Life:
This week
has been a little crazy. I’ve worked eight days in the last nine days, which isn’t
abnormal in my line of work but still is exhausting. And because of that
somehow the days flew by so fast I don’t even really know what I did.
Monday wasmy only free day, which unfortunately was spend only on cleaning our home,
doing groceries and preparing for the week. But I did manage to make some very
tasty Chocolate Banana Bread by a recipe by Rens Kroes. It worked out great,
and was very tasty and healthy too.
Wednesday
was my mom’s birthday. So after work, me and my hubby went to her home where we
gave her some presents and drank a toast. And after that my mom and her boyfriend took
us to dinner at this very tasty restaurant. The food was so good and it was
just a great night!

And the
rest of the week? Well I don’t even know. I hope the next week will be more
productive. At least I’ll have some time for blogging this weekend.

Books & Blogging:
Like I
said, this week wasn’t very productive. I haven’t been able to read a lot
because when I finally got time to sit and relax and I was so tired I fell
asleep. Frustrating really!

I also haven’t
been able to do a lot of posting and blogging this week, but I tried to visit
you guys between making dinner and doing some housework. I wasn’t able to visit
you all though, which I apologize for. But I’ll do better this week!

Busy weeks do seem to fly by some times- I think there should be a rule that every week has a certain amount of time blocked off for reading! Ha like that's going to happen. 🙂
The chocolate banana bread looks good! Hope you have a good, more relaxing week!
That sounds like a great rule Greg! We should definitely makes that rule a thing! LOL! 😉
It was very tasty!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week! 😉
8/9 days sounds horrible! What do you do for a living? Chocolate Banana Bread looks soo delicious! 🙂
I'm a nurse. So I work all kinds of shifts. Luckily for me I don't work a lot of evenings anymore.. I hate working evenings. But I do work nightshifts.
It was very tasty! 😉
Have a great week and happy reading!
You must be exhausted! I hope you have an easier work schedule this week Maureen.
I was definitely tired by Friday night! We planned a movie watching night.. but I fell asleep when the movie started. Sigh..
Have a great week and happy reading!
That sounds like a tiring week with so much work! That cake you baked looks great, glad to hear the taste was good too :). And happy belated birthday to your mom, sounds like you had a nice dinner. I hope you'll have a great week!
I hope you have a calmer week this week. It sounds like you need a bit of a break. *hugs*
Thanks! 🙂 I definitely needed this weekend break!
Have a great week and happy reading!
That definitely sounds exhausting, Maureen! I hope next week will be a bit quieter work-wise.
Happy birthday to your mom 🙂 I love restaurants where the food is tasty, and I'm with people I enjoy.
Have a wonderful week ahead and happy reading.

Thanks Lexxie. I hope so too.
The restaurant was great. I was in this Industrial building and it just looked different.. I loved that.

Wow, with your schedule, I'm surprised you got anything else done. Kudos for blogging and reading. Thanks for sharing; sounds like the birthday celebration was a nice break.
Enjoy the new week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks Laurel. I definitely took some planning! Whaha

The Bread was really good. I'm definitely going to make it again someday.
Have a great week and happy reading!
You've had a super busy week! I totally get the lack of reading due to exhaustion. The only time I had to read this week was in the car since we went on a day trip and I was in the backseat. I hope things slow down a bit for you. Have a great week!
Wow.. reading in the car is something that doesn't really work for me. I always end up feeling nauseous.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
Happy Belated Birthday to your mom! I hope she enjoyed her special day. Last week I finished up Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland. It was ok and I'm definitely open to checking out another book from Keeland.
Thank you. 😉 My mom had a great day.
I haven't heard about Vi Keeland before. I'll check it out! 😉
Have a great week and happy reading!
