What's Happening At Punkin's House
Not much going on around here of late. We finally got all the Christmas decorations put away yesterday. It has been a drizzly, cold day. Looking forward to next weekend because I get a 3 day weekend. Mark is busy working on so many projects at the house that I can't list 'em all. It's just work, work, work for me. Though, I am having a blast on Facebook. ~Punkin 2/7-2010
Punkin's Movie Picks
I am a child of the television era. The television and the cinema provide a great way to escape the cares of the world. That is why I tend to prefer movies that are far removed from real life. I have watched very few dramas in my life, and they do have their place, but give me fantasy anytime. The only genre of film that I do not like is horror. Oh, I like the old fashioned horror movies, but horror nowadays just tend to be a bit gory and nightmarish for me.
As I was thinking about what to write for this little space in the patch, I tried to remember my all-time favorite movies. The list grew and grew, until I realized there was no-way I'd have enough room to list them all, therefore, I've narrowed it down to my top 11 favorites. Here they are in no particular order: Big Trouble in Little China, Buckaroo Bonsai, Moonstruck, The Fifth Element, Vibes, Labyrinth, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Lara Croft - Tomb Raider, The 10th Kingdom and Romancing the Stone, Howl's Moving Castle; Enchanted.
Recently viewed movies:
Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs - **** Mark and I laughed all the way through this one - it's a keeper
9 - *** Sci-FI fans will love it. It was a bit deep and dark for me. I needed to watch something funny after this to brighten my outlook on life.

Punkin's Musings
Facebook has it's pro's and con's. So much of my free time is spent there nowadays. Mark has quit playing most of the games and is concentrating on FarmVille. I feel I've almost been consumed by it. My favorite games are: YoVille, FarmVille, Farm Town and Superpoke Pets. I'm really into YoVille and have decorated my apartment for Halloween. I realized, the other day, that these games are good for the creative side of us all. I can decorate, re-arrange things and "buy" new stuff to my hearts' content. I believe that is why I am so attracted to this new web phenom! I've re-connected with cousins, old friends and made some new friends. I have read that one way to stay young is to broaden your network of friends. I intend to keep "young" by keeping up with all the news and making new friends via Facebook. ~Punkin 10/12/09
Punkin's Dreams and Stuff
I've become so enthused with YoVille on Facebook! It lets me bring out the decorator and girly side of me. I just wish I could transfer all the neat outfits I have in YoVille over to my real closet. I finally broke down and ordered some new clothes for Fall. It is getting more and more difficult to find casual office attire within my size, taste and budget. When the clothes came in, I realized I'd ordered nearly everything in brown! The new Fall Fashion colors are mostly in the cool category and I prefer warm - so my choices were quite limited. Add to the fact that I'm short and round and it's near impossible to find anything I like. Most all tops are long sleeved, so my only option is to find 3/4 sleeve tops - they are long sleeve for me. Next up - new shoes - oh me! It is almost impossible to find what I need and like in my size of 5 to 5-1/2 WW. Why couldn't I have been an average sized person! ~Punkin 10/12/09
