These are unique because they were shared as comments in the post 10 More Pet Peeves. Maybe one is yours. Continue reading

HT, also known as my Human Translator, bought and hid my favorite cookies on me. She is a tormentor but I am highly trained as a forager and am just biding my time till she falls asleep so I may jerque to my hearts content.
“I already ate them.”
NO!!
Touted as a romantic comedy based on the novel by Diane Johnson
The story begins with smooth music and Isabel (Kate Hudson) arriving in Paris to visit her pregnant sister (Naomi Watts) unknowingly entering as Roxy’s husband was leaving her. The movie meanders down the path of le divorce and Isabel passes the time by becoming involved with an older, sophisticated Frenchman who happens to be a relative of the absent husband.
The painting on Roxy’s wall is practically a character itself and plays a huge role in many lives. Surprise twists, interesting characters and decadent dishes kept me interested when unpleasant character developments made me cringe but lean forward to see what would happen next.
With quite a cast including; Glen Close, Stephen Fry as a Christie’s employee and Matthew Modine a grieving and tortured husband, the cast was superb. Isabel’s character was fresh and likeable until she became romantically entangled with the wrong man and was very unsympathetic for most of the movie but you got to know her and redeemed herself by the end. Of course.
Afterwards, I told her that didn’t tell me if she liked it or not and she didn’t seem to know either. If you don’t want to read spoilers then skip down to the quote and trailers. Next, I wanted to know what the other chicks thought.
Chick 1: “Annoying, frustrating because of the lifestyle differences but glad he got his just desserts in the end- but didn’t expect that he’d be killed. If it wasn’t for the fact that they killed him I would have hated that movie.”
Chick 2: “Crappy, upsetting because didn’t like main character and thought she was disloyal to sister.”
Quotes:
“Of course.”
“Now we must decide if you will be my mistress.”
On the page entitled the true story behind this book a letter written by Sir Arne Zackleton, explorer and member of the Kooky Pets Team, first introduces the reader to the important connection between the Pets, the Team, and humans.
The author later explains, “Kooky Pets have the unique ability to bring out the best in all of us.” He continues, “but this can only happen if you befriend them. Because, yes, we all have a Kooky Pet inside, but first we need to say “hi” when they’re passing by.” Continue reading
I enjoyed sharing my rage inducers so much in my last post, 10 things that may one day make me snap, that I put Eliza Leigh in timeout, the shoe box to be precise, so I could share 10 more pet peeves. Continue reading

Half serious and half in jest
With a jocoserious tinged voice, she threatened my life.
“No Eliza, that was a deadly serious tone.”
Yesterday, someone hacked into my blog and signed my Human and I up for some challenge. You can read the post here if you don’t believe me. At first, I was angry, appalled, anxious… upset until I realized that meant my human would be working on my blog for 31 days in a row instead of a year. Then I was elated, ecstatic, euphoric… happy.
