Stuff and Things 5/22

+I have been pulled headfirst into the world of Gossip Girl.  Good Lord.  Where have I been for the last 7 years?

Actually, I try to avoid the WB/CW like the plague because that's the network that totes stuff like The Vampire Diaries (or am I missing out on that too?) and other overdramatic shows directed at the under-17 crowd.

But when Scott was in Colorado last weekend, I started watching on Netflix.  I'm already just about finished with season 2.  That's …several episodes in less than a week.  And I have a job, guys.

I find it fascinating and the acting, I think, is actually really good.

My favorite?

However, as someone warned me on Twitter, you've got to watch in small doses.  It messes with your mind.  The dramatics, the clothing, the now-ancient cell phones.  (I saw my cell phone from 2006 AND the one from 2008.  Fun!)  However, it was very hard to go back to my plebeian lifestyle after a weekend of Gossip Girl, popcorn, and wine.  It actually felt difficult and unfair.  That's a sign that maybe I need to take a break from the show.

+However, the week wasn't all non-glamourous un-fun.  I got to go to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum on a field trip!  The third time for me.

+Acupuncture hurt this week.  Last week, I didn't feel a thing and it was wonderfully relaxing.  This week, ugh.  The doctor said that means it's working, especially in certain spots that seem to be extra tender. I was exhausted afterward. It's a frustrating process.  She also told me to stay away from cold stuff (beverages).  Not sure how I feel about that.  It's iced coffee season.

+And that's all I have today.  Sorry for the weak post.

+Tomorrow I have "before" pictures from our new house in Colorado.  Exciting stuff!
