Lame Conquers All

Posted on July 15, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

It doesn’t, of course. Neither love nor lame conquers all; I just like putting “lame” into a popular saying for the headlines of my Lame Post Friday posts. In this case, my lameness conquered me last night and I am once again making my Lame Post Friday post on Saturday morning, but one could scarcely consider that conquering all, even if one was given to hyperbole.

Last night I auditioned for a play the for the first time in over a year. I will write more about that later, especially if I return to the second or third night of auditions (preview of coming attractions). After auditions my friend Kim and I went to Lombardo’s Pizza for food and wine. That may be why I became too tired to blog last night.

The slippers have since worn out.

I drew a blank on what to say next so resorted to my Media Library and found this shot from a play I was in at Ilion Little Theatre in 2015 (yikes! That was a while ago). I was Lily Piper in The Busybody.

I still have these sneakers.

I purposely looked for another picture of my feet. I was wearing these socks yesterday, but different sneakers and no leggings. I meant to take a picture but forgot to. Too lame? You decide.

Martin Landau, Can You Help Me Now?

Posted on June 26, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

Another day, another late post. These things happen, at least to me. No matter. I will attempt to write something worth reading, then attempt it again later today so I will be caught up.

Unfortunately I did not take any pictures at the Mind Twist Media Arts and Entertainment Expo yesterday. My friend, Kim and I dressed up and promoted Ilion Little Theatre. There were other vendors there, some musical entertainment, and a magician. Unfortunately, it was not very well attended. However, those who were there enjoyed it. The representative of Mind Twist I talked to said they would probably try for a date in May next year.

After the expo, Kim and I were quite relieved to get out of our costumes and into comfy shorts. We went to Lombardo’s Pizzeria Plus in Ilion, NY, for some food and wine. We split an order of chicken wings and an appetizer sampler. I really should avoid deep-fried food, but as I often observe, I can’t always do the right thing.

Back home, I relaxed with my husband, Steven. We watched Ed Wood. I had been thinking about that movie since I mentioned Martin Landau in my Friday/Saturday post (perhaps you read it).

So this is my Scattered Saturday Post, a day late. I say to myself, “Now that wasn’t so hard, was it? Why didn’t you do it yesterday?” And then, with thanks to S.J. Perelman, I explain, “Shut up.”

Wrist to Forehead But Fun

Posted on December 31, 2018 by mohawkvalleygirl

This may be an unusual Wrist to Forehead Sunday post in that I do not feel particularly wrist-to-foreheady (yes, computer, I know that is not a word, yet I do not believe I shall confuse any of my readers). The obvious reason for that is that I do not have to go to work tomorrow. Yay, me. Please don’t hate on me, those of you who do.

Since I do not have to work tomorrow, Steven and I went out to have drinks and appetizers at a local watering hole. I took my Tablet with me, hoping to take some pictures for blog and other purposes. Unfortunately the first place we tried has been closing on Sundays as of late. The second place was too busy and crowded. How’s that for opposites?

Finally we went to Lombardo’s Pizzeria in Ilion, NY, where we had a couple glasses of wine and some food. It was a fun interlude. Next we went to Asteroga Ale House in Herkimer, where we had another drink and a pleasant conversation with another couple at the bar. Alas I did not take any pictures. Here is where I fall far short in comparison with other bloggers. Judge me if you will.

Now we are home for what I like to call the bra off, sweats on, movie watching portion of the day. Or we may watch an episode or two of Snapped. In any case, I have kept my post-Christmas letdown at bay for yet another day. Happy Sunday, everyone!

Not a Substantial Scattered Saturday Post

Posted on December 9, 2018 by mohawkvalleygirl

OK, once again, it is time for a fast Scattered Saturday post, so I can get back to the sitting on my couch, crocheting and watching TV portion of the evening. But I have had a WONDERFUL day!

I got up early (for others; for me it was kind of sleeping in) for the Reindeer Run 5K. Alas, my dear husband, Steven, was not feeling well, so he went back to bed (at my urging) and I got ready and went.

The run was awesome, although it was quite cold. A friend did show up to cheer me on at the end and take a picture, which he posted on Facebook, at my request.

I looked silly AND I jingled!

I went home after the run to see how Steven was doing. He was feeling better enough that I went out again later with my friend Kim. We went to a double tasting at Valley Wine and Liquor in Herkimer then to lunch at Lombardo’s in Ilion. We had so much fun!

I could write entire blog posts about the run, the tastings, and the lunch. Perhaps I will, although past posts may call that prediction into question. I’m sorry. When I wait till too late in the day, I am not inclined to make a substantial post. Perhaps I should work on posting earlier in the day. In the meantime, Happy Saturday, everyone!
