Itâs also due back at the library in 3 days and I canât renew it because thereâs a wait. The estimated time to get it back is 10 weeks. đŤ
Iâve reached the point in the book where my kids wish Iâd hurry up and finish it so Iâll quit trying to tell them about it. But itâs so good and itâs history we donât get taught! The book is The Wager Wager by David Grann, who also wrote Killers of the Flower Moon. đđ
Ok but listen, they have a line of hand dyed gemstone colors that are all named after the Crystal Gems from Stephen Universe and I need them ALLLLL.

Apparently this entire week is going to go sideways. Fingers crossed they can patch the tire while I wait instead making me walk home on the knee I busted trying not to step on a cat (who is not even speaking to me because I gave him a flea treatment).
That is amazing. And the kids will love it! Weâve been reading the young readers edition of The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean this past month and my kids have enjoyed making fun of the lack of creativity in naming elements. Weâve decided if we ever discover elements theyâll be named after our cats.
Also, shout out to the MinCup volunteers who make this such a fun (and educational) adventure for my entire family every year. My teens get INVESTED in learning about these minerals and my eldest is now collecting and identifying rocks in the wild. These people are doing good work!
