Movies, Sisters, & Completions!

I came home from work on Saturday and saw my wine rack hanging! I was so happy! Here are a couple of pics. I still need to go shopping to fill it. It is looking very bare.




Also here are some pictures of the shutters. Now that we have nice weather again I plan on getting the doors painted in the same color.

Here is a pic of the girls Bill took this one night when he went to tuck them in bed, he found them all sitting on the wall. We found it kind of funny.

So I have been watching some movies lately. I watched Superman Returns, very good movie. Also I watched Crash, now this was a great movie, I highly recommend this movie. If you are unaware of this one here is a summary of the movie. This movie won 3 Oscars and has a list of famous people including: Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Tony Danza, Matt Dillon, William Fichtner, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Ludacris, & Ryan Phillippe.

Several stories interweave during two days in Los Angeles involving a collection of inter-related characters, a police detective with a drugged out mother and a thieving younger brother, two car thieves who are constantly theorizing on society and race, the white district attorney and his irritated and pampered wife, a racist white veteran cop (caring for a sick father at home) who disgusts his more idealistic younger partner, a successful Hollywood director and his wife who must deal with the racist cop, a Persian-immigrant father who buys a gun to protect his shop, a Hispanic locksmith and his young daughter who is afraid of bullets, and more.

I got some really shocking news yesterday! I guess I will fill you in on a some things before I give the news. My sister Carrie has been dating someone for awhile. They recently took a vacation together, of course it was to DisneyWorld, being that my sister will not go anywhere else. She goes every spring.

So anywhooo........She calls me yesterday morning and wants me to drive up to drill holes in her walls and help her hang curtains, she is upset because it is so light in her new apartment even with the blinds, she hasn't slept for 2 days. Did you catch what I said? Her new apartment. I was speechless, then I went on to tell her that I was not spending $10.00 in gas and all that time driving in & back home again to drill a couple of holes. I told her that I would be in the area on Tuesday and that I would come over and take care of it then. Then I went on to ask her several questions. I asked if her boyfriend was going to be living with her? answer no. Then, I asked if she could afford this? Answer yes. Then finally I asked her if mom could afford the trailer by herself? she paused for a minute then said, "I think so". Ok, she is almost 30 years old. But here are a couple of my concerns: My sister is the worlds biggest slob, I have seen pigpens cleaner than her room. Most who know of my sister also knows that she is far from being one of the sharper tools in a shed! It would not surprise me if she winds up pregnant, that is the one thing that scares me more than anything. I just can not see my sisiter being able to take care of a baby, I am concerned for the child!! Just pray for me that she doesn't become pregnant. I know that sounds really bad and maybe it is wrong of me to think like that, but I have known her for 30 years, I know what she is like. Hell just her maturity level scares me, 30 year olds don't still buy and play with Bratz & Barbies. Especially when they don't have children! I just think about her last boyfriend..........Some of you will remember him, Darren Mills was his name, if it sounds familiar that is because he is the guy that was all over the news a few years ago for taking pictures of children, when he got busted there were hundreds of pictures of little boys, and I will just leave it at that. That boy was just damn lucky that Kenny was a baby, and the police didn't find any baby pictures. There were not any pictures of girls.......Like I said anyone who knows my sister would understand my concerns. When I talked to my brother, he was also concerned.

All right enough of all that! I will give myself a headache. I am looking forward to this weekend, we are going to try to celebrate Dave & Violets birthday again, hopefully it will be with them. Even though we had one hell of a time without them last year!!! Love you guys!

Goodnight!!!

Wine rack looks great!

Wow...as I was reading, I thought that you were going to say that she was pregnant. Glad that she isn't. Why is she dating that guy anyway? That would concern me also.

She is not dating that guy anymore, she hasn't it a couple of years. They broke about a month before he was arrested. The guy she is dating now, bought her diamond earrings for Christmas.

1. LOVE the shutters and wine rack.

2. TOTALLY understand your concerns about Carrie and will say some prayers too. Have you talked to your mom about your concerns??? Can you talk to Carrie about prego stuff????? Make sure she is "protected"??????

Good luck!
