Weekend: Watching, Reading, & Listening

Hello and happy Monday!

I know I typically say “happy” and the day of the week to start my posts, but sometimes on Mondays I’m not sure how happy I actually am. Monday mornings always seem to come quick! Well, this is the last Monday of the school year…with no school tomorrow, so I really truly mean, “Happy Monday!” haha

How was your weekend? Ours was good overall. We didn’t have much going on Friday night, Saturday we sat out in the sunshine at the regional track meet, and yesterday, I did my best to get ready for the week ahead.

I often share what I’m watching, listening to and reading throughout other posts, but today I thought I’d share all of those things…but just from the weekend! I had quite the mix!

Watching:

Had I realized this was going to be my post topic for today, I would have taken a picture, but I did watch the KC Royals baseball game for a bit because that night they were celebrating the 1985 team for the 40 year anniversary of them winning the World Series. I was only five-years-old back then, but I did recognize many of the players.

A couple of years ago, I started splitting the MLB app season package with my brother to stream games whenever I wanted to watch one. This is the second season that I’ve been able to use the app for free because of my cell phone company. I don’t watch every game, but it’s nice to have on in the background sometimes….kind of a nostalgic way that I grew up.

Anyway, the Royals didn’t play well, so I didn’t finish watching the game.

Instead…

Travis and I watched the second to last episode of….

We were “binge” watching up until Derby, and then remembered that we had a couple of episodes left. We watched the Preakness episode, so we have one more to go to wrap up this series.

Saturday was busy, and I didn’t really watch anything until that evening. I had a bit of time to read, so I did turn the Royals game on again for some background noise. They were recognizing the 2015 team with their World Series win. Again, it was fun to see some of our favorite players from the 2014 and 2015 teams be interviewed. Like Friday night, I didn’t watch the entire game, and instead turned on…

A Deadly American Marriage on Netflix. Why do I watch these shows? haha I watched about half of this one, and then Trav and the kids got home and it was time for bed.

Sunday morning, I watched an episode of Rookie. I’m not sure why, but catching up on this season seems to be my Sunday morning routine.

Then, I almost always watch a couple of episodes of whatever is on the Food Network.

Sunday afternoon, I watched a bit of the Royals game while I ate my lunch.

I was busy the rest of the afternoon and evening, but I did tune in for the American Idol finale! Fun fact…Trav loves American Idol. I didn’t watch as much of the auditions early on like I typically do, but once the top 24 were narrowed down, I started to watch a bit more consistently this season.

I love these judges. The addition of Carrie Underwood has been so fun as this season she’s looked back on when she won twenty years ago!

Reading:

I had a little bit of time to read this weekend, and I’m still reading Greenwich Park. It’s really good, and I hope to finish it up soon!

Listening:

I was able to go for a walk on Saturday and Sunday, and during both walks, I listened to an episode of The Coop with Kit. Melissa Stark was the guest, and it was a good episode to listen to while getting my steps in.

I need to find a new book to listen to, so that’s on my agenda this week!

Have a great Monday!
