lilyelayne hope you had a good time at the wedding and didn't have to deal with any drama.
Inspired by aggiebug we're going to a strawberry festival today. The farm is out in the area that DH would like us to move to next year so we'll probably do a little driving around exploring the area too and have lunch out there.
Gone Girl. I never read the book so maybe I missed something... but to me, that ending was stupid
Ha yeah I didn't see the movie. I didn't understand the hype behind the book. I kept wondering when the book was going to get good... Spoiler alert it didn't.
Omg I'm at Sam's Club 1/2 hour before they open. Not sure if I'm more mad about having to sit and wait or if I'm mad I turned into one of those people...

Wedding was uneventful re: my personal situation. Some friends came over afterward to play board games, which was fun.
I read Gone Girl. It was a page turner but not great. Then I read her book Sharp Objects and it was horrible. It was gross and unbalanced. So no more of her books for me.

I liked Sharp Objects. Dark Places was good, but the ending needed work.
We took the girls to see the new house. DH and I walked away with a lot of worries about the air quality. But the ducts haven't been cleaned in 35 years and the furnace and AC need to be replaced. So hopefully once we have done that it will be much better. There's just so much work that needs to be done! Which we knew about but it's just stressful and a little depressing. It's hard to be excited about the new house. First world problems.

mishka29 could you make cleaning the ducts and replacing the furnace and AC a condition of purchasing? We did this when H bought his first house and the roof needed major repairs.

No, it's not possible since the deal is signed and we weren't the only bidders so we weren't in much of a position to negotiate. We bought it knowing that work had to be done. We've just never done any renos or major house work before so this whole thing is stressful.

Good luck getting it done. Maybe you can get a package deal for everything.

I couldn't stand the illegal drug use with the thirteen year old sister. Couldn't get past it. I also thought the killer was obvious from the beginning & there wasn't enough misdirection. I recollect some of the book being distractingly vulgar, though that seems odd because I read so much Stephen King and that's a fairly often compliant of his books that I don't mind.
Crazy day at work today. One department did no real testing before opening day. So of course there were some issues. But it turned out to be a beautiful day and didn't rain. And we went out to dinner with my family after work, that was fun.
Weekend was busy so I didn't get a chance to catch up here. We helped move the world's most cluttered household (not mine!) so that was intense... Back at work today and determined that this week will be better than the last.
mishka29, I hope you can get the ventilation fixed easily. Just cleaning the ducts can be a world of differense, so hopefully it'll get better.
