I slept in a little today, yay!
When I got up I made myself a coffee and rented a movie on Apple TV.
LION
I read the book awhile back and had been wanting to see the movie ever since.
I tried to watch it right away but the streaming kept pausing so I stopped it for awhile and played some Candy Crush.
After a bit I tried it again and it seemed to work better.
Mom came up and watched it with me too.
I had tried to watch it once before but the captioning wasn't working.
They speak Hindi through quite a bit of the show so watching it without knowing what they were saying was difficult and I turned it off.
Mom has difficulty reading since her stroke and I realized because of that,she was probably feeling the same way I had. So many things have changed for her.
She could read some of it and understood the gist of what was going on and I read out the captioning to her when it was important to the story line or something really long or information that you couldn't just gather from watching the scene.
I enjoyed the movie myself, they changed a few things from the book and it was slow at parts.
I didn't really like how they portrayed his adoptive brother and I am not sure that I like Nicole Kidman as the mom. Dev Patel's hair kept annoying me too, I'm not sure why but it did.
Sunny Pawar was awesome though as the young Saroo.
He just made you want to scoop him up in your arms and take care of him.
What a great story though and it was a true story at that.
I think of that vulnerable 5 year old boy being in that situation and what if that had been my little boy.
It is just unimaginable, unthinkable, horrible.
I wonder also how many times something like this has happened but without the happily ever after ending.
Some things in this world are just not right.
After the movie I did a bit of laundry then I got myself a snack
and a cuddle buddy
settled in to watch the last two episodes of season 9 of Heartland.
Can't believe I finally caught up.
Season 10 is currently airing so is isn't available on Netflix yet. I may have to buy it on ITunes.
I was still hungry after the pop chips so I finished off these leftovers from Friday.
I was looking up ideas for something to make for supper and I remembered this recipe that I had seen on Facebook for Crunchy Pea Salad.
I had shared it so that I could find it again later.
It looked kind of strange but interesting and I wanted to give it a try.
I looked it up and figured out what ingredients I would need and headed to the store.
Preparations are under way in the kitchen!
Looks promising, I added some water chestnuts even though the recipe didn't call for them.
I figured a little more crunch couldn't hurt anything.
As promised it was crunchy and tasty.
It was different but I enjoyed it and would make it again
Had some visitors after supper.
Little Mr. H and his favorite place to play.
He comes to me and says "bed" which means he wants to get on our bed and alternate between jumping on it and pretending he is sleeping.
He gets a great kick out of it and so do I.
Makes me nervous though because I am afraid he is going to fall off. We've had a few close calls but so far it hasn't happened.
Little Miss A just loves all the stuffies.
She made a tent bed for Professor Snuggles - she couldn't get him to lay in there and test it out but she tried.
She was proud of it regardless.
My Honey nicknamed him the Balloonatic because he is so crazy about balloons and that hasn't changed any.
Made a pot of chicken chili for My Honey for supper.
Filled it with lots of beans, lentils & veggies.
Should feed us for a few days.
Back to work in the am, boy do the weekends ever fly by!
Now that I have a week of following Weight Watchers under my belt, I am going to add in working out this week.
I am going to hop on the treadmill for at least 20 minutes each day.
I am going to stick with walking for this week and see how my ankle feels next Sunday then plan from there.
Until next time, be happy!
