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!

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...

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...

Harry Potter - Which house do you belong in?

Consider this a heads-up.  This is a Harry Potter related post.  I'm a fan, a late-to-the-party fan, but a fan all the same. I didn't grow-up reading the novels, or watching the movies.  All of my Harry Potter experience is from adulthood. (This post contains affiliated links.  Meaning that I may collect a share of the sales or other compensation from the Amazon links on this page.)   I'm since read all of the novels (bought the pretty box set to display on my bookshelf), watched the movies, collected some display items and puzzles, and visited Universal Studios in Florida. All of my Harry Potter, Universal Studios, park pictures have one thing in common - I'm holding a delicious, frozen butterbeer! **Teaser**  This trip will be featured in a future post. To start, which house have you been sorted into by the Pottermore website?  I'm a Slytherin . Although, I've retaken the quiz, because this sorting was from a few years ago, and I was sort...
