okay I was wrong (Again)

I just finished watching “The Air That I Breathe” and it turned out to be fairly good.
Not great but good.
I still say it was a lot like “Crash” where all the players had something in common…..but it was a half way decent movie.
Entertaining anyway.

wide screen versus full screen

is there even a choice?
HELLO?
I choose full screen every damn time.
Why wouldn’t I?
I actually hate it when movies can only be watched in wide screen.
I want my whole entire TV screen filled with the picture.
I hate the wide screen where you have only a portion of the screen used.
Just bugs me.

However I know others who would choose wide screen every time.
NOT ME!!!!

9 weeks

I went nine weeks without drinking a pop
A WHOLE NINE WEEKS!!!!
Granted I went eleven months here a while back……but yesterday I broke down and had a root beer when my husband and I went to Applebee’s for supper.

Today I had another one.
Why go nine weeks or more and not lose a bit of weight?
Why deprive myself of that?
when I enjoy it?

So I have decided I will let myself have one a day if that is what I desire.

gotta have one vice in my life right?

where are my bloggers?

My brother doesn’t write on his blog, my new sister in law (my brother’s wife) doesn’t blog.
My youngest child doesn’t blog…..

Even my own sister only blogs once or twice a week.
My other sister blogs more often but not nearly enough for me.

I try to write at least four or five new blogs a day.
Sometimes I get winded and write ten.

Still…..I check all of my siblings and my daughter’s diligently every day and no one writes….or rarely writes…..

kind of depressing

Christmas Day

I told my boss today that if she needed me to work on Christmas day I would.
She seems to think she won’t……so….do I dare plan a Christmas dinner for my siblings?
Lord knows my own children won’t be around so it would only be my siblings Rick and I.

I don’t know if I dare make the plans and then get stuck working?

Guess I will give it another week or two and see if she has the schedule up for that day….

I already committed to working New Year’s Eve……Not  like we ever  do anything anyway…..we don’t.
So I may as well work and let someone else enjoy the night off.

a new look

when we moved into the home that we live in now…the walls are green and the carpet is a gray blue.
NOW I ask you, does that match??????

I  love green.
Any one who knows me know that green is my favorite color…..however the longer I live here….(over a year now) I can’t stand the green walls and gray blue carpet.
Just doesn’t make any sense to me and WHY would anyone paint the walls this color when the carpet is so obviously has blue in it?????

So  anyway this is my new project.
I got a sixty dollar gift certificate from work from the PTO for working and cleaning up after the football games…..so that is what I’m  going  to use the money for

new paint for the walls.

This will be my project for the coming month and hopefully I will have it done by the end of December.

pinching pennies

as we are about to approach another New Year, (Okay in thirty one days)  I find myself already in dept over things I can’t control.

For instance….the house we no longer live in that we still are buying needs a new furnace and central air put in it this spring/summer.
My husband is guessing the cost will be somewhere around $8,000

ugh

IF my son decides he can’t afford to buy the house then we will have to put it up for sale…..and still have the furnace and central air fixed to get a decent price on it.

That is one bill…..we still have other things to look at…..

I don’t want to work a second job all my life…..I want to  be free enough to enjoy my weekends again.
I  have applied for a job that will be swing shift….and not having weekends off, but there would be other days in the week that I would have off.
Of course first they have to hire me.

And if I get this job, I will just forget about going back to school.
NOT like I can afford it anyway…..

so even though….the new year hasn’t even begun….I feel like I am already in dept….to it…..

not a good feeling at all…..

Do I know how to pick them or what?????

Jez I have been renting movies lately and all I end up picking are duds.
What is up with that?

I’m watching “The Air That I Breathe” right now and it gets stranger by the minute.

it has some pretty big actors in it Brandon Frasier, Emile Hursch, Kevin Bacon, Andy Garcia to name a few but it seems to just get worse instead of better.
IT reminds me too much of the movie “Crash” which to me was a pretty excellent movie.

and this just sort of seems like a copy cat of that…..

and then I rented “Now that she found Her”  which I barely got to watching and decided this is not going to be good.
So…
I have one more to watch after “The Air That I Breathe”  called “My Mother’s boyfriends” with Meg Ryan and Colin Hanks (Tom’s son?  I don’t know???)

Meg hasn’t had a good movie out for a long long time…since “You’ve Got Mail”  ?????
Has there been a good one since then?

But anyway…..I guess…..I shall wait and see…….

it feels like nap time

my darling Keira woke me up at two thirty this morning  and didn’t go back to sleep until four thirty am
Now I feel like I could take a nap.

sitting here typing on the computer and watching TV, I suddenly feel tired.

BUT If I nap now will I be able to sleep later?
I don’t know.
I hope so.

But I think I will go rest for a bit.

Beautiful trees

I had to be at the weekend job at five fifteen this morning and while I was driving there I noticed the beautiful trees and the way the snow blanketed each and every branch.
It was so pretty.
Even after the sun came up on this cloudy windy day….before it got warm enough to melt the snow, it kissed the trees and showed off its brilliance.

I am not a huge fan of winter but I do love the beautiful scenery it provides me with.
