Movie Madness - Beautiful Creatures

 photo 131660h1_zps0ccf8f34.jpg
After weeks of missing in action, I was just so happy to finally make it to Movie Madness, I hardly cared if the movie was actually any good. Something like that bumper sticker: A bad day at the lake is better than a good day at the office. But I should have realized, sitting with two other mall rats at the food court just like back in high school, hey, even my old high school boyfriend showed up, joining the other blonde Scottsdale beauties, for a burger and fries, that we were in for a teeny bopper flick. So besides a few memorable lines and a couple of scenes from what, on paper, was an extraordinary cast, we all walked out thinking we probably should have just stayed in the food court for two hours and watched the world go by.

Lovely Saturday afternoon trip to England - giving us all hope that, in the end, there's still time to sing.
And, to keep our vocal chords in good shape, a gossipy drink after the movie, too!

Anonymous

Hey, Anonymous, I know who you are now. Minding my own business, blogging away, someone hacked in. Left a message. "Anonymous" loves my blog, begged me to go to his blog. Don't click, Lisa. Don't click. But I did and the next day, my junk mail box looked like this: P@yd@y Lender$. Lo@n$ Are U$. @cme p@yd@y (my IT gurus taught me to use symbols to increase safety). I don't know if it will work, but for the time being, if anyone would like to comment, you can't be anonymous anymore. I realize blogging and privacy don't really go hand-in-hand, but I'm not the only (oxy)moron out there - Micro$oft, F@cebook, and @pple all have been hacked recently. I'm being forced to "upgrade" my hotm@il account to outlook, whatever that is. I'd love to get all upset and switch to someone new, but I soooo hate to give up my address. Do you how many Li$@ $ulliv@n$ there are out there? Thousands. And I'm the only one with a nice, clean, no numbers or symbols address. Hotm@il's protecting me a bit, sending the creepy ones to Junk, so for now, I've just got to be more careful. Work harder to be anonymous. We all do.

Book Club - The Twelve Tribes of Hattie

 photo images-5_zps07deb97e.jpg
Novel lesson: Stay strong, ladies.

Shoring up the cabinets.
Lighting the fire.
Playing musical chairs.
Standing room only.
Fooling nobody with amazing food.
Finding an anchor.
Strawing the wine.
Astonishing kitchen elves.
Cheers, cheers, cheers.
