I had a dream last night that I was babysitting
@figmentfan423 's boys for a week while she was doing something..I don't remember what, and when I left the room, her oldest skyped her to complain that I wasn't supervising them enough/giving them enough to do. Pretty sure they are beyond the stage of needing "babysitters" and I could find PLENTY for them to do even if they did need it. I somehow don't think that would be a complaint in real life...it would be "Mom, she won't leave us alone!! This is supposed to be a vacation!"
FULLER HOUSE!!!! YAY! I finally finished all my obligatory reading and can watch Fuller House and then start on my birthday present...NCIS Los Angeles seasons 1-6. And I can finally read what I WANT to read. Though I did enjoy the last thing I read immensley more than I expected. I BETA read for a friend of mine who is wanting to get published. I was reading Outlander earlier this year when she needed readers, so I hadn't gotten around to reading it. I guess a bunch of people didn't like it (too dark) and one person told her that she was embarrassed for her with how bad it was. (ouch, HARSH) And even the person who wrote it kept telling me "It's terrible....you won't like it. Don't read it. Please." But I kind of took that as a challenge and it really was NOT bad. It was a bit of a departure from her normal genre, but it was actually really well written and it was very real. It was appropriate for what it was. I would send her a text asking her a question and she'd say "Oh...I'm so surprised you noticed that...that's what I was going for, but so-and-so didn't see it" or "Just wait...you are going to loathe it any moment now" and I'd wait for the big moment that it would be too much and it never came! I feel so bad that I didn't read it sooner because she's been walking around having lost her confidence, mostly because of the one person, and she so didn't need to! So now she's relieved that it's not completely rubbish, just apparently not for everyone. And now I can move on to Harry Potter again...or Twilight...or Pride and Prejudice...haven't decided which one to start with, but I need comfort reading and those are my go-to books when I want something familiar.
@Cesar R M , Did you read the book Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It's very good..I read it last year and was really excited for the movie. I enjoyed the movie, but the last half is different from the book...I was curious if what you didn't like about the movie was the same for the book, in your opinion. I'm not sure I understood what it was you thought was stupid with the movie...but if you haven't read the book, I'd suggest reading it. It's better than the movie. I watched it with some friends in October and they hadn't even realized it was based on a book, so none of them had read it. But books are almost always better than their movie adaptations.
With any luck I'll get some peace and quiet today but one school not far from us already posted a 3 hour delay.
(Must be something different than the "peperoni" you mentioned above.)
I looked outside and since I have no absolutely reason to leave my house I'm staying in and taking care of mount laundry and I'm going to finish watching Frozen. I remember hearing do you want to build a snowman and my dh shaking me telling me to go to bed. I did pour a glass of wine didn't get to that either
Unfortunately I'm procrasting this morning. It's a big 9* and I have to go to the hospital to have some x-rays taken and try to finish my Christmas shopping. I need an elf helper.
