The Year of the Cards

Without even knowing it, an idea turned into a goal. Every year I send out Christmas cards. This past year was no different. I always like making out cards and I think getting real mail is always something fun! I mean really, who likes getting bills in the mail? No one.

So when Valentine's Day rolled around, I decided to keep the cards going. I pulled out my list of addresses that I used at Christmas time and sent out a stack of Valentines to everyone. I even hand made the cards.

Then St. Patrick's Day popped up and I saw some really cute cards in a store and decided to buy them to send out. I got out my trusty list and addressed them and sent them off on their way. At this point, I figured either my recipients were either getting really annoyed with all the mail I was sending them or it was putting a smile on their faces. I got a few messages from friends telling me that they really liked them so I decided to continue with the card tradition...

That's when Easter came up on the calendar. Thanks to Hobby Lobby I found just enough sets of cards to be able to send out Happy Easter notes. Once Easter was over, I started looking at the calendar and realized that there really isn't anything until Memorial Day and can you even send a card for that?

So if you are of the people that receives cards from me, have no fear... I'm sure you'll see another one in your mailbox soon! Not getting cards from me and want one? Shoot me your name and address and consider yourself on the list! I mean really, who doesn't get excited about real mail that isn't a bill?!

Theater Thursday

It's Thursday and that can only mean one thing around here... it's Theater Thursday! Since the beginning of this blog, I have always had Theater Thursday and featured a movie that is currently available on dvd or available to watch online. If you love a movie and want people to know about it, grab the button and join in! 


This week's featured movie is, Erin Brockovich.
Julia Roberts stars as Erin Brockovich. Erin is a single mothers of three young kids who after a car crash is strapped for cash. Desperately needing a job she stalks out the lawyer who made sure she got nothing during her car accident trial. After approaching him, Ed (Albert Finney) gives her a job. 

Trying to find work to do inside his legal office, she begins to investigate a case involving the water contamination by a huge company, Pacific Gas & Electric. Erin gets emotionally invested after meeting with several families who have been poisoned because of PG&E and their practices about dumping their chemicals. 

Erin and Ed go up against the huge corporation and take on several hundred clients to get what's right and fair. This is based on a true story and Julia Roberts earned an Oscar for her performance.

Welcome to Camp TV

Have you been watching this show? 
Horribly bad but sooooo good! Her accent is terrible, she gives massage therapists a really bad reputation and for that matter paid ladies of the night. However, it's so entertaining! 


My bff Erica and I text during the show and make fun of it as it's happening. It's that good people. Seriously tune in! I don't want this to get cancelled. I keep hearing there's a movie but I can't seem to catch it when it's playing.
