We went to services this morning and I found it incredibly interesting.  The theme for today was broken parts and healing; to me, there is an auxillary part which is resistance.  I don't quite know how it all fits together, but it does all seem related.  I was talking with someone earlier in the week about how my mornings suck with DD1 because she ( Read more... )

I've been chugging away at the lobster quilt.  I think I will finish it this week.  Wahoo!  The baby was born last week, so I have further motivation to get it done:)

I've been cooking and cleaning and stuff like that.  Oh, and I've been watching movies.  So far the best have been O Brother Where Art Thou and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  Cold Mountain ( Read more... )

I finished watching Cold Mountain this morning.  I was glued to the screen.  Glued.  It is not an easy movie to watch; there are many painful scenes and it doesn't have a happy ending (I don't think I spoiled the ending, did I?) but it is deeply affecting.  Watch it, but don't watch it right before bed.

Um, I cannot keep up with the volume of posts lately.  If I missed something important, please point me there.  This morning I left the house at 8:30 and didn't get home until around 1:15?  Then we left again at 3 and didn't get home until 4:30.  And I cooked some sage sausages for dinner.  Shew.  I'm pooped.  I went to a friend's house this ( Read more... )

Been very busy.  I got a lot of stuff done yesterday and went to my quilt guild meeting last night to show off the lobster quilt top.  Today I was at school working (I drove for a field trip on Monday).  I finally get Friday morning off and I'm taking it!  LOL ( Read more... )

I just signed up for a free month of netflix.  What should I try to get?  Other than Cold Mountain, I don't feel like I've really missed anything in the last 10 years of not much movie watching:)

I'm feeling too self-recriminatory to make any sort of post today, so I'll just ask you which pointless movie I should watch:

• The Last of the Mohicans (BBC production -- ok, maybe this one isn't pointless)
• A Series of Unfortunate Events
• Tuck Everlasting

Here's hoping to an upward trend tomorrow.  Nothing has gone horribly wrong; just wrong enough in my ( Read more... )

I feel like we got a lot done this weekend.  I, personally, did some cooking, went and visited a friend who had a baby a couple weeks ago, went to a dance, went to a Shape Note sing, helped dh look for a backpack (read: went to store and watched girls wreak havoc in store while dh leisurely perused the backpacks; at least I gave him a time limit ( Read more... )

Since my wrist is hurting like a bugger today, I'm going to try to keep this short.  Here are the main points:

• cleaned up house a bit
• got DD1 off to school
• dropped off library books
• filled up car with gas
• drove around for DD2 to fall alseep

I just watched Johnny Depp in Willy Wonka (from '05). Heh. I wasn't paying full attention, but there were two scenes that caught my attention ( Read more... )
