...misfortune, that is. I wouldn't say it's pouring yet. Our oven's bake element went out. Aaron didn't know to turn off the breaker before removing it and broke a piece. We had to wait three days for the repairman to come out and fix it. Aaron refused to buy the element from the repairman, which is frugal, but we have to wait. He took two days to find and order one off the internet. It is frugal. We still have 5-8 days left to wait for our element. I'm tired of eating soup! I am also not yet going out. I took Caitlyn to dance class this week. I was in such pain from bending over to buckle Ben that we stayed in the car for an hour in order to not have to buckle Ben again. I am not going to the store and we are out of bread products. I would bake bread if only we had an oven. Then the other night as Aaron was traveling to Salt Lake for Bell practice his car broke. It was fixed yesterday, but it broke again on the way to work. Ford paid for the tow truck the second time and didn't charge for labor. The first time they replaced a part broken by the origional broken part. I'm so glad Aaron got a good bonus.
Last week while I was couch-ridden I sent Aaron to the library with the kids. He came back with a book on the linguistics of Tolkien's Hobbits. It was so interesting that I engaged in reading The Lord of the Rings. I'm in The Two Towers now. It is an engaging story, but I am not yet a fanatic (I doubt I ever will be.) as are some like my husband.

I liked the books, but they weren't my favorite. I did enjoy the movies though.
I watched the first movie last night and I don't think I'll watch any more of them. They are too dark and violent. I had nightmares last night. I don't imagine things so violent so reading doesn't phase me too much. I was mad that they had to change the characters.
Ah, see I read the books AFTER I watched the movie so I wasn't bugged during the movie by the changes. They are pretty dark.
Yes, I usually find that if I watch the movie first and like it that I still like the movie, but the book is better. For some reason I just knew I wouldn't like the LOTR movies and refused to watch them. The next two books are even darker than the first, so I'm definately not watching any more movies. I don't like going to bed with scary thoughts in my head.
