The Weekly Re-cap: We talked about the weather, Michael & I going out for a motorcycle ride, we wished Michael a Happy Birthday, mourned great TV shows that are no longer with us, said goodbye to a 25-year-old blogger named Eva Markvoort who passed away, and learned about my naughty little puppy Isabella.

The Weekly Read: The Finishing Touch – Details That Make a Room Beautiful

The Weekly Music: Private Eyes by Hall & Oates because my friend Rude Cactus used it for his blog title yesterday.

The Weekly Movie: The Lovely Bones I read the book a while back and thought it was okay. I didn’t love the movie. It was kind of creepy like the book. Though I did like Mark Wahlberg in it….

The Weekly Beverage: I drank a coconut creme Dunkin’ Donuts coffee on the way to The Albany TweetUp and it was yummy. This is a big deal because I rarely drink coffee.

The Weekly Amazing Fact: According to OMGFacts: Giraffes can’t yawn.
Pretty much all warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals yawn. Birds, fish, mammals, and of course, people. An average human will yawn 250,000 times in one lifetime, and animals have been photographed yawning all the time. However, neither giraffes nor whales have ever been caught yawning.

Every week I do a wrap up to summarize my week. You can see my previous weeks as well.

HAPPY EASTER!!

The Weekly Read: Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge – The Book of Mnemonic Devices by: Rod L. Evans
It has things like the old rhyme to help you remember how many days are in each month:
Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November,
February eight-and-twenty all alone
And all the rest have thirty-one,
Unless that Leap Year doth combine
And give to February twenty-nine.

Good Luck Chuck ~ 2007

The Weekly Movies: Titanic, Good Luck Chuck & K-9
Good Luck Chuck is a hilarious movie! I laugh every time I see it!!

Kristina & Keifer on General Hospital

The Weekly Downer: I admit it. I watch General Hospital. I’m really disappointed that Kristina hasn’t told the truth about who attacked her yet!!

The Weekly Beverage: It’s that time of the year again! I’m craving Root Beer!!

Red Lobster ~ Grilled Maine Lobster with Jumbo Shrimp

The Weekly Food: Red Lobster, Boiled egg sandwich, leftover duck with mashed potatoes, Triple Lindy from Moe’s, Chicken & Sausage Ravioli from Trader Joe’s (I’ve gotta say, they were bland as heck and we didn’t like them….), and a Burger from The Rusty Nail.

The Weekly Amazing Fact: The 641 mile transportation network known as the Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway is the longest toll road in the United States.
