1. We saw Solo. I was extremely skeptical but ended up very pleasantly surprised by how good the movie is. ( SPOILERS )

2. Emma and I watched The Hitman's Bodyguard last night. So much fun, y'all. It's like an AU Fury and AU Deadpool go on a road trip. It's really violent but very, very funny. If you like Deadpool, you'll like this one.

“The journey to reach Thanos will take some time. We will spend that time getting in touch with our feelings and loving each other and our beloved lost comrades. We will share and communicate! We will build a bifrost of love and thus reach our beloved dead even across the voids between planes! In this way, we will make sure they remain connected to us.”

“Gross,” mutters Nebula.

“And then! We will murder Thanos with our bare hands!! Is that understood?!” finishes Thor, roaring by now, a bright, crazed grin fixed on his face. Sparks of lightning are crackling off of him. Steve inches his chair back from him, just in case.

1. We were supposed to go to my parents' today, but Fiona threw up all night long, poor baby. She was pretty much okay today, but Josh and I both were way too wiped for an 8 hour drive. So, tomorrow we leave!

2. I love technology. I love the internet. I am not a luddite. But you know that moment when you realize that you were born on the other side of the tech chasm, that you didn't grow up with google or smart phones or Siri? I had one of those this week when I was reading reviews of Rogue One in which the physical appearance of a character was pretty universally panned, and the whole time I was watching the movie, I was all ( Spoilers for the name of a character in the movie )

3. I took all of your excellent advice and spent most of this week reading Hobbit fanfic. However, I've run into a problem there. I am getting bored with the eleventy millionth retelling of the quest for Erebor. No matter the variations, I can read the same story only so many times before it starts to get boring. And there are surprisingly few fics that are set post movie that don't also go through 100,000 words of retelling the quest. I am also not very interested in modern AUs for this fandom. What do?

I had an idea that the ( spoilers for The Force Awakens )

I forgot to mention that Fiona woke up on Christmas morning covered in livid hives. We started Benadryl and removed as many contact sources as possible (no more bubble bath and we dried her off with one of my T-shirts, the peep show one Exec sent me, instead of a towel laundered in their detergent, etc). The next day, we contacted her doctor because they were still around and her face and hands and feet were swelling. So probably something she ate instead of something she touched. She's been on round the clock Benadryl since then, and I've been keeping a food diary. The hives are almost gone now, but the doc said we'd need to continue Benadryl for a day or two after they're completely gone.

To my knowledge, she ate nothing at Josh's family's she hadn't eaten before. She ate pancakes made from Bisquick with Great Value syrup; she'd eaten pancakes before although not for awhile since I am a bad mom and don't make breakfast and probably not that syrup. We ate at a Japanese restaurant Tuesday lunch and she didn't break out until Friday morning, so I don't think it could have been that delayed of a reaction. IDK Everything else was like apples and cheese and goldfish and lunch meat, all stuff she eats here.

Despite looking horrific, she wasn't super itchy and barely even scratched and she acted fine the whole time, playing and happy. So that's good.

I'm just terrified that she has a food allergy, or worst case scenario, something like celiac which bizarrely can manifest in hives and other skin ailments. :( I am hoping that she just decided to lick the poinsettias or shove some horrible rock in her mouth and that it's a one off thing.

So we made the trek to Memphis today to see Star Wars: Episode 3. I went with my husband Josh and three of his guy friends. What follows is our collective thoughts on the film. Most of the wittiness/cleverness can be attributed to not me. LOL
