Good 48ยบ raining morning. Rained hard in the night. We got
3/4" of that wet stuff so far. Looks like it might taper off a bit. Pressure
going back up.
Boy howdy did the wind blow yesterday. Rained, hard at times too. All just for Sami and her birthday! LOL We (Brian, Jen, Tucker, Sami, Grandma Jean, and I) all went to Tap Rock for breakfast yesterday to celebrate with Sami. Here is the Smilebox I made... but first here is a picture of Sami 5 years ago... she was saying "sushi"!
Here are both celebrations on the Smilebox...

Watched the Oscars last night. That Jennifer Lawrence gal who
fell on the steps on her way to get her Oscar last year
tripped and fell on the red carpet this year.

Hmmmm.... either a clutz or can't walk in heels or
snorts/smokes something!
Then there was the 81 year old Kim Novak... OMG.
Here are some tweets re her look...
Luke:"Sorry, but Kim Novak's plastic surgeon should be sued
for malpractice."
Bob:"And the winner for special effects, Kim Novak's plastic
surgeon."
Billy:"You know what guys, Kim Novak is 81 and she didn't fall
down twice, unlike some other people I know."
Matty:"Anybody else find it ironic that Kim Novak gave Frozen
the Oscar?"
Not only is her face frozen she acted like she's had a stroke!
And next .... Goldie Hawn... another plastic surgeon rip off! Her lips just
look weird!
There was a lot of other stuff I wasn't fond of... the songs from the movies and how they were presented... Ellen romping around in the audience and taking "selfies" and distributing pizza. And Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club????? REALLY? Come on.............. There is more, but I'm done with "I'm wonderful I got an Oscar".
All I know. Gotta catch up today. Too much weekend partying...
Nuff said. Ciao.
