Bookish (and not so bookish) Thoughts

Bookish and Not So Bookish Thoughts is a weekly blogging event hosted by Bookishly Boisterous. It allows book bloggers (and non-book bloggers) to write about pretty much anything, bookish or otherwise (i.e. share exciting plans for the weekend, rants on things encountered during the week, etc.) Head over to her blog to link-up. 1. I finally finished my CE classes. I'm glad we only have to do them every couple of years. Granted, they're not too much work, but, just to let you know, insurance is generally not very exciting, and neither is 4 hours on "insuring the home business." 2. Friday we went to see the Wheeling Nailers hockey game. A friend of David's won tickets but couldn't use them, so he gave them to us. It was a fun game and we actually won. It was Marvel night, so our team had Captain America jerseys and the other guys had Iron Man, which was cool. 3 I go a new car Saturday....

My co-worker's daughter made cookies and sent some for me - Halloween sugar cookies and a chocolate chip cookie. Isn't that sweet? Wish she would teach Amber how to make them. I'm not much of a baker myself. 2. We went to the high school football game Friday. Our team won, which was nice. I'm not sure what their record is now. Amber's in the band, which is why we go, but I have to admit the games just seem to keep getting longer and more boring. 3. David and I are going to a wedding in Lancaster, PA in October and we just made our hotel reservation. Apparently we...

It was a busy week this week and the fact that David had a cold for most of it didn't help. I may have given him the cold, but where it takes me 2-3 days to get over it, it takes him a full week. 2. David and I went bowling on Friday evening. The high school football game was away and I didn't feel like making the drive. We each won two games, but I had the high score for the night, 147. 3. We participated in the AHN Catch for Cancer on Saturday morning. It was to raise awareness of the importance of prostate screenings. It was also...

My brother and his family were visiting this weekend. I didn't get many pictures, but this is his oldest with the second-oldest peeking over her shoulder. They are both cuties. The two youngest are twins about 6 months old, but I failed as an aunt and didn't get any photos of them. 2. I've been doing pretty good with the paleo challenge when we eat at home. I've been giving myself leeway when we're out though. I can't go to an Italian restaurant and not have spaghetti or pass up my mom's wonderful baked beans. 3. By the way, if you ever visit Kenyon College, the Village Inn restaurant is...

I played in the Alumni Band at the high school football game on Friday. It was a lot of fun. Here's a picture of me hanging out on the sideline (I'm the short one wearing boots) during practice and one of the alumni and the high school band on the field. 2. I had to get tires on my car this week. It's particularly annoying because my lease is up in December, but I just couldn't put it off. One of them had a bulge in it and David thought it might blow if I took it on the highway. 3. We're going back to visit Kenyon again this week....

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know Amber won first place in the art show she entered. It's acrylic paint on canvas. 2. RIP XII started on Sept 1. Horror's not my thing, but my to-read list is pretty full of mysteries. 3. Amber started school this week. She'd didn't let me take a first day of school photo, though. Their football team has won the first two games. Friday the Alumni band is playing for pre-game; David and I are both playing, so we'll see how that goes. I think it should be fun. We have practice in the last afternoon, then a pizza and pop socializing time, followed...
