Children’s movies that aren’t…or are they

Student Life has an article on The Top 10 Kids Movies Inappropriate for Kids. On this list are some of my favorite movies. There are ones that my son and I enjoyed together and watched many time. While I can understand the reasoning behind thinking some of the films such as Time Bandits, Coraline (thought […]

Love, love, love…

Valentine’s Day — a day to celebrate love. Today, I did a load of wash, made a big pot of chili, hosted a Capclave PR meeting for the current chair, wished a friend Happy Birthday, finished a book I was reading (Death’s Daughter by Amber Benson — the review will be in the March SFRevu.com), […]

Knitting is happening…

Occasionally, or as often as I can find a way to fit it in, knit happens. I finished the other pair of socks I was working on, except for sewing in the ends and writing up the directions. They actually came out pretty nice — more on them later in another post. So, I bought […]

January Coffee Cup & stuff….

Finally, got my act together enough to do a blog post. It’s been a heck of a week starting last Thursday when I appeared to be coming down with a cold. Then came the weather changes and the migraines to put the cherry on top. The last two days I’ve actually felt human again and […]

How do they walk in high heels?

We went out shopping today. Saturday is the day we usually get the week’s groceries and run errands. So, in the course of doing that I happened to spot a nice looking young woman coming in from the parking lot as we were heading out. Leather jacket and large purse, nice turtle-neck sweater, jeans, and […]
