The worst thing about a slow death is that it steals from you memories of who the person was before they started dying. So I am going to write a post that remembers the whole Grandpa, not just who he was these last few weeks
Continue readingHappy Monday!!! Saw Grandpa yesterday, his teeth look big. Which I remember as a Death thing. That’s fun. And today I have my annual Lady Doctor appointment, which is NOT fun. Being a woman is uncomfortable sometimes. And thus ends Margaret’s Oversharing Section
Continue readingI was already thinking about this as a fanfic and then I realized it was Helen’s birthday! So it’s EVEN MORE perfect!!!
Continue readingAnother WatchAlong winner! I’m telling you, it is KEY. But also, I never have more than 5 people on a watchalong, and we’ve got like 9 weeks, so you can still win.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am fighting my feelings of stress and sadness and so on with LOTS OF CHRISTMAS. Our whole household is going to a Christmas tree farm this afternoon, this morning I am going to put up lights in front of the house, and I have a stupid holiday TV movie going while I do a Christmas puzzle right now. CHRISTMAS! Jesus was born to make me happy!
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaay! Friday WatchAlong! I did work all morning, ran an errand, then came home and had a nap, and now I am all settled in for this movie! And I will NOT fall asleep (as I tend to do when we have Friday afternoon watchalongs).
Continue readingOkay, two good movies and one bad, that’s a fair trade off. I can live with that.
Continue readingWoot! Preity, Rani, Salman, crazy plot, fun songs, SWITZERLAND! It’s all the 90s/early 2000s happiness at once.
Continue readingWe have to, right? And it is the cheerful light silly and yet easy to find on streaming services movie I was looking for!
Continue readingPeople Magazine is just so smart. Their “Sexiest Man Alive” issue concept is brilliant, and releasing it right before SUPER STRESSFUL Thanksgiving is extra brilliant. Anyway, I am borrowing their idea 🙂
Continue readingHappy (?) Wednesday! My Grandpa is hitting a long low slow really bad patch in his dying process, and it’s overcast and yucky, and my allergies are exploding. EVERYTHING IS HORRIBLE!!! Thank goodness I am buying a Christmas tree this Saturday.
Continue readingHelp! I need something soothing and sunny and happy this Friday! What should it be???
Continue readingNo real reason, busy at work, hormonal, can’t seem to get enough sleep. Let’s look at dog sweaters together!
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, week 2!!! And we are fully into November now, so it feels a little less silly. Also, sorry this is a day late, I went OUT on Saturday night. Into THE WORLD. And then I was sleepy on Sunday.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a wild weekend (thus missed Saturday Small Talk), and now I am at work, and running my dishwasher a million times (part of the wild weekend was doing a lot of cooking and using every dish).
Continue readingThis is SUCH a good episode! At least, I think so. I hope I encouraged some of you to watch it, and I hope you got a lot out of it.
Continue readingGood Morning! I am ready! I got my google chrome toggle working, my coffee is percelating, the dog got to go in the backyard, life is good! Let’s do this! Margaret watching a movie for the first time on a watchalong!!!!
Continue readingHappy November! The DCIB Christmas GiveAway has started, of course, because DCIB Christmas starts as soon as SRK Day is over. But what about the other signs of Christmas? My new shared household is having a debate related to “when does Margaret get to put up decorations all over the yard”. This is following my dawn raid the day after Halloween which removed all Halloween decorations and replaced them with a Christmas tree. The Christmas tree is allowed, but Halloween is still up also, and we are debating as to when I get to put up all my other stuff and finally hide Halloween in the basement where it belongs.
Continue readingThis is scary! Watching a new-to-me movie for the first time on a watchalong. What if I don’t like it? Or, what if I like it so much that I forget to comment?
Continue readingBeing a veteran is such a complicated thing. And being a veteran of a war fought on behalf of the colonial forces over your country adds a whole other layer of complication to it. How do we deal with that? “We” meaning those people who owe a debt to the folks who served?
Continue readingHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Yes, you get to pick the movie this week. But also, you get a birthday post!
Continue readingWelp, not a great movie! I can describe the plot in about 3 sentences, no twists or surprises, and just not the best way to bring up the questions it wants to bring up. But I want to bring up those questions! So this is a review/discussion post.
Continue readingIt’s 25 minutes of your life! It won’t kill you! And you need to know nothing about the background of the show to enjoy this particular episode and also get something from it.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!!! I woke up EARLY today! It was GREAT! I went on a little driving adventure to drop off an SRK Birthday gift at a friend’s house before work and felt all awake and happy instead of depressed and sleepy.
Continue readingThe follow up to the mean post! What celebrities do we just like, for no reason related to their careers?
