Yet Another Life Lesson and Star Struck

First the life lesson - Don't stab yourself with a knife. If you want to separate frozen hot links with a paring knife, don't hold them in your non-dominant hand while you stab at them with your dominant hand (holding the paring knife). Don't! Put them down. Put. Them. Down. Now. Have a frozen pizza or something that doesn't involve a paring knife. Lesson done.

Now for the exciting news! They are filming "The Killer Inside Me" here in little, old Guthrie, Oklahoma! Have heard through the grapevine (i.e. my Mother-in-Law who works at my bank in downtown Guthrie) that movie people are staying at the Stone Lion Inn, a bed and breakfast on the west side of Guthrie, near the filming site. Of course have seen hide nor hair of anybody. I remember when they were filming "Twister" here (OMG! ages and ages ago!), I saw their caterer buying food at the Homeland grocery store, God! how snotty was he?! Seeing as how my life generally goes from home to Stillwater and back, the only time I'll see the stars, will be in the movie itself. sigh.

Oh and finished a book called "The Court of the Air" by Stephen Hunt. Very Good.

Mother's Day Bites

I see all these ads and flowers, plants, cakes, jewelry, etc., and I just want to cry. Nothing like that is going to happen to me. My son is in Japan, or else somewhere on his ship. But even if he was here, he doesn't remember my birthday and it's two days before his! He is a good kid, but he is a guy. Hopefully, at some point in his life he'll get involved, if not married, and the significant other will remember all those dates. So I'll get something for my mother-in-law. I've got some ideas. I know I'm just being a whiney baby. It would just be nice to be remembered.
