My Prized Possession

To most, this is just a piece of junk. Anyone looking through my utensil drawer would think I should have tossed it long ago.  Afterall, it's no longer functional. It just takes up space!  In my eyes it is beautiful. All of its imperfections are part of its story. Part of MY story. In 1984 I was moving into my very first apartment.  I was about to have my own kitchen.  I had nothing to put in it of course except for a set of dishes I purchased at a yard sale and some glasses Id collected from work lol. My mother took me to the store and bought me a set of pots & pans.  She also reached into her own utensil drawer and took out this very spatula.  It was one of her older ones.  Its handle already had several battle wounds from being against the side of a skillet a little too long as she used it to prepare meals for my dad and me. Over the years I have used it to prepare meals for my own family.  My children used it as they learned to cook.   I

A creepy Jack-In-The-Box and A New Pair of Shoes. What More Could A Girl Want?

Good morning everyone! Its 3:40am Alaska time and +9 degrees. I'm halfway through my first latte and am currently looking for the next marathon. Any suggestions?  Did ya miss me yesterday?? I woke up and started working up promos and next thing ya know, my day was gone lol. Oh, I did a couple loads of laundry, dishes, cooked dinner & all that mundane stuff in between, but still, it flew by. Next thing ya know, its evening. I'm a morning blogger, for the most part. So I just didn't do it lol. The last couple of days I've been marathoning a miniseries I found on Amazon Prime called Mad Dogs . It's like a dark comedy/thriller/action kinda thing all rolled up into one burrito. Its got action. Its got comedy, its got a teeny tiny bit of romance. Not something Id let the kids watch. There were a couple of times people got shot in the head close range, just an FYI. The Synopsis: When a group of underachieving 40-something friends gather in Belize to celebr

Stars In Her Eyes

Good morning everyone! Its 2:18am Alaska time and +17 degrees. It's friggin' snowing again. they are talking 12-17 inches. Let's hope they are wrong! Yesterday I ended up marathoning a show I found on Amazon Prime called Britannia . Have you watched it? If you haven't, you need to. It's fan-friggin-Tastic! Synopsis:  Loosely based on historical events, "Britannia" is set in A.D. 43, when the Romans invaded Britain led by General Aulus Plautius, who is determined to succeed where Julius Caesar failed and conquer this mythical land on the very end of the Roman Empire. Kerra, daughter of the King of the Cantii, is forced to put her differences with archrival Queen Antedia aside in order to unite the tribes and supposedly magical Druids and face their invaders. But General Aulus carries a secret that threatens to undermine the entire mission. The first season aired this past January 2018. I'm waiting with baited breath for season 2! Ok, time to

Good morning everyone! Its 6:22am Alaska time and -7 degrees. When the snow stops, the temp drops lol. Its gonna be a curl up under the blankets an watch movies kinda day I think. It's either that or bake something lmao Speaking of watching movies, I'm marathoning a show called  Lore Have you seen it? Not a good show for the little ones. No gore or foul language, but it does insinuate violence. Synopsys: Writer Aaron Mahnke launched his podcast "Lore" in 2015 and it has gained critical acclaim in the time since, including earning Best of 2015 honors from iTunes. The audio program is now becoming a TV series as an anthology that, like the podcast, uncovers real-life events that spawned people's darkest nightmares. Taking advantage of its ability to showcase visuals, the series blends animation in with the storytelling and narration. "Lore" has a strong horror pedigree, with some of its executive producers coming from other horror fare, including

Good morning everyone! Its 5:32am Alaska time and +16 degrees. We got plowed out last night, and now it's snowing again Good thing I filled up the car and everything yesterday lmao When I was a child, I used to LOVE the  Peter Rabbit books. He was always so mischevious and full of adventure! Yesterday, I found out that he still is lol I made the trek into town to see him at the theater. I loved it :D I hadn't laughed that much in a long time. Its family friendly, so take the whole gang. The kids will love it too! Synopsis: Peter Rabbit, his three sisters, and their cousin enjoy spending their days in Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden. When one of McGregor's relatives suddenly moves in, he's less than thrilled to discover a family of rabbits in his new home. A battle of wills soon breaks out as the new owner hatches scheme after scheme to get rid of Peter -- a resourceful rabbit who proves to be a worthy and wily opponent. Ok, I really need my second c

Good morning everyone! Its 5:48am Alaska time and +3 degrees. We got 6-8 inches of snow yesterday. Now I have to dig my jeep out so I can go to town lol Last night I watched  The Martian starring Matt Damon. Have you seen it yet? It was riveting! It came out in 2015.

Good morning everyone! Its 4:11am Alaska time and +19 degrees. I'm one latte down and ready for number 2. Last night I was channel surfing and ran across a show called  The Resident on fox. Have you seen it? I rather enjoyed it. It centers on an idealistic young doctor and prior military medic (Matt Czuchry) who begins his first day under the supervision of a tough, brilliant senior resident who pulls the curtain back on all of the good and evil in modern-day medicine. It dealt with real issues, like dreamers and how they are treated (or not) in our medical system. I touched on the staff being forced to learn how to jack up the cost & make the hospital more money. In a nutshell, it exposes the seedy side of medicine. You should check it out. I've got more promos to do, and I'm working on a new character on the side lol. Busy, busy, busy! I need my second cuppa now lol. Before I go, I want to share a promo I did a while back Featuring the  Tora Outfit by prae

I didn't go.I assumed it would be crowded and I just couldn't "people" yesterday lol. He gave it rave reviews, so if they put it on the matinee at some point, I will definitely go lol. Synopsis: After the death of his father, T'Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king -- and as Black Panther -- gets tested when he's drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.

Yesterday, I ran across Maze Runner on DTV streaming. Watched it, liked it. After, I did a little digging and found there was a sequel on Amazon. Watched it, liked it. There is a third currently playing at the theater. Can you guess where I'm going this weekend? lol Synopsys: The Maze Runner Thomas (Dylan O'Brien), a teenager, arrives in a glade at the center of a giant labyrinth. Like the other youths dumped there before him, he has no memory of his previous life. Thomas quickly becomes part of the group and soon after demonstrates a unique perspective that scores him a promotion to Runner status -- those who patrol the always-changing maze to find an escape route.

I'm so BUMMED! lol My DTV streaming service wasn't connecting well so  Last night I watched  The Frozen Ground starring Nicholas Cage.

Synopsis: Inspired by the incredible true story that follows Alaskan State Trooper Jack Halcombe (Nicolas Cage) as he sets out to end the murderous rampage of Robert Hansen (John Cusack), a serial killer who has gone unnoticed for 13 year

I've got  The Possession playing on the iPad Nothing gets my blood pressure up better than a good old possession movie lol. Synopsys: Loosely based on a true story, The Possession is the terrifying account of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil. Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Kyra Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the couple fears the presence of a malevolent force in their midst, only to discover that the box was built to contain a dibbuk, a dislocated spirit that inhabits and ultimately devours its human host. Ok, I've gotta get my eyes open and get rende

Soon after, she finds herself intensely drawn toward Anja (Okay Kaya), a beautiful young student who reciprocates Thelma’s powerful attraction.
