#BlogLife1061 - Chatty Chicks Watching Flicks 24 - The Family Business

Two things, I haven't heard anything from Mama, she could have emailed to say she arrived safely.. Pfft whatever.

Crap how have I already forgotten the other thing? Oh yea, I  found another show to binge.

It's from 2018 and it's called The Family Business, again it reminds me of another show but I can't think of it.

I love Ernie Hudson, I think usually he's playing the good guy, not so much in this..

Roughly it's about a gangstery, criminal family and I suppose, each member are trying to find their place in it?

I'm mainly interested in the female characters, I want them to find love and happiness and all that mushy stuff..

(By the way, eating is a massive chore when you're not hungry).

I'm only still eating the fries slowly because one, it's settled my tum and two, they'll get stale quickly.

My preference is the pakoras but later..

Anyway back to the show, Ernie plays the head, the Papa, Mr intimidating criminal, smuggling drugs or guns, I forget already because that doesn't interest me ha.

He seems to have a good marriage, which is unusual, I thought he'd be a cheater.

I think he's more impressed with the sons, even though they make mistakes, rather than the daughters, typical crap..

The youngest one is tough but crazy lol. I don't really understand the mentality of having her followed and dragged back home, when she's dating and more..

But the sons/acquaintances can hire escorts, sleep around, cheat on their wives and noone bats an eye???

So she's the one that interests me the most and her sister is judgy too but she just had an affair lol.

Hilarious stuff and then the family friend is secretly a mole lol.

Whenever a new romantic love interest comes along, I always hope it's genuine, but it's typically not lol.

I'm gutted my favourite was either fired or left, it just seemed like a blah ending, no real fanfare considering she was a main character..

It's not as interesting now but I wonder if she will return with an update?

It's 8.30am and they are due anytime, which is nerve wracking. I was up at 6/7am and probably slept around 1/2am..

I didn't mop and should have but the pmt, lack of proper sleep and hand/back pain is all climbing so I don't have it in me.

I've opened the windows and took out the bins, tidied but I still feel guilty for not doing more.

The worst thing was I should have been playing the hand pain binaurals but it slipped my mind, it might have been cured by now.

Who knows if they will even show up this time? I'm charging my phone but kept it on.

I don't know if they will text or call to say I'm next or they are on their way...

Or maybe, I'll be stood up again? Oh and I need to call and pay my rent and ask the exact amount due and report it to UC..

But it's too early and I forgot yesterday. I don't know if I should put the blankie on for the pain.

It's not cold or warm.. Oh and I tried those hazelnut cookies.. Um it's the right amount of sweetness.

Just like a nutella spread inside, I prefer it crunchier, not soft so I stuck it in the fridge.

I don't think I would buy it again but it was interesting to sample for something new and different.
