My birthday was last week and I spent it eating and reading!

What a fantastic two days it was!

I haven’t actually celebrated my birthday cause I can’t do that until we celebrate Christmas (rules are rules), but I always ask off for my birthday and this year I happened to have two days off.

I got some pastries from a local bakery, some BBQ and mac & cheese, Olive Garden, and snacks from a Japanese shop!

I then spent the two days reading so many volumes of Naruto!

😁😂

I’ve watched the anime so many times and didn’t realize I hadn’t read past volume 20ish. I actually decided to read it in December and just read 5 volumes at a time and then one of my owned books, but the story is just so good!

I may have maxed out my library card…and used my mama’s too.

I may also have gone to a second library system to check out the few copies the first didn’t have available.

It was time well spent! (I’m not quite done yet, but almost there!)

Enjoy the week, stay warm and keep praying!

Speaking of my FAVORITE holiday!

We haven’t celebrated yet. I blame hockey.

Just kidding!

We just decided to celebrate later, so I’ll post pics when we do of course.

In other news!

I started reading the Naruto manga. I thought I had read it, but I guess I didn’t get too far. I’ve definitely seen the anime several times!

With 72ish volumes in the main series, I’ll meet this years reading goal before the middle of the year!

Till next time, find an old comfort read and enjoy! (Again!)

We had a BIG after Christmas sale at work over the weekend and also had a call out today…

Needless to say, I am way too tired to think of a post this week.

Sorry!

I have a cold.

Is bad.

Ttynw (talk to y’all next week).

Have a Merry Christmas!!

I first had onigiri in Las Vegas from a place called Pullman Bread and it was DELICIOUS!!

Problem is, though there is a large Asian population in my area, most of the food is ramen and dessert based.

Which is also delicious, but not onigiri.

When I found a cute rice ball mold I decided to try it out myself.

It’s hard y’all.

The rice is SO sticky to be ridiculous!

Thus the mold.

(The rice was still sticky!)

My brother was willing to make rice and fry up some spam on the stovetop a couple nights ago so I could try it out.

You see the results?!

Not necessarily pretty and the taste wasn’t the same, but for a first time attempt it wasn’t bad!

I didn’t season the rice outside of salt and it sucked the flavor out of the spam pretty quickly, but for a late night snack (didn’t get home from work until after 10) it was a solid 7/10!

I’ll keep y’all updated on any further attempts!

Stay safe and warm everyone and don’t forget to pray!

I have doctor appointments the next two weeks.

This week involves needles.

Pray for me y’all cause I’m a wimp!

See ya next week!

If I survive the needles. 😂

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving everyone!!

I am coming down with a wicked cold no doubt brought on by the cold front coming.

Lol!

Ttyl and do your best to stay healthy! (And non-coldy!)

I can’t remember what of my saved pics I actually posted about to date. I’m going to have to go through everything and figure it out before posting more or risk reposting!

I did a thing…

In my defense, it was hot chocolate themed!

I once again forgot to take pics during the process, but this was so fun!

They have bigger and more expensive sets which is why I didn’t seriously consider it at first, but this one was much cheaper (and smaller!).

Until next week, stay warm everyone!

It’s totally a lol situation though because I forgot so completely what day it was that it was already late afternoon when I realized I hadn’t made a post for last week.

At that point it was too embarrassing to do anything about it so I just left it.

In the interim though I found out that MiniBrands has an advent calendar with their series 2 books this year!

It a Christmas gift of course because of the moratorium on buying tiny things, but I’m so excited!

It’ll be fun to see if it’s the entire set or if they added some of the extra non-book things too. There’s 24 items ofc so it could go either way.

Fair warning!

I already said I didn’t actually need to open 1 a day until Christmas. Unless I find calendars for the peeps too, so we can all have fun, it’s not really fair to get presents before they do.

We shall see!

Have a fabulous week everyone and don’t forget to start early shopping!
