This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!
Hi...went to two movies the last two days. Saw a Blended with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. It was really cute. Today I went to see So It a Goes with Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton. Another fun one to see. I love DIane Keaton. They were both two two funny feel good movies. Louis went with me yesterday and my friend and I went today.
Not much else going on around here. Hope everyone is doing well. Barb, hope you are feeling better.
Dianne Well, I feel like I mostly ate today. LOL I went out with friends for breakfast and then out with them again later for dinner, too. In between, I did do some other stuff like wash the dog, clear out some drawers in a desk, and a load of laundry. It was a beautiful day here and the beach was packed.
Well, Sam is back at home for a bit. Her lease on her apartment is up August 1st. She has a friend that is moving back to Madison, but his ride fell thru. Hoping he will make it up here so they can start a lease Sept. 1st. So now I get to share the Pimpala with another kid. I will drive to work at 4 am, and she will walk down to the store to pick it up. She works 9-5 most days. Kinda glad to have her home. She and Nate broke up yesterday. He is having some health issues (including mental health). It's not that she hasn't given him a chance. For whatever reason, he has been totally ok with only working part time. I know he was paying his share of rent, but little else. I told her months ago that she needed to rethink their relationship. I think it finally just got to be too much. Emotionally and financially.
SLIN - I caught up on laundry yesterday before I went to pick Sam up. This morning I just had a couple of loads to fold, so I decided it was movie day!! I watched Les Miserables and The Outsiders. Jake had found The Outsiders at Wallyworld a couple of weeks ago. He had just read it last year in English. Takes me back. Love me a young Patrick Swayze!! Ooooh, and Rob Lowe....yum!!!
I had to take my car in for a recall fix today and the dealer is near Sharon's house, so she picked me up and we went to the movies. We saw Lucy, with Scarlett Johanssen and Morgan Freeman. It was a very strange movie. Lots of action and lots of blood. I'm not sure what I think about it.
Jodi, I have had kids move out and back in and I liked it better when they lived at 'home' until they got older, then I was glad when they moved out for good.
J/L, We went to a Regal Theater and I used a gift card that I got for Xmas and it entitled me to a free popcorn. I took it, but we had just come from Mel's Diner and I had breakfast, so I was full, but I had to eat the popcorn, 'cause it was free, ya know! ;)
Barb, I too am glad to see you were able to get out. Lucy is the kind of movie Louis likes to see. I'm not too interested in those types of movies. If you get a chance go to the Diane Keaton one. My next one I want to see is Sex Tapes.
Jodi, I thought Sam had her own car? Sounds like you have a full house again. Is she still liking her job? Sounds like she made the right decision with boyfriend.
JL, eating is fun too especially with friends. You live in such a pretty place. It must seem like you're on vacation all the time. How long have you lived there?
Wonder what Mary's up to this weekend ? She sure disappears
DIANNE - Her car died in late spring. She has been riding her Dad's bike, taking cabs, or catching rides to work with friends. It had gotten to the point that it wasn't worth sticking more money into it. This is why the next apartment she gets is about a 1/4 mile from work.
Barb I'm glad to see that you got out and about. I know exactly what you mean about the popcorn. It is part of my ritual to have popcorn and a soda at the movie theater, no matter what I just ate.
I know you must be having cabin fever about now, but take it slow. You don't want a relapse!
Dianne No, it's not like I'm on vacation. LOL However, tomorrow I will start on my last few days of being employed and then I will be 100% retired. I will have to stock up on stuff for the dog while I still have my employee discount. LOL
HOdi Between the car and the boyfriend, it sounds like things aren't going Sam's way right now. I'm glad she still has her job and a good head on her shoulders. I agree with Dianne that she made the right decision about the boyfriend.
J/L, My energy level is returning, but slowly, so I'm not rushing to get back to globe trotting, or anything else. LOL I am, however, looking forward to the Bachelorette tonight. I sure hope she didn't pick Nick.
Sorry to be mia. I have been pretty busy. My neighbor Jim is doing better. He has to "shoot up" antibiotics twice a day. If this continues to work he may not need the amputation! He mostly gets lonely and restless. He was a little nervous about getting out again. I drove him to the grocery store and bank the other day. He got out and walked pretty good with his walker, but used the electric car thingy in the store. I think it was what he needed, because h e is now driving himself to visit Grand kids and eating out. Thanks for asking.
Barb in WA, I have no one on FB who "openly" dislikes my comments or pics. Personally, I love seeing all my friends pics. A lot of my friends tell me they know they will never be able to travel, and love seeing my adventures. The only one who ever complained was my own younger sister. She has had jealous issues forever! She runs 'hot' n "cold" lol!
I am so jealous of you gals that go to the movies so much! No one here wants to go, especially to the stuff I want to see. Most are into either Horror or Action stuff. I refuse to pay to see blood and body parts flying lol!!
Barb, I sure wish I could lunch with you and Dianne :( Don't you ever drop me from FB or I may have to move into that guest room of yours lol!!
JL,Barb, Jodi, Barb-in-Wa,Dianne and stalkers... love you all :) Oh, you too Tina ;}
Happy Anniversary Tina...24years!!! Hope you had a good day and dinner out.
Mary, I was missing you. Don't stay gone for so many days please. You can fly up for a few days and have lunches with us and we can go to some fun movies. I love the laughing romantic kind.
Barb, I'm do glad you're feeling better now. Just take it easy. Did you like the way your show turned out tonight?
Jodi, that will be nice for Sam to have a place close to work.
JL, yea...almost retirement day. You'll have to celebrate
I have so much to do, and I'm draggin ass! Since we are getting ready for the move, I decided to get all my b-day cards done through the end of the year. That's 19 b-day cards and 2 wedding cards that I need to do. Guess I better get going on them.
SacBarb: Glad you are feeling better and you were able to get out of the house to a movie! Hang in there. Before you know it you will realize that you feel great again!
Mary: NEVER! You will always be my friend whether you want to be or not!
J/Lin: If she makes one more snide remark she is gone!
Dianne: I want to see both of those movies! Just have not had the time for a movie. Been a while since I have seen one.
Jodi: Thanks for the offer sweetie! You never know, I may just call you some time :-)
OK....Better get moving on those cards. They aint gonna make themselves.
Barbs, I wish I had the talent and ambition to make beautiful cards! I have all I can do to buy them lol! I try to match up cards to people and it can take me forever!
Slow day today. My step son is finishing up on painting my hall way and bathroom. My Zoie hates it! She has bee staying close to me or out the door on the deck. Prolly the smell and the fact that he is wearing all white and looking spooky lol!
Our bedroom tv dies last night so I have to get a new one. Jim has to have the tv on all night..geesh!
It got cold here last night. I had to put on my jacket to walk the dog.I sure hope we don't have an early winter again this year :(
Have a good night HOoters! I'm off to a staff meeting. Tomorrow I have my last day of auditing. It was a fun distraction for the summer and I learned a lot!
Barb I hope you're continuing to feel better every day. It was fun to watch Bachelorette with you and share our thoughts and snarky remarks. LOL Can hardly wait for Bachelor in Paradise. What a train wreck that looks to be! I know I lose brain cells watching these shows but they are my guilty pleasure.
Barb in COviaWA Kudos to you for making all those cards. Under the circumstances, I think you'd be forgiven for sending out store bought cards this time.
Dianne I would like to see "Jersey Boys" since I missed seeing it on stage. My husband and I had bought tickets way ahead of time but then he ended up in the hospital for that final time so I gave the tickets to friends so they at least got to enjoy the show.
Okay, this is one of the reasons I hate shopping: Last week I bought a new set of luggage because they were on sale and my medium size suitcase acquired a broken handle on my last trip. Well, Monday I returned the luggage because the more I looked at it, the less I liked it. I'm now looking at different brands and designs. I'll probably go with a Briggs and Riley as they have a lifetime guarantee. On second thought, I'm 67. How much of a lifetime guarantee do I need?
J/L, LOL at your lifetime guarantee analogy. I am anxious to see what Bachelor in Paradise brings. I'm sure it will change my opinion on some of the folks. I'm going to stock up on wine for the event. We can watch it together, too.
JL, why didn't you like you new luggage? 67...you should be around for a good while longer. I wanted to see Jersey Boys too. I wonder if it's still playing.
Jodi, yea that Tim was able to replace the switch that saved you a few bucks!!! Where is SAMs friend coming from?
Mary, did u get a new tv? We bought one this week for my daughter. Her boyfriend is moving out and all the tvs are his ...so take them.
Dianne I decided I didn't like that it didn't have any outside pockets as I find those to be handy. Also I didn't like the mesh enclosure inside the lid. It had one zipper pull that went all the way around so if you had your bag on a luggage rack, opening that section would mean everything would fall out. At least if they would have had two zipper pulls for it, it would be possible to just open one section.
Headed to Home-WA today for our nieces wedding Saturday. Might be a little awkward if Robert's sister shows up. Have not talked to her since Christmas 2011. Robert doesn't think she will show. If she does, there will be plenty of people for me to talk with, so I will be able to avoid her. Robert will be the photographer for the wedding, so he will be busy and will easily be able to avoid her. But we are thinking that since its a nieces wedding, and that she has not even talked to the nieces father since 2011 either, she wont show. She's a great sister. (insert sarcasm)
Got my cards done. Ended up being 26 of them. Oiy. But they are done and separated into ziplock baggies by month. Now I just have to make sure I don't lose them in the move! LOL!
Mary: Robert is the same way with needing the tv on all night. We have burned up many bedroom tvs! But guess what??? Now I have him trained to watch Netflix on his iPad with earphones! So no noise! Sometimes there is still some flashing lights in the room, but he tries to cover it with his blanket to cut that down some. Makes it so much easier for me to sleep!
Lin: Bummer about the luggage. I bought a set a year or so ago that I regret. I still like the pattern, but it is a cream color with black floral designs, and it is filthy dirty now :-( I have thought about scrubbing it clean, but the first time I fly it will just get dirty again. Not sure what else to do. Its gonna get dirty regardless.
Dianne and Jodi and Barb....Hope everything is going great with you guys too!
Love Ya... Have a great weekend and I'll stop in Monday :-)

J/L, We went to a Regal Theater and I used a gift card that I got for Xmas and it entitled me to a free popcorn. I took it, but we had just come from Mel's Diner and I had breakfast, so I was full, but I had to eat the popcorn, 'cause it was free, ya know! ;)

Time to get my arse to town!
WOO HOO!!! Tim replaced the switch on the passenger door that controls the window, and it works!! No more plastic!
BARB IN CO VIA WA - That's a lot of cards, but you are smart to do them now!
SLIN - And not a minute too soon, he just lost his job :(
DIANNE - I just hope her friend gets here in time to sign a lease for September!
MARY - I'm loving the cooler evenings here. But I agree about the early winter. Boo!!!
Have a good night HOoters! I'm off to a staff meeting. Tomorrow I have my last day of auditing. It was a fun distraction for the summer and I learned a lot!

Mary You can go to matinees by yourself. I used t do that fairly often and enjoyed the "me" time. It was fun. I should start doing that again.
Barb in COviaWA Kudos to you for making all those cards. Under the circumstances, I think you'd be forgiven for sending out store bought cards this time.
HOdi Sorry Sam's ex lost his job but so glad that it is no longer her problem.
That's great that Tim was able to fix your car window for you. Yay!
