thoughts for Monday...

WELL, I GOT UP TODAY, AND AS USUAL, PUT ON MY COFFEE MAKER, FOR THAT DELICIOUS CUP OF COFFEE, FIRST THING, UPON ARISING......THEN, WHAT I LIKE TO EAT IN THE MORNING, OR IS IT 12 NOON, IS EGG WHITES IN A PAN I SPRAY WITH MAZOLA SPRAY.  HOWVER, TODAY I FRIED SOME ONIONS AND GREEN PEPPER , IN OLIVE OIL, AND MADE AN OMELOT WITH SHREDDED CHEESE AND A PINCH OF TUMERIC......IT WAS VERY YUMMY......LATER, FOR DINNER, I WILL MAKE CHICKEN CURRY, IN MY WOK, WITH ALL REAL SPICES, (NOT THE STORE-BROUGHT CURRY POWDER)...I MAKE MY OWN CURRY, AND USE PLENTY OF FRESH GARLIC AND GINGER...........THEN, I'LL ALSO HAVE BROWN RICE, AND SALAD.........ALSO, IN THE CURRY, I'LL PUT A FEW FRESH VEGTABLES, AS I'M REALLY BIG ON FRESH VEGETABLES.......

LAST NIGHT I SAW A FANTASTIC MOVIE ON TV, AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR EVERYBODY...IT WAS IN 2 PARTS, AND IS CURRENTLY ON HBO, BUT I WATCHED IT ON "ON-DEMAND."

THE MOVIE WAS "QUEEN ELIZABETH I.".....IT WAS GREAT!  NOT ONLY WAS IT HISTORICAL AND EDUCATIONAL, BUT IT WAS THE GREATEST LOVE STORY.............QUEEN ELIZABETH I, WAS THE DAUGHTER OF KING HENRY.  SHE RULED THE MONARCH FOR, I BELIEVE 60 YEARS........SHE WAS A POWERFUL, AND STRONG WOMAN.  THE MOVIE SHOWED THE POLITICS INVOLVED AT THAT TIME, BUT IT ALSO SHOWED THE QUEEN, AND HER ROMANCES WITH SEVERAL MEN...........SHE WAS NEVER MARRIED, AND NEVER BORE A CHILD, WHICH SHE NEEDED, TO INHERIT THE THRONE.

SHE HAD HER SISTER, MARY QUEEN OF SCOTTS BEHEADED.  SHE ALSO HAD ONE OF HER LOVER'S BEHEADED.

WHEN JIMMY CALLED ME, FIRST THING THIS MORNING, I TOLD HIM ABOUT THE MOVIE, AND HOW GREAT IT IS.  HE SAID HE READ ABOUT IT IN THE NEWSPAPER, THAT IT IS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE.  THEN HE STARTED TELLING ME THE WHOLE HISTORY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE........HE GAVE ME NAMES AND DATES....ALL THE STUFF I STUDIED IN HIGH SCHOOL, A LONG TIME AGO, BUT FORGOT...............JIMMY HAS SOME BRAIN!....HE FORGETS NOTHING, HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES HISTORY, AND CAN RECITE DATES AND THINGS, THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO......MY HUSBAND ALWAYS IMPRESSES ME!  HE TALKS ABOUT HISTORY, AS IF HE WAS THERE, OBSERVING IT IN PERSON.....I JUST LOVE THAT....HE MAKES HISTORY COME ALIVE FOR ME, AND I FIND THAT EXCITING!

SO, FOR ALL YOU WOMEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD ROMANTIC LOVE STORY, TRY WATCHING THIS MOVIE...YOU WOULDN'T REGRET IT!.................WHAT AMAZED ME, WAS HOW THIS MOST POWERFUL WOMAN, HAD SO MANY DIFFERENT MEN, AND SOME VERY MUCH YOUNGER THAN HER...LET'S SAY AROUND 40 YEARS YOUNGER..........AMAZING, I MUST SAY.  IN OUR CULTURE TODAY, MANY YOUNG MEN ARE ATTRACTED TO OLDER WOMAN, AND THROUGH THIS MOVIE, WE CAN SEE IT WAS HAPPENING  EVEN WAY BACK THEN, IN THE 1500'S......

WELL, IT'S A NICE DAY, SO I'LL GO OUTSIDE ON THE PATIO WITH PRINCE FOR A WHILE!............FRAN
