I finished The Hunger Games trilogy.


I have not read in trilogy in a very long time – maybe some time in Middle School/High School – (I am not sure if the SVH books really count)

Bottom line they were good. Suzanne Collins did an amazing job of creating characters that captured my attention and heart.

I did not see them as science fiction or fantasy – certainly would not put them in that bucket.   I finally went to see the movies - The four of us  - including Baby Ocean who did amazingly well. Of course my eyes welled up a few times and there was a slight constriction in the back of my throat - but good.

I am curious what Gale is doing in District 2…

Book Two

I really had no intentions of reading The Hunger Games books.
Book Two - was so good. But I am loving them.
I am cheering silently for Katniss and screaming inside at the over reach of the government.

OK – Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
It took me awhile to get on the bandwagon and the first third of the book I put down at least five times.
But I picked it back this week while on business travel and finished it. It is good!
I will read book two and check out the movie when I get a chance.

This business trip has been refreshing – I feel slightly more strategic about my job and decisions to stay, visited great people I have worked with for years and miss dearly, a quick trip to Trader Joe’s and a little a peace.
Watched frivolous TV on Showtime and Fox News. No regrets about tv at home but it was nice to veg out.
Obviously, I am carrying this constant struggle to figure things out. Big things, little things and stupid things. arggghh....

Hoping the weather is warm this weekend so I walk some of that out this weekend and take in the missed yoga of the week.
