...and sooooooooooooooooooooo ready for the weekend!
The snow is only a memory now...and Spring is only 52 days away. Much warmer outside today!
Have bulbs ready to force for some early Spring color (and pollen) in the house.
By the time the Paperwhites and Hyacinths open...the house starts smelling just like Indy's Flower and Patio Show (and I am pre-medicating with antihistamines...but it is so worth it!) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-chooooo
Found possibly the BEST TATTOO-ever! I may have to do it..or something similar, soon.
Laughed entirely too long over this. Could see a small version on this in the palm of my hand
(slapping the table during brunch)
"Damned Minions"
Anything for a laugh...right?
A Cinderella Day here.
Cleaning, Scrubbing, Laundry, Dusting...and running out later for Weekend Provisions.
Planning a relaxing Retreat of a Weekend. My good friend Loretta has been hospitalized for several days with complications after that damned flu...culminating in pneumonia...so this week has been fairly chaotic. Just exhausted today. She has had a rough winter and I worry for her...glad that it will be Spring before too long...and hoping she can make it until then.
After the whole Tide Pods thing I had to share these:
And who KNEW the walls were filled with Cotton Candy!
LMAO!
PSA: Do I REALLY have to tell you NOT to chew on wires or consume fiberglass?????????????????????
I think that Darwin fellow was right.
Just saying.
Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Girl Scout Cookies soon.
And planning to put back a sleeve of Thin Mints for "Idgy" and I to use as mix-in in homemade ice cream in April.
Only
FLAMING THIN MINTS, BATMAN!!!
~laughing~
And now for Les Nouvelles de Trump
A request was put in for the borrowing of a Van Gogh entitled Landscape for the Trump Bedroom at the White House.
Yes. Guggheim offered them the use of this fully functional 18K solid gold statue...er...commode.
An artistic creation (statement piece) by Maurizio Cattelan simply entitled America.
There has been no response from The White House.
This week's Book:
Future Home of the Living God
The latest offering by Louise Erdrich. Set in a future dystopian society where evolution is beginning to reverse at an accelerating rate and pregnant woman are being "hunted" and institutionalized before they give birth to their children.
Following the pregnancy of one woman (Cedar Birdsong...nee Mary Potts). It is a page turner from beginning to end.
One spoiler...if you are looking for a happy ending...well...this is not the book for you.
Well written and completely engaging!
Worth a look.
This week's Movie
Which I had actively resisted seeing...as I loved the original with Robin Williams.
This wasn't your typical remake. They updated Jumanji from a board game to a video game. The storyline took a completely (refreshingly) different turn altogether. The casting was outstanding.
All in all I enjoyed it very much. I think you will, too!
Tomorrow...we will continue Virtual Australia!
More anon...
