Friday Fragments


Mommy's Idea

Friday.. more like FRIGID FRIDAY!!!!  BRRR!!!!!  I guess we cant complain.  Its been in the 50's here for weeks.  But when the temps drop, that makes it feel even colder.  The only good thing?  We're not that far out from Spring.  I'm ever the optimist.  While I'm thawing out from the cold morning, let's frag...

******
So today is THE day... Beauty & the Beast... back in theaters... in 3D!!!!! I'm so giddy about it!  Feels like I'm back in 1991.  When it was in the theaters in 1991, I think I saw it on the big screen at least half a dozen times.  Wonder how many times I'll check it out in 2012?  I'm kinda nervous though because I havent seen a 3D movie since....oh... I dont know... that's how long its been.  I know I saw "A Bug's Life" in Disney World with that 3D thing... & its only 5 minutes long... & I got SICK!!!  I get such motion sickness - I'm hoping that I can survive the motion of 3D & just feel like I'm IN the movie....

I have been so tempted to wear my Belle Gold Gown to the theater.  I think it would embarass my nieces more then Ricky though... so maybe not.... that's OK. I have tons of Beauty & the Beast, Belle, Beast t-shirts/sweat shirts so I'll still represent the crazed fan.

Update on how I'm feeling:  Well, my hands are still tingly... the right arm & shoulder down to my hands feel like it is asleep... the bottoms of my feet keep going numb & burning.... I keep getting "waves" of the steroid kicking in.  I'll feel my head get fuzzy feeling & then its like a disconnect feeling & then a roid rage.  So yeah... I'm still pretty miserable.  Add in the shoulder problems that are still the same... My body waited until that magical of 40 to fall apart, didnt it?  I do have an appointment with a neurologist but the earliest they can get me in?  5 weeks... I guess I should be happy with that.  I've heard of worse.

Thanks for the prayers & encouragement... keep those prayers lifted for me.... I need it - I'm a whiney person when I'm not feeling good.

This past weekend, guess what happened... Our youngest grandbaby had a birthday!  He turned 2!!!! TWO!!!! Wow... I can remember Julie telling us she was pregnant with that 2nd one... & now he's 2.  Amazing!  I have to say - we didnt think there could be anything cuter then Isaac... & then Luke was born... & mercy me!  That boy's smile just makes me happy.  He's the cutest little dude ever!!!  Tied with his brother... of course.

Got in the mail from Netflix yesterday, "Soul Surfer" & "Bridesmaids"... I'm not sure which one to watch first... I have a feeling I'll be laughing super hard at one, while crying my eyes out in the other. 

******

I have to say, I'm excited about Ricky Gervais hosting the Golden Globes this weekend.  I thought he was hilarious the first time he did it.  Thought it was so funny how sensitive these people are that make MILLIONS of dollars for the work they do.  When he got so much flack & then 'banned' from the show, I thought it was ridiculous.  So I think its even funnier that they've asked him back, knowing he's going to be even harder on the people.  I love that he even admits, "This is a room full of the most privileged people in the world & they cant take a joke"... go get 'em Ricky!  The star that can handle the jokes the best - those are the people I applaud!

******
I am so in love with my Kindle... but am going crazy because I cant find a cover for it.  Every store has been sold out of them since Christmas... HELLO!!! Christmas was how many weeks ago?  I cant believe stores arent stocked back up on them.  I have been putting off ordering one off of Amazon because I like to touch & feel the cover myself... but I'm getting desperate.

******
Tell me I'm not the only one that things this is true....

SPAT OF THE WEEK:  ....crickets...chirp... chirp...
.....
.....
I have to say, I cant honestly think of anything we've spatted about. What is wrong with THIS picture?  I said it earlier this week - I've got to give it to Ricky - he's been so good at taking care of me while I havent felt good lately.  He hasnt even complained about all the vegan meals I've been cooking... or laundry not being done... or having to feed the dogs...
.... believe me people, this will probably change soon... so take this moment in today & sit in silence & appreciate it... because I do :) 

*****
Hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday .... & get out there & see Beauty & the Beast!  Know I'm sitting in a theater, singing along... out loud... with the movie myself :)

  1. I think I have B & the B in my basement on video tape. I might just watch it with Brad this weekend, he's never seen it!

  2. My girls got free passes to see it last week. My oldest hates 3-d but loves Beauty and the Beast and said this was good. So hope you enjoy!

  3. I admit, Beauty and the Beast was may favorite from that series of Disney movies.

  4. For a Kindle cover, try Best Buy. I noticed them there two weeks ago at our location. Perhaps you'll luck out and see one there! :)

    I have to say, though, I am probably the only person in America who did NOT like the movie Bridesmaids. I had to shut it off because I was so grossed out by one scene. When you watch it, you'll know. Blech.

    Keeping you in my thoughts as you start to get better! :)

  5. I saw both those movies fairly recently. Bridesmaids is funny but some of it was a little raunchy. Soul Surfer was very inspirational. It didn't leave me in constant tears but it was very moving.

    I finally ordered myself a Kindle and a cover. I can't wait to get it!

    Happy Friday!

  6. No spat? Do you think that Ricky made a New Year's Resolution? He's probably just waiting until you feel better - considerate of him!

  7. I seriously need to get myself a Kindle! SO happy to know that you're beginning to feel a little better. Been praying for ya! I have not seen either one of those movies yet. The one we'll be watching this weekend is "Water for Elephants"...hope it doesn't disappoint. Enjoy your weekend, Rebecca!

  8. Re. the pics. The bat is scary but so is the popping of the crescent roll tube. My husband thought I was strange that it freaks me out. I'm relieved to know I'm not alone in this.

    I certainly hope they find the cause of all these health problems at your appt in 5 weeks. I hate waiting and wondering/worrying.

    One day at a time and one prayer at a time is all I can say.

    I love how you saw a deer in my landscape photo. I see it now too. The shape of the bull's head is what stood out most to me.

  9. Ya, me too....I think it's a hoot to have him asked back after all the hoopla and 'banning'.

  10. Two years? Oh my, how time flies!!

    I'm sorry you're still not feeling well. Sure wish you could into the specialist earlier. Hugs and prayers to you!

  11. I'd love to be able to go see Beauty and the Beast in the theater, maybe I'll get a chance, but I'm not sure!

  12. I found a leather cover for my Kindle at OfficeMax the day after Christmas. Hope you can get one soon! They do come in different sizes though so be sure you get the one that is the right size. My husband first had bought me the bigger one so we had to exchange it.

  13. I'm glad to know you're being cared for. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Hopefully, Beauty and the Beast will take the edge off!

    Looks like your grandson made a haul. What a little cutie.

    Watching the Golden Globes as we speak! :)

    Have a great week!
