- We’re continuing our holiday movie binges, including some movies we’ve never seen before. This week we started How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and… this movie is scary and disturbing. Do children like it? I think it would have given me nightmares as a kid! We haven’t finished it yet.
- We took a holiday movie break to watch the new sci fi film The Midnight Sky on Netflix last night. I thought it was well done but I just checked Rotten Tomatoes and apparently I’m in the minority there.
- Is anyone else experiencing texting issues since the iPhone update (in Nov? Dec?). I am on a few group chats where my texts are no longer received or are received late, and I also do not receive texts. All of these chats include an Android user. It’s extremely annoying. It happens in non-group texts with Android users too, and I’ve heard it happens iPhone to iPhone too. Mica and I moved to Google Chat to avoid it.
- A few weeks ago I was in Aldi near the produce, shopping for gold potatoes. I brought them up to my face mask to try to smell if any were rotten – I have bad luck there of always getting one rotten one in my bag. Another shopper asked me if that was how you’re supposed to shop for potatoes. It was so sweet and sincere! I told them why I was trying to smell them, and warned them about the potatoes and how there’s usually a smashed apple in the bags of apples too. Then I saw them bringing a bag of the tiny potatoes up to their mask to smell and chuckled and said usually there is not a rotten one in the bag of small ones. Long story long, it was cute they thought I knew wtf I was doing because I really don’t.
- I found out this week that I’m starting my new work role on January 18th. It feels far away but it’ll be here soon enough!

The Midnight Sky is on my Netflix ready to watch list. George Clooney has been doing interviews a lot for it and he has mentioned the poor reviews and taking them in stride (and even joking about them)
I am glad he is! It wasn’t perfect, but I have watched A LOT of garbage space movies, especially on Netflix, so it didn’t bother me. And it was a slower pace, but I actually watched it and wasn’t on my phone or painting rocks the whole time.
“We’re rotten potatoes!” -🥔🥔🥔🥔
I thought the issue with our SMS conversations was on my end because I switched to the Android Messaging app. I guess all the updates are messing things up.
Buahahahhahahahaha. Good one!
Yeah, I think it’s all updates on every phone. Steven is having issues on his phone after the Android update too.
I actually really love How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but I agree that it is rather dark! There’s just something so weird about it that I like, haha.
Ha! I am glad you love it because it looks like a lot of work went into it, and I read about how Jim Carrey had to learn crazy torture survival techniques to put that makeup on! I need to finish watching it. I was put off by the glass chewing and general nastiness. Ha.
I do not smell potatoes but I usually feel for any “soft” potatoes or apples in each bag!
And do you almost always find one, or is that just Aldi? LOL.
