TGIF!

Another week has flown by! I can't believe we are already into February, time is going by so quickly!

 The Hubby and I have started bowling again. Our local bowling alley has a deal on Sunday's for $19.95 you get 2 hours on a lane. It's so much fun! 

 The Hubby is just so good at it. I really can't compete with his high games. He got a 248 the other day....really?!? You haven't bowled in a year and you come out with a 248? I will say that I got my all time high game of 160 the other day! Whoop, whoop!

 I am trying to convince the Hubby to do a Valentine's Day bowling event at our local bowling alley. It's some kind of Scotch Doubles tourney...the only problem is neither of us is very sure what that is or what to do!

We finished the basketball season this week. Now we just have the banquet and the Hubby will be done with 8th grade basketball. This year has worn me out.

 Right now I am looking into starting to make all my own baking mixes and products. I am just as guilty as anyone for walking into the grocery store and buying something because it's convenient. 

 However, if I just plan ahead I can make my own convenience food. I am hoping to start it at the end of the month. I am currently trying to cook our way through the pantry to start fresh. I found a great website to get ideas from, it's called Budget101.com. 

 One of my favorite ways to cook is turning on my music and singing away while I cook or bake. Here is one of my new favorite songs! It's Boyce Avenue doing a cover of Journey's "Faithfully".

We were watching The Office again the other night, so I just have to leave you with a Michael Scott quote. I know we all feel like this sometimes! Happy Friday!


Until next time,

Kara

Book & Movie Review- Molly's Game

Joe and I recently read the book Molly's Game. We decided we would read the book while we waited for the movie to come out on DVD. photo credit link It is hard to believe it was a true story and just not made up. I am not one who likes biographies or reading to "learn." I like a good dramatic up and down story and this fits into that category. It's an action packed book about poker, greed, and knowing who to trust.  Molly Bloom- photo credit link The book details Molly Bloom's rise to run a secret celebrity rich poker game in back rooms and fancy hotels. The book drops some big names that many will recognize from many movies we watch on the big screen. IMDb's description of the movie is, "The true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier, who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target." photo credit link I would highly recommend reading the book first, because the movie does not use names ...

Book Recommendations for October

Here are some recent books that I enjoyed. Mythos Academy Series- by Jennifer Estep I really enjoyed reading this young adult series. It incorporates action, adventure, romance, mythology, and mystery all into one high school! It's an easy read that keeps you wanting to know more.  picture source PLUS, it helped me answer a recent mythology Jeopardy question...Can we say invaluable information?!? First Frost is the first book in the series. Here is the description: I am Gwen Frost, and I have a Gypsy gift. It's called psychometry – that's a fancy way of saying that I see images in my head and get flashes of other people's memories off almost everything I touch, even guys. My gift makes me kind of nosy. Okay, okay, maybe a lot nosy—to the point of obsession sometimes. I want to know everything about everyone around me. But even I don't want to know the secrets my friend Paige is hiding or the terrible loss that will send me to a new school – Mythos Ac...

Book Recommendations for December!

I know, I know....it's been too long! But I am back with some book recommendations for that book lover in your life (just in time for Christmas)! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read. I just think it's so important to start kids at a small age of loving to read. I have a tub of all my childhood books. Many of them are from my great-grandma. She would get me a new book for my birthday, Christmas or special occasion. Many kids today are always on their phone and need a quick fix for their attention spans. However, a kid that reads can spend countless hours in fantasy lands, learning a new hobby, or having an adventure! For the adult book fans, I have some new books that I really enjoyed! Fever Series- Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning I started this book and was like where is this going?! But I kept reading and I ended up really enjoying the series.  source I enjoy fantasy books that just keep you guessing and this series really did that! It had mystery, adventure, he...
