1. Amazon Shopping
Did you get anything for Prime Day? I did the most random shopping! I had a few things on wishlists and saved in my cart just to see if the price dipped during the sales. Fortunately for me, quite a few things did. I stocked up on Liquid IV since it's my new obsession. I also grabbed a new pool game for when my niece visits, a lid organizer for our yeti cups, and a three-in-one charger for travel.
It was a actually a seemingly big shopping day for me, because not only did I do some online shopping - but I also visited a few stores in person. Mainly to do returns, but it was fun to try on a few things too. Is it any surprise I left J. Crew with a bag of tops?
2. Superman
Blake and I went to see Superman at an early screening with some friends on Tuesday! Our movie going experience wasn't the best....the only theater that was doing this early showing was the run-down one. We arrived, and they announced to the line that the A/C was broken in our theater!! It was not that bad though, and they gave us free drinks to make up for it. It did get quite warm toward the end, but no one left the movie because of it and that shows how great it was!! We are big fans of Superman. My love for it starting with Smallville in the early 2000s. This movie was just SO good. We loved it, and actually would love to go watch it again.
3. Bailey - This weeks high and low
Miss Bailey has been having seizures or seizure like episodes for the last few years. They've been few and far between, and of course we had been discussing it with our vet. It usually lasts for about 30 seconds, and then she's completely normal afterwards. Unfortunately, what went from random and periodic turned into every single day for the past week. We were finally able to get a seizure on video, and the vet was able to prescribe a medication. So far, it seems to be working! Pet worries are a specific kind of stress, I feel like if you know, you know. Bailey is 15 now, and realistically we know we won't have forever with her - but we want her to be completely comfortable and stress free!
4. Feeling Out of the Routine
After being out of town last weekend, and diving straight back into work, I feel like we didn't get into our routine properly this week. I haven't cooked all week, and that has been a huge source of feeling out of sorts. I've Pinned a few new recipes, and I hope to get back to that, starting this weekend! All summer has just felt off. I spent the majority of June sick, and I only just now feel kind of like myself. I'm very eager to be back to normal!
5. Reading: Finding Grace
My Book of the Month selection for July is Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild. It's a debut, and I chose an audiobook this month. I haven't finished yet, so I'm not sure if I recommend it or not (there is definitely some content!) but HOLY MOLY the end of chapter one had me SHOCKED. Goosebumps over my entire body. I have never been that blindsided by a book.
Book of the Month is an extra in my budget that I always consider canceling - because I get so many free books with the library after all. But, I have to say, I've found some 10/10 books with BOTM. Ministry of Time, The Wishing Game, Flicker in the Dark, and First Lie Wins to name a few. If you want to give BOTM a try, I have a referral link for a $5 hard back!
Happy Friday!
