Boo!

I feel like posting something but then I don't want to do it. The problem I am really having is that I want to write something with breadth to it and the other part of me doesn't want to. I just need to clear the air and start fresh.

I have been watching the Ghost Hunters Marathon all day long. Geez, I am lazy today.

On movies:

I've watched The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Shopgirl, andThe Family Stone this week.

I loved Shopgirl and The Family Stone! Really I could throttle Sarah Jessica Parker's character in The Family Stone, so uptight. It was a family christmas movie. I enjoy sentimental pap! I love holiday movies! So much so that even Surviving Christmas with the mostly horrible Ben Affleck is a favorite on my list.

Shopgirl was perfect. I see no flaws! Um...okay it wasn't perfect. The movie was much better than the book. I do have this problem where I will read a book and it was good and enjoyable but I was just not "into it." Days later I'll think about it and work out whatever it is I need to work out and I will find the better book in the book. I just need to discuss these books or at least think about them when I remain void of an honest opinion afterwards.

On everything else:

I've been getting my affairs in order. Seeking out and questioning medical folks for appointments and how much money they want. Making appointments for a couple weeks from now...ick.

I also get to purchase some contacts and eyeglasses, that work! I guess that will be next week.

On May 23rd, I get to begin watching Brooke all summer long. Logan gets out of school June 9th, and I get to watch him as well. Aren't you jealous? I will make money!!! It will only be a couple hundred bucks but I don't have any at at all. Brooke will get a summer with NO school before kindergarten starts and my brother gets a break from daycare fees. I also will be able to get a car to use. It will be the VW Beetle but that is okay. I am sure I can wrangle the keys out of my Dad's fingers. I want to take the kids on field trips to parks, libraries, etc.

The old road in Virginia, Hwy 17, was closed when they built the four lane road. It ran right along the Intercoastal Waterway canal, in the middle of the Dismal Swamp and was quite dangerous, eg., no room to pull off, two lanes, 55 mph limit, ditches. I did love that road, it was so pretty in the spring and summer. Well, anyway, when the road finally comes out on the other side, out of the thick bear infested woods, it was turned into the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail. With hiking, biking and horse riding paths! This was my first visit to the website and it seems the trail is just where the road was. Hmm...I'll have to check it out with LOTS of insect repellent on and maybe some bear spray.

My increasing thirst and strong desire to watch tv means I must leave.
