Likes & Dislikes

As I will officially be entering my 30's this year, I find that many of my likes and interests remain the same, I'm a bit of a creature of habit. Though, having 4 kids greatly imposes upon my routines and forces me to be much more flexible & spontaneous than I otherwise would be. Nevertheless, I'll always love books & TV shows, but those sometimes change too. So here's what I currently am liking and disliking (here's the part where you read on and pretend to care)

Liking: I just read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society book that was a group of stories told through letters about an island off the coast of England immediately following WWII. I LOVED it! It was so sweet and charming and old-fashioned, it reminded me of black & white movies and Gary Cooper, and it made me want to address people as "Darling" or "Old Sport," it was absolutely refreshing.

Liking & Disliking: Meanwhile, like many of you, each January, I set the goal for myself to read through the bible in a year, and probably like many of you, I fail miserably, and give up by summer. However, this year, I found a bible reading plan from http://www.ccc.org/BibleReadingPlan.pdf that allows for a few make up days at the end of each month for slackers like me to catch up! It's been great so far, and I'm really encouraged and hopeful I will get through this year. So what am I disliking? Well, truthfully, I'm in Leviticus right now, and reading about Leprosy is not my favorite thing. However, I guess next time I'm lamenting the dark circles under my eyes, I should be reminded, it could be worse.

Disliking: House used to be one of my favorite shows, but I have to say that it seems to me that it has officially jumped the shark and is treading in DARK waters right now. After years of watching the cynical, but brilliant doctor flirt with his boss "Cuddy," the 2 have finally gotten together & their relationship is utterly depressing. The show has lost it's weekly humor and wit and each week takes on a new godless approach to a hopeless world filled with liars and cheats. I mean really, is this supposed to entertain me? After seasons of faithfully watching each week, I've officially had enough. No more Dr. Gregory House for me. Wilson, I will always love you.

Liking: It may be cheesy, it may be predictable, but the television show, Castle, is so fun to watch. There's witty banter, a charming leading man, a beautiful detective with a tragic past, and the 2 of them solve murders together each week. The show reminds me of Remington Steele, and Scarecrow & Mrs. King, fun mystery dramas from my childhood. And it has a MUCH lighter tone than many of the more serious shows out there. And that's what I appreciate. I'm sick of liberal agendas and christian-bashing.....please, just entertain me.

Disliking: rain, cold, and all things winter-related.

Liking: my rain boots

Okay, so I had to get those things off my chest, I feel better now... Happy Friday, and bless you if you actually read through this entire post of my ramblings!
