Hi friends! I sorta forgot I intended to write this newsletter semi-weekly again, so here are a few quick thoughts before I head off to sleep. I have to work tomorrow for the first time in 9 days and it feels like even longer!
Watching: As a long-time fan of the Happier in Hollywood podcast, it has been so fun to see Fantasy Island come to life! (The podcast hosts are the head TV writers for the new version of the show.) I had literally never seen a single episode of the original show so I didn’t have any preconceived notions, but it is really fun to see how the show plays with reality and fantasy each week. The 2-hour Christmas special that came out just a few days before Christmas was a real treat!
Listening: Sob… one of my favorite podcasts is coming to an end. 10 Things to Tell You is such a smart, thoughtful listen each week. She has great book recommendations and covers a wide range of topics. She also wrote a book!
Reading: I just finished The Reading List, a Christmas gift from my mom. It is such a sweet story — wonderful for people who love books and libraries! This would be a great book club book.
Planning: Oh, you know me and the New Year’s Resolutions… I always have more great ideas than I can reasonably expect to carry through with. Maybe by next week I’ll have settled on my “22 for 2022” and I will give you an update!
Until then… may you bravely withstand the January onslaught of unhealthy diet culture, may your wool socks and hats be cozy, and may your new puppies chew only their designated chew toys… sigh.
