Wrap it up!

Happy Friday!

I am still trying to get through the First Loves Blogfest list. I'm determined to get further with that list than I did with the A to Z list.

***

I received a lovely blog award yesterday from Gossip_Grl. Thank you so much.



I tried not to look it up, I did, but I really wanted to know why Kreativ was spelled that way.




Turns out it's from a blogger from Norway and it was more of a hands on scrap book kind of creative than anything else.

It appears the rules on her blog are different too. I say appears because I don't speak, read or write Norwegian.

But, you guys know me well enough to know that I don't follow rules anyway.

So, I'm just going to say Thank You to Gossip_Grl and leave it at that.

I'm hoping to get right back into my story this weekend. This week has been very hectic. Doing some 'work for pay' work and hosting a blood drive has kept me from getting the words from the notebook into the laptop. Must make some progress soon before my brain explodes.

***

I did get to see The Avengers last weekend.

So. Freakin'. Good.

I won't post a lot of information here for those of you who haven't made it out to see it yet.

I'll just say...go see it.
Go see it.
Go now.
GO!

It was just the right balance of story to action. Great dialogue. Great acting by great actors. Great laughs.

It was everything I expected from Mr. Joss Whedon and yet so much more.

Really. I'm not even up-selling. (Go see the movie)

Well...that's all I've got. (Go see the movie)

I hope y'all have a great weekend. (Go see the movie)




Well? Did you GO yet?

  1. "I say appears because I don't speak, read or write Norwegian." - That gave me a chuckle!
    Really glad I inserted the exact links for the blogfest as quite a few people are still exploring the list.
    And the Avengers was the PERFECT balance. Whelon rocks. Seeing it again next weekend.

    I'm still working my way through the First Loves Blogfest posts, too. I'm hoping I'll get done this weekend--but not going to count on it. :)

    Have a nice weekend!

  11. I will be writing this weekend too (after not writing enough this week). I really want to see the movie, but I can't until I get these chapters written.

    I was desperately looking for a mother's day present for my mom last Sunday - I got her a gnome! :) I'm so tired, I have no idea if I already left that as a comment earlier in the week.

  12. Your reaction to Avenger's was the same as my daughter's and yes, I will go to see it asap! Doing a blood drive is ALWAYS a good thing to do so don't beat yourself up about not writing. Life should come first in situations like that. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I like your blog! Fun and interesting. I'll be back!

  13. Alex – Thank you. You’re blogfest is so much fun. It’s like getting a sneak peek into someone’s headspace! Great idea…as usual.

    Dana – Thanks. It would be great if I could finish the list but not sure it’s gonna happen. We do the best we can, right?

    L. Diane – Thank you! Yes, I agree. Excellent.

    Donna – Thank you. It’s a great list of people too!

    MJ – I hadn’t been out to the movies in so long. I waited for The Avengers for a year. It really is worth the theater. It’s big. But, I’ll be out to get the DVD first thing too!

    Nancy – Thank you! This award seems to be making the rounds. It’s sweet of someone to think of me. The movie is heading up the list to break more records too!

    Angela – Make it happen, Angela! I believe in you!

    Kela – I definitely want to hit a few more on the list. Thank you!

    Clarissa – Go see it! Now!

    Heather – I’m so nosy. I just have to look some things up! : )

    Tonja – I love that you got her a gnome! Did she like it?

    Lisa – Thank you so much! Yes, go see the movie! It’s a few hours well spent! And welcome!

    Thanks everyone!

  20. Congrats on the award! Everyone's talking about The Avengers and I feel left out because I won;t be able to see it until it come out on video. :( Never follow the rules, which is the first rule of writing...damnit...that's another rule. Let's never speak of this again.

  24. I'm one of those weirdos who was a bit underwhelmed by the Avengers. But then a friend pointed out that compared to all the other Marvel movies, there was very little to complain about. True, that, but not sure it's a good enough reason to give the movie 5/5 stars. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it...but it still had a certain cheese factor.
