Escaping, Just for a Moment

Do you ever have crazy thoughts run through your head, while your watching a crime drama?
You know, the cool car, cool toys and think

"I could do that".

Yeah, I’ll become a detective, or a crime fighter.

Why not? What’s stopping me?

Then you stop eating your tortilla chips and look around. Your eighteen year old cat just threw up a hairball in the corner of the room. Mr. Potato Head stares at you from the coffee table and you remember.
You remember you’re a 48 year old mother of a 4 year old with a pet sitting business. So, probably not cool enough.

But for a brief moment, the TV did what it’s supposed to do. Provide a temporary escape from the mundane everyday world around you.

So to "Burn Notice", "Leverage", "In Plain Sight" and others, thank you. Thank you for that moment.

Michelle Pfeiffer Aging Gracefully

Did you know Michelle Pfeiffer is 50? I didn't. Actually she is now 51. I have always like her work and she has a timeless face. Mother nature must agree with me because she looks terrific!

Her new movie "Cheri" arrives in theaters this summer, she plays aging French courtesan Lea de Lonval. I love historical stories with all the costumes (I've become a loyal fan of The Tudors), this one is set in the 1920's Paris.

It's the story of an extremely wealthy courtesan who falls in love with the son of another courtesan, a young man with some questionable character traits. Sounds like a lot of bawdy romantic summer fun to me, just what I need!
