TGIF!

Waking up at 4am.........

Listening to the birds sing like they were putting on a concert (I had to close my window)..........
Laying next to a man who snores soooooooooo loud (I am sure the neighbours hear him)........

Makes me feel like this...........

Little Red Wagon #29

Happy Wednesday everyone! Here is my card for Joanne's 'put a window in it' challenge.

I made a standard size card out of white cardstock and used a circle Nestie to make a window in the front of the card. I cut a slightly larger circle out of blue cardstock and placed it inside the card so it would show through the opening. I pierced holes around the outside of my circle to define it a bit.

I used the stickers from the May Bouquet collection from Pebbles Inc and one of their double-sided pattern papers to make the pinwheel.

I have also entered my card in the following challenges:

Movie Night!

Tonight was movie night and we went to see Letters to Juliet! This movie is about 'Sofie' and she visits Verona with her soon-to-be husband . She spent a lot of time alone while he was off meeting with suppliers for the new restaurant that he was going to open in New York!

She is a 'fact finder', but her real passion is to write. While her fiance was off tasting wine and cheese, she visited the house that supposedly Shakespeare's Juliet lived in. Below the balcony, women would come and leave notes to Juliet....for advice.....like a Dear Abby type thing. The letters were gathered up each day and a small group of ladies that called themselves 'Juliet's secretaries' would answer these letters.

Sophie found a letter that had been hidden behind a brick for 50 years. The letter was from a sweet lady named Claire who had met a boy and fallen in love, but she let this love slip away and was looking for advice. Sophie answered the letter and then Claire arrived about a week later with her grandson, Charlie, to see if she could fine her lost love.......Lorenzo Bartolinis!

Sophie met Claire and tagged along on the journey to fine Lorenzo. As you might suspect, she realized that her relationship with her fiance was not going to work and she found herself falling in love with Charlie.

This movie makes you laugh out loud, touches your heart and makes you reflect on the 'Lorenzo Bartolinis' in your life. It is a beautiful, romantic movie and I give it a 9 out of 10!

......contintued!

So, to continue my story.............Jason did know the correct definition of minion! He shocked the heck out of me. He proceeded to tell us that he heard the word used on some of the cartoon shows that he watches (I know, almost 16 and still watching cartoons). I find in interesting that he learns it from TV, and not at school.

Jason quickly changed his statement and assured us that he would never be his brother's minion.

The definition of minion is..........

1. a servile follower or subordinate of a person in power.

2. a favored or highly regarded person.

3. a minor official.

Thanks for playing along!

Define this.......

Okay, so at dinner the other night, Jason was telling us about his younger brother, Matt, and how he thinks that he is a geek (he likes computers and figures things out that he can't). As the discussion progressed (you don't need all those details), Jason told us that he was Matt's 'minion'.

At this point, Monty and I both looked at each other and I was the first to say 'what does minion mean'. Jason proceeded to give us the definition. I didn't think he had a clue what he was talking about, so I jumped up from the table and 'Googled' the definition.

I have to ask all my readers.........please be honest when you answer this.....don't look it up in the dictionary or Google it. Do you know what 'minion' (pronounced 'min yen') means? Leave me a comment.....I want to do a poll! I will wait a few days and see what sort or responses we get, and then I will post the definition and the rest of the story.
