Fabulous and Over 40

December 1, 2016 4 Comments

Now that I’m in my 40s, I tend to find myself drawn to actresses over 40. They have a maturity, yet a young and playful side to them, that I find appealing and down-to-earth. Wendi McClendon-Covey. Melissa McCarthy. Octavia Spencer. Amy Poehler. Debra Messing. These beautiful women are some of the most incredibly talented and funny women in movies and television today… and they are all fabulous and over 40! They have starred (separately, and sometimes together) in some of my favorite movies and TV shows. Wendi and Melissa co-starred in the all-female hit Bridesmaids, but I love Wendi as the sexpot […]

Jobs I Want To Try Some Day

October 21, 2016 1 Comment

What is your dream job? What job would you like to try, if only for one day? Do you love your job, but wish you could do something else as well? Let me start today’s post by saying that I really enjoy my job as a Registered Medical Assistant. I enjoy those I work with, and I enjoy the job in general. I’ve been a Medical Assistant since 2002. I guess you could say that it is now more than a job… it’s a career. That being said, I still think of myself as that awkward 20-something young lady, fresh […]

Movie Remakes I Want to See

October 14, 2016 No Comments

I was watching Pitch Perfect the other night and Skylar Astin’s character, Jesse, was bragging to Anna Kendrick’s character, Beca, about movies with great soundtracks and he mentioned The Breakfast Club. The song, “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds, is awesome, and I love the part in that movie when Judd Nelson triumphantly thrusts his fist up into the air as the credits began to roll. This same song was “mashed up” with another song in Pitch Perfect and was performed by Beca (Anna Kendrick) and the Barden Bellas. I won’t reveal any more details in case you […]

“School of Life” is a Good Lesson on Life

September 8, 2016 No Comments

I stumbled upon a movie on TV the other night starring the handsome, and now married, Ryan Reynolds. I’ve been smitten with Reynolds since Two Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place. The movie I’m writing about was a made-for-TV movie titled School of Life (2005) and starred Reynolds as Michael D’Angelo. It also starred David Paymer as Matt Warner, John Astin as Matt’s father, Norman Warner, and Andrew Robb as Matt’s son, Dylan Warner. School of Life is about a teacher who moves to a town and shakes up the old school way of doing things. Before I get into the details of […]
