10 Random Things for a Friday

It’s Friday again.  First, I need to share this story that someone shared with me.   My first response was, oh my goodness.  My second thoughts was OH MY GOODNESS! it’s in an UK paper.  Yeah, the US is so smart.

Now, on to our regularly scheduled programing.

  1. Did you know that Voila is how you spell that work that sounds like whalla.  Yeah, I didn’t either because I don’t speak French.
  2. I lost three pounds this week ~^*^~ <== that would be my happy dance.  LOL
  3. I guess my sister and nephew will be moving here around November 9th.  When I say here, I mean HERE as in my place.
  4. I’m keeping my eyes open for a bigger place.  (You did read #3, right?) I just keep going back and forth as to whether I want to buy or rent.  I’m leaning towards renting.
  5. The fair is going on right now.  I might go tomorrow but don’t really know.
  6. It’s been so cold this week.  Last weekend was so hot.  Now it’s cold.  I’ve been wearing sweatshirts most days and had to find my umbrella.
  7. I cleaned my office this week.  OK, maybe cleaned isn’t the right word, I sorted and organized, kind of.  OK, you can see the floor and my desk has room to work on it again.
  8. I think I’m going to eat leftover pizza for dinner tonight.  Maybe, I also took some beef out to make beef rolls but I might do that tomorrow instead.  Too many decisions.
  9. Many of you know my really good friend Carolyn.  Well she made a super cool announcement this week that knocked my socks off.  Seriously, you have to read her news and send her congrats.  (Yes, that’s random but I keep opening that page and rereading her news because I’m so excited for her!)
  10. It’s Friday, I kind of want to take an early weekend but the work is calling so….

Have a great one!

Idaho weather

I seriously don’t know if I will ever get used to Idaho weather.  It’s CRAZY.  Sunday it was 106 out.  Hotter than hot.  I spent the day on the boat, or rather, in the lake beside the boat because it was the only place that you could be that didn’t make you feel like your brain was frying.  Monday was 103 and miserable beyond belief.  Today, I’m wearing my winter socks, a sweatshirt, and pants and FREEZING.  Seriously, I’m about to get my gloves so my hands will warm up because they’re so cold.  Hmm….maybe I should close the windows.  LOL  OK, I guess I shouldn’t really complain too much when I have the doors and windows open.

Some movie reviews

I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. I’ve actually watched a few that were pretty good so I thought I’d share the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Flightplan I know, this movie has been out for a while. This is just the first time I’ve actually watched it. It was really good. I really enjoyed the movie and highly recommend it.

Friends with Money Waste of your time. This money SUCKED big time. I like Jennifer Aniston so I was sure I’d like this movie. Not even close. It was bad. (Although, not even close to how horrible Margot at the Wedding was.)

Next I watched Proof. I actually saw a preview for it on another movie and thought it looked good. Nope. Another disappointment.

See, I’m being honest with you and saving you some time by telling you the bad but I have watched some good movies so keep reading. :)

Witless Protection was the next movie that showed up. I know you’re thinking well, duh. But, I like Larry the Cable Guy so I thought it would be funny. Nope. Another bad one.

With this bad run I’m just glad I belong to Blockbuster online and didn’t pay for each of these rentals. Yes, I pay the monthly fee but it’s a lot cheaper than each individual rental at the store. Plus, I got some other free rentals at the store which I can’t remember right off the top of my head.

National Treasure 2 – Book of Secrets Finally my bad streak ended. I had my doubts about this movie. I liked the first one but it had an ending so I wasn’t sure how they’d pull off a #2. It worked, and the movie was good. Definitely one to rent.

Annapolis a little predictable but it was good. If you can’t find something else that looks interesting this one is worth an evening. But, don’t drop other plans to watch it.

Rumor Has It… another disappointment but not nearly as bad as Definitely Maybe which should have been called Definitely Maybe NOT!

Honestly, by this point I’ve begun to doubt my ability to pick out movies. Seriously, I’ve watched so many that SUCKED that I was on the verge of canceling my Blockbuster membership and sleeping instead. Luckily my next arrival was An Unfinished Life which was extremely good. Followed by 21 and The Bank Job which both were worth sticking through my bad run.

Next I got Fool’s Gold and The Great Debaters which were both winners. The next arrival was Tyler Perry’s Meet The Browns which was good for a light evening. Followed by Chaos and Confidence which were both good.  (I watched Chaos and Confidence after each other and I’d recommend putting something else between them but that’s just because I don’t enjoy watching two crime movies one after the other.)

So, that’s what I’ve been doing over the past two months.

10 Random Things for a Friday

It’s FRIDAY!  Woohoo!

  1. It’s going to be hot today, in fact, it’s already hot and it’s barely 10AM.  I don’t like HOT.
  2. The cat is doing really well.  He’s learned to let me sleep at night and occupies himself during the day when I’m trying to work.  He loves his throne and likes being by me but is OK with not being ON me.  :)   WooHoo!
  3. Did I mention it’s hot?
  4. My plants look like crap.  The heat is really destroying them and they look like I lost my green thumb. I’m so upset, I love my plants and now I have a bunch of scraggly looking things all over my front porch.
  5. People are annoying me today.  Other people are screwing things up for me and making things not work out like they should.  I’ll get through it, they are just annoying me.
  6. Last weekend I made some cool hair clips and when I showed some people I got a bunch of orders for them.  I’m excited.  I need to work on perfecting the design a little bit because I need to take it up a small notch to get the price I want for them.  But, I’m super excited.
  7. I also designed a pretty cool new product and had an awesome friend do a more professional design.  As soon as I get the raw material too her she’s going to work up a prototype to go to the test phase.  I already have orders for that if I can get the final design worked out and produced.
  8. It’s Friday and I have no plans for the weekend other than babysitting a friend’s kids.  This sucks.  I hate having no weekend plans, I usually end up sitting at home when that happens.
  9. My sister thinks she and my nephew might be moving up here.  If she does she’ll be living with me for a while while she gets settled.  Which means I need a bigger place.  Guess that’s one way to get away from the annoying upstairs neighbor.
  10. Did I mention that is HOT!?!

Have a great weekend!  :)
