Things I miss eating....

Im in love with a dead guy.

One of my favorite things to do is to watch old movie (yes even black and whites). I love most of them. Give me a movie with either Cary Grant, Clark Gable, John Wayne, Gene Kelly, June Allyson, Maureen O'Hara or Doris Day (my list could go on and on) and Im all set. BUT my favorite man for the moment and I dont know if it will change is ......(drum roll please).....

VAN JOHNSON

Feel Free to check out some of his movies. I am sad to say dont own any of his movies myself but I thank my lucky stars for TCM! I am actually in the process of ordering Two girls and a Sailor which also stars June Allyson and Gloria DeHaven. That is one of my FAVORITES!!! He basically plays the boy next door and has an adorable smile. He also sings and plays the piano.

"Two Girls and a Sailor"

I would recomend to anyone wanting to watch a sweet love story to check out some of his movies. But beware old movies arent always so sweet and inocent.

Van Johnson movies I have seen:
The Bride Goes Wild (1948)
In the Good Old Summertime (1949)
Brigadoon (1954)
Miracle in the Rain (1956)
Yours, Mine and Ours (1968)
Miracle in the Rain (1956)

I hope to see more. I could have actually written this about many of the men of OLD HOLLYWOOD. I think they all had much, much more talent. So this is my salute to one of the great men of old movies.

Lemons...

We all know the old Proverb "When Life Gives you Lemons, Make Lemonade." My thought is....What if I dont want to make lemonade?

Well, here is a few more answers to the Question: "When life gives you lemons..."

Just shut up & eat the damn lemons.

Sell them on ebay

Hit them back at life with a tennis racket/bat/etc.

Make Sweet Lemonade!

Squirt them people's eyes

Donate them to the poor

Throw them at mean people in the street and hope it gets them in the eyes.

Make lemonade, find someone whose life gives them vodka, and have a party.

Ask life where he gets all these lemons

Make apple juice to confuse people...

Make grape juice, then sit back and let them wonder how you did it.

When life gives you lemons when no one is looking, throw them through life’s window and run away.

When life gives you lemons, find a kid with a paper cut

When life gives you lemons, ask for the receipt

I really do need this...

A friend told me about this shirt she saw today. Im pretty sure it was made for me.

Its a witch!

A few weeks ago while I was at Frys Markplace looking at pumpkins I got a great idea. So with a hat, spray paint and some permanent markers here's what I made.

yummm...

This is what I did with part of my day off. Its really good!

Cranberry Pumpkin Bread

* Pour into two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).

***I didnt toast the pecans and I used mini loaf pans.

going short...maybe?

So I have been wanting to cut my hair but I'm not sure how short I want to go. The thing is I need 10 inches to donate to locks of love. In order for me to donate I would need to go shorter (like around chin or a bit longer) So I need help deciding. Let me know which pic you like the best for me. This is what my hair look like basically now but dark brown. Also Im not afraid to go short...Ive done it before.
