The Five-Star Weekend | Elin Hilderbrand
post image

When I should have been exercising or making dinner, I was making a giant batch of Nuts n Bolts becasue a neighbour gifted me with some bugles ( we can‘t buy them in 🇨🇦 anymore 😭) and listening to my audio book #summercanstsrtanydaynow

Suet624 My mother used to make Nuts and Bolts every Christmas. What a flashback! 2d
TheKidUpstairs Oh my gosh, I haven't had good ol' fashioned homemade Nuts n Bolts in FOREVER! So good! 2d
mcctrish @Suet624 they are a total Christmas treat but the bugles made me do it in June ( plus I‘m gifting a a tray of them to my brother in law for his birthday ) 2d

I inhaled this on audio! I wasn‘t expecting to get it so fast for June‘s #literarycrew but here we are. I loved it. Please note I am a total grudge holder just like Hazel! It‘s a ♋️ 🦀thing. Also my vendetta against rabbits continues. I planted 2 cucumbers in my garden instead of my raised beds and I thought one had succumbed to cooler than usual temps BUT NO, it‘s the goddamn rabbits. This was was so healthy and alive this morning 🤬🤬🤬

This has been on my TBR for ages and it‘s also one of my irl book club picks but I‘m struggling - after 1000 Doors of January and A Short Walk Through a Wide World it just feels flat or more of the same ( I‘m only about 50 pages in so maybe it gets better - always try to do 100 pages just in case )

Scochrane26 I loved this one, but I can see where reading the other 2 first would make it hard (I haven‘t read the 2nd one you mentioned, just January). It does take awhile to get going. 2w

ncsufoxes I read somewhere that most white women buy into the whole patriarchy (& voting for you know who) because they worry about protecting their best financial interests. Sadly most women in the US have given up careers or put them on hold while raising kids. Which means we have less financial security as we get older, have paid less into SSI or 401ks. So most women go along with all of it because they see no alternative. 1mo
ncsufoxes Although I also call BS on that too because if we didn‘t have the patriarchy standing in our way we‘d have so much more as women. F The Patriarchy 1mo

ncsufoxes They don‘t want to be feminists. They see feminism as a bad thing. They prefer Ivanka‘s fake feminism (girl power but always take the back seat to your man or dad, know your place). Feminism should always be intersectional, these fake women feminism is only for white women. 1mo
mcctrish @ncsufoxes and I don‘t get it at all! Feminism is about choice and value but even Brittney struggled with it in the beginning, she thought it was for lesbians. Which makes me wonder what the hell is going on in 🇺🇸 1mo

I enjoyed listening to this, at times it was almost meditative. The talk about art and being compelled to create and adrift when there was no inspiration was so interesting, listening to the struggles of addiction was hard. A quote that stood out for me that came from the Koran “Action will be judged by intention”. I‘d like to ask a few people in power about this. It was disjointed at times

Suet624 I read the paper version, but now you‘ve made me want to listen to it. I really liked this one. 1mo

mcctrish @Aims42 you can see I‘ve got it on kindle and it makes me sad not to see the Tiffany blue cover 😢 I should have gotten the colour version 1mo
Scochrane26 I have this book & read it a long time ago. I probably also bought it for the cover & because I was interested in Tiffany‘s. 1mo

AmyG Charming is the perfect word. I, too, could inhale this one. @Aims42 @mcctrish 1mo
mcctrish @Scochrane26 you should join us on Sunday 1mo
mcctrish @AmyG it‘s always a double edged sword when the Sunday buddy reads are delightful - it‘s easy to read them but hard to stop 1mo
kspenmoll You are getting me excited for this read- planning on reading it tomorrow-now I can‘t wait for morning! I am too tired on Friday nights to give the attention to #sundaybuddyread books that they need! 1mo
mcctrish @kspenmoll I usually try to read on Thursday nights for Sunday - you are right about being too tired on Fridays and Saturdays get away from me - but today I had an extra prep at school and no duties at lunch so I read there ( I brought my kindle in my bag cuz I knew about the no duty so I was extra thrilled with the bonus prep) 1mo

Fridays | Andrew Johns

#5joysfriday 1. April lasted FOREVER and the weather sucked for the most part so a lot of books got read 2. Apparently the weather was perfect for magnolias! The tree has had its best year in ages 3. I was gifted a jewelry chest and I‘ve been sorting my beads into it ( composite jewelry like pandora, I‘ve got multiple brands and too much) 4. My sister bought me a custom coaster for my Diet Coke 5. Homemade pizza is the best

MaGoose The pizza looks yummy 😋 1mo
Aims42 Your pizza looks soooo good!! 1mo
kspenmoll Our magnolia tree was more than magnificent too! Maybe all the damp, cold, cloudy days were good for it?! 1mo

Thank you @dabbe for posting these, I love a good list! 1. My favourite is Pride & Prejudice ( an adaptation is playing in our local theatre and we have tickets next Friday 🎉 2. I‘ve never read The Great Gatsby and I don‘t think I ever will so my kids can always say they‘ve read something I haven‘t 🤣 3. I‘ve got On the Road beside my bed to read and maybe this will be the summer I finally do 🤷🏻‍♀️ no tagging cuz I‘m a day late

dabbe You kicked my sorry butt! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 1mo

I‘m a day late for #literarycrew it started with a murder and a cast of characters I mainly abhorrd. 100 pages in and I wondered if I‘d keep going. Almost immediately I started liking it more and cared who died and what was going to happen to them all. The politics of the day aren‘t too far off today‘s

Librarybelle Yay!! 1mo

Next Lego set

AmyG Ooooo…don‘t forget to post when done! 1mo
wanderinglynn Ooh, I love the flower sets! 😍 1mo
ncsufoxes I have this one. The roses were a pain (for me at least) to get together. I do love how they create such beautiful flowers out of LEGO pieces 💐 1mo

I finished my telephone box and put it with my ‘set in the UK‘ books

Caroline2 Ah that‘s so cute! 🥰 1mo
mcctrish @Caroline2 I am thinking about converting the telephone box into a little library but that will require some thought, a plan and perhaps an order for specific pieces 1mo

This was spectacular on audio imo and I was totally blindsided ( also someone tell what the hell the ending meant)

Stupid stickers ( still in pyjamas at 4 pm but my bathrooms are clean )

Aims42 I have good success with heating the sticker up for 30 seconds with a hair dryer. It (usually) peels relatively easy or at least doesn‘t require a ton of picking 1mo
Aims42 And no shame of being in pjs in the afternoon if your bathrooms are clean!! Enjoy your afternoon! 1mo
mcctrish @Aims42 I‘m trying your hack right now 1mo
mcctrish @Aims42 all stickers are gone but Costco‘s are the absolute worst 🤬 thank you ☺️ 1mo
Aims42 @mcctrish Oh, Costco - you got the DEI thing going but work on your stickers 😆 Glad it worked!! Another litten recommended that method to me and I‘ve never tried another way since 😁 1mo
