They have some gorgeous ones you can buy. Can even go to etsy.com and buy handmade ones that somebody else made--ROFL!!<br />The Tree of Life does linger. Just so odd and almost mystical in places. Disappointingly fascinating. ;)<br />Still no white action up here.

I felt no sympathy for the circus owner, no matter how broken he was. People who act out like that deserve what they get, and they usually don't get it badly enough!!!<br /><br />I didn't see the other movie, but I refuse to see ANY movie that has Sean Penn in it on personal grounds. Bad-mouthing our troops at the beginning of the Afghan invasion gets you on my SH*T list forever!!!Queenie Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372885558434883470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-32501077866591192512011-12-05T14:25:13.164-06:002011-12-05T14:25:13.164-06:00Serena--Bummer!

You must be praying for rain! I hope you get some. :):)<br /><br />Donna--I was a TV kid of the 50s. Love TV and movies. I think I'd be more restless never getting out if I didn't have things to watch on TV...especially on those painful bad days where it can take my mind off it. Well, I'd probably be reading up a storm--LOL!<br />Sorry about your mom. I'm sure she would want you to be happy, though, and for your boys to be making memories of good Christmases, right? Can you hear me singing Deck The Halls?!! ;)<br />Hope you have a spirit lifting week!! :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-51607656362149618772011-12-05T13:50:38.040-06:002011-12-05T13:50:38.040-06:00I almost never watch TV or movies... which is why...I almost never watch TV or movies... which is why I can never complete a crossword puzzle. So many of them are about TV shows, movies, actors, or even commercials. It is also surprising to me how often people say, "did you see that commercial?" No, I didn't even see the show but when I do watch TV I never watch the commercials. I just can't stay in one place that long since my legs start twitching. RLS keeps me from ever going to the theater. I do love to go to the local theatRE though... I love to watch the various dances and I can even stand up there. <br /><br />Love that card you got! I really need to get thinking about what i am going to do! I just am not in the mood. I'm having a really hard time this year missing my mom and it isn't helping any that her birthday is the 8th. I usually put my tree up on my birthday or the day after Thanksgiving on the years my birthday comes before the holiday but this year it still isn't up. I just don't feel the spirit of Christmas yet....although it is NOT for the lack of snow.

I know nothing about how to alter videos or pictures--none of that. Dagan and Leah have never done anything like that and have no interest in it, so I have nobody to show me. I'm not even very good at following what programs tell me to do that other people find so "self explanatory"--LOL! Maybe I could find videos on youtube, but I think I'll just stick with what little I do know. With me the pictures and videos are just as is. ;) Thanks, though.<br /><br />Dee--It's funny, I can usually watch some pretty dark, oppressive movies and they don't effect me that way. Something about this one that was so unrelenting that the last bit of happy didn't help. ??<br />I knew you wanted the quotes back. Glad you're enjoying them. :):)<br /><br />Deanna--Yes--impact is a good description. There was such hopelessness, joylessness, defeat...except in the last couple minutes. Draining.<br />Karma is the grocery supervisor. She watches to see I put everything where it should go--LOL! ;)<br /><br />Iggy--Yes, Karma would love it if there was a huge pile of them!

And moody movies tend to bring out my melancholy. Thanks for the reviews. Now I won't get the DVDs from the library. <br /><br />Like you, I need snow to help me get in the Christmas spirit. Living in Minnesota for 38 years did that for me!<br /><br />I so liked the quotation you added today. I'm glad you've started adding them again.

My hubby said to me today, when we were discussing the presidential candidates , remember when Glinda the Good Witch told Dorothy, "You must never let the bad witch have your shoes. She wants them badly and therefore they must be very powerful." He related it to the candidates running for president. What a thought to think about!<br />I see you everyone and your blog photo reminds me of my own childhood.

That's fine with me. ;) <br /><br />Gwen--I just don't know, I was very sensitive to it watching this movie for some reason. Was so hard to watch. It was just hard to watch the circus owner at any time.<br />I've been getting my groceries delivered now for maybe six years. Costs $7.00, but it's so worth it for me! Can't afford to have delivery more than once, though. So I'm always eating my salads and bananas and such at the beginning of the month--LOL! ;)<br /><br />AliceKay--Oh yes, Karma loves those grocery bags! She knows she doesn't get them for long--hehe!<br />You'll notice even in the trailer it is hard to figure out what is going on. It's quite enigmatic. Be curious as to what you might think of it.<br />You'll be forewarned about the cruelty and deaths and such. It's well-made and the acting is good and all that. I liked it. Just left me kind of feeling emotionally exhausted, for some reason.<br />I know most people don't look forward to the snow. I would love it if we had snow from Thanksgiving until New Year's Day...after that...LOL! ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-62133785653794619682011-12-04T16:35:04.621-06:002011-12-04T16:35:04.621-06:00The card you received is really cute.

I haven't started writing out my cards yet, but I've received six of them already.<br /><br />Looks like you're well stocked for the month. Karma always enjoys the shopping bags on the floor, doesn't she? :)<br /><br />I've never heard of "The Tree of Life" so I watched the trailer. It looked like a pretty good movie from watching that trailer, but then sometimes they are misleading. I did hear this line while watching the trailer..."Unless you love, your life will flash by". I thought that was interesting. If it happens to come on one of our movie channels, I might watch it. <br /><br />I've been looking forward to "Water For Elephants" and just mentioned to Karen while in Walmart yesterday afternoon that I'd like to see it. I'll take your review into account before watching it.<br /><br />Speaking of Walmart...that place was like a zoo yesterday. People everywhere, and mostly in the way of where you wanted to go. We're gonna try to go to the Arnot Mall north of Elmira (New York) after my appointment in Sayre on the 14th...unless we're getting a snow storm. Ryan had his picture taken with Santa while at the Lycoming Mall on Monday, but she might try again at the Arnot Mall next week.<br /><br />It's been very windy here the past few days, and even though the temps are mild for this time of year, the wind still had a bite to it today. Not looking forward to snow or winter this year at all.<br /><br />I hope you had a restful Sunday.AliceKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027650364526343030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-47014863309790573462011-12-04T16:04:55.883-06:002011-12-04T16:04:55.883-06:00I find I can't watch anything which depicts cr...I find I can't watch anything which depicts cruelty to animals.

Hand-made is my fave too although I don't think I'll get a chance to do hand-made cards this year. <br /><br />The Tree of Life sounds very disjointed...I don't like those sorts of movies at all.<br /><br />I don't think I'll bother watching Water For Elephants as I can't stand seeing cruelty to animals. It can stay with me for weeks and is emotionally devastating to me. Thanks for the warning.<br /><br />How funny that snow effects the sales. I guess people don't feel like it's the Christmas season until they see lot of snow. DownUnder, we don't get snow at this time of year, only heat and storms...no real Christmas markers at all. Yep, we have the Brown Christmas but then, we're used to it. lol<br /><br />Have a lovely week,<br /><br />Love,<br />Serena xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.com
