Rented the “The Blind Side” today at a Redbox. I’ve been wanting to watch the movie since I first heard about it. The star is dandra Bullock, and she is one of my favorite actresses in Hollywood. The movie is about a true story of a rich family who takes in a poor orphan boy and helps him become a football player. It’s really good. I’m going to watch it again tomorrow before I take it back to the Redbox.

There is one Pizza Hut in town that has an actual dining room inside the restaurant where you can go inside and sit down and eat the pizza and wings. All the other Pizza Huts are just for delivery now.

The bst part about this Pizza Hut is that they have a buffet at lunch for only $5.99. So you can get all the pizza and salad you can eat for under six bucks. Love that!

Maybe I should make that stronger. Must LOVE dogs. Because I am a dog person. I have dogs and they are like part of my family. They are like my kids. So if you are interested in having a relationship with me, then you must be a dog person and you must love dogs and you must love my dogs. That is plain and simple, and there’s no wiggle room.

I just discovered how easy it is to rent movies at the Redbox locations. I have seen them for about 2 years now, but with cable and a busy schedule, I haven’t worried about using any rentals. But now the TV shows are really lame and there’s not much to do at night until the weather is nicer.

Since I can rent a movie for just $1 for the night, it’s a bargain – actually it is cheaper than cable even if I rent a different movie every night of the month!

So I’m going to rent a movie from Redbox and have a movie night.

I love March and the first signs of Spring. The weather get a little rainy, but it gets warmer. I can’t wait to bring out the flip flops again. Spring is coming!

Evidently, in my family, “normal” is just a setting on the washing machine.

Mt Granny’s best friend for almost her whole life passed away in her sleep last night. It was a very sad phone call this morning from my mom to let me know. The people in my granny’s generation would always make close friends a type of family member. We called granny’s friend, Cousin Margie. Even though she wasn’t really a cousin by marriage, they wanted to make her feel like part of the family and they wanted the family to respect and love her like one of our own. So we grew up with Cousin Margie at a lot of holiday dinners and summer vacation trips.

She was a good woman and very special to my granny. I can’t help but think that if she died in her sleep that she had a peaceful death and probably did not suffer. And she is in a better place now. We will all miss her very much, especially granny.

It has already snowed for two straight days and we have at least four inches of snow on the ground. Usually the snow melts as it falls, or might last overnight while it is colder and no sun to melt it. But this time it is very cold and the snow isn’t melting. It is still supposed to snow tonight and again later this week. I wonder if I will be able to get to work in the morning? They have closed school and I’m thinking about calling in to work and taking a personal day off so I don’t take unnecessary chances with getting in a wreck on the way to or from work.
