#friday things

To sacrifice for the better good, I ate a Happy Meal for lunch today because I wanted the toy and the actual box the meal came in. Why? It’s going in the time capsule for my soon to be 1-year old nephew. He’ll get to open it when he turns 18.

Of course, I didn’t have to eat the hamburger, fries, and apple slices, nor did I have to drink the chocolate milk. But, that’s all I’m gonna say about that.

I just read:

I enjoy the character Holly. I first met her in The Outsider. I’m waiting for the book Mr. Mercedes from the library. This is the book where Stephen King first introduces Holly. So far, I’ve read the books out of order. But I won’t any more after Mr. Mercedes.

I finished reading Holly in 2 days. The story was creepy and sad and made me angry. It kept me awake at night. If you read it or have already read it, let me know what you think.

I’m still reading The Killing Floor (Reacher). I didn’t realize this book was what the first season of Reacher was about. I like to read a book before I watch its movie. So it’s been a slow read. Btw, I found out how Lee Child came up with the name Reacher, which I found both amusing and a bit clever.

I’m going to have dinner with the kid and grandkid tonight. Ravioli is on the menu with salad and crusty bread. I’m bringing a pie. It’ll be good to see the girls and Rogan.

Gotta run! Work!

Friday morning recap. Emily and I went to school to watch Maddie get an award. I love how Maddie is still so excited to see me when I am on campus.

Emily and I had a coffee date after, and I am hanging on to having one last baby at home with us. I am currently obsessed with oat milk in my coffee and she is obsessed with thinking she is also drinking coffee.

Who can relate?
