California, Gambling, Bates Motel and The Good Doctor

It's been a while since I last posted and it's because I went on a trip and I've been sick lately. And I'm still working, which I thought I wouldn't be by now. I went to California and the Sparks-Reno area for Thanksgiving. I had a great trip there and I spent time with my sister and her daughters and their families. I love going to Portola and I really wish I could live in that area. It's almost like you go back in time about 40 or 50 years. I love all the trees and the beauty that I see when I'm there. I saw Bassett Falls and just listening to that water flowing just soothes your soul. I loved spending time with my family and the best time on this trip was when I was just riding in the car and enjoying the time with my sisters.
I did go gambling and I lost quite a bit of money like a stupid fool. It was those darn Willy Wonka machines. I just knew I'd go crazy. I did go crazy playing other machines as well. I really am addicted to gambling and I really need to stay away from those machines. They are fun to play and on the way home, I did win a little of my money back. The Gremlin machines were just too fun to play and I actually won on them for the first time in a long long time.
I also want to mention I went to the Billy Joel concert in Salt Lake with my two oldest sisters. My sister needed us to go with her because our friend's father died and she could not attend. I'm sad for my friend and her family, but it was nice spending time with my sisters and going to a concert. I haven't been to one in a long time.
I finished watching the last season of Bates Motel and it was the best season of them all. I just loved it. One minute I was laughing my head off and the next I was crying. I loved the ending because Dylan actually chose the only thing he could do for his brother. I really think Freddie deserved tons of awards for his acting. Just those scenes where he was his mother just killed me. Vera Farmiga was awesome as well and I loved those scenes with Norma and Norman. I will probably be watching the whole series again. I think this show was the best TV series I have ever watched.
Now on to The Good Doctor. Time will tell if I will be saying that Bates Motel is the best show I've ever watched because I just love this show as well. I found out the first season is only going to be 18 episodes and not 22. That sucks. I really wish it was a full season. At least, there will be 8 more episodes to enjoy and hopefully it will have a 2nd season. I loved the winter finale or mid season finale. I read tons of comments and how many people hate Dr. Glassman now. That is so stupid. All he wants to do is help Shaun have a better life. And without him, Shaun probably would never have been a doctor and he certainly would not even be working at that hospital. Glassman put his job on the line for Shaun. I think after that store robbery, it really scared Glassman because he knew that Shaun could have easily been the one that got shot. I think Glassman loves Shaun like a son and wants to help him and is trying to prepare him for the time when he may not be able to help him. He wants to make sure Shaun is prepared to take care of himself. Also, he seemed surprised that Shaun was reacting the way he was. I think there was more going on with Shaun than we saw. I can't wait to find out what's going to happen next. Freddie is just awesome and I love to watch him. I'm going to watch the first ten episodes probably a couple more times before the show comes back on.
Well, that's all for now.

Trip To Colorado

I took a quick trip to Colorado on the 9th until the 12th. I went with my two sisters and our friend to deliver some furniture to my nephew and his wife. My one sister and I stayed for two nights to visit. I had a really good time and it was a fun trip, but way too short. I wish we could have stayed and visited for longer. We went to a museum in Grand Junction that I've never been to. It was pretty cool. The best part of the trip was being in the car with my sister, my nephew and his wife and their little boy. Most people would think that was boring, but I love spending time with my family and those are the best times. My other nephew joined us when we got into town and I love spending time with him as well. I wish I could spend even more time with him because I don't see him as much and I missed so much time when he was little.
Just thought I'd post about this and I will probably be going to Nevada this week. I hope I can control my gambling addiction. I haven't gone gambling in a while now. I love seeing my sister and nieces, but going to Nevada is very hard. Hopefully, we will spend more time in California and doing fun stuff there.

Follow You

I just love Grayson. His voice is one of the best I've ever heard and I love the music as well. This song is so beautiful and I will follow Jesus. I've never gone wrong walking in his footsteps and when I've faltered and fallen, he picks me up and carries me until I can walk on my on again.

Bates Motel Season 2

I didn't think I could love Freddie any more than I already did. He is just brilliant, fantastic, wonderful and awesome all rolled in one. This season got even more intense and I just loved the scenes with Norman and Norma the most. I didn't care for some of those scenes with the drug war going on until poor Norman got dragged into it. I don't binge watch and I really wanted to watch this whole season in one sitting, but I didn't. It took me five days to watch. I just want more and more. Now, I can understand why people were disappointed when the show ended. I think when I'm finished watching all the seasons, I'm going to go back and watch again. I'm so happy Freddie is in The Good Doctor because just seeing him on there made me buy Bates Motel and I'm so happy I did. I usually don't buy DVD's of any show that I have never watched before. This is the first time ever that I have bought a series and didn't know if I'd even like it, let alone love it. I guess that's the power of Freddie.
Now back to what happened in this season. Poor Norman in those last two episodes. I just wanted to cry for him again. I can't believe that slutty teacher seduced him and he had sex with her. Well, she was taken care of for good. That's what happens to you when you have sex with one of your students, you end up dead. I knew sweet Norman didn't kill her. He doesn't have it in him to hurt anyone.
I thought that was funny when he was crying at her funeral because who cries over a teacher. That was just a great season and now I can't wait to watch season 3.
The Good Doctor wasn't on this Monday, but it will be back this coming Monday. I'll have to wait for a bit to start watching season 3 of Bates. I need to process what happened for a little bit longer and then continue on the journey of crazy goodness. That's all for now.

Bates Motel Season 1

Wow! My sister, friend and niece were all right about me loving this show if I watched it. I do love it and I can't wait to start watching season 2. I finished season 1 last night. I watched the last three episodes in a row. I hardly ever do that with a show. I don't binge watch, but part of me wanted to last night. I want to savor the show for a while, so I will probably only watch one episode a day, unless I have more time and then I will watch up to 2 or 3.
I went through every emotion watching the first season. I cried for poor Norman, especially after that dog got hit and died. It broke my heart for him. Freddie Highmore is just so awesome. I think he's great in The Good Doctor, but he kicks ass in this show. He should have won awards for his acting as Norman. Hopefully, Freddie knows how much people love him and appreciate him for his great acting. I know I do. I love all the characters on this show and it's sad that how many of them died, but I'm sure more will turn up. I only bought the first four seasons and I will probably buy the last as well.
I can't believe how many great shows I missed by being obsessed with a piece of crap show like Stupidnatural for so long. Now, hopefully I will never miss any or if I do, I will find them on DVD or somewhere else to watch. I've kind of neglected my other shows because I have been so obsessed with The Good Doctor. I just love it and I can't help thinking about it. I watch Bates Motel and sometimes I can stop obsessing for a while and just enjoy.
If anyone wants a wild crazy ride, then they need to watch this show. I can't believe so much happened in 10 episodes. It actually feels like I watched more episodes because they were so packed with great stuff. I even got so surprised watching one scene that I screamed. That hasn't happened to me for a long time watching a show. I've never read any spoilers for this show and maybe that's why it's so good and surprising. I don't know what's coming up next. That's probably the best part.
Well, that's all for now. Gotta go and enjoy watching more Norman Bates.

Edisun-Ready to Believe

Love this song and I found it on my mp3 player while I was listening to it at work. It's such a good song and what a good truth. If you can't change things, then let them be.

The Good Doctor And Freddie Highmore

I can't believe how much I just love The Good Doctor. The main reason is Freddie Highmore because he is such a great actor and I love him playing the character of Shaun Murphy. I've been waiting for a new show that I would love and be excited about. Now, I just can't wait for Monday night to come so that I can watch my favorite show. I love all the other characters and I just know that we will learn more about them as they interact with Shaun.
It's funny because I found out that it was Freddie playing Charlie on Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. He was so young and he was in Finding Neverland and Spiderwick. He was also Norman Bates in Bates Motel. My sister told me that I would like this show. Now, I'm going to have to buy the seasons and watch them. I will probably laugh my butt off. I keep reading stuff on posts and people saying things about him playing Norman. I just love it. It doesn't matter to me whether people like or don't like this show. I love it and it's going to be a full 22 episode season and I'm so excited. I have something to look forward to again. When I got excited by Doctor Who, I knew that it would end, especially the episodes with David Tennant. He's the main reason I love Doctor Who so much and he will always be my favorite doctor. I will love and keep watching all the episodes he was in, but there were only so many. I hope The Good Doctor is on for many more seasons.
I'm glad all my other shows are back on, but I'm finding it hard to watch a few of them. I had to catch up on Once Upon A Time. The first episode was kind of slow, but I bet it will pick up and I'll start loving it like I did before. Everything is different, but it can be good. I will just think of it as a new series and not expect anything and I bet I'll love it even more.
I finally ripped down all my old posters of Stupidnatural and threw them in the trash. That show is well and truly over for me. I feel sorry for anyone who still watches it, especially anyone who liked or still likes Sam. If they ever expect something to happen with his character, they will be waiting for ever. I gave up long ago. I watched some episodes last season just for that Ketch guy and they killed him. Who gives a crap about any of those other stupid characters.
Now back to Freddie. I can't wait to see what is going to happen with his character on The Good Doctor. I hope there are more tears and laughter ahead. The first three episodes were awesome and from the looks of the next two, they are going to be even better. I can't wait until I actually get to see him perform surgery in the O.R. and the day Melendez sees what he is capable of.
I keep watching the first two episodes over and over and I can't wait to watch the third one. I really need to get my subscription running again on Hulu or buy the first season and get the episodes as they come out. Well, that's it for now. I'm so happy and I'm glad I started watching this show. It makes me feel good inside and happy. I just remember the last how many years while I was still obsessed over Stupidnatural and how miserable I was. That show just brings you down and makes you depressed. It made me angry and just tired. The Good Doctor makes me feel great and like anything is possible.

The Good Doctor Is Awesome

I decided to use a pic of my little Sammy for this post instead of a pic from the show because I love this show as much as I loved Pet Society and Sammy. I'm so happy I found a new show I love and right now it's my most favorite show on TV. I already can't wait to see the next episode and I have to wait a whole week. I loved every minute of this show from start to finish. The hour just flew by and I wish it would have just kept going. That's the mark of a great show. Freddie Highmore is awesome and I hope I spelled his name right. The whole cast looks good so far and I can't wait to see more of all of them. This is the kind of show I've been waiting for for a long long time. I love medical stuff and I love drama. I love shows that move me and make me feel good inside and ones that have a lot of emotional tension. I will for sure be staying up late when I go back to work to watch this show. I don't care how tired I'll be in the morning. I can always take a nap before the show while The Voice is on, if it gets boring. I haven't been this excited about a show for a very long time. Just me coming to type about it in here is proof enough. I haven't written in my blog for so long. I was going to write my story and how much stuff happened and now all my shows are coming back and I won't have the time. I have shows to watch every night of the week and that hasn't happened in a very long time. It's funny but, I remember when all my favorite shows were on The CW, now I have no shows I even like on that channel. I don't even turn it to The CW anymore. Well, that's all for now.

Rose Royce - Wishing On A Star (Official Video)

I thought I'd post this song as well because I remember sitting the dark listening to the radio and this song would come on. I was just a little girl. I haven't heard it in so long, but I still love it as much as I did then. Just hearing it made me remember certain things. That's what old songs do. It's like when you listen to them, you get transported back in time or something.

Kicks

I love this song and I haven't heard it for so long. I remember I started loving The Monkees when I was a teenager. I can't believe how many shows I love from the 60's that came out before I was even born. This was one of their newer songs that came out when I discovered the show and them.
