What I'm Reading This Week #22

Howdy do and welcome to the last Friday of May.  😑  Even though it was a short week, it always seems just a tinge longer than the previous week.  I'm getting antsy because I want to see blooms.  When you're growing from seed, it requires a patience I don't naturally have and trying to keep things from getting to everything before it has a chance to.  Then reading about some God awful hornworm that can just come in and decimate your tomato plants overnight.  It makes me wonder at what point do I put up the insect netting over the bucket veggies.  Other than that, not much else going on this week. Let's hop straight into: Does Walking Build Muscle, Burn Fat, or Both ?  (The part about e-scooters is often a discussion as kids on them and e bikes rocket past us in the park or on a sidewalk going 20 mph.  These kids are going to have ZERO muscle.)

Hump Day Poll: Movie Flip Flop




What is a movie you loathed as a kid but like as an adult?

I absolutely REFUSED to see Dirty Dancing when it came out.  I am one of those people that if the masses love it, I instantly want nothing to do with it.  I was not a Patrick Swayze fan at all and when my freshman football player boyfriend and I visited my friend, her mom pulled me aside and said "he's cute!  He looks like Patrick Swayze."  I couldn't unsee it after that and that didn't last too much longer after that.  

But at some point, I did see it on TV maybe 4 or 5 years after its release, I couldn't help myself and really like the movie.  Dare I say Patrick Swayze was charming in it even if YouTube footage behind the scenes show the contrary a bit and Jennifer Grey pointing out how he absolutely hated the line about putting Baby in a corner.  I can look past that and enjoy the innocence of the time it represented even if the movie is about people dry humping on the dance floor.

  1. I felt the same way about Dirty Dancing. I had no desire to see it when it first came out because it was all everyone was talking about and I actually got kind of tired of hearing about it. I didn't see it until I was in my 20's and then I realized why people liked it so much. I am not surprised it is still considered a classic today.

  2. As a kid I did not like A Christmas Story or Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. As an adult, I really listened to the subtleties with the humor (especially with the wonderful narrator, Jean Shepherd in A Christmas Story) and appreciated it so much more. Christmas Vacation is always good for a laugh and being the hockey fan I am, years ago I bought me and the hubs Griswold hockey jerseys and we'd go to the games with our little moose cups at Christmastime.
