Trish's World

The Crappy Movie Sunday gang was here yesterday, and we watched Gigli. I don’t know what to say except that it was really really bad. I usually can find something to enjoy about a bad movie, but this had NOTHING redeeming. NOTHING. Look, if Christopher Walken & Al Pacino can’t save a movie, it’s beyond [...]

On Friday, Dawn & I saw Inception. It was mind-bendy and sort of surreal, but really good. Worth seeing for sure. The plot is kind of twisty, so I think I’d actually like to see it again so I can really get the full effect. But I’ll wait for DVD for that. It was pretty [...]

Mikey & I had a splendid time at the beach. We spent most of Thursdayshopping in Ludington, but in the early evening we walked to the beach and flew our kites, which is always fun. Plus it was nice and windy so the timing was stellar. We stayed at the beach and watched the sunset over [...]

Mike & I went out for our usual Friday lunch last week, but we went to the new place downtown, Casa Bolero. I was super excited to try the tableside guacamole. Let me tell you, it was delicious, and well worth the $8. It tasted so fresh and just full of nom sauce. For my [...]

So I decided to finally share some of my art. Here are just a couple of things I’ve done recently that I don’t feel are totally awful. I know I’m not totally awesome, but I feel pretty good about my progress so far, and I’m still working on it.
The panther is pencil and charcoal, and the parrot [...]

The war between us and Monkey Tail rages on. The chipmunks have also decided to get in on the battle, and they have allied themselves with Monkey Tail, which is no surprise. Last week the suet cake ran out because Monkey Tail and the chipmunks are huge pigs and ate all of it. So of [...]

I forgot yesterday to mention that I made a French press cozy for Mike’s dad for Father’s Day. I think he really liked it, but the best part was when he opened it and immediately put it on his head thinking it was a hat. He sort of looked like a G. Anyway, I busted [...]

It was another busy weekend around here. On Friday Mike & I spent all day cleaning and doing yardwork to get ready for a birthday party we were throwing for my sister on Saturday. We managed to get the yard looking really nice and the inside was all sparkly too. We even managed to get [...]

First things first – I updated my beer list. It had been a while, so there are lots of new ones listed. I’ve had 75 beers! Only 225 to go!! We are heading out tonight so I can cross off a few more.
Last Friday we went to Grand Rapids to help Alexis celebrate her graduation. [...]
