Happy Friday!!!! Here are our Friday Finds (so far!!) and I’ll be adding more throughout the day as more bargains or recommendations come to light, so keep checking back.
Also… wanna get to know me better?
Eeeeeep!!! Willow Aster interviewed me for her podcast, and here it is!!! I was a bit terrified! LOL! It’s at times, cringeworthy (I sing) and hilarious, but mostly it was soooo fun and giggly!! Also… she called me (and this podcast) “Twisted Little Thing” <— Tee hee!!! You’ll see why (but most of you here probably already know this). 😛
Leslie M: Maryse, I loved the podcast. Not cringey and singing part was so funny!
Nay: Maryse–that podcast was great! Nothing cringeworthy about it, and you never told us you could sing–that part was really cute, and I admire you for putting yourself out there! Every time she asked you a question, I found myself trying to guess how you were going to answer.
Maryse: I was SO nervous, Nay. I was excited, and curious (I had NO idea what she’d ask) but I went with who I was and what I love, and it ended up being so fun!
Maria: Loved it!!! You singing was the absolute BEST!
Maryse: And by “the best” you mean the worst (but funny!!!!) LOL!!!!!! She blindsided me with that. And then I learned it wasn’t “Milo” it was “malo” which makes SO much more sense. 😉 *snort*
Penelope: Loved listening to this! I want some avocados! 😉
bev: Maryse you sound slightly southern. It was a great interview.But….um….we want avocados.
Maryse: OMG BEV!!! Do I really? My family tells me that! And I’m Canadian… that has been living in the South of the U.S. for 20 years. I HAVE AN ACCENT THAT’S NOT CANADIAN?????? *gasp*
Amy: I’ll have to listen to the interview when I get home since I don’t have headphones with me. But seriously, Willow Aster?? Willow Aster of In the Fields??? *thunk*

Lomile has a tumultuous sounding book question!!! Wow, I think this has been a book question previously (I’m going to backtrack and see if that answer is the same one she’s looking for – but if I can remember right, it wasn’t her ex-husband…), but in the meantime…
, so I’m intrigued if it will give me that same rush “when the infamous Jay “The Hurricane” Hamilton—one of the highest-ranking boxers at The Underground—labels her a ring rat, she writes him off as just another guy with an over-inflated ego…“),
