Sunday Ramblings

My weekend has been anything but exciting, this Navy wife is ready for her husband to be HOME! 

Lets start with Saturday. I attempted to go to our local Wal-Mart (only because its 45 min to the closest Target) which was a total hot mess. Let me remind myself never to make that adventure after a huge snow on the first of the month again. 

In good news when I got home my new neck pillow was waiting for me! It is Luna from Sailor Moon and I can not be more excited about that! 

It has worked wonders on my neck while I read and I am so excited about it I could burst! Where do you get one of these delightful neck pillows? I got it off Etsy at a place called Comfort By Felicia Rose. She has all sorts of neck pillows that she hand makes. I have to say the quality is fantastic. She also has a Facebook page which you can find here. 

Saturday night I enjoyed my neck pillow as I read some more in my book Allegiant which is the 3rd book in the Divergent series. I have to say, I already like it much better than the second but not as good as the first. I can't wait to write a review on that one! I also watched Gone With The Wind since it was on TV. One of my absolute favorite movies! I always wonder what it would be like to live in those big beautiful houses and wear those huge dresses. Things seemed so simple then although I'm sure they didn't think things were simple just like we don't always think things are simple. 

Today I am watching a The Walking Dead marathon on AMC. It is one of my favorite shows and even though I have watched every episode I watch it again. I can wait for it to return on February 9!  I think I have a thing for stories that involve an alternate world in which we live. Maybe that's why I enjoy reading so much. I intend to read The Walking Dead comics after the show runs its course. Reading them beforehand might spoil what's going to happen. 

Today is also the last day of my Clomid. I have an ultrasound on Wednesday to make sure the baby making process is on course. Lets hope it is and that I'm not setting myself up for heartbreak. 

Despite missing my husband so much when he is gone, I never let it get me down. I wish he was here to make fun of me for watching gone with the wind and using a neck pillow but, I make the best of it while he is gone. Luckily, this is just an underway and he will be home soon! (Only to leave again in a few weeks)

We now have a Facebook page that you can access here and an Instagram account under the name "lifeonthebooks"

Easy Like Sunday Morning

I enjoy Sunday mornings, always have. There is a certain kind of peace that the world has on a Sunday morning that no other morning has. 

This Sunday morning my dog is driving me crazy since the rain has kept him mostly inside for the past 24 hours. I have a true crime show on, which I enjoy watching. I have a nice coffee made through my Keurig and my husband is still sleeping since he had duty last night. Later today I am hoping to watch my Carolina Panthers beat the 49ers! Sundays are easy around here. 

I started a new book last night, the ever so popular Divergent series. My first thought in the first few chapters has been how it is incredibly similar to "The Hunger Games". While I enjoyed The Hunger Games series I feel like the idea of a distant and broken America has been played out. It is a catchy read however. Despite its similarities, Divergent has not made me want to cast it away. I would like to see where it goes. The movie is coming out in a few months and I would like to be able to compare the two. The movie has the young lady that played in The Secret Life of the American Teenager in it, who I hope has better acting skills in the Divergent movie than in the Teenager show. 

I am off to finish this Sunday morning with a second cup of coffee and the next chapter of the book. My crime show is ending, the wife was the murderer, as the wife always is in those shows!
