From the ashes...

Like the Phoenix...

Saturdays are..for me...like 

'rising from the ashes'.

I do sooo need that one day a week that I do

"whatever I want to do".

It's so refreshing and revitalizing...

though I often find myself thinking I'm 

'forgetting' to do something.

Whilst I was 'away'...I discovered that

Aubrie

over at Flutey Words

presented me with a new 'award'.

I just need to name the 5

Sci-Fi/ Fantasy

Books or Movies that inspire me...

Well...I 'could' just name off 5 of the 7 Harry Potter books...

but I'll just group those in a collective and say...

1. ALL Harry Potter books and movies

2. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

3. E.T.

4. Star Trek...the newest movie (with Silar from Heroes as Spock)

5. The Blob (with Steve McQueen)

I'm sure if I had thought a little harder, I might have selected something different

for numbers 4 and 5...

but I did enjoy the last Star Trek movie...

and

I was definitely 'inspired' by The Blob...

it scared the heck out of me...and somehow seemed more

'possible'

than the Frankenstein and Dracula movies

I also LOVED watching.

New Harry Potter Movie

I'm quite excited....
the new Harry Potter movie
"The Half Blood Prince"
comes out today!

The kids and I won't be going
until tomorrow....
(I prefer matinees...which means the kids
that want to go with..will have to schedule their workdays
accordingly.)
Yes...we really are HUGE fans...we don't dress up
or anything...
but we've all read the books..many times...listened to the audio books...
watched the movies...
and even played some games.

Two outings in the same month...
what will I do with myself?!!

Here's a preview...in case you haven't already seen it!
