You're So Random

[wannabmama]

I've never started a randoms thread...but I only slept about three hours last night and I need one as I try to get moving this morning. I'm hoping to enjoy the nice mild day we are supposed to have by taking our pups for a walk and having a fire in the backyard later.
What is everyone else up to today?!

[ladytiffany24]

We're just relaxing this morning. Taking my brother to our favorite BBQ restaurant for a late lunch. Then it's back here for red carpet coverage and the Oscars!

[onesweetworld]

Off to work.


Whomp Whomp.

[onesweetworld]

What time does the red carpet coverage start? That's pretty much the only reason I watch

Also, what are your thoughts on the list of people the winner thanks scrolling at the bottom of the screen instead of the winner reading them off a list?

The Countdown to the Red Carpet special starts at 2:30pm est. I watch that but it's not for everyone. The actual red carpet coverage (when the celebs will actually start arriving) with Ryan Seacrest starts at 5:30pm est.

I haven't heard much about the scrolling thank you's. Do tell. What is this that you speak of?

Sorry you have to work today onesweetworld!

I just woke up. H is making breakfast. We are going to church in a little while, and then I'm not sure what we are doing the rest of the day. We do need to plan our meals for the week and go grocery shopping.

I keep thinking about how badly you'd feel if you left someone off the thank you list that you totally had time to prepare ahead...you know like when someone forgets someone obvious "live" it's just they got caught up in the moment. But if they leave their spouse off the scrolling list they probably sent in a week ago? Ouch.

I have a major headache. I just want to stay in my pajamas and watch tv all day.

Supposedly when a winner is giving their acceptance speech a list of people they want to thank will scroll at the bottom of the screen instead of the winner naming each person. Apparently the hope is to shorten the length of the speeches and to actually get speeches instead of just a long list of names.

Here's an article from the Times that explains it better than me

time.com/4214427/oscars-thank-you-scroll-acceptance-speech/

Very interesting. I'm going back and forth on it.

On one hand, I get why they're doing it and it could certainly make for some more interesting speeches.

On the other hand, I love the spur of the moment feels that can create genuine moments and more heart felt thank you's.

Also, for some reason in my head I can just picture someone messing up in the back and the wrong list of thank you's scrolling on the screen.

Feel better kayladawn91 !

H and a friend are still working on fixing our leaky basement, so the friend's wife and I are having a Marvel movie marathon. Watching Iron Man 2 now. Hmm Stark.

I'm practicing some Facebook weaning. It's easier than expected.

I thought about making pancakes but had ice cream for breakfast instead.

I wanted French toast, local diner delivers! Delivery fee so worth it to not have cook and still have French toast, bacon, and eggs! They even bring syrup!?!

My mom got me an adult coloring book for my birthday yesterday. It's Harry Potter.

[kayladawn91]

It's going to be 54* today and then snow tomorrow night and Tuesday. Wtf.

I have the star Wars one and I love it.

I will be prepping for the Red Carpet like I do for a football game. We're having Buffalo Dip for dinner.

We have to finish clearing out the storage unit today, but I think we will be able to get that done and be home in time to watch the Red Carpet pre-show.

Happy Sunday all! We just got home, we were out of town with my parents for my birthday. Lots of shopping, eating, and drinking...so I'd say it was a perfect weekend!

[icedtea]

I'm contemplating day drinking, even though I should work out. Day drinking wins, right?

[ourcrazynavylife]

I'm up drinking my coffee. I swear my cat was trying to suffocate me this morning.
DH is still asleep. (Saturday's are my day and Sunday's are his day).
No plans. Just desperately need to do some homework

Good morning! I need to grocery shop but they don't sell wine until noon so I guess I'll wait and continue doing nothing. Stupid Texas.

I talked H into walking to a Mexican restaurant for brunch and margaritas

Does 4his truely need to be asked? Day drinking always. Besides they say a glass of red wine is the equivalent of an hour at the gym

I have a very defined bubble, but I want to hug you for reminding me of this.
