Two Things of Immense Importance (ha)

-
#1:  Happy St. Patrick's Day, lovelies!!!  

 St. Patrick's Day (or St. Paddy's Day, as we often call it) has always been a pretty big thing in our household, since we're all slightly Celtic-crazed;)


We'll probably have a small family party later tonight, with lots of potatoes and music and such, haha.  Do you all have anything particular you do for St. Paddy's Day?:)


#2:  A little schedule for you

I just wanted to be honest with you all and say this - for the next couple of posts, I'll probably be alternating every other post with a book tag.  Sorry, sorry!  But…I just really love a good book tag, and there are a few out there right now which I'm really looking forward to filling out.  

Another reason - ahem - is that I'm a bit hard-up for post inspiration right now.  Ideas?  I'd appreciate them, I can assure you.

Random sweet picture.  Because Henri and Danielle.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and yours! We don't do anything special over here, other than I cook corned beef and cabbage for my sister and me, who are the only two who like the meal. Not exactly traditional, though, cuz boiled cabbage sucks, so I always do stir-fried cabbage instead. Much tastier. LOL! We might watch Darby O'Gill and the Little People, for the fun of it!

    Book tags are fun!

      Haha, that sounds delicious!

      Yes, I think we're planning on watching "Far and Away" tonight, in celebration, haha;)

      Boiled cabbage doesn't suck! We have corned beef and boiled cabbage once a week all month long to celebrate :-9

    Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too! We don't do much in our house really. My girls wore a bit of green to their dance class last night and we went out to dinner....so I suppose you could say we did that a tad early for the holiday! I don't think it is anything to say sorry about for wanting to do book tag posts. It's your blog, write about what you want to...otherwise it ends up not being fun!

      Ah, yes, we usually wear green, too:)

      Thanks! That's what I was thinking; I just wanted to be sure people weren't getting TOO bored;)

    Oh, and you could always start writing up more of that quote quest scene, turning it into a story to share on here.

    Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm also a bit Celtic-crazed....I think if you have any Irish blood in you at all, you feel it. ;-D Are you Irish at all?

    Apologizing for book tags? What is this? ;-P For the record, I don't mind a bit!

      Haha, yes, I'd agree;) Yup! As far as I know we've got Irish and Scottish blood;)

      Heehee, good:D

    Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day! Although I have Irish in my family as well, we don't really do anything for it. I didn't even wear green -gasp-. Although I DID buy a Celtic Woman cd from a thrift store yesterday...I guess that counts for something, hahaha. Have you heard their version of Amazing Grace? It's soooo beautiful.

      Haha, that totally counts! (Plus--a Celtic Women CD!!!!) I'm not sure if I've heard that version or not, but I'm sure it's incredible! I LOVE their rendition of "O Holy Night." If you've never heard it, YOUTUBE IT NOW. I mean, wow. When I first heard it, I thought I'd been taken up to glory, if ya know what I mean. IT IS SO HEAVENLY.

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewin...

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capul...

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would ...
