Big and Rich

   Art and I were sitting here watching tv and there was a Chevy Commercial on with Country Group Big and Rich.  I was not a fan of theirs until a few months ago.  In fact I was not too fond of their song Save A Horse Ride a Cowboy.  Now I actually like it.   Speaking of Music I am patiently waiting to see Duran Duran on tv on nbc New Years Celebration with Carson Daily.  I think that will be the highlight of my evening.  Art will be leaving soon to go back to work since he volunteered to work tonight.   Happy New Year to all.

Phantom Of The Opera

I was telling Art that this sounds like a good movie. I have never seen the Broadway version but would like to see it. I have heard the music from it and really liked it. Earlier this year we went to The Mark and saw Sarah Brightman in concert. That is a show I would pay to see again. We even bought her CD before her concert and really liked it. I have never been one for classical music which is what I thought most of her music was.  If you have not listened to her you should try it out.

Van Helsing (2004)

Art and I just finished watching Van Helsing. This was not a bad movie. I am glad that we did not pay to see it in the movie theatre. Art and I went grocery shopping today. He does not always go shopping with me but he does when he can. As we were driving home he commented about how the older folks park their carts in the middle of the shopping aisle and chat. Now he knows my weekly shopping nightmare, 0">and why I am in such a foul mood when I return from the store. Our grocery store is not far from our house, but everyone that lives in East Moline, Silvis, and Colona shops at the same grocery store. The aisles in our store are not very wide in fact they are very narrow so if more than three people are trying to go down the same aisle it becomes chaos. I was talking to my dad earlier today and he was asking me about cooking a pasta recipe. We were chatting when he asks if when I cook pasta do I throw it on the cabinet to test to see if it is done. I told him no I just taste it. Well I guess that I am the only sane person in my family because he and my sister both use that method to test pasta. He said one day when he did that my mom looked at him like he was crazy. He was also laughing pretty hard as he was telling me this story. I told Art that the older my parents get the funnier they get.

Face Off

Art and I just finished watching Face Off. As I have said before Nicolas Cage is one of my favorite actors. So is John Travolta. They both play a bad guy very well. I am not sure who I like better in this movie. I was driving home from work this afternoon down John Deere Rd when traffic was slowing down to 20 mph. It stayed that way for a couple of miles. After awhile it came to a dead stop. I saw that there was an accident near Wal Mart. As I was driving upon the scene of the accident I could see that the car was off the road in the median. There was a policeman directing traffic I could see that he was wanting traffic to get by at more than 2 miles per hour. By the time I got home I was pretty disgusted after having a hairy day at work. Anyway, I am glad it is Friday. We had Pizza from Papa Murphys Pizza.< They have really good take and bake pizzas. They are reasonably priced too.

Last night we had my company Christmas party to attend. We had a good time it was held at the Quad City Botanical Center. When we arrived home just after midnight I opened my birthday present from Art. My parents wished me happy birthday and so did my sister, brother in law and Niece Olivia. Art's mom called soon after we arrived home from going to get ice cream this evening. All in all it has been a nice day. I went to the Salon today for a haircut and perm as a treat to myself. Tomorrow will be grocery shopping day. I received a Christmas greetings from an old friend from high school. I have not heard from her in a few years. It was nice to hear from her. I will keep this short and sweet. More tomorrow. Since it will be a fairly cold and windy day I plan on staying in as much as possible after I do my grocery shopping.
