Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce

This was a triggering show that I can't even remember how I found it but it was the show I needed. This famous, successful writer gets divorced from her husband of IDK 15 years or so? So a long time and a lot longer marriage than mine for sure. But I think it's always hard because when you get married you start planning to have this person with you through the rest of your life and depending on your beliefs eternity... and then it flips and you have to plan everything completely differently. It's not about you not having this person around, it's about planning a whole new life. And there are times when we move forward quickly and times when we have to stop and take a break. Sometimes we try too hard to make something new happen and other times we try to force things to go back to "normal" but all the times we're trying to keep our cool through everything. It's emotional and heavy, even if you know it's for the best. What I liked about this show is it shows the mess and the anger but also that you have to find your squad. She has such a close group of friends. It starts out as 3 but grows to many more. I love that because life is about growing and inviting other people to grow. This show starts out talking about Abby (the writer) and her husband Jake but we get to hear about her friends and their relationships too. So we meet Pheobe and Lyla pretty early as new but established best friends and Delia comes in quickly as her divorce lawyer. And then the group gets close and they all start pairing off so that adds more friends. I love that and I'm hoping to do that when the world starts spinning again. I really liked watching Abby meet a lot of guys and then try to force them into some sort of commitment that even she isn't ready for. She makes me feel better because I am constantly torn between wanting to date and find someone to fill that void and wanting to really be myself and be by myself. After finishing the show I find that I really want to be by myself and learn to be happy alone until I can find someone who makes me not want to be alone...

The Hating Game

Lucy Hale is enough to sell this movie to me. But it was really good anyway. A little predictable but that's not surprising for a rom com. The fun thing about this movie is that it really has a real rivalry. And takes place in publishing. Is publishing that big of a deal? There seem to be a lot of movies and TV shows around publishing. But it's about this small, cute, sweet book publisher who merges with a bigger, stiffer, more capitalist book publisher. And then the teams war against each other. So a lot of it is about the work rivalry but it is also about Lucy and Austin Stowell and how they interact together. It's cute. I would totally watch it if I were you.

You

TV show Psychological thriller if there ever was one! Penn Badgley plays the perfect insane character! He's got this look that just scares the crap out of me! The main girl is amazing too but she's nothing compared to Penn. Shay Mitchell is also one of my favorite people from her Pretty Little Liars days. She also plays her character well and I love her. The story has enough real life to make it believable but also enough crazy to well make it crazy. This isn't going to be a long post because only season 1 is on Netflix so there is only 10 episodes but I think they're still going because IMDB has 2 seasons and they left it open. So I will wait patiently for the next installment because I like Penn anyway but this is a new level for him.

Baby is real

I think I felt the baby move. It was very trippy. But very cool as well. We also found out recently that it's a girl. I'm having a baby girl. Now that I'm showing and feeling it and can shop for it, it all seems more real. This isn't going to be a long post because there isn't a lot to say. I'm really not doing much but growing a human is enough for me I guess. So we've started shopping. We have a crib, a bassinet and some artwork for the nursery. Also we just have a bunch of cute clothes. Not anything real big although she's going to be born in winter. The next step is a carseat stroller combo. Any suggestions? Basically I want just a bunch of black or grey onsies for her easy clothes and then sweats and leggings to wear over them.
