1. When I’m sick I’m curled up in my favorite jammies, drinking hot tea, watching movies or reading. In other words, I baby myself.

2. When I take a walk, I think about the beauty around me and I snap photos.

3. Money can’t buy happiness but it can sure make life easier.

4. Cotton makes me feel comfy and leather makes me feel sexy.

5. The strangest person/character I’ve had lewd thoughts about was Jamie Fraser a Scottish Highlander of the Outlander Book Series that I have read and reread. (I guess that’s considered strange since he’s fictional, right?)

6. My favorite color these days is deep purple because it makes me feel warm and comfortable .

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to feeling better, tomorrow my plans include finally finishing the office (yes, it’s been put off way too long) and Sunday, I want to decide whether or not I want to brave the heat and crowds and take advantage of the backstage passes my sister got us for the RDR Concert!

Movie Reviews:

I haven’t felt so great this week so I caught up on some of the movies I have put on my “to watch” list. A few are worth mentioning…

Penelope: starring Christini Ricci, Catherine O’Hara, James McAvoy, and Reese Witherspoon - A modern romantic fairytale that has quite love-able characters. Christini Ricci as Penelope is charming and James McAvoy as Max won my heart. To be honest, I really didn’t think I would like this movie, it looked silly to me. But I loved it and highly recommend it if you want a magical movie. So I learned a lesson, don’t judge a movie by it’s preview.

The Water Horse- starring Alex Etel, Emily Watson, and Ben Chaplin - Very cute movie about a lonely boy who discovers a mysterious egg that hatches a sea creature of Scottish legend, a Water Horse. The story is very good, the water horse is very cute and like-able, plus some laugh out loud moments during the movie. I really enjoyed the gorgeous scenery throughout the movie, and the soundtrack is very enjoyable too.

If you get a chance to watch either of these movies, let me know what you thought!

Today is my sweethearts birthday, he’s older than me now. (Well, just by three months but I like to rub it in these three months, know what I mean? ) If I could put down in words what this man means to me I’d be a millionaire, as my words would be so poetic that I’d be the next author on Oprah’s book club! He is not only the man that I have loved for the last 25 years, but he’s been my best friend, he’s the guy who surprises me when I think I can’t be surprised anymore, the one who just rolls his eyes when my sister and I get together and revert into fifteen year old girls, and he’s the one that has been the greatest father to the two most beautiful children. Well, not children anymore, young adults now, and they would never have become wonderful adults without the guidance they have received from a loving, strong, supportive dad.

So I just want to say, Happy Birthday to the man who still makes my heart go pitter patter everyday, you rock my world!
