My brother got me this LEGO set and I was stoked!

All of the bags out of the box.

All of the LEGO’s out of the bags and in one big pile as only true LEGO builders do!

The finished, and absolutely adorable, tiny plants!

I spread them out amongst my bookshelves that don’t currently have decorations on them and I am so happy!!

I got more presents, of course, but I’ll tell you about those next week.

Ciao!

We celebrated Christmas last week and it was awesome!!

I got several books, candy, miniverse kits (my box has begun!!), Stargate audiobooks and more!!

I’ve read 2 of the books already because they were My Little Pony books, and I’ll get a few pics for next week too.

However!

I also spent $200, I’d saved last year, to buy 2 1/2 big boxes worth of toys from work!! They were on sale at such a great price and it was Barbie’s and LEGO’s which don’t go on sale often!

Toys for Tots is off to a great start this year!

I’m going to try and actually keep track of how much I spend and save this year. Song with the Rewards money I’ll have at the end of the year, I’m hoping to get another few big boxes full!

Anyways, I’ll have to catch y’all up on my plans for this year because it won’t be reading like last year.

Mwahahaha!

Laters peeps, stay warm!

I’m sure I’ve mentioned I’ve been sick the last couple weeks. I am now in the home stretch, but that still means I’m hacking up phlegm.

Oh joy.

Anyways, I don’t have a post this week. I’ll have one for next week though because we’re celebrating Christmas this Wednesday!

Have a good week everyone!

Welcome to 2024!!!

I’m so excited!

We haven’t celebrated Christmas (I mentioned it last week I believe), but we should be doing that next week and then my birthday party the week after!!

Month of prezzies here I come!!

No post this week other than I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!! (we aren’t celebrating just yet, but I’ll post when we do!).

Toys for Toys is back in Memphis!!!!!!!

LOOK AT ALL THE BOXES OF TOYS!!

This years Marine Toys for Tots donation haul was fabulous!! I got 6 boxes full and still had some bigger box toys left over!

I don’t usually get the bigger toys because even on sale they tend to be expensive.

Even better this year!!

A coworker gave me 6 Lego sets and some My Little Pony toys to donate too!!

This was a fantastic year and I’m excited for next year because my Rewards from B&N are stacking up already! I’m hoping to have at least $100 in Rewards for next Christmas!

Have a great week everyone!!

Atlantis again!

I know last week was kind of a weird one. I was tired but still wanted to update on what’s going on.

This time will be short again but definitely Atlantis.

Pride of the Genii is what the Genii renamed the Alteran ship and we all know that technology kind of has a mind of its own.

Not AI, but something like a presence. (Wraith Hiveships also have this and I’ll have to look deeper on the next read to see if there’s an answer)

We know Sheppard and Lorne felt it, and gave the ship its due respect. I’m curious (again will have to be more careful when I read these parts) if it was always reluctant to work for them?

In the sense that it’s currently sluggish and not responding as quickly to the Genii, however that could be because the gene is deteriorating in their bodies so it doesn’t recognize them anymore.

It could also be because the Genii don’t exactly treat it the same way Lorne and Sheppard did.

I’m excited!

Almost done with my backlog and then onto rereading some of my all time favorite series and authors!!

Y’all know how it’s taking me so long with this last book? It’s because I’ve been reading more of my backlog of books this year instead and trying to get them done.

My backlog has been taking up the larger of my two 3-shelf bookshelves for a while and I’d like it back for my Stargate books. Mostly because I’m out of space on the smaller one, but only have a few of the SG-1 titles so far.

Good news is I only have 17 books left (not counting my currently reading book) and then I should be able to get rid of the smaller bookshelf. It’s taking up a good bit of my closet and I’d like that back so I can get a more comfy reading chair, but not have to worry about bashing my skull in when I stand up.

I may end up getting a corner bookshelf from IKEA for my Stargate books and paraphernalia if my 3-shelf bookshelf isn’t big enough… cause I also don’t have all the audiobooks yet.

I’m seriously thinking of a reread (again) when I’m done with my backlog.

Anyways!

Did I tell y’all I’m rewatching SG-1 with my mother? I cannot wait until we get to Atlantis! So far she’s liking it!

See ya later!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! 🦃 🎉 🥧

Have a fantastic day!

I’ve gotten to the part in ‘Pride of the Genii’ where they realize they’ve been infected by something that’s deactivating the ATA gene.

I think it was a natural thing they picked up on Teos but I’ll find out soon.

What’s interesting is that I feel like the Genii would have studied whatever it is and then messed with it to try and use it as a weapon. Definitely against Atlantis, but I think they’d use it against everyone else too so they wouldn’t have any competition anymore.

After all, if no one else can use Alteran technology then they’ve already won right?

It would have been cool to see if that’s where they’d have taken this incident.

Unfortunately this is the last book written in the Legacy series so we’ll never know.

Happy reading and have a happy Thanksgiving this week!!
