wishfulthinking

The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy | Elizabeth Kendall

The other half thinks I'm weird but does anyone else do this? I broke a new candle jar today and that annoys me so I'm spending the afternoon boiling down my old candles to make wax melts and move the new candle into a new jar so it can still be used. Weird as hell or makes perfect sense if you have an hour or so to kill and an audiobook to listen to? 🤣🤣

#audiocandlesaving ?

Laughterhp My husband actually does this!! I don‘t lol 3y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego My BF recently did something similar. 3y

FantasyChick @Laughterhp @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego That's great 🤣 I'm telling mine so he can stop thinking it's weird and start doing it himself. #wishfulthinking 🤣🤣 3y

A Civil Campaign | Lois McMaster Bujold

‪Pretending that I might get a few minutes to read today. 😂 #wishfulthinking #DistanceTeaching ‬
‪PS please don‘t judge my Baen cover art. Or my stellar breakfast choices. 😄Focus on my cool bookmark and fantastic taste in science fiction 😉‬

tokorowilliamwallace I don't usually eat breakfast, but when I do it's oatmeal with cottage cheese. You're making me want to look out for this author at the resale charity shop. I need more classic 80s/90s fantasy. 3y

marie3blue Bujold is fantastic. This one is well into her Vorkosigan series which is science fiction but I also highly recommend her World of the Five Gods books, which is fantasy. Vorkosigan begins with “Shards of Honor”

Shards of Honor

marie3blue Five Gods begins with

The Curse of Chalion

FantasyChick @jfalkens I have been playing with starting that series for years now! It kind of intimidates me, tbh lol 6y

Co-Active Coaching, Fourth Edition: The proven framework for transformative conversations at work and in life | Henry Kimsey-House, Karen Kimsey-House, Phillip Sandhal, Laura Whitworth

It‘s new roof day!! Which means that I‘m spending the morning at a local cafe. Hoping to get work done fast enough to finish my #currentread before an early school pick-up at noon. #wishfulthinking

Tamra We‘ve had two replaced and it‘s been quite a quick job! I am hoping the same for you. 🤞🏾 6y

SheilaChew Love your journal! 💜 6y

julesG Your journal looks great! I need to write reading time into mine. 6y

alisiakae @Tamra They should hopefully be done by 2 today! Although that estimate was before they found 5 rotted plywood boards. The builder of our house did some really shoddy work on the original roof, we have had so many issues. Happy to get the old one off and new one on, but also glad we waited till a storm caused damage...we had enough hail/wind damage that the insurance adjuster approved on the spot. ☺️ 6y

alisiakae @SheilaChew @julesG Thanks! I used to keep a #bujo, but like this better. 6y

Tamra @4thhouseontheleft yay!!! So long as it gets done today! (edited) 6y

saresmoore Are you getting a Solar City roof to go with the Tesla?? (Wishful thinking, I‘m guessing they probably haven‘t come to your area yet.) 6y

MoMogrl What journal is that? I am having a hard time getting in to bujo, but think something like that would help. I need to organize my life! 6y

alisiakae @saresmoore I wish! But with the wait list and production delays, we couldn‘t the wait 1 1/2 yrs for it, since we have current roof leaks and other problems that we didn‘t want to patchwork repair. 😫 6y

saresmoore Uuuugh, I hear that! I‘m so glad you‘re getting it fixed—I hope it will be a burden removed for you! 6y

Anyone else wish that when you bought a book you got it in all formats (physical, audio and ebook)? I so wish I had an ebook of my physical book so I could read it on my phone right now. 😆😆

Ashley_Nicoletto I read a book during almost every lecture in college for all the extra classes not directly related to my major that I had to take. Marketing. Business management. LOL. I‘d open up the kindle app on my laptop and read the entire period. 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y

MinDea @Ashley_Nicoletto 😆😆 We aren't allowed to have our computers open during the conference so it's be sort of obvious! 6y

Ashley_Nicoletto @MinDea 🤣🤣 Dang it. Look at all the Littens coming up with ideas. Readers unite. 6y

Literary_Siren I usually have a book in both physical and ebook format. Sometimes audiobook too. You never know when you‘re going to be bored out of your mind and need a book. You could also start a new ebook, if you don‘t have it in both formats. 6y

MinDea @Literary_Siren that's a good idea. I have an audio and physical. I may need to start an ebook too! 6y

A Girl Called Jack: 100 delicious budget recipes | Jack Monroe

I‘m having trouble focusing on reading at the moment, I‘ve started several books but can‘t seem to stay focused so I thought I‘d share this link about a project that has warmed my heart https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/15/man-feeds-hungry-kids-hate... The tagged book is by the amazing jack monroe who was living in poverty and came up with these recipes to feed her and her child for (c8 a week!

Weaponxgirl Check out her blog cooking on a bootstrap and share with anyone who can make use of her low cost recipes. 6y

Dogearedcopy Interesting article about food banks. I can certainly see both sides of the argument regarding the relative quality of food banks‘ foods. Wouldn‘t it be something if both efforts could be combined! #wishfulthinking 6y

Moray_Reads The salad bag pesto is a great idea! I can never get through a bad before it goes off 6y

Seekingtardis Thank you for the share!!! 6y

Weaponxgirl @Dogearedcopy yes I see them as needed at the moment but I hate the fact that they are needed and being used as an example by Tories of how generous a nation we are. I just loved that this guy was trying to bring back dignity both for the people using his service and the people who work for him having a living wage. 6y

Weaponxgirl @Moray_Reads me too! Her salmon paste pasta was also a revelation to me. She is someone who genuinely inspires me with her passion and ingenuity 6y

Weaponxgirl @Seekingtardis your very welcome! I‘m glad you liked it 😊 6y
