The Hunger Shames

I'm quite tardy to the party, but I finally broke down and read "The Hunger Games" last weekend.  And "Catching Fire" in the last two days...and I'm almost halfway through "Mockingjay."  Seriously, this stuff is literary "crack"!  While it is young adult fiction, it's quite entertaining and doesn't actually sound like a 14-year old girl wrote it (side-eye at you, Stephanie Meyers, rolling in your millions).   And poor Mr. D just sighs everytime he walks in and catches me trying to read another 2 pages before work.  The other night, I actually hid the book under a pillow when he came into the living room to avoid the "tsk-tsk" look....oh the shame!  He has nothing against my reading a book.  I think it's my inability to put the damn thing down.  I did refrain from bringing it to work, so hopefully I'm not too far gone. 
So that makes me even more appreciative that my wonderful and patient husband is accompanying to probably the last "Hunger Games" movie showing before it leaves the theater for good and re-emerges on DVD in August.   On the plus side, it should be an empty theater so I need to go stock up on mini wine bottles to get us through those 144 minutes!  I will however refrain from the Hunger Games drinking game.  Drink everytime Katniss climbs a tree or shoots an arrow?!  Hello, alcohol poisoning! 

We can only hope I return to normal by this weekend after I've exhausted all "Hunger Games" books and its progeny, and go back to watching reruns of "Big Bang Theory."   Flying my nerd flag high, folks! 
 

Gone Drinkin'

I know you'll be glad to know that I've abandon the Beatle's song thing.  Although I really wanted to use "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey."  If you didn't know the Beatles used drugs, I think that pretty much clinches it.

Hooray, renovation is over.  Actually, it's been over since January, but life happens (blah, blah, blah).  Too much chardonnay, not enough time as it were.  Screw the excuses, I just got lazy.  But I know all my followers (hello you two!) will be thrilled to know I'm back in the groove.

I know they say a good blog has a point and a specific focus.  I feel perhaps I strayed from that, so I'll try to get back on the proverbial horse and attempt to entertain and enlighten you with the life and trials of my and Mr. D's childfree fabulous escapades.  While you sit there in judgment calling me an booze-hound with an empty life....po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to.  (But since there are currently only two of you, and one never comments, I think I can handle the criticism.  And the other...well, I know where you live Sara.  And I'll just chalk it up to your pregnancy hormones.  Kisses!)

Peace out, homeys!
