This was a nifty little thriller. Admittedly, the first part of the movie was a little boring, but the last 20 minutes sure paid off–I did not see that coming. I don’t want to give away the plot, but I guess you could say it was a dinner party gone awry.
My rating: 3.5/5
While I like to cook, it’s nice to catch a break every once in a while. This past weekend was one of those times.
Saturday night, we met up with Carol and Bob at Pour on Center in Ebensburg. The food and drinks were excellent. I was impressed. We’ll definitely be going there again.
Yesterday, we celebrated the January (my sister in-law) and February (Brian) birthdays with dinner at my parents’ house. We had dinner and I also took home leftovers, so that solved my supper problem for last night, too.
But, I’m on cooking duty again today, so the streak has ended. At least Brian is on the schedule for this week (on Friday).
I saw an ad on Facebook for a service called Stitch Fix. Stich Fix works as follows: a personal stylist chooses items for you based off of your personal style profile. These items are mailed on an interval of your choosing and you keep whatever you want and send back the rest. Link is in the sidebar (full disclosure: it’s an affiliate link).
I got my first “Fix” today and was pleasantly surprised with the items. They are definitely outside what I normally wear, but I did like and am keeping everything (I guess it just goes to show that advertising works.) I’m not terribly stylish, so I hopes this helps me to up my style quotient for 2017.
And now it’s time for the monthly knee update. Jake saw his surgeon yesterday. He is making good progress, but will need to continue with PT for another 6 weeks, He’ll just be going once a week instead of twice, though. He can also lose the knee brace except when he’s at school or with his friends because “things can happen”. Unfortunately, he isn’t able to return to Garden Haven yet, but they will revisit that topic at next month’s appointment, where he’ll also be fitted for a different kind of knee brace. On the plus side, he has gym (which he hates) this semester and cannot participate in that. But, his gym teacher said that he can do his PT exercises during class, so that is going to work out well.
I’m starting off the year with some good reads! This was an interesting thriller. Each chapter was told from the perspective of one of the three female characters (which was a little confusing at first, but it was a pretty good way to weave the tale). While I did figure out “whodunit” before I got to the end, I thought it was nicely written.
What I didn’t like was the Britishness of it all. Generally speaking, I do not enjoy British forms of entertainment. Not sure why, but it is what it is.
My rating: 4/5
