Singledom kinda sucks

 Yes, dear nonexistent reader, I am single. I normally don't mind that I am until we get to this season. Everyone is doing those cute Christmas couple shots and Hallmark's super sweet romance films start tasting like they've been sweetened with saccharine. And don't even get me started on Valentine's Day.....

I would like to be the other half of a duo. But honestly, I doubt there is a man alive who would be interested in me. I don't see myself as a very exciting person. 

 

This week's song on replay is Hunter Hayes "Everybody's got somebody but me" featuring Jason Mraz. Enjoy!

Thank You, Daniel Craig

 Mr.Craig, 

I would like to thank you for making me like James Bond again. As a teen, I became disillusioned with Bond. I thought of him as another womanizing pretty boy who knew how to throw a punch. Yes, I was that girl.

It was with great reluctance that I watch Casino Royale with my father (he's been doing a bit of a binge lately). I was overjoyed with your take on the iconic spy. I sat with my Dad and watch the other 3 films.

I just wanted to thank you and say that the next 007 will have big shoes to fill. My Dad and I will be watching No Time to Die together later this weekend. We thank you for making us like this franchise again.

A fan,

YTM

We're doing Shakespeare!

Last Saturday, my Dad had me getting as many Shakespearean films as I could get. Now we are slowly watching them all. I don't know if I want to be there when he plays Titus. I need therapy just reading the Wikipedia page about it. Shakespeare could be incredibly light-hearted and funny. He also could be so dark and depressing that therapy may be needed after reading and/or watching a play.

Family, Right?

 I love mine, I do. But sometimes, they could be a bit more helpful, you know? For instance, I was planning on writing a blog post (about something I've now forgotten) when LS1 brought me a paper with a name on it. All she did was smile and leave me to my own conclusions. I had to go to my mother for more information on what I was supposed to look up.

Also, I have a cousin who is like a sister to me. Every time I call, she never picks up. And since I'm between cells right now, I can't text her. So, I email her. And that worked for a while. But, I sent her an email two months ago and I still haven't heard back. I hear about her through other family members. How is that going to help me check on her?

And so far this week, I feel like if I blink wrong, LB1 will snap my head off. LB2 is upset that I called a minor injury to Mom's attention and LittlestB is becoming a tiny tyrant we're going to have to de-thrown. 

Sorry, not sorry for this mini-rant. It's been bubbling for a while. If any of you all out there feel me, please leave a message below. I feel like I'm writing for either a time capsule or a hoard of robots that is going to declare me their de facto queen since I pretty much seem to write for their benefit.

Finneas' new album, "Optimist"!

 I am a fan of Billie Eilish. I love to listen to her music as I cook and clean in the kitchen. So, when my mom told me that Finneas O'Connell, Billie's older brother, had an album out, I got it the very same day. I have no regrets.

I played his album today as I worked in the kitchen. He has the same smooth quality of voice as his sister. I didn't want the album to end. I breezed through my work. I am putting this album on replay.

Below are a few of my favorites:


 
 


Also, Adele has a new single out. You will catch that below.

So Sorry

 If you were expecting a post on my regular day, that didn't happen. Life seems to like to conspire against me so that I don't post as regularly as I'd like. But, I'm here now, so let's get to it.

Bomba Estero put out a new song named Ahora. I'm literally jamming to it as I'm writing this piece. I needed this song this summer. It would've been part of my Summer 2021 Playlist. Here it is below. 

I just got W.R Gingell's 9th book in her Between series. Can't wait to start Between Family since the last book ended with an epic cliffhanger. In truth, my to read list is so long, I think I need a few extra lives in order to get through all of it.

To knit or not to knit

 I'm almost finished this lovely beanie and scarf set. The scarf is coming along slowly because I find myself stopping and starting. It's hard to knit with a migraine since you're curled up in a ball in the darkest place you can find.

As you can see, it's been a bit of a trying time. But I am almost 2/3 of the way done and will post photos when I am. As always, feel free to leave a message below.
