Last night we watched two movies: The Manchurian Candidate and Dodgeball. Both were pretty good. Manchurian Candidate really freaked me out! Reminded me of Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson. I have just enough naturally heightened paranoia in my genes that I could easily fall into that kind of paranoid trap, thinking that the CIA was tracking my every move. Yikes! Dodgeball was stupid but funny! I have recently discovered that I have this strange admiration of Vince Vaughn. He's not particularly hot by, say, George Clooney or Brad Pitt standards but there's just something intriguing about him. The way he carries himself. The way his bottom lip kinda sticks out a bit and shows his teeth. I dunno what the heck it is but he makes me drool a lil!

So I finished Our Lady of the Forest the other night. Pretty good book but it felt like a very rushed ending. I got the sense that the author's editor limited him to only a certain number of words or pages or whatever so he quickly wrapped things up. The characters were one-dimensional but the setting of the story easily permitted that. Good book...check it out if you liked Snow Falling on Cedars (same author).

And now, dear readers, I have just begun my fourth (maybe fifth?) reading of Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins!!! This is easily one of my favoritest books in the whole world! Robbins' writing style really gets my creative juices flowing so don't be surprised if for the next few weeks as I read this book again, my posts get wordy and full of long-winded metaphors! Consider yourself warned.

I'm definitely not a shoe junkie by any means - in fact, I despise shopping for shoes. But I am seriously dying for a pair of Crocs!!! Actually, I really want a few pairs, different colors: green, tan, black, and maybe a pair of purple ones for fun! I've heard them referred to as "the ugliest but most comfortable shoes in the world." Everyone's wearing them lately. I just want 'em cuz I think they're cute, comfortable and functional! Honey wants a pair too. Is it strange that my favorite shoes are typically matching pairs of shoes he has? My black Birks are easily confused with his tan ones! I'm all about comfort, not looks.

Went to Vitamin Cottage last night and got me some Flax Seed Oil to add to my morning supplements. My shrink recommended I take some to help lower my cholesterol. And then yesterday afternoon, during my research on digestive system cleansing and care, I discovered that it can really help digestive function, especially for peeps with IBS, like me! I also got some Tummy Mint tea, basamati rice, and various other wellness products. I really took care of myself last night and today I feel 95% better! I love taking care of myself! It's almost a hobby for me! I ordered both of those yoga videos I mentioned yesterday and I can't wait to get started on it! Thank you, ladies, for your suggestions on yoga videos! Any suggestions on where to get inexpensive accessories for yoga (mats, blocks, etc)?

And now I'm off to practice my guitar and then go visit my mom at the hospital! Have a great weekend, everyone!!!
