Pauline's Happenings

Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who are braver then me………..grin

Well, I finally got my root canal Friday.  Until I get it capped and a crown, I still need to eat with one of my mouth, but I can now have cold drinks and ice cream without waiting to die.  My jaw was just sore for a few days.

Otherwise I have been working….the normal.  Been riding my bike from work more, just trying to get some exercise in when I can.

The reason for all the Kate movies on TCM :  Legendary actress defined ‘classy’   Looks like there is another biography I need to get.  =)

I think Time mag was correct in listing Cate Blanchett is continuing in her tradition, you don’t have many of those classy actress anymore.

I really don’t much more to say.

Harold told me a few days ago that I need to take some time for myself on my few days off.  So I’ve been stopping to read a little here and there.  I’m trying to do a little before crashing at night, caught up on one of my mags around a 15 min nap this afternoon, and went to read about 9:30 this evening.

Well instead I got caught up in Katharine Hepburn’s autobiography documentary on TCM.  I’ve always loved her independence and I love to read about her.  As a feminist it is appealing, plus her mother fought for my right to vote and get birth control….which I love.   She is just a very interesting personality and that doesn’t even include her films.  I have a wish list of her films that I want to get : my all time favorite : The Lion in Winter  (I would love to get the 2003 remake The Lion in Winter with Patrick Stewart & Glenn Close) ; Bringing Up Baby  ; Adam’s Rib ; The Philadelphia Story; and of course, the classic Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner 

I know that there are probably more that I would enjoy but those are the top ones.

Hepburn’s spirit reminds me of my Great Aunt Evelyn.  Maybe that is why I throughly enjoy my time with her.  Melinda said when she saw Aunt Evelyn and me together that it was like watching the same person.

I got my nails done today, I tried to take a bit easier………still got some work done and things kept coming up.  I’ll have to refocus tomorrow.  What I really wanted to do today was to be able to spend some quality time with Harold…..but why every time I think we are going to do that and stuff comes up.  It is pretty discouraging.  =(   Oh well, at least we had Outback even if was carry out.  =)

I think I may just get some reading done, for pleasure….getting ready for the new HP book……….grin

I got quit a bit of stuff done today, so I was pleased. Still need to catch up our receipts from the trip, but not too bad overall since I got a bunch things done for the online store. I still have a bunch of things to do, such as add a ton of new product, but the immediate issues have been addressed.

I had today off and the next 2. We were supposed to run away for a night, but with everything going on……wasn’t possible.

I know Harold has posted about the raccoons. Which reminds me……..I had to go check on them…the kits are gone. Mama didn’t abandon them, but there is the issue of stopping her from pooping in our pool. Maybe we aggravated her enough that she won’t be back, but we doubt it. There are only maybe 3 other pools in this neighbor hood, so we have a good water source.

When we picked up the cage today it was at the animal shelter…….very depressing. I made the mistake of going in with Harold, since I had the check book to put the deposit down on the cage. Oh boy……it makes me cry thing about it….all those cats, kittens…..so desperate for attention and love. Harold had me go back out to the truck and wait. We were both very sadden by what we saw………I’m not going to write anymore about it, makes me cry to think about it.

Then we have been frustrated and upset with mama raccoon. =( So afraid that she would lose some of the babies.

We went to the store; we haven’t been shopping since the week before we left. I then had a few other errands to run, including making sure that we have propane for our steaks. =)

But that was our day. Tomorrow I need to get my nails done, hopefully the wind will slow down so we can go roller skating…..I really want to do that.

I’m going get away from the pc for a few and do some reading.
