Where does the time go
Aug. 1st, 2013 12:44 pmSo. It occured to me, thanks to a friend mentioning it, that I haven't been here in a while. I obviously go through spurts where I post a lot and then months of nothing. It's harder to remember, easier to scroll through Facebook and be done, but in reality I'm missing a group of people I like chatting and keeping up with. So I will try to be better about this... again.
Kid update
They are older. Haahaahaa. LM#2 is doing well, he is really starting to use sentences instead of just words, he's a bit of a late bloomer here. LM#1 was crazy earlier so I was upset at first with LM#2 but really, he understands me, even if he isn't listening.
Ahhh listening, the bane of my life right now. Neither child will listen until I reach a certain octive, which I don't like doing but they are giving me no choice. LM#1 thinks he's funny, but he is really just being "fresh" and it's got to stop. I try to have patience, I told Mr KA that I would count to five before correcting/yelling, sadly that did not last very long.
LM#1 graduated Kindergarten. He can read so well it's scary, it's awesome, but wow with the reading. We are trying to stick with it during the summer but it's a little tough.
TV
In general things are satisfying. I suffered through Defiance, not sure why I dind't just walk away, but I watched the whole season and only the last few were really good. Perhaps next season will improve but I'm not going to bother. Also tried Under The Dome, but I while I was slightly intrigued I wasn't very interested. Tried Ray Donovan but most of the characters were so unlikeable that I just couldn't be bothered.
Am currently watching The Bridge really interested in the storyline, love Detective Ruiz (however not pleased with what happened in ep 2 or 3). I do find the leading leader to be hard to swallow, the first episode was hard to get through with her but I loved the story so much I wanted to try again to see if they toned her down. And they did so we will continue with this. Hopefully they will conclude the story at the end of the season. Also started House of Cards (finally joined the streaming side of Netflix, never had a reason to, but I have one now more on that in a sec). I like it, it's really well acted and the story is interesting, plus I love Kevin Spacey.
Also doing Graceland which is a house where pretty people of law enforcement live. One where you have to overlook the fact that it's their home base and no one is ever followed back. Ever. Crazy, but I've been enjoying it for the pretty. Suits has returned and the first couple of episodes where Mike and Harvey were not speaking were rough.
I'm sure there is more but ....
Work
Finally back in our old area after it was reconfirgured, will be here a while. It's cold, there is a vent so that sucks. I also have ants. Called facilities and they said they would lay little house traps but I see nothing. I sit the closest to the outdoor patio, I asked them to spray outside there but evidently no. We will see, if it keeps up I will be forced to do it myself. (And I'm not overreacting because I came in on Monday and opened my drawer to find a cluster of ants going to town on wrapped jolly ranchers and two wrapper hershey kisses. It was not a pleasant way to spend Monday morning.
It's mostly ok, I down a staff member as she retird and I'm having some performance issues with one/two more. So I suppose it doesn't sound that good. :P
Been reading fanfic, mainly Avengers with some Sherlock, H50 and Merlin thrown in. And then there's the new show I've been sucked into - Teen Wolf. And this is alllllll reccea's fault. She mentioned it a couple of times and the last time she did the next day I went to a friend's house so she could dye my hair. She was watching that week's ep of Teen Wolf, so I watched it. Wasn't going too be rude. But I found myself asking questions. And of course it couldn't have just been an action packed teen filled ep, oh noo, this was full of lore and mythology and character background info. Grrrrrr.
So I joined Netflix streaming, probably should have done it before but wasn't sure how much I'd be using it. I am currently on episode 9 of season one (I started watching last Thursday. So... I may be mainlining a little, as much as working full time and having kids allows.) But... Teen Wolf?!? sheesh.
I leave for our summer travels through the state on Saturday and return mid-week, hopefully it will be a nice trip. I'm off all week though but the kids will go to daycare on Thurs and Fri. Some nice alone time for me and Mr. KA, where we will most likely clean and watch tv. Maybe I'll nap.
I will aim to update more frequently.
