We safely made it back to Illinois for the summer! Once we returned, we set up our spot, quarantined, and then set about visiting a very small amount of friends and family all outside and at a distance. It was really nice to be able to catch up and spend time relaxing outside around a fire. We got a lot of fishing done, although not very productive in that we […]
For the third year of O.W.L.s how fitting is it that I am going for the Wizarding Career of Seer? First of all, we have the obvious connection: my handle of SweetheartSeer. Talk about going on brand! Then we have the fact that this year is 2020 and who doesn’t want to have “the sight” of 2020 vision? My favorite of all though is that in book three of Harry […]
When we stayed in Arizona before it was close to Phoenix and at an extended stay hotel. This time it was in Quartzsite and in our RV. We like it a lot better this time around. Check out my YouTube travel channel video of us driving back to Arizona here. Now the funny thing is that it rained for about a week for us and we were like “Really?!” It […]
On our way to California, we wound up hitting a post that was in the ground all camouflaged like the snow it was set in. At night. At a place that we did not end up staying for various reasons. Adelaide was injured for a bit, but thankfully she got fixed during our time in California. The RV park we stayed at until we had to take Adelaide into the […]
When we got to Nevada, we stayed at a National Park and paid a little more to get a beautiful view because this was our very first stop with our very first RV. We stayed through Christmas and into the New Year. We checked out The Hoover Dam, Las Vegas-both the strip and Fremont Street, and got to see the Big Horn Sheep of Nevada which I was particularly excited […]
Once we left Colorado, we went through and stopped in New Mexico before making our way into Arizona. Again we stayed at an extended stay hotel. We wound up staying in Arizona where we were for about a month and a half or so. We were getting very tired of moving all of our stuff constantly and decided to try to find ourselves an RV. We used a lot of […]
When hubby and I left our Illinois life in late October of 2019, we had a sort of plan laid out that we wanted to stick with. We wanted to go West. We prepared a loose idea of where we wanted to go and for how long in a spreadsheet. We set out in our car packing literally every single thing we owned save for a painting and a few […]
What a wonderful way to end the year-with one last readathon. Since I was able to hit my 2019 reading goal of 150 books, the books I read for this readathon were “bonus” reads that I didn’t really count into my 2019 reading stats. The reason? Cause I damn well didn’t feel like it that’s why. Which is as good a reason as any if you ask me. Anywho, I […]
I have set my TBR at 130 books for 2020. The reason for this was based on math and stats from my 2019 reading, along with what I project I will want to read in the new year. 62 books I know I want to read. Breakdown on how I got that number: 26 books in New testament 9 releasing in 2020 24 backlist 3 “I wish they would release” […]
For 2019 I set my goal for 150 books. I hit that goal of 150 books. Before the end of the year, there is one more readathon that I am taking part in which (to me at least) will just be “bonus” books read. The books I am planning on reading for that will be part of my Winter Magical Readathon Wrap up at the end of the year-so stay […]
