Saturday Afternoon Ramblings

Happy Saturday Everyone! After a night of thunderstorms and rain we now have a beautiful sunny day. Of course more thunderstorms are predicted for later today and that just seems to be the way this summer weather goes. My morning started out pretty routine....shower, dressed, made the bed, cleaned a little had coffee etc. The I did something I don't think I've ever done....I watched a movie before breakfast! I was going to myLot for a bit but when I logged onto the computer it was doing an update so I turned on the tv and got caught up in a movie. I read the book The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls and I saw that Amazon has the movie. Since I enjoyed the book so much I decided to see if the movie was as good as the book. I wasn't disappointed. It followed pretty much along the lines of the book but of course they had to condense lots of it to fit into a movie time frame. Now I'm ready for lunch and I almost feel as if my day has been backwards. Usually I watch movies in the evening when I'm ready to sit and relax. This morning I did my relaxing first What are you up to this Saturday?

Sometimes, it's fun to do things "differently". Slow today as I am still feeling too weak.

It's good to change up a routine every once in a while. It puts a bounce back into your step and it doesn't feel like a mundane existence any longer. So, good for you watching a movie first. My Saturday was good. I finished all my notifications, which I haven't done in days, got a chapter edited, and watched a program on Hulu and a movie on Netflix before going to bed. If you have Netflix, I recommend, Hachi, a Dog's Tale.

It can seem very decadent when you watch a movie before breakfast! Did you keep hoping no-one would catch you?

Glad the movie didn't disappoint. my Saturday was filled with kids, family, fun, fighting, food, bug bite itching, buying a Christmas gift, and now the peter rabbit movie.

Its rained off and on all day, but I am glad its been dry here. I want to read this book too, so I write it down to see if they have it at the library.
