Movie. Midnight. Mamaw.

I must confess ...

I've never seen a Harry Potter movie.

Not one.

Ever.

Do you still love me?

And tonight at midnight is the premier of the last ever Harry Potter movie.

Is it the last one?

I don't even know.

Nor do I really care.

Jordan is going with some friends.

No, I'm not taking her.

Or picking her up.

Some other suckers really great moms are taking a group of teens.

Jordan is spending the night with some gals.

So I don't even have to stay up for her, and I can proceed with my most boring exciting evening plans of watching some ridiculous Sasquatch show with the Captain and then going to bed by 8:30 pm.

I don't get out much.

That's why I've never seen Harry Potter.

And I'm really ok with that.

Have a nice day.

Love,
Mamaw

We love watching all the Christmas shows this time of year. Of course the classics like Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. And of course Charlie Brown Christmas. We love all those. I bought "It's a Wonderful Life" and "White Christmas" this year and am hoping the kids will enjoy these traditional favorites.

But then there are the "non-traditional" Christmas movies.... Like The Santa Clause movies, Home Alone, Elf. And my all-time favorite, The Christmas Story. I love that movie. It makes me laugh out loud. Who doesn't love Ralphie and his quest for the Red Ryder BB gun. "You'll shoot your eye out!" The Little Orphan Annie secret society decoder ring. The Fra-Gee-Lay leg lamp. The tongue stuck on the pole. That movie is just so funny.

What do you like to watch during the holiday?

Jerry greeted us this morning sitting on the table in the foyer.

Hope you can catch your favorite holiday movie this season.

Have a super duper day people!

Am I the only one?

Now I admit, I don't go see movies much at the theatre. And if I do, they are usually movies for the kids. In fact, I can't even tell you the last 'grown up' movie The Captain and I saw at the theatre. Or a rental at home for that matter. But, all that being said, I *still* have no desire to see the new Batman movie. I know it's all the rage right now, especially with Heath Ledger and all. But I'm just not interested. What about you?

Today is hot, hot, hot

I tivo'd a stability ball/pilates show on Fit TV yesterday and did that this morning. It felt good and I'm glad I finally got my lazy behind out of bed and did it. The show was actually even enjoyable and 'non-annoying' as some video workouts can be.

Today will be hot, hot, hot. High today is 96. When you factor in the humidity, I think the heat index will hover around 235 degrees. It's definitely the Dog Days of Summer. Bloggie Doggie loves that and urges you to chill out today. He's getting a head start. (PS - His tummy issue is much better thank you.)


The kids went home with my sister after church last night so I had the entire house all to myself (insert angelic singing here). That is a rarity for sure. I actually WATCHED A MOVIE. The whole thing. In one sitting. (Anne, can you believe that?!) I had tivo'd The Memory Keepers Daughter which was on Lifetime a few weeks ago. Dermot Mulroney was in it and he is a pleasure to look at I tell you. (Emily Watson plays the nurse. She was also the mom in Water Horse. I finally figured that out. ) I read the book awhile back. Good read and good movie. Check it out if you can.

Today is Lucie Arnaz's birthday. She is, of course, Lucille Ball's (my all time fave) daughter. She turns 57.

Today is also National Peach Ice Cream Day. I think we should celebrate.

Stay cool people.
