Holy Toledo Batman Part Deux

Posted by kim 04.10.2008 10:15 am in Digressions, Reflections, Cinemations

Because I couldn’t think of a better title, but I thought of more non-relevant stuff to say…

Here’s wishing my Grandma Betty a belated 84th birthday! We celebrated last night by going to the bar. She can drink me under the table no doubt. I hope to have as much vigor as her at that age.

Her pin says “I’ve survived damn near everything!” seen here with my Aunt Squeak and me.

I highly admire other bloggers that pour themselves out there like Heather B. Armstrong of Dooce.com (who is also full of vigor). I can totally relate to her as I’ve been criticized for expressing my opinion, as the Wall Street Journal addressed, yet readers keep coming back for more. Only difference, I don’t have a husband to manage my advertising - any takers? :)

I absolutely hate how vehicles decrease in value the minute you drive them off the lot. When I bought my Pontiac SV6 new in 2005, I thought it fit all my needs and I would drive it until it died. Well, I thought wrong. Not only do the kids think they are now too old to be seen in a “van”, I’ve had an itch for a new vehicle as well. I’m leaning towards a Crossover with a third row of seats. I’ve been eye’ing the GMC Acadia for awhile now, but I just saw an ad for the 2009 Dodge Journey - I love the back-up camera and built in GPS; the kids liked the built-in pop coolers! One of my friends (who works for Chevy) told me to hold out to see Chevy’s new Traverse which will be replacing the TrailBlazer next year. Why can’t Ford make a good crossover breed? They have the best service department near me (My son’s car is a Ford). And being a woman who knows nothing about cars, I calculate service into my final decision.

And last, but not least, I leave you with this youtube video. My friend, Jon, met a girl online who ended up looking nothing like her photo. She admitted she photo-shopped herself, so when I saw this, I laughed and forwarded it to him asking if this was her?

Movies, Magazines & Mundane Musings

Man, I think these Christmas vacation school breaks keep getting longer and longer. The kids finally went back yesterday, so I can enjoy quietness again.

I’m not much of a movie watcher, probably ‘cuz I never find or make time to do so, but with the kids home, we actually went to the movies (P.S. I Love You) and watched some movies here at home. For Christmas, my son got The Simpsons Movie (I didn’t find it as funny as Patrick bragged it up to be) and Superbad which I found to be Super Bad (I can’t believe Shoemoney loved it). You can even make your own “McLovin” ID where you upload your picture. Ok, that part was funny.

I also found this site where you can upload your picture with fake magazine covers - MagMyPic.com. Check out the ones I made…

Back to the movies topic, my son wanted the movie Jackass 2.5 for his birthday (I won’t be watching that one). I can’t believe he is seventeen already! I wonder how many more years I can get away with telling everyone I’m still 29.

Go Elf Yourself

My daughter has been having fun with Office Max’s “Elf Yourself” website, so I thought I’d make a merry message myself of me and Patrick. His three years in high school swing choir has really paid off. As for me, I’m a natural.

And have you seen this couple’s first wedding dance… too funny… Ellen had them on as guests last week…
