The Misplaced Bunny
A bunny LK wanted to buy but misplaced in the store. She cried and cried. After we went to the car, I returned and with luck and perseverance, found it.

Smiley as "Simon"
The review of the Stations of the Cross? Hmm, not good I'm afraid.
Smiley did well, carrying off the pivotal role of Simon with skill and emotional weight, but the rest of the cast was lackluster and divorced from the events they portrayed. Apparently Jesus falls only once, and then merely stumbles from that point on, and Mary didn't seem to care one bit about her son dying in front of her.
The costumes were good, and Smiley's photo is on the cover of the program, but beyond that I'd grade the whole thing a D-.
They ought to be grateful they are only 2nd graders, or it'd be a flat F ;)
Oh my darling boy...the star of the show no not just one star but ***** many stars xxx -Sybil Wilson
The Circle of Life
On the 19th, my husband's birthday
Between 2-4am a close friends grandma died, and another couple I know had a beautiful baby boy. Life, death...a big ol mysterious circle - Lisa -
The Awakening
Last night we watched "The Awakening" a moody British ghost story starring Rebecca West that's set in the years after WWI. I enjoyed it very much, and I easily grade it an A.

Poor Taste IMO
I love The Amazing Race, and I was interested to watch this past week's leg in Hanoi, but I was annoyed that one of the stops was at the B52 Memorial, literally the sight of a downed US B52 that lies where it fell. They won, I get it, and they can do what they want; but it's poor taste for a CBS show to use a sign of American defeat and (possibly) death for a relay point on a game show.
Oopsie
In Lisa's absence I decided to move a large 5 shelf bookcase upstairs myself. Unfortunately I lost control of it at one point in the move and it crashed to the ground - missing our aquarium by all of four inches. I think I've just about used up all my luck for Age 38 - good thing my birthday is tomorrow
