Well it seems like the monsoon storms have hit Arizona finally. It seems like every night we get lots of wind. So far we have not had any rains here at the house to speak of, an odd bit of spitting but that is it, and it is so dry that we really need it. The wind just gets picked up and it is like literally a wall of dust, that you can watch head your way. Today it got to 112 degrees here at the house. Jeff smoked some ribs, so it was nice not heating up the kitchen, and they tasted so good, not as good as when we use Waldo's BBQ sauce, but we were all out, but hey I ate em up.
I had classes twice today, and I actually laid down a bit in between classes. Jeff had the tv on and had some movie on something about people that had jumped off a boat and they forget to lower the ladder so they were stuck in the water, of course they started fighting and several drowned and all that, the movie was fictional, but man it sure made ya wonder "what if". Although I doubt I will be out in the sea on a yacht and if I was, would I get out in the ocean? No, so I could lower the ladder for everyone, and be the hero. But the movie ended and you were like "are they dead? are they alive?" I hate movies like that, it is like I wasted 2 hours of my life…I could have been napping…ha!
I whipped up a quick easy card after everyone left class tonight. I love this set, and I love kraft and a touch of white on the edges, and red and kraft is beautiful. So here's a simple but pretty card.
Stamp Set: Herb Expressions
Paper: Kraft, Whisper White, Real Red Textured paper
Ink: Basic Black, Certainly Celery, Real Red, Going Gray, White Craft
Misc: Polka-Dot Grosgrain ribbon
Cute eh?
So I finished the book Wicked, it was pretty good. I wanted to finish the book before I went to the play, and was not sure I would get it done…it's a big book, and not a super fast read. So anyway, I figure today, that yeah I wanna go to the play, Rhonda and I had talked about it a couple weeks ago, I asked MAMMa if she would want to go too, and she said yeah, and of course now it is sold out! Ha! That will teach me.
I am hoping that when I go to my BFF Tracy's house in PA some time, that she wants to take me to New York and we can see it there.
I guess I will just go out and buy the Wizard of OZ movie and watch it, don't laugh, but I have never seen this movie, I have seen bits and pieces of it when it comes on tv once in a while, but I have never sat and watched it from start to finish, so I really want to see it now.
Well I am hitting the hay, I gotta get up early to get ready for my last round of Parisian Breeze class.
I hope you have a great Monday, and thanks so much for stopping in!
It's sold out, really? I've been waiting for my husband to get back into town to go see it, and he got back two days ago.
I guess we'll take the chance and drive down to Gammage and buy them from a scalper.
:o(
And the book was so slow, I agree.
Di~ don't expect anything from Wicked to be in The Wizard of Oz! Wicked takes place way before Dorothy, and there is just that one tiny piece in the book, it it doesn't really match up…KWIM? I'm a huge Wicked fan, and have watched Oz several times..you do need to see Oz (and Wicked!!!), just thought I would comment on the "not matching up" aspect!
And darn you…you are slowly convincing me on the Herb Expressions set…even tho it has that one funky Shakeshere quote!
Sometimes here when they are sold out they offer another show….keep your fingers crossed. Vicki and I watched the Wizard of Oz when she was down a couple of weekends ago. It was on tv so we watched it while we were stamping!
Luv ya
Jax
P.S….didn't you live Wicked with an evil sister like me?
Diane, I think you should watch "Wizard of Oz" a few times because "Wicked'explains how certain characters came to be in "The Wizard of Oz". And there are little digs in Wicked that refer to The Wizard of Oz. I saw Wicked in May and want to see it again sooooo bad. I bought the soundtrack which has some of the dialogue in it. I'm wearing it out because I've listened to it a zillion times! I also met the author of Wicked and got him to sign my book. He is really a very nice man.
hey you girlie!! Lookie here…you get your arse over to PA and if your BFF does not take you – I will!! just checkin up on blogs and just scrolled down to here…so – just so you know…and bring the rest of those AZ gals… I didn't learn to drive NYC style for nuttin!! LOL
take care!
