Death Row? Last Meal Ever

As you probably know by now I am intrigued with Serial Killers and people who do crazy things (you must be too because you did click on this ha). I want to know why they did it and how they could think that was okay. I really think I should of been an FBI agent. I remember when I was in college Psychology was always my favorite because I wanted to know WHY people do what they do!   Last night I started watching Castle Rock with my husband and youngest son. I had already seen the season with Lo when I was visiting there for work. In the show there was a death row lawyer. Somehow we got into the topic of our last meal and what would it be. I decided that my OTHER bff (Google) could tell me what others last meals were. We looked up some that were simple like Reeses and a Dr. Pepper (Christopher Brooks) to way excessive like 20 pieces of fried catfish, hush puppies, two triple deluxe hamburgers with bacon, two pints of vanilla ice cream and a sliced raw onion (John Wayne Conner).  As we were talking I think most of us agreed that we probably couldn't eat anything if under those circumstances. So I said what if we knew it was our last meal but all was fine in our lives what we would choose. This is what we chose:

My husband: Steak (medium rare), Lobster, Salad with Ranch, Potato, 3 Musketeer Bar and a Pint of Mint Chip Ice Cream

My youngest son: Steak (medium rare), Lobster, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy and a Bucket of KFC Chicken

Me: Steak (medium rare), Shrimp Scampi, Green beans and Bacon, and Daiquiri Ice from Baskin Robbins

So as I look at this it pretty much tells me that we love meat. We do live in a ranch town but maybe we should move closer to the Ocean for some seafood. It's interesting the weird things that come up sometimes in conversation when watching shows. What I love most is that when I asked they weren't weirded out. They were trying to think of what they would want if under better circumstances than that in the show. I honestly thought they didn't even give last meals but apparently, they still do in some states. I personally really like food so I wish that every meal was the best meal we have had. I guess if we had our last meal all the time it wouldn't be that great though. Having it for special moments in our lives makes it so much more worthwhile. If you had a last meal, what would it be??

*My last meal would be a pardon! no? ok....is it all made by the prison staff, or do they order out? brown sugar breakfast roll, coffee, Pepsi, green or hibiscus tea, sushi, yah, I just can't decide....-Lo

Castle Rock. Were we even at the same place?

Castle rock.....TV show, around Stephen king books... I think I’m the one that said we should watch this together....I wanted a fun experience, maybe a little peril that wasn’t life induced.... Ok...so Ro is gonna say I didn’t watch... because I had my hand over my eyes ( maybe 30% of the time). And I’d like to say that watching through fingers or “not watching” through closed fingers is a completely legitimate way to watch something scary....it’s not like I was staring at my phone, or had a fake bout of diarrhea and kept running to the potty, NOPE I was engaged in my fear, in my watching (ok listening- maybe I’m an auditory learner!) It was fun to pull out the little comments that made you realize it was about Stand By Me or The Shining, I’m not a huge Stephen king fan ( yes read SUCH A scaredy pants!) but how can you not know about his works....and the more psychological ones I did enjoy.... Ro and I watched Carrie together at 13, after a long day at a water park ( oh that is a story we should tell! Yikes) anyway we were both sunburned and laying on my living room floor ( gold, raised fleur de lis no less) a fan wafting over us intermittently....the end scene comes and Carrie’s hand raises from the grave and in complete terror I grab Ro’s hand at the same time.....hahahaha.... Thank you Stephen king, for scaring the cock-a-doodle-do out me and for also making me realize ....life could be worse...                                 -Lo

Ohhhhh.... I love Castle rock! I am so in love with the first season and trying to figure out what is going to happen next! The whole time watching with Lo I am constantly talking which HAS to get annoying! “Hey that cop is from Shameless”or “hey that’s the girl from 2 and half men!” I am interested in weird stuff and try to figure out what is going to happen before it happens. In my own mind I am a detective! Just ask my four teenagers they will agree. I have to admit I jumped a couple times. I am actually surprised I jumped because I am pretty positive I was watching Lo watch Castle rock. Okay, let me rephrase that. I was watching Lo NOT watch Castle rock. I mean is she actually watching if she is watching it through her fingers? “Lo! It’s scarier if you aren’t watching it and just listening to the scary music!” It was just too funny for me to watch her. I am trying to be a detective here and I need her to watch for clues before the next episode. I have to admit even Lo was watching through her hands half of the time she was the first person to say “Next” when the episode was done and we were ready for the next one. But first we need to figure out exactly how tall Bill Skarsgård (who played Pennywise) is? I was pretty sure he was taller than my one son who is 6’5” but I was wrong! He is only 6’4” but I swear he looks 6’9” in the show and wears extra contour to look thinner! Maybe I will ask him his secret “Lo, we need to google crazy contour!”

Love, Ro
