And in truth I will do it over and over and over again.
I was thinking about this today, I could order my Dad's Dairy Queen order no problem. Sometimes, people find something that they like and they stick to it.
I am that way.
Today, I was working on a project for work. My office, the way that it is laid out, is often a hub of activity. People stop by to check into the office, stop by the photocopier, come to my candy dish. Being that it's such a busy office I have taken to wearing ear buds and listening to something usually music or recently a audiobook.
And my heart fails. My audiobook.
I am a voracious reader, but I had never listened to an audiobook until just recently.
When I started this project I was listening to a book that was laughable...the way it was narrated, I gave up. I thought, maybe I'm not an "audiobook" kinda girl.
I have been watching the TV series Outlander. I have to say that some of the scenes (Adult Scenes) I found disturbing and actually turned it off one night near the end of the episode "Both Sides Now". I love the show, I love the actors, the characters, the accent....but the final scenes were just getting too much.
So, I decided the book is probably better option, so I started listening to the audiobook. So for me, Outlander (the book) is incredible. Outlander the show, is amazing, they have cast Jamie and Claire (Sam and Catriona) so well. Some of the scenes with Captain Randall--I can't watch. That's when I realized that the "artistic license" I was watching, the book would leave to your imagination.....and I was right.
*Bonus* I am starting to think with a Scottish Accent. How can that be a bad thing??
And today, I was finding my self literally cheering for the characters and then I realized, it's happened again. I've fallen in love with the characters...and I am coming to the end of my book.
And then the next step is the mourning....it can affect me for days...when the book is over and I am feeling lost and sad.
Then, I re-read the book.
I used to think I was ridiculous and that maybe I was the ONLY person who thinks like this....then I trolled pinterest....and found some people who think like me...
