Catching Up

I knew it had been a while since I posted here, but I had no idea it had been nearly so long. Sheesh. I do have a blog elsewhere that I’ve been using more for my adventures in knitting, but there’s just no way I can keep up with two blogs, so I’ll have to [...]

Trying Something New

This post has waited a while to be written. The day after the events below ensued, I had a bit of a fender bender on the way to work (only my six-month-old car and pride were injured), then I had a Stampin’ Up! workshop a couple days after that, and I’ve been sick ever since. [...]

80th Annual Oscar Nominations

I hadn’t even realized the nominations were today until I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning. I normally pay a lot more attention than that, practically waiting with bated breath to see who’s receiving the nods this year. Perhaps its the writers strike, the fact that I’ve seen so [...]

Heck of a Crazy Weekend

I must say, this past weekend started off on a great note. Getting together with a few of my closest girlfriends, and just the girlfriends (i.e., no husbands or kids, though I certainly like all of them too), was a too-rare treat. I hope it’s not so long until we can do it again.
Saturday, against [...]

Happy Feet

I’m finally caught up with all the old Netflix stuff I had (this week I put DVDs from March, June, and September in the mail), finishing with watching Happy Feet last night. What a cute movie! And the animation was spectacular. I will admit that I was a little irritated with the agenda-pushing at the [...]

On Wednesday evening I finished reading a couple of books. First, The Shakespeare Stealer by Gary Blackwood is the first of three books written about [...]

One Productive Weekend

Well, I’ve got to have one every now and again, but this time I’m pretty sure it was because I made myself not turn on my computer once, not even to check on my fantasy baseball teams, which was incredibly challenging.

I read an entire book. Sure, it was a short book and technically I started [...]

Oscar Noms are Tomorrow!

I suspect I completely bored you by my last post. Too long? Not so much interest in movies? Unfortunately I still love movies, and I watched a couple more recently.
On Thursday I watched The Constant Gardener. I don’t remember being too anxious to see this one in the theater, but I’m glad to have seen [...]

Eight Movies and Counting

I love movies. I love seeing them in the theater, with the popcorn (more butter, please) and the whole atmosphere.
But over the past few years, being able to get out movies with my friends has been in a steady decline, and last year I only seven in the theater (only two after the end of [...]
