TBB Asks: Keep Me Entertained

Hello everyone...and happy 2019!  I had a wonderful, long break, but I'm excited to be back to blogging.  I've got lots of new ideas swirling in my head.  Let's see if any of them make it to the page...fingers crossed.

There are some big changes coming to The Blended Blog, so stay tuned for those.  Today we're back with TBB Asks, and in honor of the Golden Globes (which I quit watching after the red carpet since I only care about the gowns), let's talk about all things entertainment!  

1/ I had to give this one a lot of thought.  Reading has always been one of my favorites, but once I'm done, I'm done.  Which is strange, because I also keep every book that I enjoy.  Now I'm wondering, why?  I'd like to read the Harry Potter series again, but my stack of new books is so high, I don't know when that will happen.

2/ Elizabeth George is my favorite author.  I love, love, love her and wait impatiently for each new book in her Lynley series to be released.  She also lives near me, and I'm hoping I run into her someday.  I was reading one of her books in a waiting room recently, and a woman told me that she had eaten next to her at a local restaurant the week before.  Lucky!

3/ Netflix has made it so easy to binge watch.  A recent favorite was The Haunting of Hill House (soooooo scary but amazing) and we love Ozark (because hello Jason Bateman...at least for me).

4/ Not brand new, new, but The Goldberg's is such a great show.  Consistently funny, great acting, and it totally reminds me of my 80's childhood.

5/ It's a tie between The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins.  Clearly Julie Andrews is my idol.  I'm afraid to go see the new Mary Poppins movie, but everyone has been raving about it, so we'll see.

6/ There are so many great movies coming out in 2019.  I'm looking forward to Shazam (Zachary Levi is adorable), Rocketman (Elton John biopic), and Toy Story 4 (Conner loved Toy Story as a little guy).

7/ I think it was "America" when I was 9 or 10.  My grandma lived near an amphitheater and took us to concerts all the time.  It also might have been Barry Manilow, in the same place.  Side note:  after the Barry Manilow concert, we waited in the car and followed his limousine to a hotel.  Except it wasn't actually him inside.  My grandma was so much fun and I miss her everyday.

8/ Michael Jackson.  Not seeing him in concert is a big regret for me. 

9/ I love music, and I love going to concerts.  Pink is one of my favorites, along with the Foo Fighters, Fleetwood Mac, Queen and Stevie Wonder.

10/ I should be streaming more.  My younger son is a huge music fan and has almost 10,000 songs on his Spotify playlist, so I need to steal from him.  Most of my music listening comes in the car.
