Movie Therapy

I've been watching a lot of movies lately...ALOT!!! Some I've bought...some I rented...some I had seen before and bought anyway...some I bought and still haven't seen...it's been good "therapy" as Jessica put it. Maybe...it takes my mind off things...and really good movies are always good for the soul...and I think of really good movies kind of like books...you can learn something...even if it's only about yourself. :)

1. Blood Diamond...saw it in the theatre, but LOVE this one...watch it!!!

2. Bobby...rented it...really liked it.

3. Rumor Has It...I love Shirley Mcclain in anything! I cried my eyes out. Of course I did watch it right after the next one.d

4. World Trade Center...everyone has their own sad story dealing with 9/11, and I definitely have my own demons from that day...week...I thought it was a great movie.

5. Volver...started off thinking it was kind of weird...Spanish humor is different from American humor, but by the end I was loving it (subtitles).

6. Half Nelson...another great movie...little bit of a let down on the ending.

7. Come Early Morning...great, great movie about finding out who you really are. Cried at this one, too.

8. Running with Scissors...eh...

9. Off the Map...a little slow...but liked it a lot. It was really cute.

10. Dreamland...coming of age story...slow...but good.

11. Empire of the Sun...I love war movies, and this one is an all time classic.

12. The White Countess...another war movie...slow, not so good...but love Ralph Fiennes.

13. Beowolf and Grendle...I don't care what it was about it had Gerard Butler and his Scottish accent in it!!!

14. Children of Men...loved it in the theatre, and the second time, too. Plus my boyfriend Clive Owen is in it.

15. The Horse Whisperer...my girlfriend is in this one when she was little...Scarlett Johannson...all time classic...cried.

I know there's more, but can't remember right now...The ones I haven't watched yet are Pursuit of Happyness...the first season of Party of Five...and some others...dang...my memory sucks right now!!!

Works going ok. The days go by fast. Gabby is good. Getting taller every minute!

Seriously, your spelling is atrocious in this post. You're getting a dictionary for your 30th birthday! "Happyness"??????

Love movie therapy! I'm watching "Love's Abiding Joy" tonight and I have a few others on my list. Another one I liked is "Raising Victor Vargas". You should rent that one. I'll try to come up with some other suggestions.

Love ya!

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

Fablicious

It's Monday morning, and I took today off from work. Right before the true tax season we get really low on work. So, they pretty much give us off any day we want. I'm taking off today and Friday. This past weekend was really great. And this is going to sound strange, but I feel really good about the fact that I'm saying I had a great weekend and Gabby was home with me. I feel like so often all of my "great" weekends are weekends that don't involve her, and that's just a shame. On Friday night my aunt and uncle were in town, so the whole fam went downtown and ate at Mi Tiera's. We got a little lost on the way home. Saw a crack deal goin' down. Good times. Saturday, took Gabby to eat at Red Robin. And then went to CD Exchange and the pet store with Andrea and Josh. I've been seriously thinking about getting Gabby and me two kittens for the last year. I think I've thought about it long enough that I might actually make it happen. O...
