In the "Geesh, where was I?" department....
I missed my own Blogiversary a few days ago. Yep, SIX years on August 21st. I don't know what made me have that brain lapse. Oh maybe a little thing called LIFE and trying to navigate through it these days. I've had a few things on my mind lately besides my stubbornly uncooperative body; least of which were some plumbing repairs and upkeep on 'this 'ol house.' I put some things off as long as I could, but sooner or later the day comes when you just have to 'bite the bullet.' I will say that I'm a more likely candidate to bite the bullet a lot better than my husband was. He hated calling in someone to repair things...and often fixed them himself. Sometimes good....sometimes not so good. A few of my repairmen have definitely run into some of his 'handiwork.' Enough said.
Anyway, six years and counting. I hope to be blogging for a long time to come...or at least as long as my brain holds out.
For those of you who may still be having some of those Movie Quotes from my previous post running through your head, and you just can't seem to place them.....here are the answers:
~ Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the war room. - Dr. Strangelove
~ You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk? - Dirty Harry
~ Nobody puts Baby in a corner. - Dirty Dancing
~ Say hello to my little friend! - Scarface
~ We're on a mission from God. - Blues Brothers
~ What we've got here is failure to communicate. - Cool Hand Luke
~ Sweep the Leg. - Karate Kid
~ I drink your milkshake! I drink it up. - There Will Be Blood
~ Check out the big brain on Brett. - Pulp Fiction
~ I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. - Silence of the Lambs
~ A boy's best friend is his mother. - Psycho
~ Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape. - Planet of the Apes
~ I love the smell of napalm in the morning. - Apocalypse Now
~ My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. - Princess Bride
~ I am serious... and don't call me Shirley. - Airplane
~ Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son. - Animal House
Happy Weekend Everyone..... ~Joy xo
Happy blogiversary, Joy, and more to come (of course!)
It is good to read the "answers". It tells me that the quotes that I did not recognize are from movies that I have never seen. Whew!

Happy sixth anniversary. For me, it means six years of reading the post of a most talented,creative, and simply fun woman. Keep blogging and I will keep reading!

Congratulations Joy!!!
that's a fine collection of movie quotes too - my partner and I enjoy a few of those as common parlance.
We also like, from Animal House, "That was the president, he was damn glad to meet you."

Happy belated Blogisversary, Joy. I hope I can stick it out for six years, but it's not looking too hopeful.
I have really enjoyed meeting you and your family through this blog. Making new friends is the best part about blogging and you are a special one that I am so glad I met.

Happy blogiversary Joy. It's been a pleasure, and I hope you stick around for years to come too.

You were on my mind this morning so I thought it had been long enough and I should drop by for a visit. It must have been an omen!
Here you are having made it with the same blog for six years and I, at best, start one and shut one down every six months!! :)
As to keeping up with the old body and house, they seem to both work in conjunction with the other at my place. I sometimes get really frustrated because I just can't do some of the things I use to do and then when I look for someone to assist, I'm never happy with the job they did.
Happy Anniversary Dear!!

Happy Anniversary,Joy!
I am so happy that I found your site about 4 years ago.
I have enjoyed meeting you and your children and now grandchildren.
You have a wonderful family and have one of the best blogs of all.
You are full of love and poetry and fun and wisdom.
Hope I am still reading you in years to come.

Wow that's a lot of years. Blog years go so fast, don't they?
After looking at the movie quiz answers, I remembered a few more of them.

Happy 'versy! I think remembering these are kinda like birthdays -- after so many years they become sorta routine and we just forget them -- our age and our blogoversary.
Oh gee! Don't mention upkeep for this 'ol house. I've gotta get so much done on this interior, but need to do some other organization before I can even get to that. Gotta get motivated for this and that's the rub. What do you suggest?

Only six!? It seems like I've known (and enjoyed) you forever! I hope there will be a lot of years to come for your blog, and for our friendship.
I am totally in line with you once again on the subject of repairs. Dear Husband will put them off until I'm ready to explode. I will be arranging for some things to be done in September and October because we simply can't wait any longer. Good luck with the plumbing!
P.S. Does your family, like mine, mourn that one of the girls couldn't have married a plumber or become one?? *G*

Happy Blogaversary!! I just passed six years a couple of months ago. And I think the only reason I remembered was that it was listed on my calendar. My host is thinking of giving up his blog license, and that will leave me out in the cold. I don't know what I'll do if he does that.
