Monday Randomness
Vacation
I’m officially on vacation. I slept eight hours last night. Two things that warrant applause, please. I haven’t slept eight full hours in a while. Good thing,
too; I have lots going on this week.
Speaking of this week…
Two appliances are scheduled to be delivered. Does anyone
else hate spending money on appliances? I would rather go on a genuine vacation
somewhere exciting. My appliances still work, but are on their last mechanical leg.
I’m being real here when I say that I doubt the installation
and hook-up will go smoothly since my house is old AND the last time I bought a
refrigerator was 1988 and dishwasher 1984. I had to pay more for the frig (than
I had budgeted) just to get it to (hopefully) go (please) inside the existing cabinet
opening.
Now since I try to not let one day go by without applying
Murphy’s Law to my life, I imagine tomorrow will supply many surprises of which
I will melt down over. Just warning you.
Writing
Grim Tales of the Ruralhood
(potential eBook) is with a couple readers. I’d really like to find one more reader.
I finally had to write myself a letter AND send an email to
encourage me to stop revising and get it out to the readers. I was a little obsessed.
Sometimes you’ve got to let it go in order to go on. You can quote me on that.
There’s a psycho-thriller
movie that I really like, that I think is brilliant, and it kept me guessing to
the very end. I pride myself on figuring out who did it or ‘untwist” the twisted
ending when I read a book or watch a movie. To see for myself what makes this
movie tick, I started dissecting the movie last Friday keeping track of scenes,
clues, red herrings, plot points and so on. It’s taking me some time. I'm learning from the process.
Last Weekend
Over the weekend, my brother and his
family were in from a foreign country—Illinois.
That'll be all, folks.
Your questions: Will my new
appliances last as long as the last ones? Say yes. Do you have a movie or book that you
think is brilliant? Have you ever been to the foreign land of Illinois?
Comments
And yes, we're due to replace our stove soon and I'll hate spending that money. It could be going towards a new guitar instead!
Clarissa, Hide and Seek. I love that movie. Love it. Part of my love for it is (I think) that my daughter is a psychologist and the movie is definitely psychology. Plus, it fooled me.
I'm in the UK, not been to Illinois, and can't recall seeing the movie Hide and Seek before.
I shall look it out now as I've just watched the trailer on You tube. Very scary.
Hope you get sorted out with your appliances without a hitch.
I so want a dishwasher. Mine is done in. It runs just doesn't clean. So I'm the dishwasher right now. It's next on my list.
Hey, me an Murphy dance frequently. I dance with him more than hubs, lol!
Glad to hear the book is about ready to go into the wide world of readers--once you stop fiddling with it, lol!

Hide and Seek is creepy. Primal Fear is pretty awesome, but read the book. The plot is so intricate.
Yes, the appliances will last. Isn't that what you wanted to hear?
