Gnomeo and Juliet

I am not usually the type of person who goes to the movies to see “children’s movies” however, with that in mind I think I may have to give in and go see this one. This is such a play on words that I believe it would be worth going to see.

I think that this movie is similar to the “Shrek” movies because the creators have put many “hidden” messages inside the storyline. The children watching these movies do not have any idea what these messages are but the adults do and this is what makes them tolerable when parents are forced by their children to view them.

Flowering ideas

Spring cannot come soon enough!  One of my favorite times of year is the spring time.  During this time I always visit at least one flower show.  While I am there I usually see multiple kinds of window box planters.  Multiple businesses are always on hand at these shows to assist the visitors with window box ideas. 

Usually when I attend these flower shows I bring at least one friend with me and we make a day of the trip.  None of my friends are as garden savvy as I am but I can most times convince them to have at least one pot of flowers on their porch for the season.  Maybe this year I will be able to convince them to have a couple of window boxes.

Window boxes can contain numerous kinds of plants.  They can be window flower boxes or garden window boxes.  I have made several window flower boxes but I have yet to make a vegetable window box.  I think this year I just may try planting a few vegetables in a window box.

Fitness sales

I find it amusing every year after the holidays how the department stores and restaurants for that matter seem to “push” healthy behaviors on the public.  The department stores advertise heavily exercise equipment and diet pills.  They also tend to display the “healthier” foods available in the stores.

Restaurants try their best to create menu options that are lower in calories or sugar.  Therefore, when patrons place their orders they feel as though they are eating more healthily.  I am not convinced that these new found menu options are really any better for you than eating a double bacon cheeseburger.  Personally, if I am planning on eating out I am already under the assumption that my food selection will be unhealthy and I am OK with that.

Playoffs

Now that both of my teams are out of the playoffs, the Titans never even made it to the playoffs and the Cardnials lost this wekend I am now onboard the Brett farve bandwagon and I hope to see a Vikings and Jets Super Bowl this year. My good friend Dale is sending me a Vikings hat to wear and I will be large and loud in my support of the Minnesota Vikings.

Face Book

It seems that I am the last human that has not joined Face Book. I have resisted this fad as long as I can, I need help to keep myself busy and not get involved with mafia crap and farm this and guess that. I have just embraced the internet and really do not want my life as an open book to all of my “friends” that have added me on face book. I will not join it this week and I hope to have the urge under control for the rest of my life, but I may need a help group to get me past the urge to join.

Clint Eastwood

Watched the new Clint Eastwood movie last night and I loved it. I have been a huge Clint Eastwood fan ever since I was a little girl, in the 8th grade most of my class went to see High Plains Drifter and I was hooked on him. The last movie Gran Torino was very good but I was shocked at the ending, it did not end the way I though it would and the twist at the end was very good, I will spoil it here but watch it and you will see what I am talking about.

The money train

As I try and keep my money alive, I have been checking out a balance transfer and it has made a lot of sense to me. If I can move my money and make it work harder I will do it. I will do what ever I need to, to make my money work harder for me. I have told all my family about this great program and how it seems very safe to me and I know they will check it out, the Irish in us makes us save every dime we can get a hold of, and in times like these every dime you can save is huge.

Keeping my money working is my main goal and I have not been doing a very good job of it until now. I have been thinking about doing a balance transfer credit cards on the three credit cards that I have.

Credit Card Flyers has about the very best program to use for a balance transfer and I was amazed at the steps they have taken to make sure your money stays safe with them. A 0% APR balance transfer makes a lot of sense to me and I am sure that if you checked it out it would make good sense to you also.

Hate to admit……………..

One of the things that I hate to admit is that I am wrong about anything, you can call it being hard headed or as I like to say I am firm in my beliefs. Either way it looks like that dam ground hog was right, it has been 6 weeks to the day that the little sewer rat saw his shadow and we had 6 more weeks of winter. I in no way thought that he was right and I thought we would have an early spring I guess thats why he makes the big bucks, and every one watches him and not me. I hope winter is over now and we can get along with the good stuff that we do in the spring time.

Winter blues

As this month creeps along it has become the month of gloom and doom. The weather is horrible and I am not sure if spring is ever going to make an appearance this year. Some years we get a very early spring and years like this year it seems to creep to us. I know that this year I am so ready for spring and I want to be at the lake with the sun beating down on me, I just am not sure how long I will have to wait for it to be warm enough to go to the lake, I hope it is sooner rather than later.

Nonsense

The news reports have about driven me crazy with the nonsense they put out there. The worst part is that they expect us to believe every piece of crap they report on. The real news you have to search for to even find out what is going on. After getting a drop of a good real story you never hear another word on them I guess they do not want us to be upset by the real news. Take for example the story of the Transit cop shooting an unarmed man in the back in Oakland California, here in Nashville we never heard word one of this important story, nothing on the internet either. The only way we found out was my spouse reads the Bay area papers on the internet and read it there or we would not of known anything about it at all. Give us the real news and keep the fluff pieces in your pocket.
