Welcome back to Wednesday Links! March is turning out to be a busy month for me, especially with the lead up to my international vacation next month. Also, can anyone make a compelling case for keeping Daylight Saving Time? To cheer my partner up this week, I made them their favorite dessert: tiramisu. If you ever want a quick tiramisu recipe, I highly recommend this one! How’s your March so far? Busy or slow going? … Continue reading Links: Musicals, Rankings, & More→
Hey, ho! Let’s go (read some Wednesday Links)! I had a big productive weekend and I’m still riding that high or I was…until I started getting the telltale pre-period discomfort. Welp, it was nice while it lasted. Speaking of periods, I posted about this on the SBTB Instagram. I discovered the Menstruation Crustacean in a local store and then discovered there are two more varieties: a crab and a shrimp. I think shape-wise, I’d prefer … Continue reading Links: Libraries, Rodeos, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Did you know the makers of Wingspan came out with a new game last month called Wyrmspan? My partner and I played it over the weekend and loved it! If you’re familiar with Wingspan, I’d say the games are 75-80% similar. However, there are some rule changes and new mechanics to Wyrmspan. I personally like this base game better than the base game of Wingspan. If you’ve played it, I’d also love to hear your … Continue reading Links: Home Decorating, Madam C.J. Walker, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I had my Romance Novel + Cheese Night on Friday and it went really well! Keep your eyes peeled for a write-up soon on how it went and what the yummy pairings were. I’m still a little sick so my partner and I definitely put a pause on any Valentine’s Day celebrations. We even had a fancy dinner reservations planned, which we wound up cancelling in favor of eating chips … Continue reading Links: I Know the Holidays Are Over→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! Romantasy is inescapable; sorry, folks! If you remember last week or maybe even the week before where I mentioned my partner was sick…well, it finally claimed me. Boo! Hiss! I started feeling a cough on Thursday and I’m definitely over it. Please send me all of your good, healing vibes! … If you watched the Super Bowl, you might have seen that Michael Cera is the new spokesperson for CeraVe. … Continue reading Links: The Word of the Day is Romantasy→
Welcome back to Links! I know I just did one of these last week, but it has felt much longer. Maybe it’s because I’ve been quite busy. I also went to the mall over the weekend. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been shopping, let alone an actual mall. I know TikTok has been abuzz with the tweens invading Sephora for skincare brands and I can confirm that it’s very real. As someone who … Continue reading Links: Cheese-Making, Fast Cats, & More→
Welcome welcome! How are we this week? My partner went on a week-long work trip and has come back with a nasty sickness. The sounds they make in the middle of the night as they’re hacking up something in their body is truly the stuff of nightmares. And, considering that all the menthol cough drops have been sold out everywhere, I’m going to assume it’s going around. Be well out there everyone! I made them … Continue reading Links: Hunger Games, More Awards, & More→
Welcome back to Links! I don’t know if it’s the fact that January and February in New England is unpleasant, but I am so sleepy and all I want to do is nap beneath my electric blanket. At first, my New Year’s resolution was to complete a puzzle a month. I thought that’d be easy to do! However, the lighting in my dining room is pretty dim and poor. It makes doing a puzzle anytime … Continue reading Links: Horses, the Hugo Awards, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I enjoyed the long weekend in the States and got some great reading done. I posted up on the couch with my wonderful electric blanket while it snowed outside. I can’t remember the last time I did that. I’m sure I was also motivated by the fact that Final Fantasy XIV servers were down for an entire 24-hours and I needed to fill my time somehow. Did any of you have … Continue reading Links: Terry Pratchett, Bonsai, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! The Boston area had its first real snowfall! Yay! My only complaint is that most of it happened overnight, so I couldn’t cuddle up on the couch with my heated blanket and look wistfully out the window as the snow fell. Aw well, maybe next time. I moved to Boston from Florida over a decade ago and the snow still feels so magical to me. The same with mountains. Austria … Continue reading Links: Bread, Reading Recs, & More→
Welcome back, everyone! It’s our first links of 2024! How are we all feeling? For New Year’s Eve, my partner and I attend a prix fixe, 5-course dinner at around 5:30 and then chilled out and played video games until right before midnight. We watched the ball drop and were in bed by 12:15am! Some of my Christmas items were a lovely, plush electric blanket. Seriously, it’s a godsend. I also received tickets to see … Continue reading Links: Spiders, Home Alone, & More→
