I really am! Jake was on vacation all last week and we pretty much just stayed home all week. It has been HOT here, record setting hot, so we stayed in the house much of the time! We did re-watch all the Harry Potter movies in anticipation of the last one coming out this weekend. I think we are going to take Bailey to see it, the boys didn't do so well just sitting and watching them at home so I am not going to take a chance and spend the money for them to see it in the theater. Hopefully Jake won't have to work on Friday night so we can see it then.
I am the bad mom who didn't take ANY pictures on 4th of July...NONE! I am usually the one who takes the camera to the get together and I spend the whole time taking pictures and not really doing anything else so this year I decided not to take my camera. Let's face it, I still haven't mastered the fireworks shot and once it starts to get dark all the pictures are crap anyway. SO, I had much more fun sitting with my feet in the pool talking to Joan about books, and True Blood, and running off to LA to sit at Joan's on Third in the hopes that we could get a peek at Alexander Skarsgard eating lunch some day! It's not like I have scrapped any of my pictures in the last 2 years anyway! I would rather be interacting with people than running around taking less than stellar pictures...
Speaking of Alexander...we have seen 3 episodes of True Blood now, I am not so unhappy as I was after the first episode. I did not like the whole Faerie thing, they really shot the whole Fae story in the foot with that, then they finished it off last night by having Eric kill Claudine. She was never right anyway, so I wasn't sad to see her go, but I am a little disappointed that they really ruined any chance of bringing in the Grandfather. That really was Alan Ball saying that he has no intention of sticking to the book story line or that he doesn't plan to ever take the series that far. I do like that they are keeping with the Eric amnesia story, but I don't care for how they did it. I don't like the whole witch/brujo (?) storyline that they have created. It would take me hours, though, to tell you all the things that I don't like about how they have changed the stories for the show so I will spare you all that and just say that I am enjoying the show for what it is, but I will always like the books much better!
Since Jake is going back to work tonight I will be able to watch the new season premiere of Torchwood. I have been waiting for this for a long time it seems like. I hope that Starz doesn't ruin the show, it's one of my favorite shows.
Well, I am trying to catch up on laundry today so I need to go work on that. I will be back tomorrow to post some pictures of the Pink Punk Bags I have completed in the past few weeks. Hopefully blogger with let me post them...last time I tried I wasn't able to post pictures for some reason.
