“Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today.”

I LOVE holidays!  Big holidays, weird holidays, any kind of holiday!  Yesterday was Groundhog Day.  I never remember the significance of seeing the shadow or not. I simply can’t keep it straight.  But we celebrate anyway!  What is a holiday without some special food?  Yesterday I had a whole crew of helplers making this cute little treat.

Then we rounded out the day watching Groundhog Day with Bill Murray.  Hilarious!  Annoying so we only watch once a year but we sure do enjoy it .  We missed watching it last year and I think it was even funnier this year!  Here are some of my favorite lines:

• This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.
• This is pitiful. A thousand people freezing their butts off waiting to worship a rat.
• Psychiatrist: That’s an unusual problem, Mr. Connors. Uh, Most of my work is with couples, families. I have an alcoholic now.   Phil: Well you went to college, right? I mean, it wasn’t veterinary psychology, was it? Didn’t you take some kind of course that covered this stuff?     Psychiatrist: Yeah, sort of, I guess. Uh, abnormal psychology.     Phil: So, what do I do?    Psychiatrist: I think we should meet again. How’s tomorrow for you?[Phil begins punching himself in the head through pillow]  Psychiatrist: Is that not good?
• Phil: Do you ever have d?jà vu, Mrs. Lancaster?
  Mrs. Lancaster: I don’t think so, but I could check with the kitchen.
• Phil: Isn’t there any hot water?
  Mrs. Lancaster: No, there wouldn’t be today.
  Phil: No, of course not…
• Phil: It’s the same things your whole life. “Clean up your room!”, “Stand up straight!”, “Pick up your feet!”, “Take it like a man!”, “Be nice to your sister!”, “Don’t mix beer and wine, ever!”. Oh yeah — “Don’t drive on the railroad tracks!”
  Gus: Eh, Phil… That’s one I happen to agree with.
• Piano Teacher: Not bad… Mr. Connors, you say this is your first lesson?
  Phil: Yes, but my father was a piano mover, so…
• [Phil drives a truck off a cliff] He might be ok. [explosion] Well, no, probably not now.
• If you’re gonna eat steak, get some sharper teeth, alright?

And now for the one we use all year long:

• Watch out for that first step – it’s a doozie
