Book Review: Wicked

I just finished "Wicked" by Gergory Maguire. It's supposed to be the "REAL" story behind the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz." It's also been made into a musical, which is supposed to be really good.

I thought it was a really good book and I really liked it for the most part. The one thing that is still driving me nuts, though, is that it brings up questions and then doesn't answer them for you. (Like, for instance, why the water made the witch melt. Or why she was green. Or who the Wizard really was.) I HATE it when books do that!! (Movies too!) The one thing this book really made me want to do is watch "The Wizard of Oz" again. My friend David lent it to me, so I might bring the movie one day when we have lunch plans and we'll get food to go and come back and watch it. I think that would be a great day of work!! =)

Random Ramblings

Yesterday was a pretty good day...I made it home to mom and dad's house in traffic that wasn't TOO bad, even though I left about half an hour later than I normally do. I showed them The Pink Sparkly and they very much approved! =) Dinner was left over homemade chicken soup and it was so good. I love my mom's home cooking! Volleyball was fun and quite a workout, as it's starting to be super competitive all the time. I got home pretty late and was totally wiped out, so I took a shower, talked to G for just a few mins and then went to bed.

Today has been a good day, too, when I finally got out of bed...I was so tired this morning, I finally had to MAKE myself get up at 8:45, which is half an hour later than I hoped to be up. I finished my book on the metro, got a lot done in the morning, and had yummy Chipotle for lunch. I tried the carnitas (pulled pork) and I am not such a fan. I think I'll be sticking with chicken. Ugh, I am SOOO stuffed though, I feel like I can hardly move.

It's soooo nice out today...sunshiney and warm, crocuses and daffodils coming up, birds singing, motorcades driving by. ;) It's nice! I wish it would stay this warm out, but I think it's going to get cold again. Bummer.
