Freaky Friday

When I become a famous writer, I have to remind myself not to allow the Hollywood people 'poetic license' on my work. Why? I recently read Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers, one that probably inspired Lindsay Lohan's and Jamie Lee Curtis' movie of the same name, and the storyline of the book is not at all the same with the movie (surprise, surprise!).

The only similar things are the fact that mom & daughter switched bodies, and daughter has a crush on the boy of her same age.

Apart from those 2 facts, nothing is the same... which left me quite surprised since the book is simply excellent to read. Really witty and endearingly funny. I suppose it's difficult to translate internal conversations with self on the silver screen. Pity.

The Gym Chronicles

Yesterday I signed up for the gym, full of spirits. Hubby was not convinced, but I'll do my best :-)

Here's to a slimmer (and of course, healthier) me!
