MUSINGS FROM THE BASEMENT

No, that is not snoozing from the basement, it is musing.. We just watched The Hills have Eyes, and now i wonder if i want them, .. wow those were disturbing Hills, not like us Hills who are not disturbing at all, but normal, everyday, run-of-the-mill, types, you know.. .. anyway.. on with my musing or whatever.
In a somber moment, i was reflecting on the nature of horror movies and what they are as of late. Back when you all were kids, the horror was a little more hockeier and laughable, like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, or The Blob, or the old favorite Creepshow with the Zunni warrior, that Jon and i used to think was so funny. I did enjoy the horror shows, as they were called back then and they seemed to do no harm. The same is not true of the horror movies of today.
I admit i am getting old and being in the basement has probably narrowed my view of the world, but in watching that movie, and ones like Saw and Texas Chainsaw massacre, i wonder what have i created in the watching of horror movies. I love the time we spend as a family together and i like to think i can handle a lot of gore and disturbing content, but i must admit, in my musing, that i do not enjoy it as much as i used to.. Not that i don't love the time with family because i do, so very much, but i must admit, my limit of gruesome has reached it's limit.. Sorry guys, i am going soft and squishy, and you can call me whimp or whatever..
Just my musings from the basement.
So much for episode three.
Oh, by the way .. the t-shirt contest i know it was hard because everybody was so busy, but Justin, thank you, you are the official winner.. Thanks so much for changing the format.. i am so hoping i am going to have enough time to finish the t-shirts. i have bought t-shirts for everyone and plan on embroidering on them just before we go. Thanks again for the entries. Bryan ,, The Hills have Eyes, was considered, but after watching the movie, was sadly rejected.. Sorry. Love ya..
Love to all

Ten minute picnic

Thank you, Janna.. She helped me figure this out to her bloggedly challenged mom.. Is that a word, bloggedly. I have learned that in the typing word that i live in there are all kinds of words that are actually words.. just in case you were wondering.
Wow, episode 2, now something witty.. Hmm.. it was sure great having Jon and Heather and family stay for the weekend. I am concerned for Jon's upcoming surgery as a good mother should be. .. LOL.. Mom is praying for you, Jon, keep me posted.
We had a very windy ten minute picnic., it was almost 11 minutes, but we shoved the last ham sandwich down and raced for the car. we are trying for the 9 minute flat picnic in a snowstorm, so we can be the best.. Anybody up for it.. anybody. anybody.. Jada, Heather,, Boo-boo.. Hello. . In case you are looking for me, i'm the wimp in the car.. lol.
I have had a few entries on the contest and they are great.. thank you.

That is all for episode 2, i guess.. love to all

DUH!!! I don't know what i'm doing.. HELLO.. is this for real.. Norman is that you.. Come home to mother Norman.... My first order of the day is a name a t-shirt contest. This is open to all family members and expires on March 23rd. The winner gets bragging rights and a free t-shirt and who knows i might throw in a too-prize.. This is for a logo that i want to put on our t-shirts for the upcoming picture at Easter, that i am sssoooooo much looking forward to.. (You all listen to mother now, if anybody is thinking of not coming, just talk to Norman..).. he will change your mind.. Now that i have put the fear in you..LOL. anyway the logo needs to say something cutsy or whatever about our family that i can embroider on a tee shirt, no, not a pillow, a tee shirt, so nothing too big..just a monogram type thing, .. you be the judge.. that is all I have to say.. expect to know what i am doing would be nice.
