Bacon Maple Bars is the name of the new franchise I am opening in select cities across the USA.

We sell octopus eggs.....but I don't think many people would come in if our sign read: Octopus Eggs.

Now my husband is trying to figure out why I am laughing like a loon

Isn't he used to that by now?

 

I supposeI should have included a smiley face, but I figured you would know I was kidding.

I knew my dear!!

two more days until I go back to work. I'm not sure I'm ready for it. But it's ready for me.

I made a slight dent in the to-watch DVD stack. That's about all the work I've done at hone.

Are you feeling stronger, John?

I am, except for breathing today. Don't know why. And how are you, TCB?

For the first time I went to my library site & put a hold on a DVD, MONEYBALL.  I am the 71th person in the queue for this.  Once a DVD becomes available it will be held for ten days.  The DVD may then be checked out for a week.  Late fees are only 20 cents a day.  The library has 4 available disks.  I highly suspect we will have picked this movie up at the Redbox long before my library offers it to me. 

That is crazy. 71 people? We have at most 5 people for each movie. How many people does your library serve?  My library is only for my suburb. My sister's suburb which is 10 minutes away as its own library.

When I put something on reserve that is popular, I'm in the pool with the entire city. So, there are sometimes 250 ahead of me for a movie like "Bridesmaids" or "Captain America." Or, if I'm early, I was in the first round to get "Moneyball."

I noticed that the gas prices have gone up by twenty-five cents in the last week.  What's the excuse THIS time?  Someone needs to do something about this - these ASSES run this country and make the rules.  It's got to stop.

Finished with season one of Downton Abbey, each episode terrific with nary a misstep.  I hope that season two continues to be as good, but I think I've already seen some comments from folks who don't think so.  Then again, I rarely agree with people, so I'm ever hopeful.

Where's MBarnum? Saw this obit for Elyse Knox, 1940s actress and mother of Mark Harmon.

Off to watch THE HELP.

'night

[bk]

MBarnum doesn't live here anymore.  I no longer care WHAT the excuse is - for me, there is no excuse.  He's a Facebook person now.  He certainly has enough time to post on there twenty times a bloody day. 

And speaking of errant and truant, what's the deal with Jose?

The service was very nice. It was something new for ALL of us. The guest of honor was able to attend, and friends she has had for 50 plus years were able to attend and told sweet loving stories about her. One of her friends played "How Great Thou Art" on the grand piano, and one of the women sang "His Eye is On the Sparrow." I left before the end to get into the kitchen to help set out the foodstuffs. Then I stayed and helped with the dishes. I am tired. Her family is all from out of town, and they were all amazed at all the work we all did. I told her that her mother is very loved in our congregation.

Was that my arrangement?

No. She sang a capella.

[John G.]

Night, all.

One of the local news reporters just came on with a teaser for the upcoming newscast.  "We are getting word of a police stand-off involving a 10 month old infant."  Doesn't that sound a little strange?

We had a case in town last week where the police shot and killed a man holding his grandbaby.

Incredibly it seems no one was killed in the accident I saw this morning:

Looking at that blue car it is amazing no one was killed.

As If We Never Said Goodbye

Buenos Aires

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

Everything's Alright

Freight

Growltiger's Last Stand

Half a Moment

Married Man from Tell Me On a Sunday/Song & Dance

And most of Joseph..., and many mote.

YAY!!   DE George, I love that FREIGHT is on your list!!!!

Thanks!  That's also my sister's favorite song from Starlight Express, which we saw live in London in December, 2001!

Better seeing a show live than dead I always say.

Sort of a long the lines of "This show was taped in front of a live studio audience". A dead audience doesn't laugh as much.

Listening to music. 

[Michael]

I saw a very enjoyable concert with Rachel York and Brent Barrett, AKA WSMA.  They sang a lot of show tunes as well as some pop songs, including a Bachrach medley.  Rachel did a terrific job on "He Touched Me."  I think my favorite of Brent's was a medley of "Love Makes the World Go Round" and "Some Enchanted Evening."    Rachel told a hilarious story about the time Liza Minnelli filled in for Julie Andrews in "Victor/Victoria," complete with impersonations of both ladies.  She sounded just like Julie.

And what did she have to say about Ms. Minnelli? I know that Tony Roberts refused to work with her after she kept screwing up

Time to sleep.

Listening to music.

Music is what I'm listening to.  Actually I'm listless whilst listening.

There are times when I loathe Facebook.  This is one of those times.
