    I’m not really here! I’m in Branson, having one last Branson-styled hurrah with Heather while she’s still a single woman. Many, many pictures (and videos) will be posted after I return. Until then…

    For the record, this would have worked on me (but I’m taken so nevermind). Let’s look at it. A serenade. ABBA. Umm…YES.

  • Pops!

    Oct 24, 2007 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Food, Photos, Recommendations

    A few months ago a new little place opened up on Route 66 where it passes through the northern edge of the Oklahoma City metro area. Pops. One of the neatest little places I’ve been to. Where else can you go and find nearly any carbonated beverage your sweet little heart could desire? Beats me. And while they still don’t have my boyfriend’s favorite root beer (Henry Weinhard’s) it is a great place. Drive to Oklahoma. Stop. Go in. Eat their food (it’s good). Drink their pop.

    When you see this you are getting close.

    When you see this, you need to flip on your turn signal.

    Now go inside and have yourself some pop. My favorite is Empire Bottling Works’ Spruce Beer. Their food is good, too.

    It’s great. Use it. The pounds will melt away. If you do the pilates, not if you listen to the music.

    This has been written for a while, but I’m just getting around to posting it now. I’ve never had an “about me” section up on this site. I do now! Click on the link to your right that says “More about me…”

  • Rest in peace, Deborah Kerr

    Oct 19, 2007 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Daily, Movies, News, Videos

    Some of my happiest memories are pretending to waltz around Granny’s living room while watching The King and I. And this movie, well, it’s just wonderful.

  • So, I was raised with some beliefs that not many people share, myself included, but I just want to preface this by saying that I respect anyone who does hold these beliefs. Including my parents. Anyway, while I was growing up we never saw movies in the theater. I say never but I actually saw two when I was younger. Most movies I have seen in a theater have been in the past 4-5 years. This means I haven’t seen very many. And most of the ones I HAVE seen were pretty awful. Here goes!


    The Thirteen (Give or Take) Movies I’ve Seen In A Theater
    1. Pocahontas (1995)
    2. Inspector Gadget (1999)
    3. The Prince & Me (2004)
    4. The Notebook (2004)
    5. The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
