I'm back!

Hi all!!

What a busy last few months.  I do apologize for the radio silence on this side of my blog.  This will be a short, but sweet, update on what's been going on in my life since October 2018 (Eek!)

New addition!
- We're expecting a little boy in July.  This is the main reason that I've been MIA from blogging.  I've been both tired and nauseous - my favorite combo of feelings (ha ha ha)
. My body aches and I'm always eating - always. If you see me without food in my hands, then there is a really good chance that I'm on my way for food.

Getting use to having a caffeine intake limit has been an adjustment, to say the least.  Coffee makes my stomach fluttery.  But, I can tolerate tea daily.  And treat myself to a coffee or latte on occasion. I've been told that my favorite mugs are making there way to the back of the cabinet because they aren't being used as much.  Heartbreaking, I know (lol 🤣)

Christmas/New Years Eve
 - Everything went well.  Lots of family, food and rest.  Oh, and I caught the lovely head cold that was making the rounds, which was super fun as I was transition from the first to the second trimester (note: read the last sentence with sarcasm - lol).  We didn't have much snowfall, which means that we were able to get out around and take in everything that we wanted to pack into the holiday season without setbacks.

Goosebumps Book Club (#GBCGhostNextDoor on Twitter)
 - We've been moving forward with the book club on Mandi's YouTube page. At the moment, there are 17 episodes, which includes on bonus episode which she just released as well. We just posted The Return of the Mummy.  Our schedule for the next few months have been released on Twitter, just search using the Twitter handle above. We have an upcoming announcement, so be sure to check out  #GBCGhostNextDoor on Twitter in the next few days.

Podcasts
 - I've been enjoying the following mystery/murder/horror podcasts recently:
* note: language and topics in the above podcasts may not be for sensitive listeners. The 3rd is more of a comedy than the other two.

And that's a wrap on the updates.

Later Days!

Sci-Fi on the Rock

Hi folks, Last weekend myself and Mandi attended, and hosted an event and panel at this years Sci-Fi on the Rock  for our Welcome to Deadhouse  Goosebumps book club ( #GBCGhostNextDoor on Twitter). This adventure all started with suggestions from our spouses. So, we came up with a few ideas, went through the application process and waited. We are new to the event and panelist, and our YouTube book club is under a year old - so we figured that we didn't have much of a shot of being accepted.  Then the email came. We were accepted as panelist. For both ideas that we submitted.  Oh snap! Oh snap! OH SNAP! Planning the panels was super fun.  We love the Goosebumps series and we were able to create a plan that we were both happy with.  The "Reader Beware, You Choose the Scare!" event was first - it was the first evening of the event, and scheduled to be 2 hours long. Here we read through the Diary of the Mad Mummy, and backtracked 4 times to get 4 diff...

October Staycation

This past week my hubby and I had a staycation.  We love Fall - and it's for this reason that we always take a week or so off to enjoy it. During our week off we gorged on Little Caesars Stuffed Crazy Bread and Cinnamon rolls (nom nom nom carbs lol). Purchased a few new aquarium inhabitants, including 3 snails, 3 Odessa Barbs, 3 Skirt Tailed Tetra Glowfish, and a Kheli Loach. So far, one of the Tinfoil Barbs has tried to immediately pick up and eat the loach, and tried to pull a snail off the glass of the aquarium. We are doing fish counts daily until the Tinfoil Barbs lose interest. We also took a drive through Swift Current to Marystown to do some sightseeing. Along this route are a few lookouts.  We did stop at one of them, however, the binoculars that were stationed here were broken (maybe sandblasted by the wind sweeping over the area?)   There seems like there is nothing special about this area.  But, this is the only area of thi...

Maternity Leave - thus far

Life with a newborn is busy, but honestly - I thought that I would be busier. The weather this Fall has been amazing! It's making is easier to get out with the little guy - walking, shopping, playgroup and movies. There is so much to do and it's how I break up the days. We're grateful that there is a family resource center close by that has free drop-in activities for infants, toddlers and up. Meeting new moms who have a little one close to the age of mine is fantastic. Aside from socializing with other adults (which you miss when not going to work daily), you get to ask questions, share experiences, and get to know people that you may be seeing throughout the school year when the littles are older.  And, our movie theater has baby and parent movies every week. There are two new movie offerings each Wednesday morning, and the movie starts at a decent time - which allows time to get me and the little ready for the day and out the door.  Maternity leave here in Ca...
