I Don't Think We're in Kansas Anymore

Holy Shimoly it's a Blustery Day!!!!

What the heck is going on?

I've already fetched the BBQ cover from the back 40.
My chairs, and they're heavey wooden adirondack ones, have blown over by the fire pit.....more than once! I just quit picking them up!

Salsa got made...one more batch, and then I don't want to see a tomato until next year! JK!
The lawn mower got put in the shed, and the snow blower is out!
V's stuff that was in the shed, in the way, got put into the storage trailor.
Cat's got fed, and I've had my fix of Criminal Minds tonight.
One, I've seen, one not!
And, I've worked on my ATC's.
I'll have you know that the new embossing tool is working fine!
I might take the other one apart. I think it's just in the switch.
I'll see!

My friend Pinky has got some blog candy over on her blog...check it out!
She's one talented lady!

Soooo, I was checking out the cast from the Twilight movies...that's my thing, it's what I do!?
Robert Pattinson (Edward) got points for being in some of the Harry Potter movies.
But...Ladies, did you know he's only 24 in REAL life!?
And Tyler Lautner (Jacob) the werewolf is only 18.
Good Golly Miss Molly!
What are you people lusting after?
Is there no one our own age making movies anymore?
Or should I say, closer to our own age!?
I'm not a regular movie goer, so I don't have a clue!
The kids bring them out on DVD, and I have an armoire full in my craft room that I haven't seen yet!
Yes, I know how old some of them must be!
Some of my VERY favorite movies are: Dirty Dancing, Armageddon, and the Harry Potter movies are right up there.
The kids laugh at me, cause I can watch Armageddon once a week, and cry at the same time every time!
I also like I Am Sam.
And for no brainer, feel good movies, I like movies like Wild Hogs, and The Spy Next Door.

I picked up my curtain rod, and sheers for the living room last Thursday before I left town.
They might get up sometime this week. I'll think about it!

I was working on the November Calendar at the OFH.
The first Sunday is Daylight Saving Time.
What do we gain with that?
Anything? Was it a thing for farmers?
All I know is that for months I go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark.

Better go, need my rest, going to my 'other' job tomorrow.

Ta ta for now!

Hey Hey Hey, It's a Beautiful Day!

Got home around noon from GP!

Unpacked all my goodies!
Except my embossing powders I guess they didn't make the photo!
They were still on my kitchen table!
You can see one of the cards we made at Stamp Club on the upper left there.
I'll take some proper photos and show you later!

I'll back up a little.

Sunrise Thursday morning!
I REALLY am a 'stop & smell the roses' kinda girl!

Thursday when I got to GP, I unpacked my bag at V's, then we went to the little independent scrapbooking store. Just in case she wanted to have Thanksgiving!
I was there at Easter, and she couldn't get anyone to work, so was closed!
Didn't get the Core-dinations paper I wanted, but did get some greens!
She had a lot of the Jillibean Soup Cardstock & paper on sale.
I'm not fussy, I'll use last seasons designs! They were all on sale!
Like I need more cardstock or paper!?


Then we went to Michaels.
I DID get a lamp....not the floor one I wanted, but a desk one. The floor lamps were sold out!
And some other treasures!

We were starving, so went for dinner! V had made a reservation for 5:00 pm, at Ric's Grill.
We showed up at 4:30 and told them we were hungry NOW and it wasn't a problem!

We then went to the Johnny Reid concert!
WOW! That's all I got to say.

The Stellas were the opening act!
I'm hoping when you click the link, you'll be at utube, and can hear them sing Love Hurts, cause they rocked that song!
Johnny Reid is a great entertainer!
He gave that little girl a T-shirt, and she got up on stage to help him with a song!
She had the time of her life, and the rest of the show, she danced in the aisle and copied the backup singers/dancers!

Johnny Reid came out for an encore, then asked us if we'd stay for another song! WOULD WE!!!!
HELL YA!!!!

We got back to V's at 10:30 pm or so, and watched Twilight.
I didn't hate the movie.
But I gotta tell ya, Edward just didn't do it for me!
I think I'm still liking Tall, Dark, And Handsome, and I'm sorry, I got nuthin for the Werewolf either.......he was such a child.

Friday morning we watched New Moon. I gotta tell ya that V's a fan.
I didn't hate that one either. And really, they're quite long movies, but I thought they were fine!
We also found out that Eclipse will be released around Christmas. Mind you, that was at WalMart, and they might have just been placating V!
And OMG, I just read that the movie Breaking Dawn, will be 2 movies, WTH!
That's the book I haven't read yet.

We had just enough time to watch it before our pedicures at T & T Nails with V's friend L!
They're in the mall in GP, and the massage chairs are to die for!

When I go visit V, she has our itinerary planned out for days and nights!
And she knows I don't watch a lot of movies!

Last night we watched Gran Torino. I found it a tad gory (which is a little hypocritical I suppose after the vampire flicks!), but a great story, and I liked it!

I've done some laundry, and blanched some tomoatoes for Salsa......I have enough tomatoes left for 2 more batches......then I'm quitting!

And I'm really feeling like a nap!

So better go! Want to see if this embossing tool works! Remember mine just quit!?

Ta ta for now!
