I don’t want to make a big damn deal about it but I think part of my focus problem has to do with the never ending stream of information that is literally at my fingertips. I’m going to start by re-reading Emily’s great post: Curating Your Digital Life

Crushing on Trip is my life right now.

Watching: 
I’m on season 3 of Star Trek: Enterprise. It’s definitely not as bad as rumors would have you believe. Now that I’ve hit the 3rd season I can see what the show could have/should have been from the beginning. What a shame that it was cancelled right as it hit its stride.

I also gobbled up all of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. The episodes are short and most of them are hilarious.

So DONE with this week.

In Conclusion: 
If I’m honest this wasn’t the greatest week. I was sick. I didn’t read. The Packers lost in a heartbreaking overtime game last night. Sob. Let’s move on to next week, shall we? It has to be better.

Your Mission:
Tell me what you’ve been up to this week! Tell me a cheesy joke! Brag about something amazing! Make me smile!

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 01/11/16

Hosted by Book Date

Read:
I finished Between the World and Me. Putting my feelings about this book into words might not be possible. One thing I can say for sure is that everyone should read it. Everyone.
Currently Reading: 
I started this chunky monkey last night. I love a good bio and Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow is rumored to be one of the best. I’m reading it along with a bunch of other groovy bloggers as part of #HamAlong hosted by Reading Rambo.
Upcoming: 
I got my hands on Vol. 4 of Ms. Marvel and I’m almost positive I’ll be sneaking it in at some point this week. I’m surprised that I didn’t gobble it up on the day it came. Delayed gratification, people!
As I type this it is 22 BELOW ZERO in my small Wisconsin town. I’m hoping not to leave the house today, brrrr. I hope you’re staying warm! Have a bitchin’ week, you gorgeous book lovers.
