Remember Green Eggs & Ham by Dr. Seuss? Steve Carell is playing The Mayor of Whoville in a new animated film. Its about an elephant who finds a speck on a clover where Whoville is. Who doesn't like Dr. Seuss?
Moving onto frogs. Frogs seem to pop in and out of my life. Starting when I was pregnant with Katie, my Mom said I looked like a big fat frog and would buy me frog gifts. Then when Katie was pregnant with Calla, they called her froggie. Now, Calla LOVES FROGS! She has a plastic frog that lights up that she plays with in the bathtub...she goes nuts! She also has a frog toy thingy on her jumper that she loves.
The last few nights, there is a frog that is ribitting just outside my bedroom window...I don't know why I can hear this frog so clearly as I drift off to sleep, since our bedroom is on the second floor, high above any sort of place that frogs would live. I must say that I enjoy hearing the frog and his/her ribitting; its sort of soothing and comforting. Ribit, Ribit, Ribit...just like that.
We saw the movie The Other Bolyn Girl. Let's just be thankful that we don't live in that time!
Books to Read...I just finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife...so good!!!! Thank you Katie for loaning it to me. Its about a guy that time travels, through no will of his own. It just happens. For no reason. When he disappears from the present time, he leaves his clothes and any physical possessions on him behind and shows up in the past or future completely naked. And he is always hungry when he arrives in the past or future. He must hurriedly find clothes and food, so he gets good at picking locks and breaking and entering. Sometimes he is in the past/future for a minute or hours. Most of the time he enters the past and relives events in his life, some happy, some sad. He always interacts with his wife in the past and meets her when he she is six.
Its well written and I highly recommend it! There's a twist at the end too that is heart wrenching and unexpected.
Did you watch Oprah's Big Give on Sunday night? We missed it but I did watch the two Oprah shows promoting it. Its on for the next 7 weeks. I'm excited because the 3 judges include one of my FAVORITE CHEFS, Jamie Oliver. He's fantastic; he's British; he's adorable; he's funny; and he does some good things. He singlehandedly changed the way school lunches are prepared in England...they are now healthier, thanks to Jamie. His latest cookbook is out and all the proceeds go to his "fifteen foundation". Each year he chooses 15 young adults to learn how to be chefs and trains them, then gives them jobs at his restaurants. He's been doing this for years...its a good thing.
Dancing with the Stars starts March 17th...yay!!!! Can't wait for that. However, American Idol is on right now! We're voting. There's a gal named Christie Lee that is competing. She's not that good but because of her name and the fact that my Kristie Lee loves her name, we have to vote for her!
Kristie's next appointment is Monday, March 10th. She has to have shots and her monthly blood draw. We're done with her pre-tests (except the shots) so please pray for her to get thru those shots...what she hates the most. Thank you for that.
