Entertain Me {A Three Things Thursday post}

1. My lunch break consisted of a trip to the hospital (cafeteria salad) and the library to pick up an item that I put on hold.


"Spirit of the Marathon II" on DVD!

I am sure a lot of people have seen it but the viewings didn't match up with my schedule. I was thisclose to buying it until I checked the library catalog on a whim. And BAM! They had it and it was in stock. Call me superstitious but I think it's good luck that I picked up a day before heading out for a race. I can't wait to watch it tonight after my classes at the YMCA.

2. While I was at the library, I also grabbed a couple of fiction books. A book, with pages - novel, I know. Ha! Novel. I'm so punny.

Anyway ... I'm sorry for that.

While electronics are allowed on flights, I always find myself bored during the take-off and landing. And there's only so many times I can read Sky Mall. So, I grabbed "Then Came You" by Jennifer Weiner. I haven't read in her awhile but I fell in love with her after reading "Good In Bed." Here's hoping I made a good pick! I also downloaded "The Signature of All Things" for my phone after the recommendation on the Another Mother Runner Podcast.

3.  So, I'm obsessed with "Orange Is The New Black." Mark and I binge watched the second season, and I am now re-watching the first season. Because, yeah, it's awesome and I need an outlet at night.

I even changed my running outfit to go with the "We Wear Orange on Wednesdays" thing. Fun or obsessed, you be the judge. (Use hashtag #runootd on Instagram and Twitter for a chance to be featured in a Runner's World weekly update.)

By the way, Mark and I will take binge-worth show suggestions that are available on Netflix and/or Prime.

What's keeping you entertained?

    1. "Scandal!" I keep saying I'm going to watch it, and I haven't.

      "Dexter" is a favorite of ours, too.

    1. YES! But maybe I'll rewatch it. SO. Good. We're waiting for Netflix to debut the last season of "The Killing," too. I think that's in August. Have you seen that? It's good but frustration-inducing.

  3. I just finished binge watching the newest season of Scandal. Started in on Revenge this week and I am loving it! My husband and I binge on Parks and Rec any chance we get together. I've been debating Orange is the New Black and it sounds like I need to watch it!

    1. Another one for "Scandal!" Parks and Rec might be fun, too. A little break from the drama.

  4. I only watch The Bachelorette, which is total blah this season so I've got nothin'.

  5. I don't even know if it is on Netflix, but my favorite shows were Dexter and Mad Men.

    Oh, and there was this little show called My So Called Life. I have them on DVD and when I was recovering my broken foot, I re-watched them all. Totally juvenile guilty pleasure.

    1. I am a big fan of both those. I watched four seasons of "Mad Men" when I was on maternity leave with Miles. I think there are more now.

      And YES to "My So Called Life." I watched it when it first aired and still love it now.

    1. Sass. Always. I almost started "Orphan Black" but hesitated. Because I'm weird.

  7. Boss is really good. The hubs and I watched it and were sad to find out they weren't making another season.
