We Are Deep In the Heart of Texas

Nomadic seasons of farming adventures with nature thrown in to include; a pinch of family, snippets of friends, counting our blessings, paying IT forward, home school, and the spicy things I decide to rant about.

Have you noticed a lack of photo albums?

For Saenz, I kept a baby book during his first five years. Which is way cool to look back on and see how much he has grown.



For Zephyr, I am currently putting together -- not a baby book but, a photo album of his life. When I search Wal-Mart nothing but scrap booking supplies. Walgreens has these little 10 page (20 pics) photo albums which are chintzy and not worth the money at all.


Yes, I ordered a photo book mailed to my house but, gentle reader DO NOT waste your money. I am returning it for a complete refund. So, now is my quest to find a regular photo album to build Zephyr his own book of memories and treasure.


NOT A SCRAP BOOK. LOL!
Scrapbook maybe when he is around 12 years old and won't destroy the pages or 'memories' glued within.

G-Force, a movie review

This afternoon, I took the boys after blood work and a jaunt to Wally World of the Lost American Dollar, (ROFL) to see G-Force.

I had the feeling that neither my husband nor I would appreciate its merits because we had noticed how much it was being hyped as a block buster for the summer. Much to my premonition, this film is okay for children but adults will find it extremely predictiable.

The boys had no idea what a MOLE was or the implications (a character also in the film) yet, I figured out the ending before the middle of the movie. The graphics were excellent though, some of the HOW TOs were not properly thought out and thus made the film a little over the top.

What I do appreciate about this movie was there was no real sexual overtones. There was a male guinea pig who had a crush on the female guinea pig but, nothing came of it.

I would give this family movie a 3 Beaks up rating......... Or C+ for those not in the poultry know!

Thoughts from inside the coop.

Ice Age 3, Loved it worth a view

Again, this is a wonderful movie. This episode found Manny becoming a first time father while Sid the Sloth 'found' three eggs.

I loved the writing of this episode because the entire film was closely watched by both my sons ages 11 and 4. Not once did the movie stray enough from madcap adventure and the storyline stayed true to original form -- thus they did not get bored (bee bop inside the theather packed to the gills).

This is one movie I will be adding to our growing collection of child films. BUC is a new character in this film and my new fav after Sid the Sloth.

5 beaks up, and just in time for Christmas stocking stuffers. I hope!

(We seen this movie before vacation but, I am just getting around to my writings. Sorry)

Why is illegal immigration linked to MEXICANS?

Good Grief, I was just listening to the Honorable John McCain talk about illegal immigration reform on C-span.

The last time I checked, there are over 160 countries on this BLUE BLUE MARBLE. So, maybe the 'illegals' (WTF) are using Mexico border to enter this country are not necessarily of Mexican decent. To target Mexico and its citizens is just in poor taste with an elitist ideal of NOT IN OUR BACKYARD idealogy of seclusionism. The drug cartels are killing more Mexicans in order to get their product to WHITE COLLAR America. Target the people who are willing to use and sell the drug here and pay the cartels their blood money.


Mr. McCain get off your high horse and look around; those friends of yours (in the upper class) and their kids are paying for the 'mules' to move drugs into this country. The gangs in South America are a product of this country's need to medicate themselves into coffins.

And By the Way Mr. McCain you really need to start reading up more here is a start:

I got to say NO CA CA!

I read an article that rightly pisses me off:


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31908264/ns/health-womens_health/ns/health-womens_health/

YES I have had many run ins with military doctors while serving twenty years.

One of the worst doctor 'events' I had was with a doctor who wanted to give me a pelvic exam because I went in for an ear infection / chronic allergies.

Dude, tried to explain my ailment and the exam away this way using a metaphor:

"WOMEN'S BODIES are a highway connected to the genitals."

To which I replied rather forcefully and loud enough for the hallway to hear.

MY VAGINA IS A CUL-DE-SAC. ONE WAY IN, ONE WAY OUT. I TOOK BIOLOGY, MORON! I know, there is no road linking my ears to my genitals.

LOL!

GETS OFF SOAP BOX,
Please read the article
