EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Kinda feels good to make that sound.
Stephen King is on to something!!!!

Audio CD Books

Joined a rental club and I've been listening to them just about every night except for last night--I listened to Devils & Dust By Bruce Springsteen--his latest. My rating is ****

I've listened these so far:

1) The Mist--in 3-D by Stephen King --- ****
2) Nights without Armour by Jewel--***
3) Servant of the Bones by Anne Rice--*****
4) From a Buick 9 by Stephen King--*****

This week I've been listening to Blood and Smoke read by Stephen King and it's really spooky. The first story is called Lunch at the Gotham Cafe. EEEE.....EEEEEE.....EEEEEEEEE.... if you've read the story, you know what I'm talking about. The second story is called 1408. About a room that is haunted or rather has something frightening living in it. The # of the room =13. I"m at the part where the author(he's doing a series on haunted hotels) is at the door of the room. I'm too afraid to listen at night. I haven't gotten to the last story yet--In the Deathroom but I did read the story once. If you've read Everything's Eventual --one of King's short story collections, then you've read these stories. Stephen King lends a spookiness to the reading.

Proms and Wind

Today is our biggest Prom night of the year. L'ton Senior High. I expect over 50 couples this year. We're starting at 4 and it will go on until after 8. Dad's out of town photographing a wedding in High Point and won't be back until after 7. So I'm in charge of the whole thing... our part-time photographer is taking the pictures. I guess this is a big test for me to see what it would be like not to have Dad around, during these big shoots. I actually believe that the way I plan to do it tonight (as far as logging their names in, taking their money and keeping them in order goes) will work better than his usual way.

So I'm here alone, printing order forms, etc. Taking time to sip some coffee and working things out in my mind. Also have some very nervous parents calling to make sure I look out for their kids. Mainly its the 'first time prommers.' So I'm soothing them with my usual Sherrieness.

Its been a busy week for me. Rainy and gray part of the time...windy the rest. Thought I was going to get blown away a few times.

Things are ok. Nephews are growing too fast. William is chest high now. Ben's getting taller. Today he told me he was a big boy with muscles and showed me his elbow. lol... I figured his ego would be crushed if I corrected him...so for now...his muscle is his elbow.

Longevity test

my score is 95

yep... I'll live to be a diry old woman

how long might you live?

The New Royal Couple

Alls I got to ponder about is....

What's up with those twig hats???? Looks like a failed attempt at bird nesting!

::On knees with fingers locked looking up and praying::

"Please Lord, don't let that fashion trend catch on in the States."

Sniplets

Hectic around here so I'll drop in a few sniplets (acrostic style) of this and that:

Springs here and so is naughty pollen--so far I'm not in an allergy related tizzy with coughing and sneezing. Thank you Rain.

Nephew William and I had a debate over who would win in a race...Harry Potter or the Cat in the Hat. I said "Harry." He said "the Cat." I said "But HP's got a wand and a Firebolt." He said "The Cat's got its Hat." I let him win that debate.

It's the Invasion of the Sumo Bees. (Carpenter Bees). A zillion of them buzz me each time I go to the barn behind my house. I've taken to wacking them with a plastic baseball bat...smack...and they're out of the ball park. Home run to the barn.

Photography is good...mainly wedding sessions. Dad's standing joke is that if the groom doesn't show up he's got to marry the bride.

Looks like yahoo can't leave nothing alone. I'm ok with the new group format except for two things--that freaking huge ad in the middle of each post and the way the real name shows up first instead of the profile name on the side of the list of posts. I see the first name and go..."Huh?" I took mine off my profile... most people know me as Fairy. I think half of the people who use yahoo groups are already confused enough.

Everytime I see a Burger King ad I want to run away. That Plastic Face King guy is spooky. If I opened a window and saw him there I would dial 911, screaming bloody murder. But no... the person always seems not to be surprised, takes whatever food that's offered to them and even let the dog lick the King's face.

The nephews are excited that spring is here. We've been playing baseball outside and I'm beginning to be a top-notched pitcher. I'm thinking that after this season, I'll sign up with the Cubs and see if I can help break the Gypsy Curse... but hell, now that I think about it... if I'm that good the Yankees will want me... after all they buy only the best.

So...that's about all for now.

From one of my Blog Readers

He's on a trip to China and can't read my blogs.... here's the email I got today.

Sherrie
Guess what the government of China does not like blogger and you are blocked. How cool is that ...you are a subversive element. No wonder you don't have large Chineses readership.

Explains why none of my words of wisdom have made it inside of fortune cookies.

Ring 2 and a Ho

We have two movies theatres in town. They are within a 1/4 of a mile of each other. Went with my friend Doug to see the Ring 2...my review-- "Second Ring Few Dings"... anyway, on the way to it, we are driving by the theatre that's not showing it.. stopped at a traffic light and I looked over at the marquee.. it has four movies listed ...the first being this: Guess Ho

I'm laughing.. "Guess Ho...Guess Ho... Hey, Guess, HO! ...Damn where's my camera."

On the way back home, we passed the theatre and they had fixed the marquee "Guess Who" ...

I should get one of those camera phones for ha ha moments.
