THREE THINGS:
1.) I eat breakfast burritos sideways. Like corn on the cob. Trying to cut the “carbs” by not eating the ends. 😉
2.) I had another fun weekend by the poolside. Heated pool and it’s not too cold yet so it was a super fun day.
3.) I’m hungry for another burrito!

1. I finished The Christmas Bookshop and loved it. Taking me much longer to read these days with the holidays + life. Have now jumped back into my mafia book. Am really into it. Just feeling overwhelmed with the amount of unfinished books piling up and of course I want to read even more! My mail lady came when it was still dark this morning with a headlamp to deliver my book of the month box. She’s a ⭐️!
2. It’s going to be 20degrees tomorrow. Coldest day of the season so far. It’s so windy today I walked several houses down to collect my recycling bin.
3. I am most disorganized in gift giving this year and am at the “oh well” stage in my worrying about it. Things will be uneven likely and, eh. 🤷♀️
It’s been really warm here. I want some winter weather!
It’s been warm here too… I want to smell the wood burning cold air.
1. I just finished The Wrong Heart by Jennifer Hartmann and loved it. She seems to be a good fit for me. Starting her Still Beating tonight, which has a kidnapping theme. I think I may like it even better!
2. I binged MTV’s The Challenge all weekend and got absolutely nothing done. 🙄
3. I get my booster shot tomorrow! And Chinese food! (I’m really excited about that second part!)
I have been watching The Challenge for many many years. It’s so sad that we don’t see the good competitors play like they used to. Now they just do anything to stay out of eliminations and it’s boring. All-Stars is better, but I read that they are having a hard time finding enough competitors that pass the physical test and might have to cancel. In season 3 they had to include people like Jordan and Kayla. The last two seasons of Survivor were MUCH better than The Challenge.
We just started the one from 2020 right before covid (I think it’s called Madness). Several of the competitors are from other reality competition shows like Amazing Race and Big Brother, but they’re not as tough as the Challenge vets. The Challenge vets (who are spending every waking minute of their normal lives training) are hardcore! Before this we binged War of the Worlds 2 and that was a blast. I love to hate Cara Maria and Jordan and Tori’s engagement was adorable. And I don’t care what anyone says, CT is still dreamy! 😆
Cara Maria is very good, but she was going through a tough time in her last season and I don’t think she will come back for a very long time or ever. Maybe on All-Stars. Jordan said he won’t do any season with Tori after they broke up. That’s why he is in All-Stars. CT is dreamy! And what a character development! He used to fight with everyone, hurt some people badly, lost his brother (he was shot), watched Diem fight against cancer and pass away, got married, had a kid, got a dad body, started training again and now he is winning everything again.
But that what I’m talking about too, Cara Maria, CT, Bananas, Wes..they are all amazing competitors but we hardly ever saw them win anything because they won’t go to eliminations and, when they do, they make sure is against someone wayyy weaker than them. Is very smart on their part, but makes it boring to watch.
I didn’t know they broke up!! But after he yelled at her for losing to Jenna in the season we’re watching, I can maybe see why. I fell down a serious rabbit hole tonight playing catch-up! Luckily, I don’t think I saw any spoilers because I’m still 2-3 seasons to the end.
Chinese and Italian is my FAVORITE!!!
