Gay Oscars

Well, the nominations are out and what an upset!!! Brokeback Mountain leads with 8 nominations. This movie has received alot of buzz because it is a movie about 2 cowboys who are gay and must keep their life a secret. YAWN! and YUCK! I don't judge people for the type of life they choose, but I don't want to celebrate it either. Now the actors can recieve their awards, I'm sure they did a good job, but for the movie to win Best Picture? I have a strong feeling it will. So many democrats and liberals are so freaked out about the Alito ordeal, the war in Iraq, President Bush in general, that by having a gay themed movie win Best Picture will give them a reason to yell "HA!" in our general direction.
So it comes down to this. Oscar night, March 5th. I will be watching the Academy Awards. I will be guessing the winners like I always do. I will be rooting for Walk the Line for all its categories, and who knows what box I'll check in the Best Pic category. Walk the Line was not nominated. Another very big upset. The biggest award I will be watching for is Best Actress in a Leading Role. I am hoping with all my heart it is Reese Witherspoon. I have watched her career very closely for one reason. We auditioned for the same part in the movie Man in the Moon. Obviously she got it, and I didn't. They made the right choice. Now she is up for an Oscar. THAT COULD'VE BEEN ME!!! Ok, probably not, but I can dream right?

Home sweet home

Ok, it's been a long trip. For two months I have been away from home and I am proud to say that I survived. My family sacrificed and put up with a moody prego chick who was missing her hubbie. My sister bought my car (Precious will be missed) and my folks drove me and my son home to Florida. Now I am alone again, except for friends, the church, and the airmen at the shop, well some of them. I am keeping myself busy with projects around the house until the love of my life returns. Buck is super busy, making many trips to a different site that I cannot say. He is there now so I am unable to communicate with him. It is now a waiting game until he is back where he can use a phone or internet. He sent this photo and when I showed Caimen he smiled and yelped, "DADDY!!!" Don't worry, the flood insurance covered the damage from the numerous tears that flowed from my eyes.

A New Year!

As I pondered for about 2 1/2 minutes on what my New Year Resolutions will be I thought about the ones I had last year and if I achieved any of them. I know I wrote them down somewhere. I don't even remember what they were. I will just call it 'mission accomplished'. After all, I did improve a lot last year. 2005. We were living in Biloxi, Mississippi. I wanted a hobbie to keep me sane so I started birding. In April we moved to Florida where we evacuated during hurricane Dennis and we weathered tropical storm winds from Katrina which destroyed our old Biloxi home. We got pregnant with #2, moved into a three bedroom house on base, and then Buck deployed. No matter what my resolutions were last year, I would say we are doing ok. Now onto this year. What do I want to do better? My job. Not just the mommy thing, but the housekeeping thing. I have never been a good housekeeper and since my life goal is to own a bed and breakfast I figured I better get crackin' at it. So where do I start? I looked online and found a great website to help teach me how to keep a better house, www.flylady.com. This year I will learn how to clean better, organize better, and in return be happier. Now that it is published, I suppose I better do it.
