Happy November

Wow! October went rushing by, like a water skiing squirrel after 2 double espresso's.

Did you remember to turn your clocks back an hour? My Sister forgot to remind me, like she did this Spring when we turned them forward. That's OK, because Yahoo homepage told me so, it's all good.

I was just browsing Anthropologie as I am want to do on occasion and I spied this:

$4,800.00

Now, come on, we can make that! Seriously, $4,800 dollars? For flowers cut from soda bottles and plastic creamer containers?

It was enough to make me stop browsing and get up and go do the dishes! (I only enjoy housework when I am upset- it helps me work it off)

We went to see Law Abiding Citizen last night and my sweet Gerard Butler looked great in that one scene when he stripped down buck naked (for plot development? Character enhancement? who knows why it happened, but thanks for that) and it was a sad commentary on our Justice System. It was rough at the beginning and I had to shut my eyes- I can do zombies all day long because I know they aren't real (not yet, anyway) but murder and mayhem is not my cup of tea. It's a guy movie and ya know, I really would rather see Gerard do another romance (with anyone but Hilary Swank- talk about no chemistry).

Oh well, this just makes me want to go for a swim...

Have a great day, and let's start November off right! Go make something artsy/craftsy.

Love and not too many stitches,
