Hot Men Friday

 Leonardo DiCaprio

Mmm! 

My friend Shelley-Belly and I went to see The Great Gatsby a long time ago and when Gatsby was finally shown to us on the screen (Leo) the two of us did a collective sigh because he was so golden and lovely. He has become a very handsome man and I enjoy every movie he's in.

The Great Gatsby

Always Wondering

• Why does everyone hang their televisions on the wall even if they have a lovely credenza to place it on? 
• How do the people with the long long fingernails clean their lady (and/or manly) bits? 👀
• Do people put makeup on every day? 
• Do people generally always have a company-ready house?
• Is it normal to want to get new luggage all the time? I've only been on a plane twice now since the pandemic. 
• Do all of us get huge satisfaction getting new batteries in all their lovely watches?
• Is it okay to put on a Yankees cap rather than do (my) hair?
• Why is it so hard for this country to simply make everyone register their firearms and keep records of a sale or theft? Smoke vs fire and all that. 👀
• Why do I have to reapply Chapstick dozens of times a day and yet cannot drink over 16 oz of water in a day. 😑
• How do dust-bunnies reappear hours after running that damn Roomba?
• Is that Roomba doing anything?
• Am I doing anything?

Summer! Today and yesterday just might be perfection. Windows open, fresh breezes, fresh grass smells wafting in, my dog barking like a crazed mutt if anyone dare walk by the house. I love her, but I believe she's responsible for dust-bunnies and my peace of mind. Ha!

~And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Get out there today! Make it and shake it. xxoo

The Resurrection of Hot Men Friday - For Me Me Me

 Austin Butler

Pup and I went to see "Elvis" a few weeks ago. I was blown away. This kid made me believe Elvis was truly still alive and just as he was, pink suits, lacy shirts, perfect jet black hair, a cool factor that can't be faked, but just is.

You know how a movie sometimes will stick in your brain days and days after seeing it? This one did that for me. I was sobbing pretty hard at the end because Elvis' end was so tragic. 

If you can or have a mind to, run and see this on a screen near you. Even if you are not an Elvis fan, you will love the joy and happiness that seemed to be in Elvis and the sadness he had at the end. 

Loved it!

Are you believing?

Back & Forth; Left & Right; Needing to be the Loudest Voice in the Room

I have been so angry for several years. I don't love it much. Angry and judgmental of many in my life. This is not the woman I want to be. I am searching for ways to make peace with my anger around things since 2016 and redirect my anger towards something productive? Or entertaining? Or educational? Or even interesting?

I am always and forever bossy and opinionated and in this time that is kinda a shut-up-and-appear-stupid time. You know, the old quote that goes something like, "Be quiet and thought a fool or open your mouth and remove all doubt." It seems a long thing to tattoo on my person, but maybe it could be a good reminder? Or just shut up and dance. 

On My Phone:

Davie shamed into submission. She's fine the little Drama Queen

Our little Squeeks is 14 years old! 

Well, this thing did need some sort of carrying system am I right? 

I love the morning light in my Big Room

I swore to never get a recliner. And then I found this weird little thing. I know, I know, it doesn't work entirely with the sofa, but it's a good thing for this knee-challenged person!

Summer called out to me to get a new ridiculous bag. I was happy to comply
