What's Up Wednesday: March 2024

 

Hi Friends!  It is time to share what's up with us and it is the end of March- YEAH!!!!

 

Without further ado, I am going to answer the questions below...

 

 

What We're Eating This Week

 

It is going to be one of those weeks where we are cleaning out before Easter so that means leftovers from this weekend (Chicken Piccata, Shrimp Piccata, Chicken Fingers, Salad and all types of party food)

What I'm Watching/Reading

 

Season 2 of "Life and Beth" on Hulu

New Series To Me "Apples Never Fall" on Peacock

(Based on Lianne Moriarty's Book- so good!)

"Abbott Elementary"- it makes me laugh so hard!

and we are up to Season 6 of "Blue Bloods"

and my two books for March were

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.

 

I was really disappointed with this one.  Very slow.  I probably will still read the 2nd book in the series but not right away 

and Freida McFadden comes through again!  Another amazing thriller!

 

Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can't be taken back.

Dawn Schiff is strange.

At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m.

So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell―beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running―is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything...

It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider―she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim?

But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff.

I won't be able to attend book club this month- My first one ever not attending but life is just too full and busy for me right now between work and family commitments PLUS Holy Week this week.  Anyway, the group is reading " Zero Days" by Ruth Ware

 

What I'm Listening To

A whole mix of everything- the usuals plus some new Olivia Rodrigo

 

What I'm Wearing

Well I have been slacking with taking pics but you can take my word for it- workout clothes most of the week- business outfits for meetings and networking events and dressed up for Les Mis- wore a dress every night and black leather pants and a sweater one night when it was extra chilly (yes it's spring and I don't want to talk about it!)

Loving this rain jacket from Athleta- one of my favorite colors of all time and perfect for the spring!

 What I'm Doing This Weekend

 

Preparing for Easter- Living Stations of the Cross on Friday Night- Cooking and Baking on Saturday with Mimi- then celebrating Easter at mass and our home with the fam
