SINUS INFECTION...CRAP!

I have a sinus infection; haven't had one in almost a year. I am thankful, nonetheless though, because I use to get one on the regular. Boy! This thing make you feel like you're dying. Went to the doctor...he gave me some antibiotics and other meds and hopefully I'm on the road to recovery. I feel like crap at the moment and have already gone through about 5 or 6 boxes of Kleenex since Sunday.

I don't understand...when I was growing up, you never heard about people suffering from asthma or having allergies or all the other crap people are suffering from today. I was raised (not born) in NC. My backyard, with all its trees and pollen, was my playground. What the heck is going on!? That's a rhetorical question for which I really don't expect an answer. But if you have one - by all means, enlighten me.

I hope someone reads this. I know class is over, but we agreed to keep in touch via our blogs.
Hope all is going well with everyone.
By the way, I saw "PIRATES" since I last made a blog entry and loved it!

Count Down...to Summer

Well, it's countdown time and I'm sure I'm not the only one doing the counting. Today, the kids were "off the meat rack" (as my sister can say), and I don't know how many more days like today we can take. (On a happier note), the grades are in and I hope everyone is pleased with their grade. I know I am quite pleased and proud of my ONE self (HAHAHAHA). I want to take the summer course and hope to be able to do so.

In other news, it looks like the summer is heating up for a blockbuster run movie-wise. I know I'm looking forward to seeing the following films:
Shrek 3
Pirates of the Carribbean
Fantastic 4
Transformer

And a few serious films in between., but not many. When I go to the movies, I go to let my hair down and be entertained. I don't go to be analytical and "deep", although I have walked out on a few movies and for the same token, watched others over and over again.

I love fantasy, action, romance and comedy movies (can you tell). The Lord of the Rings trilogy has left a void yet to be filled. Why did it have to end! WHY!!!! (Hahahaha)

Happy Mother's Day!

SPIDERMAN 3

I also saw SPIDERMAN 3 this weekend. It was good...a lot of gratutious , bloodless, violence but that was to be expected. After all... it is a superhero movie. My husband said the men did too much crying but I thought that depicted realism; I liked the humanity shown in all the characters, especially the villian (Sandman). M J got on my nerves (Spiderman's girlfriend) and the movie was a bit long. But that was not really a problem. I like feeling I got my $$$ worth when I go to the movies. Incidently, saw "NEXT" with Nicolas Cage, last week. In contrast, that movie should have been, at least another half-hour long. What action movie you know is only 90 minutes? Perhaps, they'll do an extended version when the DVD comes out. Anyway, there's talk already about a 4th SPIDERMAN. I'm there!

FIRST JOB...Montclair Historical Society

My landscaper called and told me he was doing a commercial for his business and he wanted me to do him a "favor" and be in the commercial.

FAVOR! Are you kidding me...I'd love to do it!

So I met the photographer in Montclair at the Montclair Historical Society this past weekend. It only took a few minutes to tape my soundbit, but I was excited about the whole thing. Can't wait to see the finished product. I pray this is the start of something big. I actually plan to try my hand at acting this summer. Rhonda, thanx for all your encouragement about this.

Incidently, the Monclair Historical Society is having an herb sale later this week...I think Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am going up there, probably, Thursday on my lunch break. My gardener wants to plant an herb garden in my yard. The deer don't like most herbs because they have too much scent. That works for me. Also, the weather is expected to be lovely this week. That will make shopping for herbs even better. Should be nice. I'm going to put on a sundress and maybe even a straw hat and go for it. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

De La Hoya / Mayweather Fight

Just came in from our neighbors' house - they had a fight party. I wanted De La Hoya to win because I watched a show on HBO about both men and Mayweather just seemed too cocky to me. It's funny how we can derive at opinions and decisions with little or no information to go on. I don't really know that much about either fighter, but based on that one show, I decided I didn't want Mayweather to win...but he did anyway. We still had lots and lots of fun, screaming and yelling and being very zealous about what we felt and who we were rooting for.

Hope to still hear from all of you even though class is over.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a great week!
PEACE
