I really enjoyed this documentary. I love John Cleese so of course I had to add it to my instant queue, but he was actually very informative. I’m not really a wine connoisseur, but I love a glass of Cabernet or Merlot every now and then. This show actually presented the information in layman’s terms so it’s easier to understand. The best thing is it didn’t make me feel stupid because I didn’t know the “catch phrases” of wine. If you’re a wine lover then check it out.

An unusual explorer named Gum (Richard Griffiths) and his kindly niece (Emilia Fox) adopt three orphans — Pauline (Emma Watson), Petrova (Yasmin Paige) and Posy (Lucy Boynton) — and raise them as sisters in 1930s London. But the girls must fend for themselves when Gum doesn’t return from one of his adventures. Together, they nurture their passions for acting, aviation and ballet in this charming TV adaptation of Noel Streatfield’s novel.

It’s okay… felt really rushed at the end. Not a movie I would buy, but not bad for an instant queue watch.

The play was really good for a small town production. Couldn’t get a photo of the actors because they were swarmed after the play, but over all I left a very happy camper!

There was a DVD that my mom and stepdad purchased called Windy City Heat. Margaret, Holly, Travis, and I watched it. Of course we laughed. Mom maybe watched a little bit of it till heading off to bed, but overall it’s a movie that they haven’t watched (from mom’s account).

So here’s to mom possibly watching Windy City Heat laughing her butt off. We’ll see what happens tomorrow when the saga continues………………….

Over all it was a cute movie, but only for children 8 and under. Children old then that probably wouldn’t like it.

Yesterday Darryl took me on a date. It’s been a very long time since we’ve went on a date so of course I was excited to get out of the house! We decided to catch a movie and then grab a bite to eat, but it didn’t work out that way. Instead we ate at Puleo’s Grille first, which was really good food, and then caught a matinee of Wall-E at the Wynnsong 16. Of course we had to have the large popcorn (extra butter), large pepsi, and a box of chocolate candy for me. I was so stuffed I thought I was gonna have to unbutton my pants…

I totally loved loved loved the move! I thought Pixar did an awesome job convaying the sentiments of the main characters without the use of voices. They really utilized the eyes and movements to show their feelings and bring out their personality.

Darryl didn’t enjoy the movie at all, but he was a real tropper! He sat there with me (and about 20 children) for 1 hr and 30 mins without grouching once. LOL I just love him!

I can’t wait for this movie to come out on DVD so I can own it and watch it whenever I want to.

The movie was cute and the story flowed pretty good. The main lady in the movie was pretty and the guy that played the green goblin in Spiderman was in this also. I guess I really don’t have much to say about the movie other than that if I had to rate it out of 5 stars it’d get 3.5.

Now where’s my Halloween review Hol? 

Right now I’m getting ready for my s-i-l’s baby shower. I’m supposed to be the co-host, but I have no idea about anything that’s been done or needs to be done. I’ve tried to get info from my s-i-l and my s-i-l’s mother, but they either don’t call me back or don’t answer my questions. Oh well, I guess I’ll play this one by ear. It’s a good thing that I took vacation Thursday, Friday, and Monday or I would be running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I’ll make sure to post lot’s of pics of my s-i-l’s baby belly… I think pregnant women are so pretty.

Darryl has been studying to take his Dante’s next week so we can start the BSOM program on 11/7/07. He is doing so good and I’m so proud of him!Well I have nothing else to report on, but I’m sure Darryl will post tonight. Hope everyone has a happy and safe weekend!

So, what do ya’ll think?

I don’t know what it is (old age probably). My nose started running late Saturday night after a pitcher of margaritas and then it got stopped up on Sunday. Wednesday was the worst though. I felt like hammered dog shit, because I was aching all over, I was congested something fierce, and I had a slight headache. I called Margaret during lunch letting her know I was feeling bad and she said she could tell in my voice and advised me to try and stick it out the rest of the day. And that I did, but boy was it hard. I was so happy when I got home. I took a hot and very relaxing clay bath for about 30 minutes. When I got out I my skin was red all over, because the clay draws out toxins from the pores in your skin. Then Margaret put some Super Strength Oreganol oil on my spine and rubbed it in (boy did that burn). I put some on the soles of my feet and then crawled into bed. She made me drink some water and take some Oregaresp and the oregano oil under my tongue. Margaret even broke out the heating pad for my back (she’s so sweet).
Needless to say, I slept great and woke up feeling 10 times better. I only had a stopped up nostril and a little bit of congestion. I took some Aleve just in case though along with the rest of my medicine.

I really don’t know what I would’ve done without Margaret being there. She was such a doll baby. She even brought me up food, because I was hungry a bit. We did watch a movie together, it was called Undercover Blues. I have to tell you, I’ve been telling her about this movie ever since we’ve been together (1996) and she finally go to experience it. And the verdict is, is that she loved it. We’ll be purchasing it soon. I rented two other movies that she hasn’t seen, they are Skin Deep and Moving Violations. I grew up with all these movies, so I hope the other two hold up to the expectations that I remember. At least for her sake, lol. She’s watched numerous movies I recommended and some have been crap. Like Transformers the movie (the 80′s cartoon movie).

So it’s 7:30 as I’m writing this and I can breathe out of both nostrils and the congestion has gone way way down from this morning.

Welpers kids that’s all from this end.

TTYL <— don’t ya just hate that?

On Sunday Darryl and I were lazy and stayed in bed until 9:30am. Stopped @ Weigles to get coffee and then headed to Wal-mart to do some grocery shopping. Went to Office Max and decided to replace the 2006 calendar still hanging in the kitchen with a dry erase calendar. Darryl made my much awaited birthday dinner (lamb chops, herbed mashed potatoes, mushrooms in white wine, & broccoli) and while he was cooking I went through all my scrapbook magazines and pulled out all the layouts I liked. After eating dinner Darryl and I went for a walk and I took lots of pictures. Now Darryl is enjoying a bowl of ice cream with pineapple topping (yum yum) while surfing online.

For my birthday I got the movies cars & monsters Inc from Darryl. I also received “Thunderstruck” by Erik Larson from Kathy and Terry. (I’m totally loving Devil in the White City by the way, and now that the OT has stopped I plan on finishing it up by next weekend.) (PS Terry I’m sending you “Portrait of a Killer; Jack the Ripper case closed” by Patricia Cornwell.) Next weekend I’m going to my parents and I’m sure I’ll be getting more presents there. I’ll post about the little treasures I get.

Took this picture today while Darryl and I were walking, and since I love it I decided to post it on the blog tonight.

What a great weekend this has been. Margaret wasn’t called into work for overtime and we were able to be with each other all the time. Saturday, we went out early and did a late Anniversary breakfast at Mimi’s Café. That filled us up so for the rest of the day we just snacked. Today, my step mom took us out to eat and that was a very pleasent meal. When we got home I fired up the grill and cooked the two steaks I had marinating from Saturday. Of course I had to take a taste and it was WONDERFULL!!!

So now as I close this post all I got left to say that’s off of the top of my head is: Watch the movie V for Vendetta and check out any of Dominic Miller’s albums. Oh yea, and have a nice glass of wine (or 2 or 3) and relax.

Because the masses have been asleep for far too long and it’s time for the real America to wake up!!! Along with the rest of the world. The New World Order will effect everyone, everywhere not just in America.

In the words of Jack Burton: No horse shit Wang!

p.s. Becky and Erik, we had a great time on Saturday night and thank you for the wonderful meal! And boy, were we feeling it the next day (too much wine) haha!!!

Last night was very fun. On the way home from work Margaret and I were talking about grabbing some Mexican or Chinese food, cause we were a little hungry. So when we pulled into the driveway we were like two kids getting home from school. We went running into the house, unloading our stuff, and being very giddy. Margaret grabbed me some medicine in case we decided on Mexican food. The medicine by the way is Lactaid Ultra, cause I’m lactose intolerant. We decided on Mexican and we got some guacamole dip, cheese dip, and a small order of nachos. And it was mmm mmm good. We ate at this hole in the wall called Tekila Mexican Restaurant. I have to tell you, that place is really really good and not expensive.

After we ate we went to Target and bought a puzzle, a puzzle mat to fold it up, and a DVD of a cartoon called Drawn Together. The cartoon is vulgar, but sometimes funny. We’re in the consensus that this cartoon tries so hard to be shocking that it isn’t and it isn’t funny. Give us Home Movies any day.

That’s all for this evening kids.
