Renai Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 5 minutes ago, Junie said: My dad loved that movie. I, of course, hated it. I don't like funny movies. I would rather bawl my eyes out watching something sappy. At 2 am. In French. What about in Chinese? I just finished a series, but I'm debating watching it again without subtitles at all because I hated the ending. It was pretty sweet, though. Nothing makes me cry though. 1 minute ago, Slache said: I like pretty much everything but that. I prefer funny but I'm picky. I like adventure. We need to see the hobbit. Yeah, I prefer funny, adventure, or action. Just now, Slache said: My favorite movie is Moulin Rouge and my second-favorite is Remember the Titans. Your turn! I don't have a favorite. I decided a long time ago that Lion King was my favorite, and I just never updated my favorites list. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually, I don’t like movies a whole lot. I get too invested. I go sometimes to make it a family event. I did watch a lot on vacation - Harry Potter, LOTR, Star Wars. Something a little different (not for kids) was Yes Man. I like some romantic comedy occasionally (you’ve got mail, when Harry met sally), but not a lot. More than you wanted to know. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I'm not much of a movie watcher. I can't actually decide whether they are overstimulating or boring or both in some odd way because they don't leave enough room for my own thoughts inside my head--in any case I can only really stand to watch when I am sick. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Good morning, croaked the toad. I need to get hopping and write my wrists off. I am 5000 away from hitting 20K on two novels in a month, and I am going to get it today! I am using June as my marathon writing month to complete one series and get ready to hop back in another before I write the third book in the trilogy that is on submission right now. My agent now knows that I have another series almost complete in first draft form, and so I'm supposed to revise the first book of that in July for her to read and critique, so I can get it ready to go on submission sometime this fall if possible. And then I have a standalone book to write in November. Plus other projects to bring to a boil. The boys head out of town with grandparents, so I'm looking forward to a solid week of writing without requests to go to the lake, river, etc, although I'll probably go by myself to relax a time or two! Have a lake trip planned for this afternoon, so I need to bury myself in words and burrow until I get my 5000 on the page. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really prefer reading to watching movies or tv. Dh loves to choose random movies from Amazon, Netflix or Hulu.

Wheres Toto Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 So, I gave up the Intermittent Fasting for the weekend and in fact have been eating lots and lots of junk. And I'm down 4 pounds. I know it's going to catch up to me but this weight loss thing is so darn frustrating. I need to figure out something to do about it. I'm not as sedentary as I used to be (on my feet all day, walking around), but I need to do some stretching, some sustained cardio, and mainly, watch what I eat. Usually that's easier for me in the summer but I've been gaining not losing weight. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Good Morning!!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Sunday!!! Promotion Day. All the kids move up to their next grade in Sunday School. Both the high school class and jr. high classes (I have one kid stayed hg in jr. high and one promoting to high school) asked parents to bring food for breakfasts, so, I made sticky buns.🙄 I actually made them last night, but I had to get up early to take them out of the fridge to warm up and rise a little so I could bake them. Why can’t I just go get donuts like other moms? It’s heating up again today. Our little comfortable reprieve is over.😩🔥🔥☀️☀️ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, but I tend to enjoy watching movies I like over and over again. That drives everyone crazy, but I don’t care. I’ll just hole up in my room with my iPad and enjoy myself. I like rom-coms a lot. Those are ones that I will tend to watch more than once -When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, While You Were Sleeping. I love Steel Magnolias, too, though not a rom-com. I enjoy me a good action flick, but those I don’t tend to watch over and over again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Good morning! Uh, afternoon! I didn't get a sticky bun. I don't like to rewatch movies, so the ones I do want to see again must be my favorites. One movie I have wanted to rewatch for years is Another Stakeout. I think I saw it 25 years ago, so I might hate it now. Played in early and late services this morning. Dd12 played in the early service but she got wheezy so I said she should sit out the next one. Lunch is IP sweet potatoes, leftover spaghetti, and lettuce salad. I have some things, mostly online stuff and planning to take care of today, but otherwise not much going on. Coffee!

She has lots of power in Ohio that she used against me. Often by saying I would be somewhere knowing I wasn't going to tell the 85 year old I wasnt after she was so excited, but she would also get stores to not serve me etc. She has no power here. Because of that I don't think she'll come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 This week is my last week of classes for the year. Looks like I'll have a week off, do 2 days of camp the following week, then on vacation, then a week of camp with 4-5 students. Lots of time to get things done. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) I got lots done this weekend. The living room was cleaned (for the first time in I don't want to say how long because it would be super embarassing), the bathroom was cleaned, most of the laundry was done (it's never ALL done), classes are planned. Still need to set up some school for the kids but they do two classes each tomorrow so Mondays are kind of a bust anyway. ETA: It's an -evidently I spelled embarassing wrong and I refuse to fix it, booya. Edited June 10, 2019 by Where's Toto? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Another attempt to deliver our couch is being made tomorrow. Turns out dh has a doctor's appointment so my mother is going to come over to wait for the delivery. I had promised the kids that I would bring the dog back to visit the last week of class (when he had to be there a couple weeks ago) so he's coming with me tomorrow which should make the delivery a lot easier. Hopefully they'll bring enough people this time so they can actually get it into the house. I'm so excited! I'm so tired of sitting on my office chair with my feet on a beach chair. It's pathetic. And hard to work on my laptop like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
