Quite an enjoyable Independence Day Weekend for us.. made even longer by most everyone having Monday off, as well! Sunday, I work from 8-noon… four hours at time-and-a-half, pretty quick and the extra will come in handy. After work, I came home to see the All-Star picks for the game on July 13: Captain Jeter [...]
My weekend kicked off to a great start! On Good Friday after singing at services, I was dragged ( ) by a crowd of no less than 5 kids to see How to Train Your Dragon in 2D. I didn’t find the idea of paying the extra money for the added thrill of three dimensions [...]
Thank goodness. I would hate to think that one of our annual April the 1st glitches actually stuck! I love April Fools Day! I got the three co-workers today. I got the boss although she promised that I would need to find another place of employment if I had. Because I had to work this [...]
New Years Day… the traditional wrap up to the holiday season. Parades, football, and one more day when you can indulge in snacking and not feel guilty. After going to bed following New Years Eve festivities around 4AM, I woke to find a great documentary on the making of the stage production of the Phantom [...]
AH… 2009, where have you gone? Some really high points and some really low ones. Lets deal with the low and end on a high (not THAT kind). We lost Michael Jackson who was one of my favorite performers growing up and even throughout his wierdness was a genius. Aunt Carol is still hanging on [...]
This year, the extended family gathering fell on the day after the big day when everyone could fit it into their schedule with their other festivities. Get us all together and it is bound to be a fun-filled event. The hilarity began when my brother dropped his plate of food on the floor on the [...]
I LOVE CHRISTMAS. I still look at the holiday with the wonder of a child. For the entire month of December, I still do believe in the magic of Jolly Ol’ St. Nick but still marvel at the wonder of the true meaning of the holiday. I even have my sister wrap my presnts and [...]
Since none of the channels I get are bothering to show the glorious original 1947 version this year, I decided to spend my nine dollars on the Miracle of 34th Street DVD. There is a treasure trove of added features including a very rare 1955 broadcast on the “20th Century Fox Hour of Stars” of [...]
I think this real individual is NOW the king of the humbugs. Last weekend, a rather disgruntled gentleman shoved a Salvation Army bell ringer to the ground and stole the kettle that held the money passersby had dropped in. When he was apprehended, the person stated that he “hates Christmas and got tired of the [...]
The chaos actually began Wednesday morning. Mom was working in the beauty shop… UNTIL 11 at which time she wanted the kitchen. At ten, Dad decides it is the perfect time to strip the counter top off. Granted, it is pretty old, worn, and could stand be be replaced… but the day before we have [...]
