Saw Hidden Figures yesterday with my hubby in a small theater with about 5 other people; today went with my 21 yr old son and the theatre was maybe 1/2 full with a Very Appreciative crowd :-) Lots of laughing out loud and clapping as well as applause at the end.

Jacob dyed his hair magenta a couple of days ago--in my bathroom--and afterwards the shower looked like a crime scene from CSI.   I COULD NOT shower in it until it had been scrubbed down completely (at 1 in the morning) because my brain kept playing that loud shrieking Psycho music every time I looked at it.  Thank goodness for Barkeeps Friend!

Ordered a present for Jacob's 20th birthday from Amazon.com Saturday night...it arrived this afternoon. Billed as UPS ground from Hebron KY to Austin TX. Impressive! (and the dragon is adorable, too!)

Totally had a Senior Moment earlier.  My niece and I drive very similar cars...hers is a Town and Country Van, midnight blue; mine is a Dodge Grand Caravan, midnight blue.  I had to take my son some medicine at school and when I came back, my van was in the driveway.  I looked at my steering wheel, at my husband's truck (which is the only other ( Read more... )
