It’s hard to write as often as I’d like since I’m not doing anything with my life right now. Phil works all day long and I fill my days with chores and cooking. It’s hard not to spend a little money decorating this apartment because most of the walls are still bare. I went to Target to get a big picture thing that holds multiple pictures and they are a lot more expensive than I was prepared for. I bought one and it’s now filled with pictures and hanging on the wall where yours truly used a hammer and nails to secure it there. I hung something else up in the bedroom but now there’s nothing else to hang.
It’s sad when I’m home so much that I start to have a television routine. There’s only a few specific shows and times that I remember but it is guaranteed that I’ll watch King of Queens at 4 and 4:30, wait an hour, and watch two more episodes of King of Queens at 6 and 6:30. I usually eat a snack around 5 as lunch is wearing off and dinner isn’t until Phil comes home at 7. I’m pathetic. Oh and I’ve already seen like ALL of the King of Queens episodes prior to this. It’s still really funny!
I went to the pool today. I hate to say it but i didn’t have the time of my life. It was relaxing but I like being inside on the couch in comfortable clothes rather than outside in a bathing suit. I listened to my iPod to songs I hadn’t really listened to a whole lot and that included Donnie from Making the Band 4. I actually really enjoy the two songs that I have of his – “So Over You” & “Say I Ain’t Right”. What can I say? I’m a sucker for slow R&B songs, even if they are by Donnie. Sing it Donnie!
I finished that dumb Danielle Steel book, “Sisters”, and have started another one called “Up Close & Dangerous” by Linda Howard. I’ve read her a couple of times before, and so far this book is OK but I haven’t really gotten into it yet. Let me tell you something that’s been on my mind about “Sisters”. In the book, one of the four sisters is a supermodel. Her character is supposed to be a really famous supermodel, who Danielle repeats over and over, is “6′1 in bare feet”. Well in the story there are multiple instances in which her character goes out on a date or just goes out to a club or something, and she is always wearing “sky-high” heels. Does Danielle REALIZE that if Candy (this character) is 6′1” in bare feet, then she’d be 6′5” in 4 inch heels?? 4 inch heels aren’t even considered to be “sky-high” and Danielle seems to discount that this “Candy” is walking out the door as a 6′5″ or 6′6” girl. Being this tall myself, I am probably the only person to go on like this, but as an author, Danielle should really think about how she describes her character. I LOVE that this tall, beautiful girl is going out in sky-high heels as I would love to do that myself… I just think she should mention that as she walks out that door with that handsome yacht-owner, she is towering above him by at least 5 inches. The cover of the book is an illustration of the four sisters and you can only see them from the waist down and they’re all wearing their distinct clothes so readers can tell them apart without seeing their faces. Needless to say, this illustration of Candy is also not to scale. Sorry for the rant.
Welp, see ya!
I forgot to mention that I bawled like a baby with poison ivy when I first woke up and watched the series finale of Fresh Prince today. That one always gets me… it is SO SAD.
