​As you know, I’ve been sick.
I was flipping through the possible ‘romantic’ movies for something light to help put me to sleep.  Action seemed too rambunctious.
So….flipping through….yeah….yeah…Fatal Attraction.
Are they serious?
WHO would call that a romantic film?
That’s romantic like “Guardians of the Galaxy” is a documentary.
By the way….I hear the new Guardians movie is fantastic!
Notes: Everyone in the world should watch Fatal Attraction to lull them to sleep. Yikes. That would make for some weird dreams. 

 

Yippee!

The beacons are lit!
Gondor calls for aid!
I LOVE the signal fires and the music that goes with them!
Notes: Still Lord of the Rings.

The day may come when we forsake all bonds of fellowship, but it is NOT this day!
Definitely one of my favorite speeches.
Notes: Often times I get an email and must immediately run to Google for context. Apparently we’ve been re-watching Lord of the Rings.

OMG!  I’m pretty sure Monopoly just added a T Rex, duck and penquin to its tokens!
I didn’t read the article, but that’s what the headline indicated.
The T Rex might look funny next to the race car…just sayin
Notes: … I didn’t read the article… :: dies laughing::

So.,,,evidently, if I had a light saber, I could cut down dead trees with a single swipe.
Put that down for me for Mothers’ Day…that would be way cool.
Also, I need to get better soon or else hide the computer.
I just ordered all new cushions for the porch furniture from overstock.com.
Love,
Mom
Notes: I wasn’t able to find her a tree chopping down light saber. If anyone’s got any leads, let me know.

​Just wanted to check in….
I’m still sick, but I’m taking the RX on schedule.
Ryan came today to replace the recycling pump on the water heater.  Guess what?  I need a new water heater.  Five points to anyone that saw THAT coming.  I think I’m on water heater #57.  Geesh.
He asked if I had to have the 60 gallon (special order), or would the 50 gallon work.
Since I’m the only one here, I’m going with the 50 gallon.  We’ll see what happens.  What’s the worst that can happen?  I’ve been taking luke warm/cold showers for 2 weeks now.  Hmmmm….could be why I’m not getting any better.
I did mow last night because the grass was shin high and rain is forecast for the next 3 days.
Bright spot for today:  Even though its cloudy and most likely going to rain…I stopped and got Wendy’s single and a chili.  While I was perusing their menu, what did I see?
Green Tea!  I got a large.  It tastes a LOT like the green tea at Panera and I can taste the sugar, but I’m worth it today.
I’ve been sick for 3 weeks, my house is still a disaster, I have no idea how they are not only going to remove a 60 gallon water heater from basement but also take a new one down while trying to dodge all the Christmas deco that is still in disarray…..so I get a big green tea with an untold amount of sugar.
I need ‘The Flash’ to come and put the Christmas deco away.
Notes: Green Tea – Because you’re worth it.
