I am collecting pictures of grandmothers, preferably relatively close-up, by themselves. If you don’t mind me using this photo on my site (with credit going to you), please send me your 320×240 or smaller photo asap. Thanks!
I broke my complex’s solitary washing machine. I think the towels were too heavy. There was a smell of smoke. Please don’t tell.
We’re going to organize a DFW-area Blogger happy hour for next Wednesday evening (the 22nd). Any suggestions where we should have it?
Denise and I will be dining on Chinese food for lunch today. In honor of our meal, I present: Bad Cookie, the real web Chinese fortune cookie.

While at the mall Saturday, I needed to use the restroom facilities. I told Denise I would meet her at the Chick-fil-a, and went in the direction of the toilets. Here is my train of thought: “Door…man at sink…man at urinal…URINAL!” I totally walked into the men’s restroom. That will teach me to pay more attention to the signs.
Friday night found Ashleigh and I viewing American Pie 2, which is very funny if you are looking for some good immature humor. After that, we ate at a burrito place on Greenville, just north of Lover’s. I can’t remember the name of the place, but I know it has a URL somewhere, as it was written on the menu.
Saturday, Denise and I went out for pizza and gelato. Love that Key Lime Pie gelato. Yummy.
Then, we went to the DFW Humane Society, where I dropped off some of the Blogathon donations. They were so happy to be receiving the money. The lady in charge said that they had received a check from California that day, she was tickled. Denise and I pet the cats and dogs, who need lots of love. The Humane Society is able to keep them fed and their cages cleaned, but they have a hard time making sure all the pets get attention. Denise and I are going to start visiting there to pet the animals. If you have some time, go pet the cats and dogs, it is good for them and for you!
The next stop was Valley View Center Mall, where I got my hair trimmed, and Denise got a manicure and pedicure. I am so going to get that done with her next time she goes. Sitting in a massaging chair while someone pampers my feet. Heaven!
Following that, we met up with Chuck to watch The Others. Do not let anyone tell you about this movie. If you have seen it, highlight the following text to get my view.
Start highlight –>Did you figure it out? I am so bad about figuring out movie endings. I didn’t determine that they were already dead until she was walking up the stairs to find her children and the seance. I thought she would go upstairs and find one of those death photos of them together. I thought there could have been more build-up to where she opened the door on the seance. It wasn’t dramatic/scary enough there. Interesting plot twist, though, what with the ghosts being afraid of the people who are alive. After the Sixth Sense and this film, you can’t trick me anymore. I’m on to the “they’re already dead” plot twist. <--End highlight
I recommend if you see this movie, go at an obscure time, so you don’t sit next to an annoying couple that makes jokes about Tom Cruise’s executive producer role every time something suspenseful is about to happen. “Oh! Don’t be afraid Nicole! It’s just Tom Cruise hiding in the shadows!” This kind of spoils the suspense.
Denise and I discovered a Golden Corral restaurant near the movie theatre. We’ve decided we could make a perfect Saturday of manicures/pedicures, petting animals at the Humane Society, feasting on the buffet at Golden Corral, and watching a movie. Class all the way, baby.
If you can tell me what song is in the last third of the trailer for The Musketeer, I will be your best friend.
