GOOD MORNING & HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!! Time to build today’s Monday list!! 😀 What did you do this weekend? I spent it at home doing a spring cleaning.
THREE THINGS:
1.) I sorted through tons of my paperbacks this weekends, and will be donating a huge amount of them to the library. 🙂
2.) I went crazy over tomato sandwiches this weekend (with low carb bread). I am currently addicted to those. Some mayo, salt and pepper and thinly sliced tomatoes. Sooooo yummy! Sometimes I add bacon.
3.) I watched “Marry Me” and thought it was so sweet. Far-fetched, yes, but gave me the whole “Notting Hill” vibe. I also watched Coda and loved it too.

- Incandescent by Christina Lee <— M/M FRIENDS TO LOVERS!! “…The first time Marcus holds Delaney during a particularly rough night, the ache in Marcus’s chest, the one he tries hard to ignore, only intensifies. And when their slow-burning friendship sparks into a blazing fire, they finally indulge in each other to satisfy their needs.

1. Rainy day, so a good reading day.
2. Good day for pasta too. Nothing fancy. Packaged ravioli and jarred sauce. 🤷♀️
Promised myself I’d do some house work too……bleh.
Sometimes I like the simple “pre-prepared” foods too.
I’ve now got to pare down my entire closet. This is going to be hell. LOL!
1. I finished In My Dreams I Hold a Knife- ugh! So good, I loved it. And I just saw a review for the author’s upcoming August book that has me so looking forward to it, especially after reading this one. I’d love to see it on screen.
2. It’s been a very Monday kind of Monday. I’m tired.
3. I got a few flavors of American Dream nut butter (get lucky, how you brewin’, and dirt pudding) and love it so much as a little dessert. I put the brewin’ one on sliced banana yesterday and was in heaven. It’s the little things. 😍
My Monday was too “Monday-ish” too. And yet another insomnia night. It’s like I get 2 good long deep sleeps a week, and the rest is cat-napping.
Now I need to look up these nut butters…
I’ve actually been sleeping better, last month was weird for me. I can almost never actually nap in the day. Maybe a result of my diet/exercise change? I dk, hope it doesn’t happen again this month. And I wish yours would clear up too! I believe the just plain nutty series is the real no added anything, more “healthy” version. But, it’s a treat and a better for me treat than some other desserts I could indulge in. I got “chip wrecked” for an Easter gift for my girl.
1. I’m in Mexico! And my Spanish needs work because I just ordered a seven pack of beer. 😆
2. I had ceviche and 5 cheese pizza for dinner.
3. I miss my poodle 😔
YAY!!!!! And LOL on the beer count. It must be so fun there for you right now.
I love ceviche. One of my favorite things to eat, EVER.
I would miss my doggies too.
Mexico! wow!
Sounds warm! And tasty. 😉 Enjoy your trip! My folks are going to Cancun in a couple weeks. Sounds like a good time.
Better a 7 pack than a 5 pack! Where are you this time? How’s the book coming?
1. I am not in Mexico
2. I am hanging out with a 10 day old baby boy & it’s wonderful. This aft, I’m doing arts & crafts with 2 yr old grandson. 🙂
3. Reading old favourites – The Sex Surrogate, Driven Series by Bromberg, and some VIP & Stage Dive favourites.
Love holding the little babies! So comforting.
My Monday was great because my hubby and I started our Barre3 exercise program after a long break which we quit after we got Covid. Feels so good to be able to move again.
Mexico? I still think about Mujeres Island. We are nervous to fly to Europe but dreaming works!
I am so frustrated because Gold Lust (Sin Series Book 3)| by Aleatha Romig came out and wow can you believe there is a book 4 that was never mentioned? I am not buying this. I not buying this this. I am not going to buy this!!!
Letting you all know I am here. 🙂 I’m going through house-sale process this week and it was crazy intense and fast.
I’ll get back to my regular schedule soon. Today even . 😉
