My favorite movie that has ever been created is “Pretty Woman.” This wonderful film stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. I am obsessed with this movie, and I love watching it using Movies on Demand on my satelite tv. It is one of the most romantic films ever created.
The film also has an interesting plot with quirky characters. Julia Roberts plays an edgy role as a woman with a risque job (you can only imagine), while Richard Gere plays the role of a successful business investor. They meet in downtown Los Angeles, the heart of Hollywood to be exact. Gere asks Roberts for directions, and she responds, “For Twenty Bucks.” This is the moment when the film really begins. Gere is entranced by Julia Roberts and invites her into his gorgeous sports car (which is actually borrowed from his lawyer). As the film goes on, Gere pays Roberts to be his date to all of his corporate events. After their relationship is almost torn apart by rumors, they ultimately end up together. I love the way in which these two end up together in the film, even though they are from completely different class statuses.
If you want to watch a romantic film, then “Pretty Woman” is the perfect movie for you. Who can forget that shopping scene when Roberts finally gets what she wants in Beverly Hills?
I’m pretty handy around the place and I can do a variety of jobs myself in order to save money rather than calling in a professional. But this morning when the basement flooded with raw sewage, it was time to call a plumber. The sewage pump that I had only purchased less than a year ago stopped working and what a nasty mess I had to deal with!
It is funny how those all too familiar blue tarps really catch your eye, in people’s yards and on many trucks that are loaded with materials that can’t get wet. I personally have never liked the look of a blue tarp and I’m glad that they are now making them in different colors that aren’t as bright and gaudy looking. I mean really, if you have a bright green truck that you take pride in the way it looks, why would you want a bright blue tarp distracting from the way it looks.
Maybe I’m just a bit too picky, but I guess it’s just a thing with me. I much prefer a clear tarp, or a nice clean looking canvas tarp, they just look a bit more classy all the way around. Having access to the Internet you can even find numerous sites that offer custom made tarps that really look sharp. Next time I have a need to replace any of my tarps you can bet that I’ll be taking advantage of some of the good deals that I have seen online lately, much better than Home Depot, Lowes or Walmart has to offer, I can tell you that!
The 4th of July turned out to be a really hot day that didn’t cool off much by the time the fireworks were scheduled to start. The heat made people a bit grumpy, there just didn’t seem to be enough to liquids to keep everyone hydrated, but we all survived.
It was too bad that there were several injuries reported on the news the next day, due to fireworks malfunctioning. It seems to happen each and every year. Such a shame to hear that a day that is supposed to be fun turns out in disaster.
My wife and I are at the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to our decorating tastes. When we talk about redecorating, I’m always suggesting going with modern designs such as Minka Aire Ceiling Fans and lights by Hubbardton Forge or Artemide. I really love the clean and modern feel of their designs. My wife, however, prefers what she calls the “traditional” look.
Ever since I brought home and installed the super-modern ceiling fan in her studio, I don’t think she will ever let me shop for lights for our house again. She tried to act pleased, but I could tell that she was biting her tongue hard when she saw what I bought. I tell her that she just needs to think of our house as eclectic.
