Alabama Theater Date

Good Thursday morning!

The Gallery Pic is of a can of rutabagas. Tomorrow's Gallery Pic will quite possibly the contents of the can of rutabagas emptied into a bowl. My friend, Joan, has frightened me a little about the smell which will permeate my home if I try to cook the rutabagas. And since my house has it's own odd smells here and there, I'm not sure if I want to add another one to the mix. It's a conundrum, I tell you. I guess you'll know the rest of the story tomorrow.

NOTE TO "SLOAN" - To the Slightly-Bitter-and-Obviously-Not-Speaking-to-The-Enchanting-Belinda "Sloan." Hey, Girl! Call me sometime!

REMINDER! REMINDER! REMINDER! - It's that time of year again when you start thinking about the Argo Drive-In. If you want to keep up with the movies they are showing, call 467-3434 on Monday afternoons for that week's schedule. Unless something has changed, they are showing Iron Man 2 AND How to Train Your Dragon this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Iron Man 2 starts at 8:00 and How to Train Your Dragon starts around 10:00 so it would be a late night, but you cannot beat the prices. Sometimes it is $5 a car, but for this double feature it is $5 per adult and $2 per child. It's still a deal, no matter how you look at it! (ALWAYS call before you head out to make sure nothing has changed!)

Blog Linkage - These blogs come up a lot on this segment, but they're my favorites, so I assume they are your favorites, too.

1. Click on Big Mama under My Blog List. You'll have to go to the bottom of the page and click on Previous Posts until you come to one entitled Of Mice and Men dated May 11. If you've ever had a mouse in your house, you can certainly feel her pain... plus, it will make you laugh and laugh.

2. Next, if you have ever been to Universal Studios in Orlando (or you want to go), click on Confessions of a Pioneer Woman under My Blog List and read the last four or five posts. It's almost like you're at Universal for the first time when your kids were small. It's funny, bright and it takes you back. I love it.

3. Last, go to Sherri's Blog under My Blog List and see the pictures she took during her visit to India. It's hard to imagine a place so very different from where we live, isn't it? Several of the images will stay with you for a while.

Alabama Theater Date

This one is good. I copied all the dates and movies from Birmingham Bargain Mom. If you have 12 children, you can take each one on a date to the Alabama Theater this summer to watch a CLASSIC! You can write it on your calendar in RED INK, and look forward to this very special movie-going experience with your guy or gal!

Have a wonderful Thursday... the best day of the week! I've had a couple of short posts the last two days to give your weary eyes a rest, but tomorrow I'll be sharing Weekend Happenings and Randomness. I've been holding out on you!

Take care, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting and Slightly-Repulsive Smelling Belinda (because of the rutabagas, you see!)

Friday...

Friday...
Finally, some new basketball action shots.

The JV team had two 40-minute games Friday, so I thought I would just go ahead and start filming now!

And here's the obligatory Bryant Tuggle pic. He's a HUGE supporter of our baskeball team. Always has been... always will be. Well, until he gets his own driver's license!

Saturday...

Saturday...
We spent the day with the cousins Saturday. Monica, Amy, Roxie and I shopped at Brookwood, ate at Yolo's and went to the movies (Pirates 4). It was a great day, but the best part was our celebrity sighting...

That's right! Will Ferrell! (Please feel free to use your imagination. I know we did!)

Sunday...

Sunday...
Mikie's 50th Family Birthday Celebration! Everyone knows 50 year-old men LOVE the Green Lantern...and their wives really like Ryan Reynolds! (How cool would it be to have your picture on a birthday party plate package? Another goal, perhaps?)

What do you give a 50 year-old guys for his birthday? Cards... filled with money, Ricky Skaggs' concert tickets, a True Grit DVD and a Red Devil's Food Cake with Divinity Icing (from his Mom). It was a very good day!

Lovely Melia gave him the True Grit DVD. (I LOVE that movie!)

And it wouldn't be a birthday without a hug from Roxie!
