Viktor E. Frankl: "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves."

As for our Best Picture Oscar winning movie marathon, we are officially done!  This week we watched Birdman (2014) which was really a little disappointing, we love Micheal Keaton and expected a lot more from this movie.  Sadly, it was just okay!

In other news, I dyed my hair.  Just for the hell of it.....  

Not as dark as I was expecting it to be but I think it turned out pretty good!  I have only ever dyed my hair once before and it really didn't hold so I figured I could try it again and it would fade out quick in case I didn't like it lol.

Another super busy week is over and I have several more to go, ick!  Time for a glass of wine and relaxing!

Happy Friday All!

John Lennon: "Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans."

As for our Best Picture Oscar winning movie marathon, we are almost done!  This week we watched Argo (2012) which was really good, we have seen it before but we both liked it and it was still good a second time around. I was a little like, "I hope we never have to use that scheme again because now everyone knows about it" but still a good movie.  Next up, we watched 12 Years a Slave (2013), another good movie.  Sad that someone would have to go through that but a very good movie.

We had some running around in town to do and had planned on eating at the new Whataburger for lunch.  Unfortunately, so did everyone else!!  

Lines out to the street, a cop directing traffic in the parking lot, I don't think so.  We moved on down the street to Burger King which was fine because I had coupons!!!

It was super hot so we decided to stop in at Grubbs uptown for a beer or three before we finished our running around.

We finished up our running around and then headed home to Winslow.  We put everything away and then decided to let the children in to cool off and play inside for a bit.

Until next time Winslownians!

Frank Lane: "If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm."

As for our Best Picture Oscar winning movie marathon, we are almost done!  This week we watched The King's Speech (2010) which was really good, we have seen it before but we both liked it and it was still good a second time around. Next up, we watched The Artist (2011), for a modern day silent film it wasn't too bad but it was still a silent movie and that kinda says it all!

Now it's only five hundred years until The Walking Dead returns, but only like one hundred years until Fear The Walking Dead comes on so we're still binge watching House M.D..  Awesome show and I don't know how anyone could watch it and not be thoroughly entertained.  Of course, I do have a twisted sense of humor.  

Nothing much else is going on, things are slowing down just a bit before the final storm (when school starts).  Not really looking forward to it but enjoying a little break of calm.

Until next time Winslownians!
