Mother's Day Edition

Sunday was Mother's Day, a Hallmark Holiday but still one that is worth observing for all those Mom's out there.  They gave us life, advice and love all in one and it all passes generation to generation. And if those who have pets, they are like our babies or should be since we take care of them but even more so as they will never grow up and move out.  We provide for them till the end of their days.  So Happy Mother's Day to all of moms out there from real babies and fur-babies!


Weekly Update:
Another big week at work, many long hours and lost sleep.  Starbucks has been doing half-off Happy Hours between 3 and 6 PM ... curse them!  How can you turn down a half price already expensive drink??  To bad their star system changed because now it is based on dollars than drinks.  But it helps if you get a drink and snack since it will not count as one star but rather times the number of dollars spent.  I like the newer system in general but you also have to think, it is something extra for free that you get just by paying for something you were already going to get!  It is funny when a company changes their FREE program to give you more and many complain and say they will lose business ... they do not need this program to begin with but its nice to have.

At the movies:
And the Marvel Universe continues its domination with this newest addition, Captain America: Civil War earning a hefty 80 mil and right on the money for our expectations.  Word-of-mouth is strong on this film and it should carry to a half-billion domestic cume when it is done.  Drop down to #2, also from Disney just like #1, is "The Jungle Book" with another 21.9 mil and this film is now just shy of 300 mil cume.  The Summer is looking great for Disney right now!  Up slightly to #3 is "Mother's Day" with 9 mil and likely will get a big drop next weekend.  Big drop to #4 is "The Huntsman: Winter's War" with 3.6 mil more and this war is coming to a quick end.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Keanu" with another 3.1 mil and that is about it for this kitten.
