2017?!

So this is when all the normal people are posting about their Christmas, 2016 in review, New Years, 2017 goals and resolutions—all that stuff.  Well, this is not going to be one of those posts.  I, as you might have already noticed, am not quite the definition of normal.  *smirk*
My Christmas and New Years were great—I do have some New Year's Resolutions but will probably loose them in February.  #thisisme
So now, on to random updates, pictures, and ramblings:
We got our family pictures taken: 
I πŸ’— my family
Bleeding Blue:
GO JAYS!!!! πŸ’™πŸ€
 Watched all 8 Star Wars movies (and now I am a Jedi-in-training)
"May the Force be with you"
(So, whose your favorite character(s)??  Favorite movie(s)??  Favorite quote(s)??  I'd love to rant with you in the comment box below↓↓!!) 
 Playing in a cousin's wedding on January 7th: 
AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!  It's the most beautiful church, fantastic couple,  AND IN 4 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😳😯😱😢
 Yes, my friends.  Stay off the sidewalks!!!  
(Seriously, my first lesson was freaky, but I'm lovin' it!!!) 
 πŸš—πŸš˜πŸš•πŸš¦
Enjoying this beautiful sight in my house!!!  #yearkitchenremodel  #gottaloveit

  1. I love your scattered thoughts--you're always fun.

    Did you really just ask me to rant about Star Wars? Don't you know how this goes. . . ??
    Favorite character. One is impossible, top five: Qui Gan, Rey, Yoda, Obi Wan, Poe. (Don't you dare say the words 'Han Solo' or I will start doubting that five.)
    Favorite movie. "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Rogue One". Return of the Jedi would be too, if they'd done the first half better. #JabbaTheHuttHater
    Favorite quote. All of them. Possibly "Did you know that wasn't me?" K2SO totally displaced BB8 as my favorite droid!
    "You might need this."
    "I can take care of myself!"
    "I know, that's why I'm giving it to you. Do you know how to shoot one of those?"
    "Yeah, you pull the trigger."
    Maybe one from that conversation too. :D

    Oh my word, your family pictures are so gorgeous and fun! And your kitchen looks so beautiful!
    Love ya, girl!

    1. Aww......*warm fuzzies*

      Uh-oh.
      NOT HAN SOLO!??!?!?!?!?!??! OR PRINCESS LEIA!??!?!?!?!?!?!? OR LUKE?!?!?!?!?!??!?! Girl, That's why star wars is a thing, because of Han, Leia, and Luke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, Qui Gon and Obi Wan are my favorites too. Yoda.......not so much. Loose the green appearance, the ears, and the hair--then you've got me.
      Whhhaaa????? I was kinda disappointed in Rogue One. The Empire strikes back is good!! We actually watched most of it last night, just to see all of Han and Leia's moments. I really like Return of the Jedi........(and attack of the clones but shhhh)
      I LOVE THAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And she just realized what she did and was gonna freak when he said that......#loveit K2SO is my favorite droid. I mean, yeah, he's one of the 2 that talk, but C3PO is just kinda......intellectual. ;-P
      "Let go"
      "Shh"
      "Let go, please."
      "Don't get excited!"
      "Captain, being held by you is enough to get me excited."
      "Sorry, sweetheart! Haven't got time for anything else."
      And basically all of their other interactions.

      Thanks, I love them!!! Yes, LETS GET THIS DONE. ;-0 Love ya!!

    2. Whaaa? His ears are the best!! <3

      STOP MAKING ME DOUBT MY CHARACTER LIST!! It was hard enough to narrow it down. >:( Luke never really did much for me, until Return of the Jedi. (He grew up a lot between that and Empire Strikes Back.) Him and Darth Vader does get me, every. single. time. And yes, I love Han and Leia too--as characters, not as a thing.
      And this is super awkward, Ellen. I personally liked the romance better in Return of the Jedi.

    3. This is awkward.....

      Come on, Luke is why there are still Jedi!!!!! Seriously, he's like the most important character!!!!!!!!! He did, you're right. I love him in black. <3 Darth just creeps me out so that scene wasn't very touchy-feely for me. WHAT!!!??!?!???!??!?! THEY ARE SO A THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on, admit it. They got married. The romance in Return of the Jedi is just sweet, not funny. In the Empire Strikes back it's HILARIOUS. Like, they're so much more argumentative. In Return of the Jedi they mellow out a lot more. It is one of my favorite movies though.
      I read an article about how Rey is Obi Wan Kenobi's granddaughter and it was super interesting. Geeky, but totally cool!!!!!

    4. Yeah, I've heard that too. Most of my family is pretty sure she's a Skywalker though.

  2. Enjoyed your post, and it is so you. Love you for being your own person and for all the lives you touch, including mine. πŸ˜ŠπŸ’žπŸ˜˜πŸ™

  3. Love the family picture, Ellen, and your kitchen looks AMAZING.
    Favorite characters in Star Wars? This one's a no brainer. K2SO, Han Solo (in the seventh episode), Rey, Finn, and Poe. Rouge One is my favorite episode. Sorry Ellen. Hmmmmmmm....... favorite quote?
    "Did you know that wasn't me?"
    "Of course."
    Who doesn't love Jyn and K2SO together? (Kind of like Rey and BB8.)

    Your posts are always so fun, Ellen!

    1. Haha, that's interesting that Rogue one is your favorite!! You guys......;-)
      Yes, K2SO is my favorite droid. Honestly, I didn't really like Rey or Jyn. I don't really know why......I just think they're so not my personality that they drive me crazy.....weird, huh??

      Aww, thanks, girl!!!! *warm fuzzies* You're sweet!!!!

  4. *LOVES this post* It was so much fun to see all the things you've been up to lately! And OH GRACIOUS I need to watch the rest of the Star Wars movies - I've only seen two xD. Your whole Jedi getup is awesome :D.

    3. Ooooo......those are the best. Return of the Jedi (6) is super good too though!!!!! I would NOT recommend 1,2,&3 - google what happens, some pictures, and then stop. Seriously, they're alarming. 4,5,&6 are some of my favorite movies of all time......;-)
