The Last Two Weeks

I promised myself this blog would never be about work, but knowing you all deal with the same kind of stuff I do, I must say it's been crazy The Last Two Weeks. Enough said.

Above is a photo of Hay Stack Rock. Jim and I drove to the coast last weekend and walked on the beach. So many hotties. At times I thought I was in SO California. I am so used to the SO OR coast where there are no people walking around. We went to Cannon Beach, which takes about 1.5 hours from Portland. It was just good for me to bond with Jim. Such a good guy. Thanks Jim!

My weekends have been full of movies, DVD TV series, a garage sale and lots of house cleaning and weeding. I have some media recommendations for you all. Calendar Girls (British movie with Helen Mirren), Definitely, Maybe (romantic comedy, many may tease me, but who doesn't like love?) It made me feel good. DVD TV series: Eureka. This is a show on the SCIFI Channel apparently. I don't have cable, so I rely on renting DVDs for all my cable viewing. Love this show! I am not a huge SCIFI fan, but this show is well done and very entertaining. It's all about a top secret town which inhabits the smartest people in the world. Don't see Mix With Water, waste of time. I also watched the first X-Files movie again, which was delightful. About a month ago I watched the whole mini-series of John Adams, which I also recommend.

On the Internet: For all you mothers, check out: www.inthemotherhood.com Don't ask me how I discovered this site (a long chain of clicking and Youtube), but there are some great webisodes with Chelsea Handler and other folks acting out real life "mother" stories.

That's it for now. I am currently in Pasco, WA getting ready to watch the Opening Ceremony to the Olympics, which I always love. I've watched the opening ceremonies since the Summer Olympics in LA back in 1984. I was 12. And I think in 1988 Whitney Houston sang a theme song, which put me over the top.

Below is a one-handed photo of me and Jim on the beach. Don't make fun of my huge head. :o)
