Well, hello, there! Come on in. The coffee is still hot and fresh, so help yourself. You know me, I sleep in on Saturdays. Just poured my second cup and took my meds.
Isn't it beautiful today?! I can't believe we've finally had a full week of sunshine here in South East Texas. Pete and the fellows are supposed to be in from their four day camping & fishing adventure. Pete didn't really feel like going, but thought what the hay, he might as well be miserable with his friends as miserable at the house.
Last night, Hannah Bug and I rented all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and had homemade chocolate malts for supper. We watched one and a-half movies last night. Will finish that one up when she arises. I love the character Captain Jack Sparrow as portrayed by Depp. Always leaves people guessing whether he is brilliantly clever and disguises it with imitation insanity OR if he's a bumbling fool who just has uncanny luck. I believe and vote for the former.
This afternoon, there is a game day for the youth at church. Pizza, volleyball, horse-shoes, that sort of thing. Suppose we'll all try to make it over for that. Nice day for it.
Things at work have calmed down and begun to line out since all of our recent changes to our procedures. I'm glad that everything transitioned rather smoothly. Still calls for me to do a few extra steps in some of my data entry. Eventually, everything will work around until that isn't necessary, but it will take a rather long time.
So, what's up with you? Have you enjoyed your weather? Are you a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean? What about your work, how are things there?
First, let's get another cup of coffee.
The grandkids and I watched the Pirates of the Caribbean movies before we went to Disney World 4 years ago. I had never seen them and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed them. I first became familiar with Johnny Depp when he played on the TV show 21 Jumpstreet. He is a really good actor.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. I think Depp is one of, if not the best, character actor of the last 30 years or so. I have not liked every movie I've watched that he has been in, but to me his portrayal in each is spot on, interesting and unique.
DeleteYes it is a beautiful day. No coffee thanks, I wanted john to go with me to the new snow cone store on Main street but he won't get off the couch. I hear they have all kinds of unusual flavors. Enjoy the event at your church.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love a good snow cone! Funny, poor Pete, bad as he feels so much of the time will drag his self up to do something one of his man friends asks him to do, but will seldom do the same for me. Guess that is part and parcel of thinking his wife can understand more than others.
DeleteEven though I have all the movies on DVD, I've never watched any of them! I guess I should give them a try. Hhm...chocolate malts. I think that might make the movies watchable. I'll have to do something about both the malt and the movies!
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, the malts were so good!! I truly think anyone would really enjoy them. They are not your standard old fashioned pirate movies.
DeleteLast day of reasonable here before it gets really hot all next week. I hate heat and humidity.
ReplyDeleteBinge watching a movie series is fun though!
Yep, movie binges are great. Every so often Bug & I pick a series or a theme and let it go. Her Dad will walk through every so often if he is home and say, "Another darn movie?!!" Shake his head and walk off. ;)
DeletePizza... Hmmm... No, I guess I'm not in the mood. I'm trying to decide what I want for dinner, and nothing sounds good. But I can't keep eating cookies...
ReplyDeleteI don't see why you can't make cookies a meal, after all we made malts a meal. I figure if it's you meal you don't go over on calories as bad. ;)
DeleteHmm...chocolate malts for dinner sounds amazing :D Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose! Yes, the weekend has been relaxing and refreshing. Just what the doctor ordered. And the malt supper was wonderful!
DeleteWork has been pretty busy, but some of my other projects are winding down a bit, which is nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, malts for dinner, that sounds awesome!
Don't want to be too busy in the summer, you'll miss all the fun. And yes, I heartily recommend malts for dinner! It was fun, good and surprisingly filling.
DeleteWe've had some sticky hot weather but garden work needed done. Where's that coffee?
ReplyDeleteChocolate malts are a weakness of mine. Love them!
Right over there on the kitchen counter. Just be careful out in hot, sticky weather. Try to do things early or late or in the shade. Drink plenty of water.
DeleteI try to sleep in on Saturdays but never manage to sleep past 6 AM. I guess that is sleeping in since I usually get up around 5 AM during the week.

Oh, I'm an expert at sleeping in! I normally get up a little before 6:00 each morning, but I can sleep in till nine, ten and on occasion twelve or one!!
DeleteI did enjoy the Pirates of the Caribbean movies; I thought the first one was the best though :) Sounds like a fun time with the activity at church for the youth; I'm sure your daughter enjoyed it!
ReplyDeletebetty
I think the first may be my favorite, too. But I like Capt. Jack Sparrow in all of them. I think they all did, though they got a little hot. Think the next time they do something like that they need to start it about two hours later.
DeleteI'm late for the coffee, but that's okay and I missed the movie marathon. Can't go wrong with Mr. Depp as Captain Jack. He's a hoot. Sounds like a very fun weekend. I relaxed a lot in the pool - gosh, I love to swim. Then out to read a bit, and dip back in. That's where you'll find me now that the weather has gone summer on us. Work was nuts today........hope mine calms down a bit. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteThe pool in my ultimate relaxation spot and a big mediation and prayer spot for me.
DeleteI don't think I've seen the last movie of the pirates series. I saw the first 2 for sure and loved them. Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are jus too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I love chocolate malts. We have a braums nearby and I ask for extra malt in mine. Yummy!
I bought ice cream, malt and Hershey's Syrup and we made our own in the blender.
