So I'll drive you all crazy and tell you how my husband only wants to do the microwave instant rice. I don't like it. But if I'm busy and don't come get out the REAL ( jasmine) rice and take time to wash it and cook it, that's what we get.

We saw the men's short earlier in the week, and I stayed up late the other night to watch the women's free skate. It was such a treat. I'm watching the women's short now and I just feel close to my mom and grandma who would love to watch the figure skating. I want to catch the gala too. 2/

Growing up we didn't watch sports much until the Olympics came around, then wed watch it all. Of course gymnasyin the Summer and figure skating in the winter we're favorites. I had family in town last weekend, so missed a lot after the opening ceremony, so catching up on skating now. 1/ #Olympics

He's looking fine and frisky. He's liking this warmer weather although that may change in the next couple days.

Oh the Amelia Peabody series... They are a hoot! Egyptology with a large side of sleuthing. Featuring 3 strong characters who are forces of nature. I'm due for a re-read. ( And I've held off on the last as I don't want them to be over).

But the build up every time of them taking on a problem and almost coming to a solution only to be beaten at the end really started getting to me. I give them props for the realism where not everything comes out right in the end, but I'm in the camp where I like to see the good guys win.

Normally I'm healthy and an optimistic person, but I was going through a short period when I was not so healthy and was starting to get a little depressed. I thought they were well written and the descriptions when the protagonist took on animal forms were so well done. 2/

I'll defer to those that read all or most as a teen or adult, but just to say- my experience was trying them as an adult during a rather unusual time in my life. 1/

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants.

Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps.

Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

Yes! If they had just stopped it after the Xfinity guy turned on the modem it would have been okay, but having the original characters act so "out" of character pushed it too far. I was really mad by the end.

Mine is winding down now, but this was it about a week ago. They are beautiful. Got lots of interest at work.

We followed up the recent one with a watch of a classic one with Lynda Carter. ( Christopher Reeves and Mark Hamill also we're guest stars - in separate episodes)... And then there's also Vincent Price. ( And so many others).
