Friday Ramblings: April Edition

Happy April, and happy spring...in theory.  I don't think I'm alone in screaming "Go away winter.  You're not wanted here anymore".  Sigh.

I'm off to visit college boy for mom's weekend, and then in a month he'll be home for the summer.  Two years have gone by so fast!  Now, let's ramble.

💋 Do you have a Sonic where you live?  If so, what are your thoughts?  One recently opened in my town and people have lost. their. minds.  Literally, a line around the block the entire time they're open.  The boys talked me into going with them at midnight during Thomas' spring break.  I couldn't bring myself to eat anything, but I have to admit that their drink selection is impressive.  And colorful.

💋 One of my very favorite things about living here is the blossoming of the cherry trees.  Every spring it seems like they bloom overnight into the prettiest pink explosion.  The petals only last a few weeks or so, before a good wind blows them all away.

💋 Reading:  Due to the aforementioned never ending winter, I read three books this month.  All different, but all worth reading.  A psychological thriller with a very satisfying ending, a strange love story, and WWII historical fiction.

💋 Watching:  A Wrinkle In Time.  Sadly, it's a thumbs down from me.  I adored the book and wanted to love the movie, but it just didn't translate well.  The costumes and sets were visually stunning though.  

Santa Clarita Diet (on Netflix).  We binge watched this over two weekends and it's SO good.  Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant (yes, please) are perfect, the writing is witty, and there are lots of fun cameos.  It's pretty gory though, so don't watch while you're eating.  Unless you're like my husband, and absolutely nothing turns your stomach.

💋  These amazing ladies from The Forever Fierce Revolution recently shot a video in collaboration with Chico's for their "Bolder" campaign.  Our goal is to get to one million views, so I'm asking for your help.  Check out the video on You Tube, and then share it on your social media and tag some friends with #foreverfierce #howboldareyou and #ageisjustanumber.  I would be so grateful!  These women are strong, kind, and beautiful inside and out, and I'm proud to call them friends.

Since I can't top that, I'll stop rambling.  Happy weekend, friends!
