Five on Friday - February 25, 2022

Happy Friday friends!  I'm counting the hours until my friends arrive to start our girls' weekend.  To say I'm excited would be an understatement!  Before the fun begins, let me share my five for this week ~

1.  Inventing Anna

Last weekend we started a new puzzle and while we were fitting all the pieces together, we started watching Inventing Anna.  It's another creation from Shondaland and we are loving it.  I didn't quite binge the entire series, but I'm close.  Julia Garner (I knew her from Ozark) is great as the leading lady.  Have you seen it?  Thoughts?

2.  The Paris Apartment

The author of the bestseller book The Guest List, Lucy Folley, has a new book out.  The Paris Apartment hit the stands this week and is getting great reviews.  Some are saying it's a lot like the show Only Murders in the Building.  Here's the summary from Amazon ~

Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there.

The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it’s starting to look like it’s Ben’s future that’s in question.

The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The concierge

Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they’re not telling.

3.  Fuzzy Curly Fur Memory Foam Loafer Slipper with Polar Fleece Lining

Eric got me a new pair of slippers for Valentine's Day and they've barely left my feet!  They are so warm and comfy!  The memory foam soles make it seem like you are walking on pillows.  I didn't realize how bad my old slippers were until I slipped these new ones on my feet.  

4.  National Clam Chowder Day

Today is National Clam Chowder Day!  How appropriate is it that on this cold winter day you can warm up with a big bowl of chowder?  My favorite clam chowder recipe can be found HERE.  Whip up a batch to celebrate!

5.  When will Spring be here???

Now let's get this weekend started!  I have a list a mile long of things I hope to accomplish before my friends arrive.  We've got so many fun things planned!  Pop in next week to see what they are.
