midweek at the oasis

House on edge
Nice view. Could you live there?

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?

  1. 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!

    1. Isn’t it great? I totally agree — if we just focused on our similarities rather than our differences, imagine the changes that could happen?

    1. 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!

  2. 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… šŸ™‚

  3. 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.

  4. I could not live in that house. I’d be terrified. But I would definitely meet James Marsden!

  5. 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! šŸ˜‰ I LOVE the video of the two girls. Their beat poetry is stunning, and the message is even stronger. Love it.

  6. 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.
