doing laundry
and getting thrashed at cribbage.

learning to crochet on youtube.....
all in all..... the day has been a bust

Who's in.....Who's out

Madame x has one or two oscar observations:


Nominated

Daniel Day Lewis - There will be blood


He is never going to be as beautiful as he was in this -------->

sigh..


Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth: The Golden Age



Madame x thinks Cate should be given the oscar so she can put away the white face powder...... and we can let HRH... R.I.P.....KWIM





NOT Nominated
Angelia Jolie - A Mighty Heart

No nomination for this sad but true story----too bad, so much better than her Laura Croft deal.Psssst....didja hear the rumor...pregnant again....with twins
Love..rumors

Hey wait a minute...

is that Judge Amy's brother?

Sean Penn - Into the Wild

First time directing.... Another sad but true story.

Looks like he didn't get a nod from Mrs. Penn... either

And those are the observations of Madame x re: a few oscar nominations.. Bye the bye....Madame x hasn't seen any of these movies, so she really doesn't know if 'Mighty Heart' is better than a movie about Pandora's box.

While you are waiting

First.....thanks for checking in on me....you know who you are Em and Chellie and my friend with guilty secrets.... all is well and I will be stopping in with comments soon... You are good peeps So, until I actually get back to posting, I offer an inventory of my desk:

1. Mickey Mouse. He is trying to look inconspicuous in case 'the grandsons' are still around. One of which, has a habit of sucking on Mickey while watching videos. Mickey thinks Buzz or Woody should take a turn.

2. Madame x's favorite coffee cup (a gift) usually filled with Peet's Arabian Mocha-Java...... As we know, Starbucks is loathe to sell Peet's. My last year rez was to NEVER ever stand in line at Starbuck’s to pay $4.75 for a venti java chip Frappuccino.... ever again..... (and almost didn't).

3. Madame x's desktop computer...a faithful old friend suffering serious wear and tear. Twelve years of steady uninterrupted service and now almost out of ram and megahertz. It is too old to upgrade and has been partitioned twice. Madame x needs a new desktop....but some people cast askance at such nonsense. (see item 5)

4. A magnum of scissors...Madame x doesn't feel secure unless she is surrounded by a lot of scissors...There are more in the other room...for every pair of scissors, Mx has four writing and drawing implements. These are necessary staples in Mx’s life.....

IE:

bread,

milk,

Mrs. Dash's seasoning,

scissors, gel pen.....

5. The software program which tracks all Mx's *necessary staples. *Necessary is very subjective, as in 'peculiar to a particular individual'... IE: spouse of Mx, who is prone to qualify what is necessary (which is totally unnecessary).

6. Buzz and Woody and Jess and Prospector .....they are so cool! they drive a turquoise Cadillac car.

7. Last(ly).... THE LAPTOP.... such a bad boy.....crashed twice.... diagnosed with schlepping syndrome (as in schlepped all over creation) sometime without even a shut down....it would like to have a brand new desktop for a brother or sister to play with and teach bad habits.

With Apologies

Didn't mean to just drop off the planet... Madame x is not dead

Everything is good.

Hoping, to get back to this soon.

Wits End...........

Madame x barely had time to unpack her dirty laundry, before the forces of evil set about their evil forcing ways.

There's a bad moon on the rise, folks

But light dawns in yander tunnel and with luck and latitude Madame x will be back on the computer by next week (mid-week).

As an aside................remember the barking dogs? the dogs are still barking...........

and at the moment

that ........is the least of Madame x's problems.

Water Parks

Madame x survived TWO! Bigger than life water parks with a 4 year old and a 6 year old…. Thank God they were not big enough to go down the Mt Gushmore Summit Plummet, a 120 foot high ski jump that you shoot down at speeds of 60-mph.

They say no one has died on the thing…. But Madame x is not so sure


Madame x now has a really bad cold and cough

And has no money…. Walt Disney has it all.

And doesn’t care, it was worth it.

Madame x is going to read up on all y’all… and see what has transpired in this long absence.

Walt Disney World....
