Welcome to Building the Book Pile!
Good Morning!
I hope everyone had a lovely week and weekend up to this point!
Here is my weekly recap:
Monday- Thursday : I was in the office for work Mon-Thurs this week and it was pretty relaxed. I had a number of meetings and we watched some Cricket IPL - each of my teammates picked a team after March Madness brackets when bad and we have been competing internally with a sport we all just learned. My team is not doing well. On Thursday evening, we went out for drinks with some of my partners friends, it was a fun time but we got home later than anticipated... and forgot to drop my car off at the garage...
Friday: I was WFH but needed to get up early with my partner to do and drop that car off. I just needed an inspection, so nothing crazy. It got done. The day was full of chores and emails and the sun was out which was really nice. Then when we picked up the car in the evening we stopped by our local pub for dinner.
Saturday: We had so many errands to run this weekend, the first stop - our local United Ag, to buy a mower. We have had 3 used (like buy off FB marketplace used) ride mowers and I am so tired of them lasting a year and breaking bc they are so old, so we bit the bullet and bought new FINALLY this year. ...MY mower should be dropped off next week, which is good because it looks like the lawn needs it. After that we popped over to Hobby Lobby and Runnings, for some art supplies for my partners next class and for some treats for the chickens and grabbed Chipotle for lunch (it is my favorite!). In the evening, my hubs hosted a Zoom art party for me (my bday is Tuesday) and my family and friends all came and we painted/ drew and had a blast!
Sunday - Since yesterday was so packed....today, I think we will head to the grocery store and I plan to read for as much of the day as I can. I have 2 books to wrap up if I want my TBR to stay on track for the month. I have been slacking. I also signed up for JIAM 2025 Audiobook challenge for June... I have quite a few audiobooks stacking up and would love to have a designated time to bounce through them 😊
How was your week last week, any plans for this week?
Linking up this week with the Caffeinated Reviewer and her Sunday Post series.
