Mindless Monday

Good Monday morning!

Welcome to Birthday Central! I've posted MamMa's birthday pics today, and I'll post Austin's party pics tomorrow. There were just too, too many for one day.

Enjoy the lack of wordiness in today's post. It only happens once a week!

RANDOMNESS #1 - I saw a news article entitled "Tips for Safe Travels for 50 Year-Olds and Older." I've said it before... I'm okay with being 50 in August, but I had no idea it would automatically mean I would be unable to travel safely (without special tips, of course). All I'm asking for as a gift for my birthday is a taser. I'm pretty sure that's the only "tip" I need.

RANDOMNESS #2 - I would love to host an Oscar party one day. I've seen so many great "theme" ideas for food and decorations to go along with your favorite Oscar movie. However, I RARELY see any of the nominated films. Most of them are "thinking" films, or "artsy" films, or "rated-R" films, or "non-animated" films... none of which are on my list of "must see" movies.

NOTE - I did branch out this year. I saw not one, BUT TWO, documentaries. Remember? I told you all about Babies. I loved that movie. Well... parts of it. And then I took Roxie to see the Justin Bieber, Never Say Never documentary. (YES! It was a documentary! Very educational!)

I guess I could have had a Toy Story 3 Oscar Party. That's right up my alley... but for some reason, I didn't realize it was nominated until last night! Oh, and I do plan on seeing True Grit. I didn't want to before because I'm a John Wayne fan, and I was afraid Jeff Bridges wouldn't do a good job playing Rooster Cogburn. However, Mikie and the boys assure me he was wonderful, and I would love it.

Maybe next year!

Have a safe Monday. Things are going to be a little stormy around here this afternoon, I think. Tuesday's recipe is ready and waiting to be posted first thing tomorrow morning. I hope you'll add it to your recipe collection!

Take care, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting Belinda
