Just What I Needed

 The boys and I went to the Zoo this morning with a friend and picnicked. It was good to just get away in the early morning and do something plus we were back in time for nap time. I think that kind of benefits me, am I right? LOL. Bentley enjoyed his time with his little buddies, I think the elephants are still his favorite. Sawyer sucked on his toes and talked, so it was pretty fun. The playground where we picnicked was a little too packed with kids, so I didn't enjoy chasing Bentley through the crowds. 
 It looks like the Tropical Storm is getting close. I saw on the news that Greenville was already flooding. The weather is so out of wack! We never had a Winter this year and then Hurricane season started almost a month to early. What's next? Snow in July? So after I put the boys to bed this afternoon, the door bell rang. I opened the door and there was a woman standing there with a huge bouquet of flowers. She asked if I was Megan and of course I said yes! She handed them over and I couldn't stop smiling. Hubs ended up sending me flowers! He hasn't been very romantic since way before we had Bentley and I thought maybe he outgrew the "romancing" but maybe he still has an itty bitty tiny tad bit of it left in him, LOL. He's too sweet. They are by far the prettiest flowers I have EVER gotten from him and I can't wipe the smile off my face.

 What's for supper? I am seriously thinking about not cooking and going out to grab something. I haven't set anything out and I am already starving! I used to cook all of the time while Hubs was home, but since he's gone right now, I always cook to much. I try and half everything, but I still have so much left over. It's a waste. I can't wait until I start cooking again. 


 Do you have the App Spotify? If so, how does it work? I downloaded it, but it says it's only giving me 48 hours of a free trial. Is it like Pandora or better? I noticed that everyone is using it and sharing it on their FB wall, but I for some reason am out of the loop. I like what I see so far, but I need to know how to use it. I have 10 little fingers trying to help me type and I feel like this is taking forever, lol. What other Apps do you have that you want me to share in a Blog?

So you know how I've been talking about the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy? Well, a friend posted a Review she found on FB and I thought that I would share it with you! Please, go out and Buy it! Kindle it! Borrow it! Do it! I am half way finished with the second book, having 2 kids--it's hard to finish it so quickly! I am addicted!

This review is from: Fifty Shades Freed (Fifty Shades Trilogy) (Kindle Edition)
An undercurrent, by definition, is the hidden movement of water beneath the surface; its tug and motion are only perceptible upon submersion. Fifty Shades is exactly like an undercurrent. You dive into the story thinking you know what to expect, only to find out once you're in it that it's something else completely. And Fifty Shades Freed is the riptide of currents. You'll be swept away with a force that is impossible to escape, not that you'd want to escape. You'll savor every moment, every word, and when it's over you'll want to pick it up and start again from the beginning. The only thing I'd like to caution readers about with the Fifty Shades Trilogy--it will literally ruin other books for you.

So many readers glance at the back cover this book and expect an erotic novel about BDSM. Yes there are some BDSM elements to the story, but that's not what this novel is about. Fifty Shades is probably the best romance I've ever read. It's impossible to put into words in a review what this book will make you feel. It's so emotional. It is authentic, open, honest, and at times both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I've recommended this series to so many people who told me that it was out of their comfort zone because of the BDSM. However, after practically browbeating them into reading it, every one of them came to me raving about how wonderful and unexpected it was. Still, I'm not going to lie, the erotic scenes are hot as hell--but they are tasteful, and nothing to shy away from in my opinion.

Christian Grey is the hero, and he defines the word contradiction. He is THE Alpha male. Strong, unbelievably sexy, and dominating, but just like other parts of this story, there are things unseen below the surface. There's a reason Ana refers to him as her "lost boy". Yes he is extremely successful, sensual and dominating (he doesn't apologize for his predilections), but he is misunderstood. He uses control as a mechanism to guard his feelings, and despite his behavior, Ana sees past the surface to the man beneath.

It's ironic that Christian spends most of his time trying to protect Ana. Initially, he views her as fragile, but as he quickly learns, appearances can be misleading. He discovers through Ana that strength is not only about brawn and toughness. Strength is displayed in bravery, fortitude, and the ability to cope with everything life throws at you, and Ana epitomizes inner strength. Not only is Ana the first woman to see Christian for who he really is, she is the first woman to stand up to Christian, and because of that she earns his respect, devotion, and unwavering love.

I've decided to rebel. There is no way I can justify classifying this novel as a 5 star read, so here it is: I've hijacked another star and I'm giving 6 stars to Fifty Shades Freed. I'm just hoping this blatant infraction of the rules is enough to warrant a run in with Christian's twitchy palm. I RECOMMEND (in shouty caps) this book to everyone who loves an amazing love story, because that's really what this book is. 


  There is one thing I do hate about the book and that's the language. I think there it too much curse words in the book, but I try my best to over look it. If you need to spice up your sex life or add to the spice, this is the book for you!


I now have twenty little fingers trying to grab this computer, so I am signing off! Hope you have a fantastic rest of the day and I will see you back here tomorrow!
