Three Things Thursday :: Outlander, Soy Candles and Interstellar

I'm getting back into the swing of blogging again and on the way home today I remembered it was Thursday and I am currently obsessing over a few things....okay just one thing really, but it is THREE  Things Thursday so I had to come up with another two.

So my big obsession right now...Outlander.  I may be a bit late to the game but I fell HARD.  It had been recommended a couple of times to me and I'd read what it was about and found it intriguing.  At Mom's retirement party a good source said that she has read the books multiple times.  Her husband admitted that she reads them from the first to the last when a new book comes out.  That is Harry-Potter-level devotion and I respect that and it tells me these must be pretty good.  So this weekend Mom and I bought just one episode of the show on our Apple TV...and then we bought the whole season...and binged watched it in a couple of days.  I had bought mom the first book and she graciously put it in the bathroom where I could read it too.  I'd read ahead and then reread what we just watched and she told me I could take it and read it but I refuse to.  As long as it stays in the bathroom I'm not really "reading" it and I really need to finish up one or two of these books that my Goodreads says I'm reading.  I bought it on my Kindle so that when I do finish one of these books we can be reading at the same time.  And did I tell you that there are EIGHT books already.  Omigosh it's like getting the entire Harry Potter series at once.  I'm pretty sure I would have had some serious eye strain if I'd had all of those at once.  I've also downloaded the soundtrack (because it's AHmazing) on Spotify and have been listening to it constantly when I'm driving this whole week.  But wait there's more!  What we saw was only the first HALF of the season and more episodes will be coming out in April!!  **Squeals and screaming and jumping up and down**  I love getting fully obsessed with things every now and then.  :)

Now to flesh this out with something other than Outlander...soy candles!  I really enjoy going down the candle aisle in Target and finding something new that smells good.  I found these candles there and the scents work together so well and are light and not too fake smelling.  They really fill up the living room with lovely spring-y scents and are pretty too.  Do it.  Go to Target and let your nose lead the way.

And now for something that isn't available on Blu-Ray YET but will be in 19 short days...Interstellar!  I've already pre-ordered mine.  Tell me you don't want to sit and watch this about 50 times in a row until your brain is so full of mind bending physics that you feel like you've been working on a PhD!  I might even have to put Outlander on hold to obsess over this for a while.  ;)
