cable has turned me into a TV junkie.
Rob’s out right now writing a test for something, and I’m super nervous. So to take my mind off things I’ve been checking out insurance advertising to see if there is anything we could get that would be better than what we have (like, say, something that would actually cover any small part of any of the prescriptions/treatments we’ve been through this year).
At the same time, I’m watching the end of Josie and the Pussycats. Who knew they made that into a movie? Who knew anyone would want to make that into a movie? Phew, nevermind, it’s over.
Rob gave me a $50 gift card to Coles for Christmas. He knows me well. I finally got the chance to use it yesterday. And let me just say, holy crap, books are expensive. Two books (one hardback, one softcover) came to $48.26. Anyway. I purchased the latest Jennifer Weiner book (I’m addicted), and the novel Push, by Sapphire. Oh my God. I sat down, started reading Push, started sobbing, and continued crying for the next three hours until I finished it. It’s the book that the movie “Precious” is based on (I haven’t seen Precious yet. I know it’s won a bunch of awards but our theatre is busy showing us Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakuel) and it is amazing.
Of course, I sobbed this morning when I watched last night’s Ugly Betty, so your mileage may vary.

I actually watched “Precious” last night and was thinking of blogging about it but it’s so deeply personal I’m not sure I can. It took everything in me to watch the movie without 1. walking out and 2. getting violently ill.
