We don't need no stinking patches!

SO what's a girl to do during the down slope of a deployment....get a new hobby. That's right, I've decided to make a quilt. I told sweets about it and he immediately called dibs on it. I'm planning on it being at least a full size. I've went out and got a lot of the fabric....here's the majority of what I've chosen. 

      

I'm hoping that it turns out really well. I've only sewn a few times and it was nothing big. Mostly things like sewing holes in pants and making a pin cushion once. Haha, oh this should be interesting! Did I mention I'm making it by hand? We have a sewing machine somewhere but I'm not searching for it. 

Today I got a phone call from sweets, he's still in Kuwait.

I know this is going to sound random but I love Kathy Griffin. She's so open and tells it like it is. I know some people really can't stand her because of her now infamous Emmy speech but I love her! I'm sorry, but anyone who gets up in front of millions of people on television and has the balls to say "Jesus Can Suck It", then wow! They're hardcore. The reason I'm mentioning her is because she's back for another season of Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D List. It's pretty entertaining and hilarious!

Check it out...she has no shame.

To Skype or Not To Skype

Let's start with a definition for those who may not know what Skype is. 

Skype is basically a free internet telephone and video service. All you have to do is download the free program, add your contacts and bam you can video chat with them. 

Now why am I talking about this program? If you're dating, engaged, married or closely acquainted with someone in the military and is serving in Iraq, A-Stan or some other godforsaken place then more than likely you've tried to use this program. Basically, it's good for anyone who wants to see someone that's not within driving distance. It's a free way to actually get to see your loved one. 

I love this program. I've grown to love it a lot. I don't know who started it but they are genius. 

Theater Thursday on a Wednesday?!?

That's right folks it's Theater Thursday....oh wait...no it's only Wednesday! Right now, I bet your asking yourself, "Why is she posting Theater Thursday when it's only Wednesday?"

The Answer: Because I have interesting news to post about tomorrow and I'm not big on posting more than once a day. Soooooo...that leads us to: Theater Thursday! 

This week we'll be looking at Ghostbusters! This week happens to mark it's 25th Anniversary. Plus with the upcoming 3rd installment (Bill Murray was the last hold out & he just signed on. yay), I thought I would feature it. I really love this movie. I can remember watching it when I was a kid and wanting to be a Ghostbuster. I never looked at the Stay Puft marshmellow man the same way......

My favorite line from the movie has got to be when Ray (Akryod) says, "He's an ugly looking spud isn't he!" To Venkman (Murray) when talking about the green slimy ghost.

If you haven't seen this movie then you are truly missing out on a piece of American cinema. This movie also has that summer vibe feel to it. Also I love the small part Annie Potts has in it. I loved her when she was on Designing Women (which happens to have season 1 on dvd).
