For your possible interest I’ve got about 200 favorite movies on our DVR stored in a variety of folders, titled “Keepers,” “Sleeping Movies,” “Musicals,” “SciFi,” “Andy Hard-on” (the entire Andy Hardy series starring Mickey Rooney), “Day/Kaye” (Doris Day and Danny Kaye), “Powell/Loy” (William Powell and Myrna Loy), “Jimmy Stewart,” “Mysteries” and “Christmas.”
Thank you.
The two collections pictured above only cost $1.79 each. That’s a lot of inspiration for very little money, isn’t it? Here’s a ritzy example of an aqua Shimmer Glitter texture in action. Pretty … am I right?
It’s 12:42 a.m., the wee hours of Tuesday morning, and I just finished watching a fine movie … Trumbo (2015) starring Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane and Helen Mirren. It’s the true story of Hollywood’s top screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted and imprisoned during the 1950s for his progressive (i.e., Communist) political beliefs. If you’re not familiar with this period of American history, you really need to see this film.
In other news … today is EAT AND BE HAPPY DAY at Howdygram headquarters! We had another amazingly excellent day in the stock market yesterday, so Sam said he’d go to Scotty P’s (his favorite hamburger joint) for lunch today, and I can order myself a treat from China City … specifically, Steamed Dumplings, a container of chili sauce and a large Hot And Sour Soup. Yay!
Scotty P’s is probably Sam’s favorite restaurant here in Texas, and his go-to menu items are always the Hatch Chile Burger (hatch chiles, pepper jack cheese and onion strings) with a side order of their house made hand-battered onion rings.
I used to love Scotty P’s just as much as Sam does, but there isn’t a location near Howdygram headquarters and the food doesn’t “travel” very well across town. Sam eats at the restaurant at Firewheel Mall in north Garland, which is maybe a 35-minute drive. (Onion rings to-go can get seriously soggy in 35 minutes.)
TUESDAY. Saw my hospice L.V.N., Leslie, this afternoon for a weekly checkup. My oxygen level was fine (96%), my temperature was fine (97.4°), and my heart rate was fine (73). My blood pressure, however, was slightly elevated (139/74) due to coughing up a lung from allergies and a post-nasal drip. Also … Sam has an appointment with the hospice chaplain tonight at 7:30 p.m. Typically they sit in the living room and mutter to each other while I lie in the family room watching “Bar Rescue” reruns.
WEDNESDAY. My C.N.A. will be here at 10:30 for a routine bathing and hygiene session, and sometime around 5 p.m. I’ll ask Sam to pick up an order for me from China City because we had to postpone Tuesday’s Eat and Be Happy Day.
THURSDAY. Most likely, Sam will finally get his hatch chile burger from Scotty P’s today.
FRIDAY. I’ve got another bathing and hygiene appointment this morning with my hospice C.N.A.

My life is certainly a whirlwind of fun and frivolity, isn’t it?
I have an urge to design some iPhone cases now. Thank you for reading this, and please remember the Alamo for me because I’ll be busy for a while.
