Happy December!
Ahora, meaning Now in Spanish, is a monthly series that gives you
the highlights of what's going on in my life each month. See where it started with this post.
I'm off to a late start this month, but here is what's trending in my world.
Reading...
- I have accumulated quite a few books over the last few weeks in anticipation of the holiday break from school. Among them are The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer, which I am reading for book club. I also just received Mastering the Art of French Eating: From Paris Bistros to Farmhouse Kitchens, Lessons in Food and Love by Ann Mah. This was a giveaway prize from Samantha Verant, who just published Seven Letters from Paris. You can see Samantha's book trailer here.
Designing...
- Our Christmas cards....so much fun. Photo cards are popular with families that have children, but if you are single or a family of two, do you do photo cards? If not, why?
Watching...
I watched this film on our return flight from Paris. What a treat. Like Chocolat, it is a beautiful story that is also a feast for the eyes.
Listening to...
- Serial. This podcast is fascinating. I was late to the party, but I am catching up. And I read somewhere that there will be a second season. If you like crime drama, check it out. It's produced by the same folks who do This American Life on NPR.
- Paris. We had such a great time. As soon as I win the lottery that I never play, I am buying an apartment. Maybe it's a sign that I should take a gamble once in a while.
Cliched, but fun nonetheless
- Christmas. We are off to the Berkshires this weekend for the 25th Anniversary Celebration of Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas. We hope to squeeze in some Christmas shopping at the outlets nearby and visit the Norman Rockwell Museum, which is always a treat.
And there you have it...that is what is trending Ahora in my world.
Your turn...what is happening in your world these days?
Everyone is obsessed with Serial! I need to check it out!
ReplyDeleteIt's fascinating. Happy listening! And have a great weekend, Rebecca.
DeleteOOOoooo I want to watch the 100 foot journey, I am going to have to find it on PPV and watch it this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this, and have a great Day!
It was so good, Christine. I hope you love it! Happy Monday...have a great week!
DeleteI love the Paris picture it is my dream to see the Eiffel Tower...someday!
ReplyDeleteIt is worth it every time, Rena. I hope you achieve your dream. Happy Monday...have a great week!
DeleteWishing you a lovely holiday season weekend getaway, and that you may win the lotto, buy an apartment in Paris (and may it be a huge apartment that perhaps I can visit, lol.) Thank you for the Lovely Blog Award, you are just sooo lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peggy! We had a great time. I guess I should start playing the lotto...my Paris apartment and its visitors await. :-) Happy Monday...have a great week!
DeleteOkay...just adopt me already! :)
ReplyDeleteMandee...you're in! Happy Monday...have a great week! :-)
DeleteWe sent out photo Christmas cards last year. Even if it's just the two of us, we're still a legitimate family. We may send one this year, too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Suheiry. We send them too. And you're right...we are a family...we have the right to share our joy as well. :-) Happy Monday...have a great week!
DeleteThat would be fun to check out the Stockbridge Main street event. I had never heard of it.

It is a lot of fun, Kimberly. Are you local? Hotels fill fast...book early. Happy Monday...have a great week!
DeleteI did photo cards for the first time this year and they had mostly Seamus on them but I have seen them with just couples. Serial is so good, I am hooked. The second season was picked up so I can only imagine what that story line will be.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet your cards are so cute! I hope you have pictures of you and Seamus together. You had some good ones this year!
