FRIDAY MATINEE ON MONDAY

Well, only two of you offered me a movie suggestion. I can only assume that my other two readers are either busy entering a contest at Pioneer Woman for a Kitchenaid mixer, or they slept in late.


Here are the suggestions.....Rebeckah @ Life With Kaishon suggested The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. That movie isn't playing within 40 miles of me. I do hope to see it when it gets closer to home.


Cortney @ The Cortney Chronicles suggested Australia. Another movie I want to see, but I may be disappointed because it will remind me of my Aussie heartthrob Hula Hank who is way cuter than Hugh Jackman. What's even more depressing is they are both spoken for.


So, I'm going with a retro "memories are made of this" type movie...

Cadillac Records! I heard the soundtrack is fantastic, and Beyonce is fabulous as Etta James. I can't wait to get back to you all later this evening.

Don't wait up because after the movies I have other social stuff to do.

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNNOTICED........

Especially when it's a very unselfish, generous act of kindness and giving by a child. I'm talking about the winner of a recent contest I held to name my Astro Bear.....

Philip Johnny Bob.

Mila was the winner of the $25 Walmart gift card.

She decided to give it to Quince and his family. Quince is a friend and co-worker of Rebeckah from Life With Kaishon. Quince has a stroke that left him paralyzed on one side, with numerous other physical limitations. He will be in rehab for quite a while.

While I pray for Quince and his family, I commend Mila for having such a good heart. I will put a note to Quince and his family letting them know what a beautiful deed Mila did.

3. Marey from Elemento-P. I knew Marey before I started my blog and she also encouraged me. She is by far the world's best kindergarten teacher ever!
