I think I figured out the twist in Shutter Island (the book) halfway in, and I'm really hoping I didn't. I also hope the movie is as good as it looks in the previews.

You probably did. I really enjoyed the book, I think mostly because it's been a long time since I read that type of story, but the ending really disppointed me.

All it takes is a bit of product!

What kind of product? I'm bored with my hair and willing to try something new.

Is The Good Wife discussed anywhere?

Your hair's pretty thick? With a bit of natural wave?

msbelle, so happy for you! You're definitely going to beat me at getting things done. I work at a glacial pace.

I'm eating some kind of beef empanada, and it is good. I should have gotten more, because she had like 5 different kinds, but I only got two. Can't recall what the other is, tomorrow's lunch. Or dinner. This one has beef and peppers and egg and who knows what. Nom.

I've been on the go since 8: farmer's market (fresh eggs, empanadas, coffee,) then to EC for a haircut and fruitless trip to Target. Then home and over to Tiff and Matt's to help assemble wedding invites. Then pool for a mile and a half. Home, dinner. Manicure next. Tomorrow: up early, TJ's, another stab at a different Target, grocery for anything I can't get for cookies at TJs. Swim, cookies, laundry, clean floors, maybe dye my hair if I have time. It's a bunch of shit that didn't get done in the last couple weeks because of the damned weather and commute. I'm tired already.

Not really, msbelle. Doesn't have a thread that would apply to it, so mention of it would go here, in a Grey's Anatomy fashion.

Damn, Sara. Things I've gotten done since 8am today: woke up, realized it was 8am, went back to sleep. Woke up again when my alarm went off at 10, slept some more. Woke up at 12:30. Got up. Made a smoothie. Read a book. Read the Internet. Failed to arrange to go to yoga with a friend, was secretly happy because that meant not havin to rxcercise. Tried to nap off headache, failed. Watched a few minutes of curling. Am now waiting at bus stop to go downtown and pick up my fixed new glasses (which were wrong the first time). I know I'm three hours behind you, but...

The thing is sara, not much needs doing. the backyard work is just hauling stuff out and some of that has to be done by pros. Then a short wall to be built on the edge of the small covered patio, again has to be done by pros - a smaller job than your deck. The painting will just require me to make some choices when I am down there in 5 weeks. Then probably making some flower bed areas, maybe planting some crepe myrtles (sp?) both in the front yard to reduce how much lawn there is to water and mow. Oh and I am very likely changing lighting fixtures, there is quite a bit of polished brass.

Speaking of GA, isn't Calli having thought that Alex was the elevator hero and sleeping with him a complete reversal of canon, given how she and George got together?

msbelle, I am several eps behind on The Good Wife, but I will catch up some day soon, and then I would be happy to talk about it.

I've been watching The Good Wife. . . but not the repeats.
