A Quick Update

Today I got a new stove!


That may seem like such a small thing to most; but it's a big deal to me.

Many years ago, when the 2 oven stove came out, I purchased a Maytag Gemini. I LOVED that stove and had it for many many years.  When we did a cheap upgrade in the kitchen, I wanted stainless steel appliances.  We got a refrigerator and dishwasher and I held out on the stove, because I loved mine so much. Eventually though, I broke down and got a stainless steel one - just one oven - in a price range I could afford.  It worked, but it just wasn't what I wanted.

***I was unaware that there a people that can wrap appliances to the color you want. Had I known that, that's what I would have done with my Gemini."

Anyway....I finally bought a new two oven (they no longer make the Gemini).  It's a Samsung this time.  It has an air fryer mode and actually connects to wifi and my phone.

Rather than pay Lowe's to take away the old one, we sold it on FB.  I kid you not - the person that bought it was pulling away as Lowe's deliver was pulling in!!  Perfect timing!

I haven't used it yet, but obviously I will.

My Shapa has had me in the light gray for a while and now has me in green, which is good. I did get a walk in today, the weather was so beautiful!

Some Weight Watchers Drama

By now I'm sure you've heard that Weight Watchers is filing bankruptcy.  I wouldn't panic just yet; bankruptcy doesn't always mean the business is closing down; it sometimes is a tool used to start reconstructing the business.  Depending, of course, what the creditors want.

There have been several businesses that have filed for bankruptcy protection lately; Joanne's Fabric being the most recent.  They've liquidated and closed their doors.  Big Lots was another that liquidated and closed their doors, HOWEVER, I've read recently that they plan on opening back up some stores.  Any of this could happen to Weight Watchers; but it will take time before any of this occurs.  So no need to panic yet.  

And remember, the Healthi app is still out there!



MOVIE REVIEW "A WORKING MAN" ***SPOILERS***

 I go to the movies at least once a week...sometimes more than once!

CC and I went to see A Working Man.  We love Jason Statham and go to all his movies.

This was a typical Jason Statham movie - ACTION!

The storyline involves a kidnapped girl and Jason goes and saves the day! Somehow it all involves a Russian mob and naturally Jason takes them out, lol!

3 out of 5 stars!

MOVIE REVIEW "HELL OF A SUMMER" - **SPOILERS**

 Last night, CC and I went to see Hell of a Summer.

It's your typical young adults who are camp counselors arriving before the campers and there is a killer loose.

Slasher? Yes.  Gory? No.  Campy? Yes.  Funny? Yes.  It's a Slasher Comedy!

I really enjoyed it!

No oscars are going to be won here, but if you just want some fun - this is the movie for you!

I give it a 3 out of 5 stars!
