If you cut your hair on Friday the 13th, someone in your family will die. ~ Unknown I found the quote above online and it gave me a good chuckle. I wonder just how many people had haircuts yesterday unaware of the consequences? The British Hubby and I celebrated Friday the 13th not with fashionable…Read more Friday the 13th Kicks off Monster Mayhem 2021

Working From Home: Week 54
Be selective with your battles; sometimes peace is better than being right. Wow, what a week it has been. I'm still mostly working from home. Right now that means, one day a week I'm in the office to do all the items I can't do from home. I've been a bit tired/headache from the first…Read more Working From Home: Week 54
Kong Double Feature
I wish I had left Kong alone on the island. We continued our Kong movie marathon last Friday with the next two Kong movies. The British Hubby and I both thought we had not seen all the King Kong movies, but the first three Kong movies so far have been reruns for us. The Son…Read more Kong Double Feature
Beauty Killed the Beast
Kong the eighth wonder of the world! This week we took a hiatus from our Bond marathon to change gears for a bit. In preparation for Godzilla vs. Kong in March, we're watching all the King Kong movies. The original King Kong movie was made in 1933. It started with a five minute overture. The…Read more Beauty Killed the Beast
Quantum of Solace
"When someone says, 'We're every where.' It's usually hyperbole." ~ M As an introvert married to a hermit crab (aka the British Hubby), we typically love winter storms that cancel all our social activities for a few days and force us to work from home. Last weekend, was our first major snow storm since the…Read more Quantum of Solace

We're back with just a handful of Bond movies remaining. Casino Royale is the next title. This is the first movie…Read more Casino Royale
That’s Right, Woodchuck-chuckers, It’s Groundhog Day!
Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. The other day I was contemplating why I enjoy Groundhog Day so much. Is it six more weeks of winter or six more weeks until spring? Or is it a made up reason to celebrate life when it's cold, dark and you miss the sun? Or maybe this…Read more That’s Right, Woodchuck-chuckers, It’s Groundhog Day!
Celebrating Life: Godzilla vs. Kong
"Nature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offspring's of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla. The reckless ambitions of Man are often dwarfed by their…Read more Celebrating Life: Godzilla vs. Kong
Die Another Day
"I know all about you. Sex for dinner and death for breakfast." Over the holidays, the British Hubby and I took a slight hiatus on our Friday night Bond movie marathon. Die Another Day was our next movie. This is the last movie with Pierce Brosnan as Bond. I've been pondering why I enjoyed this…Read more Die Another Day
The World is Not Enough
"Oh, pipe down 007." ~ Q As we're nearing the conclusion of our Bond movie quest, we've started spacing out the movies. Partially, this gives us time to decide what we'll watch after our Bond movie marathon concludes. It's partially because some of these movies feel very formulaic without much original story line or stunts.…Read more The World is Not Enough
