I've been listening to (and loving!) Alex Warren's new album You'll Be Alright, Kid. I started to list my favorite songs, but then realized I was listing them all, so instead I will just say that this entire album is amazing and I love every song on it.
More glad things from last month:
- Had a relaxing and fun Thanksgiving weekend, with three days off from work and lots of game-playing time with my family.
- Checked lots of good books out of the library that I'm looking forward to reading this month.
- Watched the Olympic Curling trials on TV. (I love curling!)
- Found a few new healthy recipes using red lentils and garbanzo beans that turned out to be really yummy.
- BYU's football team pulled off an 11-1 season, which made me very happy. And they've still got the Big12 Championship game to play on Saturday. Fingers crossed they play well and go on to the college playoffs.
- But my best glad thing is the many kind comments all of you leave on my blog each week. Your support and friendship mean the world to me. So thank you!
Happy Reading!
So happy your Thanksgiving was fun and you got to play games and have time off work. Well done, BYU. Lark, I think all of us love your blog and you are a dear friend!
ReplyDeleteThat means so much coming from you, Kay. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship over the years!
DeleteI love Alex Warren.
ReplyDeleteHis voice is so great and his songs! Amazing. :D
DeleteI'm happy to hear the movie was a hit! We went and saw Wicked and found it to suffer from many of the same issues the second act of the show does. It's fun, but not earth-shattering.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Wicked.,..sorry it wasn't as good as you were hoping for. It's certainly popular with every age though, from third graders to grandmothers.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! How funny that you're a curling fan! I have fond memories of a very cold weekend years ago where my daughter spent a full day inside curled up under cozy blankets watching curling for hours and hours! We were fascinated by it :)
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated with curling the first time I saw it, too...like watching a chess match and billiards combined, but on ice. And I have loved watching it ever since. :D
DeleteI haven't listened to Alex Warren (that I know of) I'll have to check him out. Happy to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving! Hope you enjoy all the library books you've checked out!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And Alex Warren's CD is amazing. Definitely check it out.
DeleteAlways happy to read what's up on your blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
:D Thank you!
DeleteI love recipes with garbanzo beans too. I'm glad you had a relaxing holiday!
ReplyDeleteThey're so yummy and so versatile. And red lentils are surprisingly good, too. (I don't love the tougher, brown ones.)
DeleteI'm glad you had such a nice Thanksgiving, Lark! We're all grateful for your comments and support too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI so value our friendship, Cath! I love visiting your blog and hearing from you on mine. Thank you for your kind support over the years.
DeleteI love a caper movie! Adding Now You See Me Now You Don't to my watch list! I've been ignoring football the last few years. As a lifelong diehard Auburn fan it's been a rough few years! Yay for BYU though! We love curling too. I'll have to look for the Olympic trials. It'd be nice to watch a sport that doesn't stress me out! Have a wonderful December!
ReplyDeleteI was rooting for Auburn to beat Alabama last Saturday...and they almost did. I was so sad when they lost. And curling is fun! It's my favorite winter Olympic sport. ;D
DeleteAlways love these posts :) Sounds like a lovely Thanksgiving. I keep hearing about Alex Warren - I must give him a listen. Healthy recipes are a win - especially ones with garbanzo beans - yum! Here's to a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteI think you would like Alex Warren's songs! And thanks for always stopping by and commenting, Nadia. I appreciate your friendship. :D
DeleteI'll have to check out Alex Warren! I'm so glad you had a good Thanksgiving! Hope you have a wonderful week, Lark! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ashley! Love your comments, as always. :D
DeleteI want to see Now You See Me, Now You Don't. Sounds like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for the winter Olympics--hadn't thought to look for time trial, qualifying events. Good idea.
Happy December
I'm excited for the Olympics, too. And I really enjoyed Now You See Me: Now You Don't. It's a lot of fun.
DeleteI adore Alex Warren!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's so great! I can't stop listening to his songs. :D
DeleteSounds like you had a fabulous Thanksgiving, Lark. A caper movie seems like a great idea. Enjoy your reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun movie. :D
DeleteSo glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love your list!
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteI'm so glad Now You See Me: Now You Don't lived up to the first movie! They're fun movies to have on in the background.
ReplyDeleteThey really are.
DeleteI just got his album on vinyl and need to listen to it. I have loved a few songs already and can't wait to hear them all!!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to love it. All the songs are amazing.
DeleteHow nice that you had so many good things happening. It's such a blessing to have a loving family.
ReplyDeleteI do have the best family.
DeleteSounds like it. MInd you, I could fight you for that. Mine is also fantastic!
DeleteYay for a great Thanksgiving and lots of time to play games :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteNice updates and the red lentils and garbanzo beans recipe sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you were a curling fan. Good to know ... you'll be our curling expert come Olympics time.
ReplyDeleteAnd both our men's team and our women's team made it through qualifications so they will be competing in Cortina. Yay! :D
