What I'm Reading Now

J.R. Ward: Lover At Last: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood

Movies I Recommend

"Death at a Funeral"
Make sure you get the original 2007 British version. So many funny moments, I love swearing in a British accent. Oh and Uncle Alfie on the crapper..."it's touch and go" and "you missed a bit" - Classic
"Barefoot in the Park"
This is so funny, Jane Fonda's Mum and all the stairs is hilarious and when she gets drunk....ya gotta watch it!
"The Butterfly Effect"
Make sure to watch BOTH versions, the theatrical and the director's cut...let me know which one YOU liked best!
"Mr. Holland's Opus"
I love Richard Dreyfuss, since Jaws and this movie is so uplifting and beautiful.
"Serendipity"
I think this is one of my favorite movies of all time...well at least the one with NO vampires in it...ha! I believe in fate...do you?

You Put the Lime in the Coconut and...

...Watch out for the Lamp!!!! Oops!!!

A few emailed me and said what's the story that Jacqui hinted at...so before Jacqui tells her version...here's mine.

One time years ago, and I mean years cause we still lived in Strathroy so that had to be like 80 or 81. Mum bought a coconut, and I can't even remember if Mum was there when this happened or if she was at work...seems we were always getting into trouble when Mum was at work... We wanted some coconut and I think we tried different ways to open it, but then I got out the hammer (Jacqui has a better memory and can fix anything that I have wrong...perhaps on her blog when she realizes the story is over here). So I hung onto the coconut and raised the hammer to crack open the coconut but instead I smashed the heck out of the lamp above the table, glass went everywhere, and scared the crap out of me I do remember that...oh and did I mention we were renting?...the house, NOT the coconut... Hmmmm...see that is not that exciting now that I told it...hmm...I'll have to do better next time. There was the time we got lost in the corn field, or we got stuck in Andy and Marion's garden in our rubber boots, or when I was throwing onions at Jacqui and the dog bit my butt....good times, I tell ya, good times!

So how about a fun scrapbook page, I did this one for my displays at Leadership, the beautiul little girl is Tatum, she is the daughter of a girlfriend of mine...thanks Karen for letting me post these.

Stamp Set: Friends 24-7

Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Bella Birds DSP, Pink Pirouette

Misc: Paper Piercer, Black Marker

I love these pictures with Tatum and the Lassie dog, I know the name is not Lassie, but to me those dogs will always be Lassie...what's that Lassie? you found some lime in your coconut...egads!!!

I hope you enjoyed the cheesy story and the pretty page.

Oh and so I read the lyrics to that Lime and the Coconut song...I think they put more then lime in their coconut when they was writing that little ditty...I guess someone needs to make me understand what the heck it is about...

Have a great Tuesday, and thanks for stopping in!

Hugs, Di
