I just got home from New Orleans where I got to meet James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan on the set of Nicholas Spark’s new movie, The Best Of Me. But those are stories for another time. Right now, it’s Midweek at the Oasis, and here’s what you may have missed online this week. (Yes, I’m reposting this from last week because, in between, we’ve dealt with the San Diego fires and gone to Boston to watch our daughter graduate from college. These Wednesdays sure come around fast but that first video alone is definitely worth watching twice!)
I love these girls. They give me hope for the future.
Nothing like a dog video, and this husky has the same reaction to going in his kennel that many of us have to getting up on Monday mornings.
I’m excited that Season 2 of one of my favorite shows, Orange is the New Black, starts on June 6, and I think Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren is one of the best TV characters to come along in a while.
Because I’ve been on my phone constantly the past few days since I was on a press trip, let me leave you with this. Can you relate?
Ruth Curran says
OMG you had me hooked with your first video. What a powerful duo, a needed perspective, and perfect view of the world of similarities and differences….. The world would be a better place if we just paid attention to that Muslim girl and that Jewish girl who have so much in common….. Thanks for sharing this one Lois!
Lois Alter Mark says
Isn’t it great? I totally agree — if we just focused on our similarities rather than our differences, imagine the changes that could happen?
Cathy Chester says
Even when you’re away you are brilliant.
Lois Alter Mark says
Ha ha! Love you!
Ellen Dolgen says
I could def not live in that house…but it is soooooooooooooo cool looking! The two girls were fab! I LOVE Orange Is The New Black!
Lois Alter Mark says
I don’t think I could live there either but would love to see it in person! Can’t wait for OITNB to start again!
Valerie Rind says
LOVE the house. I’d feel more at home if some clothing was thrown on the floor. 🙂
Holly says
UM NO I could not sleep there. But I’m with you on OITNB coming back. Can’t wait.
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
You were here in Boston? At least the weather was awesome for ya!
Debbie Denny says
I could not live in that house. Scary nights sleep.
Deanna Ritz says
Oh my goodness!! I could not live or stay for one night in that house. Absolutely amazing views from the side but I don’t think I could sleep. I’m such a weenie… 🙂
Debbie L. says
No way could I live there…it is neat but not for me!
Heather Lawrence says
Umm, hell no.
I couldn’t even walk up those stairs I am so afraid of heights.
Beautiful view for sure but I would have my heart in my throat the entire time!
Lenze says
The house is interesting. I want to know how it was built and how sturdy it is.
Diana Rodriguez - Entre Compras y El Hogar says
I love it, but I have a fear of heights
Pam says
I don’t think I could live in that house, but I bet the view is great. Love the autocorrect comic. I can’t even remember how many times autocorrect has ruined an otherwise normal text.
Mama to 5 BLessings says
this house is amazing. The room directly over the ledge is amazing, I would be scared to stay there!
Jessica @EatSleepBe says
I could not live in that house. I’d be terrified. But I would definitely meet James Marsden!
celebbabylaundry says
That Husky video represents many of my mornings.
Cynthia L says
I have never seen the show, Orange is the new Black. I have heard so much about it though, I will have to check it out.
Vanessa Barker says
I just started Orange in the new black and I’m loving it. Almost done with season 1 and excited I wont have to wait long for season 2.
Liz Mays says
I have got to see Orange is the New Black. My DD was telling me how good it was. I would NOT live in that house!
Danielle says
Hmm… you know, I think I would try sleeping one night in that bedroom. Not sure any sleep would actually occur, but you gotta try everything once! 😉 I LOVE the video of the two girls. Their beat poetry is stunning, and the message is even stronger. Love it.
Maria Oller says
I’m still jealous I love love Nicholas spark, great Wednesday post but the first pic ughh I cannot get over the fact I’m afraid of heights I dont think I would be able to enjoy the view.
Dee says
Oh my – I don’t think I could live there!
Krista says
There is NO Way what I could live there…or even sleep one night!
Shanna says
Oh my goodness! That house at the top – I could NEVER even step in there. I’m so terrified of heights.
Mary says
I am still stuck on that house. I could never sleep on that bottom floor. EVER.
