New To Me Stuff:
I love Mtn Dew Baja Blast & Mtn Dew Zero Sugar at Taco Bell  so the other day when my son was picking up some groceries for me and saw them in the store in a 20 oz. bottles he bought me one of each to try. I liked the Baja Blast  but the Zero tasted different to me than it does at TB. I think I’ll just stick with Code Red at home and get these when I go to Taco Bell.

I’ve been eating to many carbs and not many veggies lately so I want to change that.  When I lived out in the country I bought water in 20 oz. bottles (because we had a well) and I could easily keep track of how much water I was drinking. Since we moved and have city water I didn’t want to keep buying water so at the beginning of last month I bought a water bottle with time markers and a Fruit Infuser to make sure I’m getting enough water, and I love it!

Ok,  so I was in a reading slump during the last part of ’19 and was looking forward to the new year, thinking the start of 2o2o would pull me out of it. Wrong! Right now I’m reading Healthy Air Fryer Cookbook: 100 Great Recipes with Fewer Calories and Less Fat by Dana Angelo White. I’m trying a cookbook, because a cookbook should do the job, right? Wrong! I’m also still reading Calico Confusion (Marjorie’s Cozy Kitten Cafe Book 1) by Katherine Hayton.

So as soon as I finish the last 2 hours of my current listen, I’ll be starting book #2 which is Louisiana’s Way Home and then listen to Beverly, Right Here.

I watched the finale of Big Brother and was a bit sad about who won. I’m so excited that all my favorite shows are coming back on, it seems like the finales were a year ago. I watched the first show of This Is Us and was lost during the whole show wondering who the heck those people were. I got it at the end, at least I thought I did, but now I’m wondering if I still am missing something. New Amsterdam also aired it’s new season and I loved episode #1
