What’s on your list?

Okay, I’m not talking about your Christmas list this time, I’m talking about your “streaming” list…Netflix, Amazon Prime, Paramount, etc…

After I was divorced, and in my apartment, I found that I had time for some binge watching on those rainy days…or late nights. I enjoyed several shows at different times. Virgin River, Bridgerton, You’re Dead to Me, Succession, Schitt’s Creek, Nurse Jackie and Yellowstone are just a few of my favorites.

Watching shows that are streaming is a big pastime for Mom and me. Currently, we are watching McCleod’s Daughters on Tubi (this is a free streaming service, but it does have some limited commercials). Although a long series would normally not be a good choice for Mom, this show with its eight seasons is a winner! There is love and romance, strong women, troublemakers, and some hot Australian men! I love a good trashy show, but this one is NOT trashy but it is great! You should try it!

We are in the beginning of season seven and I’m on the lookout for another good one to watch. Can you help? Mom likes the unpredictable but not overly violent. She likes historical stories, like The Crown, but nothing too documentary like. She likes the ones that have the warning at the top…the ones that are PG+. She’s a fan of the British shows like Fr. Brown, and Doc Martin. We watched Dear John and it was too predictable for her. We watched Nurse Ratchet and it was too creepy for her, although she couldn’t stop watching. She’s not a fan of comedies like Miss Maisel. Sometimes I don’t know what she will like.

So, I’m reaching out for your help! If you have watched something you really liked, send it my way! We are open to suggestions!

On a totally different subject…I’m also going to ask for some easy dinner suggestions! It seems as though I’m in a rut. We like it all (except I’m not a fan of liver or coconut!). Crockpot meals are great, but I need more than a roast or chili or taco chicken in there! Casseroles work too!

We share cooking around here and we do our planning on Saturday/Sunday for the upcoming week. It makes life easy for sure, but seems like we are stuck with the same things and it’s time for some changes! Your help would be welcome!

Finally, I want you to know I have an appointment with a new hairdresser on November 2…still a few weeks away but anxious to give it a try!! You know I’ll be posting pictures (or not!) once I finish up!

Duty calls, so I’ll check out! I’ll be watching for your “get out of the rut” dinner suggestions as well as some good TV streaming selections! Have a great rest of your week!!! xoxoxxo

  Choosing Eros…        Today, I’m going to share some thoughts about a book I’ve read in the past couple of weeks. I have been trying to read more…not just People Magazine or the AARP newsletter but real books. I have tried to incorporate reading 30 minutes a day, at least. Sometimes, I totally exceed that but sometimes, my eyes get too heavy for reading. However, it’s much better than it used to be and happily, I’m enjoying my reading time. The book I want to share with you today is Choosing Eros , by Julie Hagerty. Julie was a teacher at MND and I worked with her for the few years I was there. I believe my Katie had her for a class or two but I didn’t know Julie as well, until I was working there. Julie was kind and with an Irish brogue, she could charm everyone in her path. While I was at Mt. Notre Dame, Julie wrote a book. This book was a tribute, a memoir of her life with her husband, who was significantly older than her and soon, she would fi...

THE LAST WEDNESDAY of the YEAR!! Good grief!! It’s nearly 11pm, on Wednesday. Once again, my days are so messed up! With the holidays falling on the weekend, I haven’t been able to keep the days straight! However, I do know that today is December 29 and there are no more Wednesdays in 2021! WOW, just WOW! I decided it’s probably update time, and this time, maybe my look back at life as I have known it in 2021! *Last years holidays were different, and this year’s holidays were different too. Sadly, Covid was a part of each year and it is my holiday wish that next year…we can get back to our traditions! *June 2021 marked the one-year anniversary of my arrival back in Louisville. It also marked the four-year mark of my divorce being final, and yet, I didn’t have a meltdown. Although I’m still trying to map out my “new” chapter, it is easier. *August 2021 I celebrated one year at a job that I really like! I feel so fortunate that I got the parttime work that gives me a purpose ...

Love is Love! This past weekend was one full of extraordinary love. Two people who are very special to me joined their hands in marriage.   I couldn’t be happier for these two guys.   In a world where it is a struggle to find kindness and good deeds, this past weekend, there was kindness and joy in a room full of quite the mixture of people. I was part of a same sex marriage ceremony.   Whether you agree or disagree with this or don’t understand, you would not be able to deny the love that filled the room.   It was magical and quite honestly, it’s hard to find the right words to describe it.  I felt that my heart could explode! The story of these two goes back thirty years.   It is a story that would make a good book, or movie because the seed for this love was planted, but did not flourish until just a little over two years ago. For some people, love is never found.   For others, love comes more than once.   For these two, I...
