I received this in an email from a close friend - another woman of a "certain age". Enjoy and no, you don't have to wait for the kids to leave the room!

What Are Your Beliefs?

The always innovative and informative AFF pointed me in the direction of Blue Momma for this quiz.

It is truly intriguing and interesting. Wow, I must be hung up on "i" tonight. There are twenty questions about your religious beliefs. There are no right or wrong answers so you just answer what you really believe.

The quiz will then tell you which organized religion, if any, most closely mirrors your beliefs or, conversely, which organized religion, if any, you most closely adhere to.

Have fun and take it if you'd like. I will be posting my results later in the week.

Fun Monday - Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You

This week's Fun Monday hostess is Janet, dropping in from her very own planet. Here is what she would like to see:

So here's what I want to read about: Write the brief synopsis of this film that you might use to pitch this project and cast the principal players. Who would play you? You can either cast or ignore significant others, children and/or pets. This is, after all, YOUR movie about you you YOU! Illustrate as needed with casting photos or filming locations. Your life not interesting enough? Hey, this is Hollywood. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story!

So, no synopsis for me. I have been taking lessons from Swampy. However, you can have the goodies. If you want the story? Go buy a ticket!

The title?

The theme song? This is it. I am now, or have been, or will be, each and every one of these women.

I would hire, as my costume designer, whoever designed this lovely frock for Fiona. When Fiona was the Princess, the dress fit. When Fiona morphed into the Ogress, the dress fit. I NEED THIS DRESS!

The cast? So easy. I would play myself.

The supporting cast? Here they are.

Spring?

Saturday - 79 degrees

Sunday - 73 degrees

Monday at 6:00 a.m.

Bubble Boy/Bubble Man

Yesterday, while his mom was at work, Lil Man and I kidnapped his Grampits and we went to the big town. We had breakfast at the Waffle House and then we went to one of Lil Man's favorite places.

The Discovery Center is awesome. There is a ton of stuff to do there but I am just gonna share some pictures of Lil Man's favorite from yesterday.

I finally got to the end of the pictures. Here is the man in the bubble. Not nearly so easy to get the bubble to the top without it touching something!

Spring is Coming

Last May, Julie and I brought home this oak tree in the back seat of the Lincoln. So far, the dogs have not eaten it and the wind has not destroyed it.


We have had terrible winds this winter and have lost quite a few shingles off of our roof. The tree has managed to hang onto one solitary leaf.

So now we have last year's leaf and this year's new growth. I believe that spring is fixin' to spring.
