The novel: I am alternating between a PD James mystery and another pseudo-mystery “The Pilot’s Wife” by Anita Shreve. These are my first books by either of these authors. As I am not very far into either, I cannot offer much comment on the stories. Time will tell…

The cheesecake, I must say, was a freezer variety, store-bought and probably Sara Lee. I think it was their French Cheesecake. I was thinking “cheese, dairy, nutritional”!! (?) I don’t normally crave cheesecake, usually things in the chocolate family peak my interest more. But this sounded good for whatever reason. Jay and I are about to finish the last of it here in a moment.

The movie: I cannot remember if that night it was part of the 3rd Lord of the Rings: Return of the King or an episode in our yearly holiday dvd addiction: 24. It’s a series that is filmed in real time and takes place over 24 hours of one day, in one hour (47 minute) increments. And most every episode closes with a stunning cliffhanger. So, it’s a bit tense at times! (I guess all this would make it technically NOT a movie, but we call any viewing of audio/visual media a “movie” or “dvd” interchangeably.) Though the series airs on television, we are almost nonexistent tv viewers and prefer the flexibility of enjoying the show on dvd. They release last year’s show on dvd around Thanksgiving each year, so we usually spend some of our “down” time during the holidays catching up on this.

Hmmmm. That was probably way more detail than you wanted!! Thanks so much for stopping by.

If you don’t consider these questions too nosy, I would love to know several things…

*What novel are you reading?

*What kind of cheesecake did you eat?

*What movie did you watch?

I enjoyed reading all of your joyful moments!
