Hello, dear friends. This is the first time that I have been home alone in two weeks, and it feels pretty darn good. Don't tell my family I said that.
I took down all the Christmas decor yesterday with very little help from the Mister. The house looks so bare now. I think a shopping expedition to Homegoods is in order.
I hate this time of year. It is so gray and depressing, and it lasts forever. Oops. Never mind. One of my resolutions is not to complain. Forget I said that.
Here are a few suggestions for filling your idle time in ugly January.
On my gotta read list
This novel is described as a psychological thriller ala Hitchcock and takes place on Beacon Hill. Can hardly wait until this one is released on January 10th.
Described as rich in suspense, the plot centers around a young couple who are living in NYC searching for success. This one comes out January 17th.
Four friends agree to write anonymous letters about their deepest, darkest secrets. Sounds like Real Housewives on paper to me. This one is out on January 24th.
This book is described as witty as well as heartbreaking. The main character is a stay-at-home Mom that seems to have everything. Everyone is shocked when she takes her life. From beyond, she works tirelessly to find her replacement. You've got to admit, it's an interesting premise.
Louise is a single mom and working as a secretary. After a rare one-night stand with a guy, she later learns that he is her boss.
Did I ever tell you that the Mister was at one time, my boss?
Not to worry. This is not a tell-all expose on the Mister and me.
P.S. I'm the boss now.
P.S. I'm the boss now.
This novel is full of twists and turns and is already being compared to Gone Girl and The Silent Wife. Ron Howard bought the rights and is producing a film based on it.
If it's good enough for Opie, it's good enough for me.
In the theaters...
Oscar buzz on this flick which is based on Ray Crok, the founder of McDonald's. I'm hoping that they will give out free fries with the show. It is in limited release now and scheduled for wide release on 1/20.
synopsis
This one is on my must-see list for this weekend. Octavia Spencer is one of my favorite actresses.
Rumor has it that she makes a mean pie.
Ben Affleck is the star of this American crime drama about the underworld in the Roaring 20's. Sounds like a good one to me. Wide release on January 15th.
When my #1 watched the trailer for A Dog's Purpose at the movie theater over Christmas, she sobbed through the whole thing. It looks like a sweet, heartwarming story to me. The wide release opens on 1/27.
On the Boob Tube...
January 15th is a big night for premieres.

I just think that Jude Law playing a Pope is practically a sacrilege.
Resolution #34: don't exaggerate.
But I wouldn't miss it for the world!
January 15th
Counting the minutes for this one.
Hope I like it as much as The Crown.
This is the Mister's favorite show.
Didn't the guy on the left die in one of the episodes?
The Mister loves shows where they kill people and then bring them back.

Nashville is back and premieres on January 5th on CMT.
I love the music especially when Deacon is center stage.
Olivia Pope and that gorgeous hunk of burnin' love POTUS will be back on January 19th. You can watch the trailer here.
If Tobey isn't included in the rest of this show, I'm going to have to go on medication.
Not that I'm dramatic, or anything.
Oops...
Another resolution:
Calm down and stop taking TV so seriously.
Until next time...
