Advents Corner

As everyone knows I am in the title business and when it was booming we had a lot of people flipping houses to make a quick buck, well so they thought under the bottom fell out of the market and a lot of people were stuck with houses they did not live and could not afford. I found out today a new trend that is starting, land flipping. There is South Carolina land for sale and land in most states that people are starting to flip. I guess I just never thought about jumping on the band wagon.

Tanya and I were talking about Christmas gifts and she told me something so strange. This girl is just crazy. I told her I could buy her an everyday hand bag and she said really I don’t think I could do that for you because that is so personal. Then she follows that up with do you need underwear? I just looked at her dumb founded thinking she was joking but she was very serious. She feels that she knows me well enough to pick me out underwear. Of all of the things in the world, panties!! She thought I was pushing it by suggested I get her a purse and she wants to buy me underwear. This girl is so strange, and then she tells me I could get her shoes. I could not pick out shoes for her or anyone for that matter. I can not even bring home shoes for my daughter. Tanya said she wants a pair of sexy boots; all I could do was shake my head.

Easy Word Press is having a Six Crazy Christmas Giveaway and I have my eye on the Marshmallow Shooter for my husband.  They play with air soft guns at work and how cool would he be if he busted out with this thing.  It shoots up to 30 feet but the bad thing is his enemies could just eat his ammo and then we would be in a bad situation.    Take a moment and get your name in for the drawing.

Christmas is not the same without Same Auld Lang Syne.  It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to Dan Forgelberg.  He has lost his long battle with prostate cancer.  Please enjoy the video and song. 

One of my favorite Johnny Depp movie moments is in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when they walk into the room with all of the squirrels shelling the nuts.  Then he tells the little girl not to touch that squirrels nuts just made me crack up so much and then to find out she was a bad nut was just too much.  Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory is one of my all time favorite movies so to see Johnny Depp put his dark twist on it was just amazing.  Of course because I am old school I have to say that Platoon is a great movie but when they go through the village it was heartbreaking to know that they had to be faced with such trauma.  To see him as a translator in the middle of that chaos, showing the true mental anguish our soldiers when through was just heart breaking.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a funny take one an old classic but Platoon was a hard look at one of the darkest times in our history.  Now he lends his talent to another film with dark undertones as well.  I am very excited about this movie because not only does it have Johnny Depp in it but it is also a musical and it gives me and my oldest daughter a chance to get out and do something together.  Mark your calendars and visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site for trailers to the movie and vist Sweeney Todd on MySpace.
