Mad Men Made Me Miss My Post

I know, excuses excuses.  I usually have my blog post written the night before, but it totally slipped my mind.  We can blame it on this man.


And now I've got the Monday to-do list to conquer, so you will just have to accept this as my M post.  

So, did you watch last night?  Megan had a miscarriage.  I could probably have written about that, but I've written a lot on miscarriage on this blog.  

Happy Monday!  Tomorrow I will do a proper "N" post.

L is for...

Laconic

Laconic means to use few words.  Laconic is also a 7 letter word that has the potential to score you big points in the game of Scrabble.  If I were to write the laconic version of my book, it would be this...

Middle-aged chick with little experience of grief or loss explores death professions and it freaks her out, but she lives through it.

Guess what?  It's National


So what are you doing still looking at this post?  Go grab the box from that shelf in your closet, gather some friends, make a few mixed drinks and some snacks and have some fun!  

K is for...



This is one of my favorite films from the past few years.  Yep, it's got death in it.  But it also has life.  I love the kid who wants to be a superhero.  Nicolas Cage is totally weird and wonderful, but the film really belongs to Chloe Grace Moretz.  She is this totally bad-ass twelve-year-old with a potty mouth and the skills of a ninja.  I've gotten into some heated arguments with people over this performance.  Some people are totally shocked by what she says and does and I'm like, "Hey, it's just a movie and it's about freakin' time that a young woman got to kick some ass." 

I found it refreshing.

Did you see it?  If not, what movie is your guilty pleasure?
