So first, my couch arrived and it was the wrong color. I ordered brown and it came as gray. By the time I realized it the box was open and we were putting it together. Than later I was looking at what I ordered and what I had and realized they sent me the wrong loveseat altogether. I ordered the “Copenhagen” and they sent me the “Palisades”.
Here it is with throw pillow we got to match our rug. (you can see a tiny edge of the girls’ pink furry blanket LOL)
Anyway, it’s likely not our forever couch but it will do for now and it replaced the old broken one!
The Hollywood Bowl was a grand time. All the Star Wars nerds with their light sabers was pretty cute.
All I have to say about the Star Trek/Hemsworth/Pine thing is that I don’t think any of us would like to be told by our employers that they were cutting the pay we were promised. It’s Bullshit and Paramount needs to pay up or ruin everything. Fuckers.
In writing, I didn’t do much over the weekend but begin my Professor Spock sequel. Today, I finished Young and Beautiful. YAY. And that’s about where I am at this point.
Temps are back to the norm for August. About 88 or so today. Not bad but we are getting hit with a little more humidity than we are used to getting. I don’t know where you live but the kiddies go back to school this week. Back in my day (yes, yes, old person) we didn’t go back until the Tuesday after Labor Day. But I guess the kids here get more days off during the year to make up for it. Like I know they get three weeks at Christmas, which we did not. The stores were crowded with back to school shoppers this weekend. But now that that’s about over, I expect to see the Halloween stuff show up at any time. I already spotted a Halloween Spirit shop coming soon in one of the vacant buildings near us.

I like the couch! M did a good job putting it together 🙂 I like both pillows too
Glad you enjoyed the Hollywood Bowl. I would have been a nerd with a lightsaber lol
Kids go back to school here after labor day. Why? B/c VA has the “Kings Dominion law,” which prohibits public schools from opening before Labor Day.
Anyway, yay for Halloween approaching!

As to the next movie news- I’m praying Paramount comes to its senses! Star Trek wouldn’t be Star Trek without Chris Pine!! I’d be broken-hearted if he wasn’t in it!
Yeah to updates and sequels!!! ❤
I like the couch, pillows and all! Good job M putting it together. Sounds like a lot of work.
Hollywood Bowl sounds like a trip. I've done nothing summery this year… Of course, it's rained incessantly here on the East coast! My three will all be in college before the end of this month. Currently buying all the dorm necessities for my freshman twins, plus school supplies and two laptops. Talk about sticker shock! …And ughhhh to rushing the seasons!
My Dad is home from the hospital for the second time in two months. He feels well, at this time. Dad doesn't want any major surgery but would accept chemo if it's advised.
Enjoy the rest of the summer.

I think there’s no way to replace him, honestly, I think the movie will just not get made and frankly that’s preferable to me then them fucking it up at this point.
Best wishes to your dad ❤
