Mark Consuelos.....Not a familiar name to most people, but he is the hunky, handsome husband of Kelly Ripa. I used to watch him on All My Children and I just think he is one beautiful, male speciman. Well, he is in the new movie, The Great Raid. It's a war picture based on a true story....not really my kind of flick, but I went to see it just to see him! It's a fairly good movie, but he is barely in it. He has very little dialogue, so imagine my disappointment! I will get over it. I can find many more things than that to occupy my feeble little mind.
Here's my message to the following: Cindy Sheehan, The U.N., Barbra Streisand, Rosie O'Donnel, Michael Moore, Bill Mahr , Alan Colmes, Howard Dean, etc.
My bathroon has been finished! It's been over two months since someone drove through my wall. There were weeks when nothing at all was done toward completing this re-construction project. My incessant whining finally worked!
OK, I am not Ebert OR Roeper, but March of the Penguins is an awesome documentary. I know some sperm donors (fathers) who could take some pointers from these male penguins. Take your children to see this movie. They will love it and so will you.
Since gas prices hit $2.49 here, my running the roads is going to slow dramatically. Unfortunately, it is I who will suffer the most from not going as often to work out. My gym membership is a 50 mile round trip away. I will not be going every day and I will have to plan my trips more carefully to coincide with other plans. Tomorrow I have an eye doctor appointment in the same city, so I can combine the workout with the doctor. I just live in my car and it is going to be quite a change for me. I used to think nothing of slipping over to Houston for the day, but that won't be happening very often.
Today I finally finished my 100 things post!!
That's the only way to describe me all day yesterday. The only thing I can attribute it to is being too hot on the golf course on Thursday. I was either in the recliner or the bed sleeping all day long. I almost never sleep in the recliner, but yesterday was a BIG exception. I never even walked the few steps outside to the mailbox.....that's just how sluggish I was!!!
Once again I thought I could handle the heat on the golf course. Due to several incidents of "things going fuzzy" for me, I had to quit after 7 holes. I thought perhaps it was low blood sugar because I had not eaten before going out. It was not that. I checked my blood glucose level when I got home and it was 130. That is not a low reading or a high reading. I guess it is just Texas heat and humidity. I should know better by now!!! Duh! I am sure I'll be back out there next Thursday! I'm a slow learner.
This is not a movie that I would normally choose to see, but I like Jessica Simpson so much that I wanted to see her. I hope the movie is a hit because of her, but it was nothing more than a long, loud car chase. Jessica didn't have many scenes, but she was just as cute as could be in them. I wouldn't give this movie any more than 2 stars and that is stretching it. If it hadn't been so loud, I would have gone to sleep. Next, I am going to see March of the Penguins.
Once again I have returned to MY home after a short (4 days) trip to check on my elderly parents. They are fine......I am tired!!! Today I drove down to the beach to visit my friend Joy, who is down there with her family. I mostly went to see her dad, whom I am quite fond of and rarely get to see. The bottom line is that I have missed my exercise for the past two weeks and I am anxious to get back on a schedule for working out. I haven't hit a lick since my yoga class ended 2 weeks ago. No excuses.....I could have done yoga at any of the places that I have been, BUT I DIDN'T!
It's always good to get away a few days, but it is good to be back home! I left on Thursday and spent the night in San Antonio to revisit the River Walk. On Friday, after dropping a few bucks at the Outlets in San Marcus, I went on to Austin. Met up with friends and went out to dinner at Posada's. The hotel was filled with hometown folks in for Janis' wedding, so we had a good time visiting. Janis and Keith got married at 2 P.M. in a sweet ceremony at a catholic church in Georgetown. Then the fun began.....which is the whole point of weddings anyway, I think! It was a very long reception that included dinner. Janis was a beautiful bride and is a very special person to me. She is one of MY girls. We stayed until the bride and groom left at 9:30. We were gone from the hotel a total of 9 hours!!!! Wow!
