life goes on

FOR ME, LIFE GOES ON....IT'S KIND OF A LAZY SORT OF DAY....IT SNOWED TODAY, BUT THE SUN SHINED BRIGHTLY AFTERWARDS, AND EVERYTHING MELTED.  HOWEVER, IT IS JUST TOO COLD FOR ME TO EVEN VENTURE OUT OF THE HOUSE....I TOLD JIMMY, 'I WILL NOT GO OUT OF THE HOUSE UNTIL THE SPRING.".....AT LEAST NOT UNTIL MARCH.......I DON'T LIKE THE COLD AND SNOW, AND THERE ARE NO 2 WAYS ABOUT IT...THAT IS WHY I MOVED TO A WARM CLIMATE STATE.... ONLY TO MARRY A MAN WHO BROUGHT ME RIGHT BACK TO THE SNOW!......FUNNY THING, EVERY WINTER, FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS OF LIVING HERE, I GO THROUGH THIS......I REFUSE TO CHANGE UNTIL I CAN GET BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST DESERT................AND SO, BEING A STUBBORN PERSON, I WILL STAY INSIDE UNTIL THE SPRING, AND I WILL SURVIVE...WITH MY PETS, WITH THE WARM HEAT ON, DRINKING CUPS OF TEA, AND COCOA, AND WEARING MY COZY SWEATER..........I MADE SURE I STOCKED THE HOUSE WITH LOTS OF GROCERIES LAST WEEK....AND OF COURSE PET FOOD.....10 LB. BAGS OF DRY CAT FOOD....DOG FOOD AND AND AROUND 80 CANS OF CAT FOOD........ONE THING I KNOW, MY PETS JUST LOVE TO EAT!

JIMMY CALLED ME TWICE TODAY....LIFE MOVES SLOW FOR HIM, AS IT DOES FOR ME....HIS JOB STILL HASN'T STARTED.........THERE ARE SEVERAL GUYS WHOSE JOBS HAVEN'T STARTED YET EITHER.  EVERYONE IS BECOMING FRUSTRATED.  WHAT CAN WE ALL DO?  NOTHING.  IT IS CALLED BEING "HELPLESS," AND PART OF THE SYSTEM.  SO, WE PATIENTLY WAIT.  WE PUT OUR HOPES ON OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, APRIL 29, THAT JIMMY WILL BE HOME ON A WEEK-END FURLOUGH, AND WE CAN CELEBRATE OUR ANNIVERSAY TOGETHER.

JIMMY AND I TALK ABOUT MOVIES I WATCH AT HOME...IN THE EVENING I LIKE TO TRY AND WATCH A FEW MOVIES AT NIGHT...WE HAVE DIGITAL CABLE, SO WE HAVE ALL THE CABLE STATIONS  (there is a total of over 700 stations now on digital)...I KEEP A LIST OF THE MOVIES I SEE, AND TELL HIM ABOUT THEM.  SOME OF MY RECENT FAVORITE ONES ARE. "IN THE CUT." (i've seen it about 12 times!)...IT'S ABOUT A SCHOOLTEACHER AND HER RELATIONSHIP WITH A DETECTIVE, AS HE SEARCHES FOR A SERIAL KILLER.  ANOTHER FAVORITE MOVIE OF MINE IS, "SECRETARY." (watched it about 5 times...IT'S ABOUT A SUBMISSIVE SECRETARY AND HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER BOSS..........................JIMMY HAS TOLD THE GUYS IN THE HALF-WAY HOUSE ABOUT THESE 2 MOVIES, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT IF SOMEONEHAS RENTED IT, OTHERWISE THEY WILL BE RENTING THEM IN A FEW WEEKS.......THE GUYS SEEM TO ESPECIALLY LIKE "IN THE CUT, ' AND MEG RYAN STARS IN IT...IN THIS MOVIE, MEG RYAN DOES NOT PLAY HER USUAL GOOD-GIRL ROLE.....TRY AND SEE IT IF YOU GET A CHANCE!.........

HAS ANYONE BEEN WATCHING "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES?"...I LIKE IT...IT'S SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT......I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON "HOUSE ARREST,"  AND HIS WIFE SAT ON THE CURB, IN FRONT OF HIM EATING "HIS" BUCKET OF FRIED CHICKEN....HE WAS JUST DYING FOR THAT CHICKEN....EVERY TIME HE STEPPED NEAR TO THE CURB, THE ELECTRONIC BUZZER WENT OFF.......THAT WIFE WAS BEING SO MEAN TO HER HUSBAND1....POOR GUY!

WHEN JIMMY WAS HOME, HE'D TAKE ME TO THE MOVIES ALL THE TIME....WE SAW JUST ABOUT EVERY NEW AND LATEST MOVIE AT THE TIME......MY HUSBAND IS ONE TO BE THERE ON OPENING NGHTS, TOO.............HE IS A BIG FAN OF STARWARS, HARRY POTTER, SPIDERMAN..........GOT TO RUN....JIMMY JUST CALLED ME ON MY CELL, WHICH IS RUNNING LOW, AND HE'LL CALL ME IN 5 MINUTES ON THE HOUSE PHONE................FRAN
