Eyes & Emmie & Eggs

I literally just finished my current Kindle book, “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” and my head is still kind of immersed in that. It was originally published in 1937, as one of the first “Afro-American feminist novels,” and chronicles the life of the main character Janie, and her journey from “object” to “subject.” It was really good. It was physically difficult to read though, because it’s written just like they would have talked back then, so the spelling is all weird and crazy sometimes, so you kind of have to just keep on reading and figure it out as you go. (For example, “Don’t need tuh ast me where Ah been all dis time, ‘cus it’s mah all day job tuh tell yuh.”) But it was still good.

Girls’ Dinner with Grandmommie

OK first of all, I got ran out & grabbed Chipotle for lunch today. Yum! I don’t get to eat it very often, because Jeff doesn’t like it (he hates cilantro), but I LOVE their cilantro-lime rice and fajita veggies. I always get the chicken burrito bowl. I brought it back to my office to eat because 1.) I hate eating by myself in public, and 2.) I wanted to read in privacy like the true introvert that I am. (Yes, I’m an introvert, and I do I see the irony of writing a public blog…)

Learner’s Permit

Happy Friday! I treated myself today and ordered a sammich (turkey with veggie cheese spread, tomatoes & cucumbers) from one of my favorite places (Goodies), and read my book at the picnic table for my lunch break! It was warm & breezy, but comfortable in the shade. I’m about halfway through this book, and it’s so good! I’ll post about it more when I finish.

Exciting Wednesday

On our little family trip to Trader Joe’s last Friday night, I picked up a jar of their “Everything But The Bagel Sesame Seasoning,” because I’ve heard so so many good things about it. I’ve been trying it out on random things since then (buttered toast, scrambled eggs, egg-in-the-hole, potatoes) but this morning, I tried it on the most-suggested option: avocado toast. And it was delicious!! (I’m now out of avocado & bread, but will definitely stock up again over the weekend.)

Starting A New Book

So y’all know how much I LOVE reading, right?! Even with a little baby around now, I try to sneak in as much reading time as possible when I’m not with her. And y’all I’m like, absurdly excited for this new book I’m reading now! I checked it out from the library a while ago, but just got around to starting it yesterday. I’m about 100 pages in so far (out of 369), and it’s just so good already. It’s called The Darkling Bride, and it’s brand new. Literally, it just came out in April.
