This week is one of my favorite weeks of the year. That’s right–spring cleanup! I don’t know how I always have stuff to put out, but here we are. I started putting stuff out over the weekend, and there were just a few items left when I left for work this morning. By the time I got home from work, everything was gone. That’s the first time that has ever happened. I must have had some great trash this year!
make your bed
This book was ok, but I can’t say I took anything away from it. The book was based on a commencement speech made by a former Navy SEAL, so it was heavy on armed forces stuff (and how they can apply to everyone). But the advice was pretty basic–stuff like “never quit,” “life’s not fair,” etc.
celebrate good times
Today, I cooked for Mother’s Day/Jake’s birthday. Among other things, we had ribs from the smoker. Yum! It was just the two of us and my parents, as my brother had to work today. Given that, we all went to dinner at Rizzo’s last night so everyone could be together.
nonnas
This was a story about a man who opens a restaurant that uses actual Italian grandmothers as the chefs. It was inspired by a true story.
My rating: 3.5/5
the fall guy
This movie was loosely based on the ’80s TV show of the same name. It is an action rom-com starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. It started pretty strong but got a bit convoluted by the end.
My rating: 3.5/5
