How can my life be boring when I have so much to tell you about seasonal allergies and kale?

Derek had mentioned that I haven't been blogging as much as I usually do. He suggested that maybe my life has been boring. To prove him wrong I'm writing this very excited blog post about allergies and kale. 

So I think everyone around this neck of the woods is suffering from spring allergies right now. I have so much antihistamine coursing through my veins I shouldn't be able to sneeze for years. If the weather would just get warmer and the trees would actually get their leaves I think I'd be doing much better.

Now let's move on to exciting topic number 2. KALE. I'm really into it right now. I'm trying to eat more greens so I've been shoving baby kale into my sandwiches. Baby kale seems to not be as bitter. I'm known at work for eating my veggies. What can I say, I like them but still feel like I should eat more considering the fruits I can eat are limited and I can't take a multivitamin.

I started watching the White Queen on Amazon Prime. I'm a big fan of anything remotely Tudor related and I read the book years ago. I've only seen one episode so far but it's not bad. Edward IV was like listen everyone I got married in secret and people were all like but she's mid-ranked and not even anyone remotely important and her first husband was on the other king's team and Edward was like I DON'T CARE. These would be Henry VIII's grandparents. You really should read about that time period because it is crazy! This would be the War of the Roses that I'm referring to.


This is like some Lifetime level drama people but it actually happened and Tori Spelling is nowhere to be seen (thank God).

Well that's enough excitement for one blog post. Go eat some kale or something.

Reign is horrible and I love it

I finally started watching the CW drama Reign. I was firmly in the hell no this will be horrible camp until I found out that Megan Follows aka Anne (with an E thank you very much) of Green Gables is on the show!


Anne is my childhood kindred spirit. I was a very dramatic child and if you've seen or read Anne of Green Gables that was basically me as a child.


So I came to Reign for Megan Follows and stuck around for the pretty things and the DRAMA.

I went into Reign fully expecting it to be very historically inaccurate and I was right. The clothing and hairstyles are what girls today might wear to prom. 

Is this the best prom ever guys?

The names are very CW. I mean come on, no one was named Lola in the 1500s!! 

It's basically trash tv and it's great. Who is the girl running around with a sack over her head? Will Mary and Francis learn to love each other or will she fall for the handsome Bash (that would be Francis' bastard half brother who never existed in real life). I'm team Mash by the way (Mary + Bash).

While I was searching for images from this show I came upon a Tudors fansite bashing the show. I think the person who wrote it had all good points but then I started reading the comments and wow people are flat out calling this show treason and saying it should be banned for "defaming our Queen!" I just don't take a CW show that seriously. If this was on the history channel I would be a bit concerned but it's on a network known for Gossip Girl and the Vampire Diaries.
