Blah blah blah....

I was going to complain - it's been another one of those weekends - (hubby's been sick, and I spent the weekend in the kitchen as usual) but I decided I don't even want to go there - I just want to run off to fantasy land instead and talk about the outrageous!
So for starters - I finally got a chance to see the movie "Marie Antionette" a couple of weeks ago. Wow! ...I'm not sure I liked the story that much, it was a little weird - and I hate it when they start to lead you off in one direction, and then they totally shift gears and go another way (have you seen "The Queen"? ...that one does the same thing - very annoying!) ...but anyway - whether you like the story or not, to me it was worth seeing because THE CLOTHES! - and THE SHOES!!! Oh my goodness! they were gorgeous!
I saw that they won an Academy Award for that - it was well deserved! (Loved the scenery too!)



Thankfully, you don't have to see anyone lose thier heads in the film - that is just implied at the end as you see them ride off to thier "doom." I think the whole point of the story can be summed up in one line - when the King dies and the son (Marie Antoinette's hubby) says - "God help us - we're too young to rule" (or something like that - my memory sucks!)

Speaking about frivolous - I told my daughter tonight, that I was going to start planning her wedding (this is not an announcement - she's not even dating, but I want to - ok?)
It's going to be rich fall colors for the flowers, The cake will be part chocolate, part rice krispy treats, and her gown is going to be a mideval - Lady Guinevere type gown....with beaded satin flip-flops.
She'll have a wreath of flowers with dangly ribbons down her back. We'll have a mandolin player, and strolling madrigals - and for sure a bagpiper - maybe even a court jester.
Hmmm.... maybe I should just go to the Shakespear Festival and get this out of my system!

*I finished reading "Twilight" this week, and made the mistake of reading the teaser for the sequel - when she's at her birthday party, and gets a paper cut, and all the vampires catch a whiff of it and pile up on her - so not fair! Now I have to read book 2!

Anyway, hope everyone had a Happy April Fool's Day!
(Can't believe it's April already!)
