It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover Synopsis - Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up, she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atla

Rangers and Summit One

Late January M got some Ranger's tickets.. we really look forward to these and hadn't been back since Covid so were super excited. The game starts at 8pm so we decided to head into the city a little earlier and make a day out of it.  We got to New York around four so our first stop was Grand Central Station. We needed to get some coffee.. does anyone else experience a sourness in coffee? M and I have experienced it multiple times where the coffee has a sour taste and we can't tell if it's us. Anyway.. we drank our sour coffee and wandered around, sad to see so many shops closed. But really enjoyed their market.  Next we had gotten tickets for Summit One at Vanderbilt. Our tickets were for just after dusk and it was the most perfect breathtaking experience. Pictures do not do justice. Speaking of pictures..  WARNING OLD PERSON RANT COMING - I love my phone but the need to take pictures of everything for social media has ruined the experience of just enjoying the stunning

Happy February! As well as a Happy Valentines Day for those celebrating.. no pressure.  February is usually a big month for us.. as M and I both get a little older. My birthday was last Sunday (had a friends baby's first birthday to attend) and his was on Monday so we celebrated on Saturday. We treated ourselves to a Korean spa.  This was our first time doing something like this. It was a very unique experience. We went to gender separated bathhouses where clothes we not permitted. I kept my towel close by. After a good soak we had booked a body scrub and a scrub it was.. bye bye epidermis. After the scrub we were given a uniform to wear and were reunited in the sauna area. They had 6 igloo like dry sauna's of varying temperatures and special qualities to sweat in and then I final ice cave to seal all those pores. Afterwards we went to a traditional Pakistani restaurant to have chaat (a combination of chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, mint and cilantro chutney, tamarind chutney and

Holidays in Florida

Image
I am a little late on my holiday post..  Remember back in May of 2021 when everyone was getting vaccinated and we thought we were at a turning point. Everything seemed so hopeful. So we planned a trip to Costa Rica for December. I mean it's not like we were immediately jumping on a plane.. we were giving it a decent 6 months. And then Delta happened. So we canceled that. In November we went to Antigua and it was all so safe we thought we'd give December another try and booked Jamaica. And then Omnicron hit. And Jamaica unlike Antigua did not have any vaccination rules.. it was pretty much anyone can come kinda situation so we canceled that as well.  And then me friend passed and we thought.. life is too short. We aren't going to make any rash decisions.. we are going to continue to take all the needed precautions but we will still go somewhere. But where? And with that we ended up in Florida. Probably still not the safest place but we were staying within the country
