:: and this i know ::

I spent this afternoon not tackling the pile of receipts beside my laptop as previously planned.

I knew that I had a few things that I wanted to accomplish during my last day off before the hellidays take over my life, things such as head to buy office supplies, take out trash, deal with recycling – all the things that one tries to postpone for as long as possible.  By the time I sat down with the remote in hand I figured that I had nothing else to use as an excuse, which lead to my turning on the TV and finally settling on the unexpected distraction of my day.  The distraction?  Why Did I Get Married?

While I am able to have the TV on as distraction as I find it easier to ignore than a podcast, finding myself sucked into a Tyler Perry movie was completely unexpected.  I actually sent a text to a friend of mine that read:

HELP!  I am sucked into this Tyler Perry movie!  Like to the point of wanting to know what is going to happen!

After finding out which movie I was enthralled with, I was informed by my friend (who I correctly guessed had seen the film due to Ms. Jackson’s role) that there is a sequel.  I admit to scoffing to myself, wondering why on earth I would care about a sequel.  Well guess what has been added to the good old Netflix queue?  Actually, guess what three release releases have been added?

Why Did I Get Married?:  Added to see what I missed as the version I watched today was a TV edit.

Why Did I Get Married Too?:  Yes, I am invested to the point of needing to know what is going on with the characters.  BTW: I need to be friends with the character “Angela.”

Why Did I Get Married?:  I was not aware that the first film was actually based on Tyler Perry’s play of the same name until I did the Netflix search of the same title.  It seems that there was a filmed staging that was released on DVD, a filmed version that now has a place in the queue.

As I write, the receipts sit beside me, as even they realize that they will go untouched for the rest of the day.
