TGIF


Thank goodness it’s Friday! For a short week, it has felt very long.

Work has been busy and stressful. I don’t mind being busy but we’re getting ready for a couple client events and a new operating system.

I did finish a book this week that I really enjoyed. (Review to come)

We don’t have much planned for the weekend and I’m quite excited about that.

What are you up to this weekend?

Cover Reveal-Champagne Widows


 Synopsis: 

Champagne, France, 1800. Twenty-year-old Barbe-Nicole inherited Le Nez (an uncanny sense of smell) from her great-grandfather, a renowned champagne maker. She is determined to use Le Nez to make great champagne, but the Napoleon Code prohibits women from owning a business. When she learns her childhood sweetheart, François Clicquot, wants to start a winery, she marries him despite his mental illness.

Soon, her husband’s tragic death forces her to become Veuve (Widow) Clicquot and grapple with a domineering partner, the complexities of making champagne, and six Napoleon wars, which cripple her ability to sell champagne. When she falls in love with her sales manager, Louis Bohne, who asks her to marry, she must choose between losing her winery to her husband, as dictated by Napoleon Code, or losing Louis.

In the ultimate showdown, Veuve Clicquot defies Napoleon himself, risking prison and even death.

Movies on Monday

We watched a couple of movies this weekend.



My thoughts on these:
Raya-I’m glad I watched it but don’t think I would seek it out to watch again.
Cinderella-well…. I wasn’t impressed! I felt like they had a pretty good cast but they didn’t give them much to work with for a script. So it felt like a bad musical to me.

Have you watched anything lately?

Sunday Post



I’m joining Caffeinated Reader this week for Sunday Post. Feel free to join in too!

LAST WEEK:
It was an interesting week last week. Our air conditioning in the house went out on Monday night. It’s such an old system that parts have been a struggle to get. Thank goodness you hasn’t been real hot! 

Our daughter had her wisdom teeth taken out on Friday. She’s pretty tough and been handling her pain pretty well. 

Other than that, it’s been work and laundry. Nothing real exciting!

CURRENTLY READING:
Audio:

Physical book:

I’m enjoying both of them.

CURRENTLY WATCHING:



I’m hoping for an uneventful week ahead.

Happy Sunday!

Thankful on Thursday

Happy Thursday!

I hope you have had a few things to be thankful for this week. I know I have.

*The weather has cooled off after a sweltering weekend, last weekend.

*Our air conditioning waited until after the heat broke to crap out 

*Being contacted by an author to read and review her upcoming book. (Watch for a review in October)

*My husband helping me relax and find the humor in things the past couple of weeks.

What are you thankful for?
