What I'm Reading This Week #20

Howdy do punkin' poos?  I hope you had a delightful week of blissful productivity at work (aka hanging on by the frays of your well bitten fingernails whilst saying you need to win the lottery but never actually playing.)   A birthday shout out to my grandma.  You know, even though she would've been 86, and I know the probability is she would be gone now, it still doesn't stop me wondering how long she would've made it if dementia hadn't reared up.  I could really use one of her hugs or her hands cupping my face with that ornery little grin saying I was her first grandbaby.  Happy birthday grandma.  I hope you and mom have a big euchre game going on tonight. We've been slowly integrating back into walking this week as the Mr could handle.  Last night he was able to do two laps without having to stop to stretch so that is good news.  For more news, let's check out: Grip Strength Is A Sneaky Predictor Of Longevity—Here’s How To Improve Yours ...

Hump Day Poll: It's the Best




What is a memorable scene from a movie that you love?

It always gives me butterflies when the cars part in Sixteen Candles and there stands Jake Ryan.

I know, I'm a sucker but it takes me back especially with those first few bars of If You Were Here by The Thompson Twins.

How about you?

    Whenever that first bar of The Star Wars theme kicks in I just can't help but feel like a little kid again.

      Heck, I even teared up when we saw it on that John Williams special last week. Modern day Mozart!

    Planes Trains and Automobiles when Neal is on the train and memories of Del come to mind with the Power to Believe song playing in the background. There has yet to be a time when I have not cried. The loneliness of the holidays in addition to the actual scenes really jumps out at me.

      You know to have a tissue handy while the dogs look at you going "what's her problem?"

    One of my favorite all time movies is Better Off Dead. Pretty much any scene from that one. My high school best friend and I could quote that movie almost verbatim. I love the newspaper boy "TWO DOLLARS" and the scene where Lane's buddy is telling him "go really fast and if something gets in your way, turn".

      When the Mr and I were dating, he would always scream "TWO DOLLARS!" at me and I had no idea what he was talking about until much later! LOL
