Love Comes Rudely

Wow, got completely worked up last night!  I was on a rampage.  Uh ohhh....

I was so excited to see the "Love" series by Janette Oke come on the Hallmark channel last night.  Of course, the movies deviated from the books so much, I wouldn't have recognized them.  Anyway, they were already playing Belinda's story by the time I turned it on.

So Belinda's having trouble getting pregnant AND she's a doctor caring for her pregnant friend.  Good times already.  (Shoulda turned it off right then!)

So before the first commercial I'm already mildly irritated when Belinda says every labor is an emergency.  Is that so?

Then someone tells Belinda her hair is too shiny to be the mark of an infertile woman.  Okay, now I'm making snide remarks to the television.  (My hair does look a little dull.  Infertility or hard water?  IDK.)

Then the same someone tells Belinda she should "relax and read a book before bedtime."  Belinda does it and gets pregnant.  Wow!  Had NOOOO idea reading helped you ovulate.  Wait.  I seem to have read a few books before...big ones, even! 

I feel so snarky.  To be this mad over Janette Oke movies!  But COME ON, PEOPLE!  Sheesh.

The ONLY redeeming thing in the entire movie was when a pregnant woman goes into labor, and Belinda decides not to use forceps but takes advice to just move the woman's position to overcome dystocia.  Okay, I'll give her that one.  Besides that, you're done in MY book, Miss Oke!  I have a stack of your novellas I no longer know what to do with....
