Well she doesn't really have a problem with the cats. It's more of the fact that my other neighbors feed them on their shared porch at night. So as soon as the sun goes down, the food attracts everything. Including a very mean raccoon and 2 very territorial skunks. You have to be extremely careful if you leave our apartment building at night. The owners have told them more than once to feed them around the back of the apartment but they won't listen and continue to feed them in the front.

Well then I can understand her concerns. I wouldn't really poison anyone. I guess everyone here knows that ....I just don't accept any meanness to animals xoxoxoxo

For some reason, I am very tired today. SIL and I shopped for groceries right after we shopped for ourselves! We picked up some of the lemon meringue and key lime marshmallows and will make the rice krispies squares later. Then we will make the Mississippi Mud Cake and mix up the ingredients for the rolls. We are going to Mass in Fresno tomorrow morning, do a little shopping at Bath and Body Works and then home to complete dinner. Not sure if I will have a chance to get back on or not. Have a Happy Easter, everyone!

I hope you get rested and that your Easter is wonderful ! Did you post the picture of the saint you told me about ? I may have missed it !! xoxoxo

You know, we talk about how at Christmas we get these feelings of being transported to another place and time...The Ten Commandments does that to me, also. I can remember watching this movie for years! There were a few years we watched it at my Nanny and Papa's house....there were years we watched it at home....and there hasn't been a year that I have been out of their house that I have missed it. This is as much a tradition to me as Christmas Eve....

Good times.

Time for bed. We watched The Passion of the Christ for Good Friday.

I still have yet to see that movie. I may not be much of a religious person, but I absolutely love religious history. Fact, like true stories of the people from the bible or how something came to be, or fiction like The DaVinci Code or Unholy Night. It just really piques my interest.

We have the duo DVD/VCR hooked up in our room. In the den we have a separate VCR and DVD hooked up in there. There are some things that I want on DVD and replace the VHS so it's easier to look up chapters but a lot I will not replace because the VHS works just fine. Then, of course as you mentioned, there are some that cannot be found on DVD yet.

Xmas365, you might check out thrift stores or pawn shops for a VCR. They might still sell the duo set ups at some department stores.

I actually gave away all my VHS at one of our tag sales a few years ago, I think I have one left. It is one Seawaters would appreciate, a taping of The Move performing on Colour Me Pop. I can see it on Youtube, but I loved being able to pop it in the VCR and watching it whenever. I did get a DVD of The Move's live performances on a German show this past Christmas. I absolutely love that one.

Good morning, Christmas family

I am going to get ready here in a few minutes to go to my hair appointment. I am getting colored today and I am probably going to get some highlights as well. I am thinking something like this:

My hair is not this long and it is already "red" but I am thinking this might look nice but perhaps a little more subtle ??

Meanwhile, another hurdle passed in my "writing" career. I took the final quiz and got 100%. Now on to the FINAL EXAM. Arrrrgh. I know if I just take my time I can get 100. Also, I don't know what the teacher thought of my creative piece yet. I will find out soon I guess.
