Looking forward to the NEW Batman movie coming out next week.
I dont know how anyone can top Jack as the Joker but we will see.
Critics say this is a great movie!

Batman's fashionable outfit is a hit.
On the other hand ... Boy Wonder has always been a fashionable miss in my eyes.
"Holy tight tights Batman, I think I have a runner in my nylons!"

Stress Always Hits Me on Tuesdays!

Many of you that read my blog regularly know that Tuesdays are not friendly to me. It just happens to be the worst day of the week for me in my profession. Some of you have given me logic and offerings of why. Whatever the reason, it continued today.

So to relieve some of the stress, I have listed some quotes about the issue. Feel free to add to this list if you wish. It will certainly will help me get to Wednesday!

"The chief cause of stress is reality." ~ Lily Tomlin

"I read this article. It said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, smoking too much, impulse buying and driving too fast. Are they kidding? This is my idea of a great day!" ~ Monica Piper

"If I knew what I was so anxious about, I wouldn't be so anxious." ~ Mignon McLaughlin

"Keep breathing." ~ Sophie Tucker
