Monday, Moaning & a Movie (Mulan)

Moaning

It’s been a while since I’ve posted in the blog. Between remodeling the new house, selling the old one, COVID recovery, and writing book 6 in the Jennifer Cloud Series, I’ve been a busy girl. But it’s Moaning Monday and I have thrown my back out! How embarrassing, a chiropractor with a bad back. Not to worry. Ice, therapy, and my chiropractor husband will get me back and running in no time.

Here are a few pics of the remodel. I named this house The Cat House. I’ll let you use your imagination as to why. We’ve been going strong since August and hope to have it finished by January. A nice way to start off the new year. In these Pics we’ve gutted the inside and moved the staircase to open up the beautiful view.

Movie – Mulan

I enjoyed Disney’s action-drama film of the original animated movie more than I thought I would. For those of you who are not familiar, Mulan is a story about a woman who wants to be independent and strong, but still respectful of her family, her culture, and her country. I missed the comedic relief of Mushu the dragon played by Eddie Murphy in the animated film, but I feel he would have taken away from the important message that we can all stand to learn from this great character. Mulan learns that what she has within her is a gift she can share with the world, not hide away because she is female. I loved the part when she kicked the male lead’s bottom during training.  The music is beautiful, and I did shed a tear or two.

Have a Great Monday Y’all!

Forever Crazy,

Janet Leigh

  1. The changes to the house are beautiful. I can’t wait to see a photo of it finished. I am sorry to hear that you had covid but glad you are recovering. So sorry about your back. As someone who had a titanium rod in my back I can definitely sympathize. I am glad hubby can help you out. I am also glad you will have a new Jennifer Mcloud book out in January. I am hoping you will let me be an advanced reader again. I love your imagination. Feel better. Hugs! Darlene
