As much as I am on the internet and as much as I love to listen to music, I am so excited to have found a web site called Pandora.com This is a web site that lets you pick the type of music that you like by choosing 2 or 3 or 4 of your favorite artists or groups. Then they create a personal station for you that plays music by those artists plus they add in a handful of similar artists. I love that idea!
Broadway Plays
It seem like forever since I’ve seen a Broadway play. I used to go to the theater a lot. I love acting, plays, movies – the whole thing. I was in our school plays all the way through junior high and high school. I miss that.
The current shows at our local theater are not the plays that I have an interest in. I guess I will have to take a trip to a major city for a culture enhancing weekend and see a good play out of town. It is relatively easy to go to Atlanta or Chicago from here, for just a weekend getaway. Or maybe I’ll totally splurge and go to New York City!
Bad Russell
I think Katy is the cutest thing and the most fun singer out there. I love her outrageous costumes and sassy attitude.
I think her hubby was wrong to take this photo of her with no makeup and a very unflattering pose, then put it on the internet. That is like bullying in my mind, and that is not what a loving husband would do to his wife.
But even in this photo, I think she is beautiful. I am sure she would prefer to be seen with her makeup on and her hair done, but there is nothing wrong with how e looks without it. I love Katy, with makeup on or off!
Happy New Year!
Tonight is so exciting! The end of a year and the end of a decade! And tomorrow starts a great New Year – full of possibilities and promise. I can’t wait for the clock to strike midnight and start our 2011 new adventure. I am looking forward to lots of good times with friends and family.
Happy New Year, Everybody!
Merry Christmas!
We have a white Christmas! Everything is covered with perhaps an inch of beautiful snow. How exciting!
My dogs think it is very strange and since they do not like wet feet, they don’t want to be out in the snow much at all. I can’t say that I blame them about being outside, cold and wet. I think we will enjoy the snow from our living room windows and have a nice Christmas day at home relaxing.
Merry Christmas!
A White Christmas!
The weather forecast for this weekend is for snow on both Saturday and Sunday, possibly starting as early as Friday night! That means a white Christmas for Tennessee! The news channel that I watch says that we have only enjoyed a measurable snow on Christmas 9 times in over 100 years of record keeping. I had not realized that until now. So this year will be very special!
Tuscany
Movie lines always stick me with long after the movie ends. Sometimes I remember a couple of key lines better than the names of the actors and actresses.
I watched Under the Tuscan Sun last night. It was absolutely intriguing to follow the main character through her healing process or rebirth by moving to Italy on a whim. One of the lines that I really like follows the main character’s discovery that a man who was blatantly flirting with her is married. Her friend reassures her, “Flirting is a ritual in Italy. Just enjoy it.”
Watching the Snow
We had snow showers today. I’m not sure how you define “snow showers” versus “it snowed.” There was nothing on the ground or the roads – it just blew around and fell as big wet flakes for hours and hours. I liked it, especially since I did not have to go anywhere all day and was not worried about bad roads.
Pigged Out on Turkey
This little piggy cooked for Thanksgiving. This little piggy ate a lot. This little piggy is plowing through the leftovers- yum! Tomorrow there will be none. LOL
This was a nice Thanksgiving for me. Very quiet, lots of good food. I missed my family, but i called and spoke on the phone to everyone for a little bit. I feel so relaxed and refreshed. It was good.
Turkey Day
I want to wish all my family and friends a very Happy Thanksgiving. I’m sorry I’m not driving “home” for the holiday feast this year. I can’t make it work, but I am going to make sure to get there for Christmas!
I bought a small turkey and a frozen Sara Lee pumpkin pie. I’m going to give it a try while I don’t have too many critics to worry about pleasing. The turkey only needs 2 hours to cook, so I’ll be putting it in the oven in a few minutes and hope it turns out well.
