The Conclusion

And we're back for the second half of the year (or more accurately, the second half of the first quarter of the year) in review. Let's jump right in, shall we?

Tuesday, March 3rd - Invented "tire toupees" today. They're little patches for your tires to replace a worn part temporarily until you can afford a new pair. Because in these tough times, sometimes you can't always do the things you need to right away. So slap on a tire toupee! Your wallet will thank you.

Tuesday, March 10th - Saw a commercial for the movie "Ella Enchanted" today & learned that it's about a girl who is cursed with obedience. I wonder if we're related.

Friday, March 13th - Happy 40th Birthday to John! Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Vanilla ice cream. Birthday candles. That's all you really need to celebrate isn't it? We decided that when you turn 40, you get to blow out the candles twice and make two wishes!

Saturday, March 14th - Watched Will Ferrell's special on HBO called "You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George Bush." If you get the chance, watch it! It's pretty funny & he did a good job with it. Will Ferrell has magical comedy powers.

Wednesday, March 18th - Actress Natasha Richardson died today. All I can picture is Liam Neeson's face in the movie "Love Actually" when he starts crying in the kitchen while he's talking to Emma Thompson. So sad. :(

Thursday, March 19th - Oh, so Bernie Madoff wants to spend the time period between now & his sentencing at his luxury penthouse? Why isn't the automatic answer to this just "tough shit"?

Sunday, March 22nd - Bought a new curling iron today. One of the actual safety instructions printed on the box is, "Never use while sleeping." Really? REALLY?!!!

Thursday, April 2nd - Watching "Family Ties" right now! Alex P. Keaton is still great.

So there you go. That's what I've been thinking so far this year. Along with some other stuff in between. But that's another story.

Until next time,
PortlandGirl
