Random Tuesday Thoughts

Happy Tuesday!! Are you feeling random? I sure am! If you want to share your own random or just read others, grab the box and join the fun at Stacy's!

1. Today is Kid's birthday. He is five years old today. That's a whole hand! That's a big deal!

2. Our McDonald's is money hungry or something. Every other McD's has Small, Medium and Large iced coffee's. Our McD's has Medium, Large and Extra Large. However, the XLarge at our McD's is the same as a large at any other McD's. Strange.

3. I ordered an extra large iced coffee this morning. At the window I was handed a "medium" (Which, at any other McD's would be a small), umm. I said, "Did I not order an extra large?" She told me that the other lady only put medium on the display. However, she traded it out for an extra large. Extra large for the price of medium. Nice.

4. I planned to put a Sean Bean (because I love him) movie in my DVD player today while I do laundry and party prep. However, Syfy had other plans. There is a Destination Truth marathon on today. LOVE this show. Josh Gates make me happy. :)

5. Taking Kid to school today I saw a man at a stop sign. He was in a very nice black car and wearing a suit. You don't see a lot of guys in suits around here. There's just not a lot of jobs that require suits. I miss seeing guy (and girls) in suits. When I lived in Pennsylvania there were suits everywhere. Where, oh where, is civilization?

6. Lion King 3D tonight? Maybe. It's possible we'll try to go this afternoon for Kid's birthday. Since his party is Saturday we wanted to try to make this day a little special and not just like another day.

7. I made cupcakes last night for Kid to share with his class for his Birthday. There were Very happy kids when I walked into that classroom this morning.

8. On that note I'm going to gain so much weight. Cupcakes, Birthday cake, birthday party food. Around here the "Holiday" season starts with Kid's birthday. Kid's Birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

9. Party on Saturday, then guess what? I can start the Autumn/Halloween decorating! SO Excited!

I think that's enough for now. I don't want to bore you any longer. Have great Random Tuesday!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

It's that time again! Time to be random! I love being random! Join the fun, you would like. Keely has stepped down for a bit but Stacy has taken up the slack! Grab the box and check out her blog and other random Tuesday blogs!

1. Mother-in-Law, Sister-in-Law (J's sister), Niece, Nephew and Sister-in-Law's friend were all here and spent a couple night this past weekend. We had a good time. Sunday after church we went to the movies. Most everyone saw Green Lantern. Except I took the Kid and Niece to see Kung Fu Panda 2. (I have no interest in Green Lantern, I don't care how pretty Ryan Reynolds is. Sorry, not really my thing.)

2. Nephew calls his sister "Collie." This is not her name. (Sorry, I'm not going to share her name.) Although, if you stretch your imagination (Stretch Armstrong style) it could be like her name . . . Sort of.

3. Niece calls my Sister-in-Law "Trama." This is not her name. (Sorry, once again, not sharing her real name.) I'm not even sure how this nickname happened. You have to do a bit more stretching to get her real name out of this one.

4. I was laying in bed this morning at 5:30 after J went to work and my brain was going overtime with all the random from this past week. Do I remember any of it now? Of course not.

5. I think my coffee maker is dying. This is a sad sad day. On the bright side - New Coffee Maker!!! (If I can afford it.) I need a 12 cup coffee maker to make pitchers of iced coffee. Anyone have any suggestions on the best kind? Can't be too expensive. The one I have now I've had about 5 years and it's just a 12 cup, non-programmable, Black & Decker, push one button to turn it on and off, coffee maker. It was a wedding gift.

6. I love Pinterest. (I've said this before.) I've found a couple crafts that I'm going to try, as soon as I get to Hobby Lobby again. I'm excited.

7. I want a night out. Just for me. No WAY too LOUD TV's. No squeaking Kid. No one asking for me to get them a can of soda or get them a drink or get them a snack. Just ME! And I don't mean just me going grocery shopping or to the post office. I haven't had a just me night in . . . I literally don't remember the last time.

I think I'm going to shut the random down now. Have a great day everyone!!

Indiana Kiddo

A couple weeks ago the USA Network aired ALL the Indiana Jones movies.

Now, the Kiddo has the Indiana Jones Lego XBox game. So, when I saw that the movies were on I waited for a part that I knew was in the game and called the Kiddo into the room to watch. That was it. He never left the room after that.

My FOUR year old sat through almost an entire Indiana Jones movie. (Scary moments edited by Mommy's "Close your eyes" warnings. Or I changed the channel.) Then later he spied another one of the movies. Once again we watched almost an entire movie. THEN, he discovered that we have them all on DVD!

Ever since he's been begging to watch Indiana Jones. Now, I don't mind him being an Indy fan but I can't just put one of those movies on for him and leave the room. Not yet anyway. But, one day J told the Kiddo he would watch one with him. They watched Indiana Jones and Raider's of the Lost Ark.

The Kiddo loved it. He watched the whole movie.

A little while later I was watching the Kiddo. He had two toys and he put one of them on the arm of the sofa. Then, he did something with his hands and quickly switched one toy for the one on the sofa. He began to walk away, then he stopped, turned around, looked up and took off running.

I watched a couple times trying to figure it out before I asked what he was doing. He told me he was getting the statue and running from the ball. Ahhhh,

I watched more carefully and he was indeed mimicking Indy as he contemplated the weight of the idol compared to the bag of sand, switched them and was then forced to run from the giant boulder.

He even hummed the Indy theme song as he ran from the boulder.

Who needs a TV when you have a four year old to entertain you!?

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Are you feeling Random today? If you are then you need to grab he box below, head over to Keely' blog and link-up! If you're not feeling Random yourself but you're in the mood to read others' Random . . . Well, same rules apply! Grab the box an head to Keely's!

1. Do you wear a watch? I do. My actual question is: Do you wear it with the face on the back of your wrist or underneath? I always wear mine with the face underneath. Not sure why. I think I got it from my Mom.

2. I feel stupid just asking but can Anyone tell me what the hashtag #fb is for?!?!?!

3. We had a missionary come through our church last week. It was very amusing. He had just recently returned from Mexico and when he began to speak faster he caught himself, more than once, sliding from English (his first language) into Spanish.

4. I'm SO excited about our trip to Pennsylvania! I'm NOT excited about the airports but I can't wait to see my family!

5. Black Widow Spider on my door step! Cue the Freaking Out! I'm not generally afraid of spiders but I am afraid of Poisonous Spiders (Duh!) I called the apartments and they no longer spray for spiders (they did last year) because it's too expensive. GRRRR! I'm going to go grab something at Walmart and Do It Myself!

6. I went to see Limitless last night. I approve. I also approve of Bradley Cooper. Bradley Cooper is pretty. I totally see Bradley Cooper showing up in this weeks Hot Guy of the Week post.

7. A Giveaway? Here? I'm thinking . . . Yes! It will be my first giveaway. It won't be anything HUGE or AMAZING but it will be cute and it will be something that I wouldn't mind winning. (Why would I giveaway something I wouldn't want to win myself?) Stay tuned!!

I think that should do it! Have a great Random Tuesday and a great week!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Happy Random Tuesday, Everyone! What does that mean? Well, if you don't know then you need to click the box and find out! Pop over to Keely's blog and get in on the random!

1. You know what's awkward? Following someone on Twitter who follows you, talking to them occasionally and not being sure if they're male or female . . .

2. Speaking of Twitter. Are you on Twitter? Are you a "Team Follow Back" kind of a person? Do you automatically follow the (REAL) people that follow you? Or do people follow you and you leave them hanging out there, following you but not being followed in return. If you don't follow everyone back, do you feel guilty when they talk to you often (and you of course talk to them in return) but you don't follow them? Or is that just me? I already follow too many people. I can't follow everyone back!

3. One of the kids on my Sunday School class was acting up a bit and I told him he had to listen to me or he'd have to go sit with his Grandmother. He said "I'm little." I assumed he meant he was little so he had to stay in my Sunday School class and not go in with the adults. I said "Little?" He said "Yea, I'm little. I haven't learned how to listen yet." Oh really? Child logic cracks me up. I assured him that he was not too little to learn to listen.

4. One thing about Summer coming that makes me happy? The Summer Movie Club House at our movie theatre. A kids movie every Tuesday at ten AM for a buck a person! Yay!

5. Speaking of . . . Is it "Theater" or "Theatre" that is the correct spelling?

6. Temporary Insanity is a ridiculous plea!! I go temporarily insane sometimes too. When I do eat two pieces of cake or I leave the laundry in the washer overnight or I buy that way too expensive item . . . I DON'T KILL PEOPLE!!!

7. If you don't like CNN then Turn it off! If you don't like Fox News then turn it off! Why complain about them all the time?


Is that enough random for today? I think so! If you're in the mood for more random check out Keely's blog OR write your own and Link Up!!

Have a great Random Tuesday!

Academy Awards

Oscar Observations (Bear in mind that at the time of this writing the actual ceremony is not over yet.)

Best Dressed Female: Anna Kendrick, Demi Moore Elizabeth Banks. Kathryn Bigelow looked very nice too.

Best Dress Male: Okay, is it just me or do they mostly look alike? I liked Ben Stiller's tux. Umm, Taylor Lautner always looks great (He's a cutie.) Oh! Robert Downy Jr. looked Good!

Worst Dressed Female: Sarah Jessica Parker. Was she wearing a shower curtain?

Worst Dressed Male: Once again, I didn't really notice. They look the same to me, for the most part.

I was dissapointed that Anna Kendrick lost, I like her.

Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were pretty entertaining. Of course they're no Billy Crystal. He could host!

It was nice to see Neil Patrick Harris. I love that guy, he's super entertaining.

Oh! During the tribute to the Horror films. Can someone please tell me why there was a clip of A. Bettlejuice (Because, I really don't horror when I see that film) and B. NEW MOON!? Are you kidding me? HAHAHAHA Horror?

Hubby was unimpressed with Avatar's loss. I haven't seen either Avatar or the Hurt Locker so I was indifferent but it was nice to see Kathryn Bigelow win. She made history. Go women! hehe

Well, I guess that's it. Nothing like some random oscarsness.

Therapy and Shutter Island

I had my day all planned out. I planned it out last night.

I was going to get up, do the gym and then head to do some shopping (window shopping that is) before I went to see Shutter Island. Then I rethought my plans and moved the gym to after the movie but other than that the day stayed the same.

I got all ready to go, grabbed the keys, said good bye to the guys and had my hand on the door knob when J said "What day is today?"

I responded "Friday."

To which he responded "Don't forget I have therapy today."

Plans dashed to pieces!

We had BOTH forgotten that he had therapy until just then, an hour and a half before we had to leave.

Anyway, AFTER therapy I did finally get to the movies. I saw Shutter Island. What a strange movie. I'm not what you would call a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio but I have to say that this was some of the best acting I've seen out of him. I might give him another shot.

POSSIBLE

S*P*O*I*L*E*R*S

I sat down in the theatre and the movie began to play. Five minutes in I sent a text (What? Don't look at me like that. Yes, I'm one of THOSE people. I text during the movie, sometimes but I ALWAYS sit in the very last row in the corner so I'm pretty sure I don't bother anyone.) to my cousin and said "I think I know EXACTLY how this movie is going to end. I'll let you know."

I was right. Just once I would like to see a movie where the twist at the end was actually a suprise to me. Come on people! Get creative! Not saying I didn't like the movie. I did. I'm not going to rush out and buy it when it comes out on DVD though. (There was just a tad too much violence for me.)

I think it could have twisted again at the end and I was almost expecting it but it never came. Maybe there will be an alternate ending on the DVD. We'll see.

(Also, just a side note. Maybe it's because he's grown up or something but this marks the first time I have ever ever found Leonardo DiCaprio at all attractive. I was not a part of the Fangirls from Titanic. I was into Billy Zane when I saw that movie. Stupid Rose!)

Yes Please!

I t occured to me that I should blog about something today.

Apparently I have this thing where I can't NOT blog. So, on those days that I have nothing to say you'll have to forgive me for the Extremely low quality (as opposed to the regular low quality) posts. Well, actually you don't HAVE to forgive me, but it would be nice.

I have plans for today. I'm PLANNING on going to see Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief later.

Children's movie, you say. Yes, I'm pretty sure you're right. HOWEVER. This film has a certain cast member in it that compels me to go watch.

Sean Bean! On the big screen! Yes please! You better believe it! I'm there!

I may even get some popcorn . . .

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

It's Tuesday! Is anyone feeling Random? Well, if you are then you may click the little box below and pop on over to Keely's blog to read some more Random or participate with your own! Have fun!

1. Going to see When In Rome tonight "with" my friend in Maine. Well, we're both going at the same time but she's going in ME and I'm going here. Silly? Maybe. But still fun. I think I might even get some popcorn. (I never buy popcorn at the movies because the prices are like robbery.)

2. I'm so happy for Anna Kendrick! She's been nominated for an Oscar. For the rest of her life, (if she doesn't win) she'll be "Oscar Nominated Actress Anna Kendrick." (I have the overwhelming desire to write "Take that Kristen Stewart." but I'll try to refrain . . .)

3. Almond Joy Pieces are not near as good as I expected them to be. Still, they're not awful.

4. I want a donut.

5. There are a lot of birthday's in February!

6. Hubby's been going for physical therapy for his knee twice a week. It's an HOUR away! I hate that drive. I'm also running out of things to do while we're there. I think the Kiddo and I are going to check out their library either tomorrow or Friday.

7. Finished an Awful book last night. I'll probably review it tomorrow. I'm still waiting for the library to call me about the other book I have on hold . . .

8. I think I may have asked this before. Has anyone read any James Patterson. I think I may give some of his books a try. (Also is there anyone out there who likes Dan Brown? If so, what other authors would you recommend?)

Have a wonderful Random Tuesday!

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Welcome to Tuesday! So glad you decided to stop by for some random thoughts! If you like what you see and you want to participate it's easy! Click the awesome little box below and zip on over to Keely's blog! She'll explain it all over there!

1. I finally got to go see Extraordinary Measures last night. It was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. I should have taken a box of tissues with me though. Can't count the tears.

2. After watching the movie last night I must say I am So Very Thankful to have a healthy Kiddo. I came home and snuggled him.

3. I tell the Kiddo that when he's getting dressed the tag goes in the back. He always asks "Where does the flag go?"

4. I introduced my husband to Tim Conway and Harvey Corman in The Dentist skit from the Carol Burnett show. He loved it, and how could you not. Those guys are funny.

5. We own the entire series of Friends on DVD. My Husband likes to put them on at night and watch before bed. I agree that it's nice and light and alot of other things we have on DVD are less ideal for bedtime viewing but I'm getting tired of Friends. We need some more sitcoms on DVD. Any suggestions? What was/is your favorite sitcom?

6. I've decided that Diet Coke tastes better to me than Coke Zero.

7. I found the lost shoe less than an hour after I posted yesterday's blog.

8. I'm ready for a vacation. I'm ready for the income tax refund to come in and I'm ready to fly away home. I just wish it was a permanent thing and not just a visit.

9. Snow Thursday night? Could it really be? I'll believe it when I see it!

Well, that's enough for today I think. Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Favorite Movies

What is your favorite movie? Can you pick just one? Do you have different favorites for genres?

When someone asks me what my favorite movie is I normally respond The Fugitive. The one with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones.

However, I'm also a big fan of the original Star Wars trilogy. Then there's my "go to" movies. Little Women, Pride and Pejudice and Sense and Sensibility. These are the movies that I watch for background noise or when I just can't decide what I really want to watch.

There are so many other movies that I really like. We have quite a collection but those are my favorites.

What's your favorite movie and why? Maybe, if I haven't seen it, I'll try to check it out.

(P.S. The Cardinals won last night and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!! Yeah Baby!)

First Book of the New Year - Percy Jackson

I said that when I finished my books this year I would try to blog about them. Well, I have finished my first book.

Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

I guess I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The reason I chose to read this book is because in February (on the 12th) the movie version comes out. It's not really a movie that I would normally rush out to see except that Sean Bean is in it. Therefore, I'll be rushing out to see it.

For some movies I like to read the books first. I like to see what the differences are, what was left out, what was kept in.

I did enjoy the book. It was no Harry Potter but it was fun. I don't know if I can pick a favorite character yet. Maybe Annabeth? We'll see when I move on to the second book.

Speaking of the second book, I'm currently waitng on the library to call me and tell me it's been returned. I hope they hurry.

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

It's that time again! I love Tuesdays! Happy Random Tuesday! Click the box below and join the fun over at Keely's blog.

1. I don't mind fanfic at all. As a matter of fact . . .  I may have been known to read some of it. However, and I found this very disturbing, fanfiction should be used with characters that have been created and NOT real people. I've signed up for some google alerts and I'm constantly getting links for "fanfic" stories involving these people and their friends. REAL people, not characters, the actual people. Ick. I sure hope these people never see this.

2. Adam Lambert. AMA's. What the  . . . ??????? (Just FYI This video is PG-13 at least)

3. I dreamed about Adam Lambert Sunday night after the AMA's . . . It was bound to happen . . . *Shudders*

3. I play Date of the Day on Facebook everyday. I NEVER end up with anyone I'm interested in ending up with. Although I've been dating Leonardo Dicaprio and Robert Pattinson pretty regularly. I'll let you know how it's going. My real question is why do I keep getting stuck with these guys and my friends get Johnny Depp?!!?!?!?!?

4. I HATE being broke this time of year (I hate being broke any time, really). Last year I had garland up around all my doors and doorways. This year I have streamers in the appropriate colors. Oh well, at least I have streamers.

5. Saw New Moon last night. I really liked it. A million times better than Twilight. Taylor Lautner made me feel bad for and even kind of like Jacob (NOT an easy thing to do, let me tell you). Also, I think Michael Sheen as Aro was great. He stole the scene. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him.

6. I updated my blog editor thing. WHERE is the spell check?!!?!?!?!?!?!? Help! Please???

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Welcome to this weeks edition of Random Tuesday Thoughts! Pull up a chair and enjoy! If you like what you see click the little box below and head over to Keely's blog to read some more or post your very own Random Tuesday Thoughts!!

1. I hope everyone had a good Halloween. Did you Trick-or-Treat? We did, we got silly candy too. Barely any chocolate AT ALL. Three snickers which J ate. One Hershey bar and one package of Reese's pieces (which I ate). The rest was basically sweet tarts, smarties, dum dums and double bubble. No where near as good as last year.

2. Sometimes people annoy me! It's like they have no sense at all! Seriously man! Think! This is bad!

3. Have you ever been so tired you can't seem to accomplish anything? I'm sitting here with tab after tab open and I can't seem to get anything done. Things that need to be written are just staring at me because my brain can't concentrate enough to put words on paper.

4. WHY is it that the ONLY time the Kiddo takes a nap is when he is left home with Daddy? He NEVER takes a nap with me but as soon as I walk out the door (No matter WHAT time it happens to be) he's sleeping. Then after his late nap, who is stuck sitting up with him at night when he's too wound up to sleep? Not the one who let him sleep, no. Me, that's who!

5. Yesterday my cousin posted on Facebook that she was watching Sweeny Todd (Mmmm, Johnny Depp . . . that's another post) to which my other cousin responded "Dude, Musicals suck." I must say I do not agree! I love musicals (not ALL of them, but a lot of them). Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Music Man, Grease, White Christmas, Moulin Rouge . . . on and on. So do you like musicals? Do you have a favorite?

6. Taking down the Halloween decorations today. Now I'll have to fight the urge to decorate for Christmas right now. I don't think I'll even last another two weeks. I'm kind of known for decorating Early. I can't help it, the mood hits and I just have too!

7. Ewan McGregor (Mmmm . . . wait, that's another post too!) is going to be on Craig Ferguson on Friday! I'm so so very excited about this. Ewan is a great guest. Together they are both extremely funny. When I heard about The Men Who Stare At Goats (I really want to see this) I got all excited hoping that while the actors were making the rounds promoting the film, Ewan might make it to Craig's show. He is! Yay!

8. Anyone interested in a "Hot Guy of the Week" kind of post? I'm tossing the idea around . . . we'll see. I may just include it in my RTT. Unsure at the moment.

9. My bestest friend is very creative and handy. She's opened an online store called An'gel Boutique. She has some skirts, baby girl head bands and (my favorite) some very cute purses. You can click the link here or the button on the side of my blog. Please go have a look? Thanks

10. Cate from Show My Face has created a new game called Seven Days Seven Answers. It's a lot of fun and a great way to get your creative juices flowing. You should check it out . . . now . . . go!

Wow, for thinking I didn't have anything to say I sure had a lot to say! I think this is my longest RTT so far! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts!

It's Tuesday! Pop on over to Keely's blog and join the fun! Just click the cute little box below.

1. I HATE not having a Dunkin' Donuts around here! They should get rid of the commercials for them in this area since we don't have any. It's like torture!

2. This guy is so unintelligent I don't even have words . . .

3. This Thursday night the ladies from our church are getting together at Chili's to have dinner and to do and Ornament Exchange. Sounds like fun. However, I think it's a bit early. Seems like we should at least wait til next month. Oh well. Now, do I dress Christmassy???

4. McDonald's often has special milk shake flavors for the different seasons/holidays. Shamrock, pumpkin, egg nog. I love the Shamrock. Actually I love them all. My question, however, is this. Why don't they do the same thing with their iced coffee? I would love to have some pumpkin iced coffee right now.

5. My Kiddo has been on a Gilligan's Island kick lately. Any of you have a three year old who watches TV shows from the 60's?

6. Has anyone ever been to Portland, Oregon? Anything interesting to do there? (Or maybe things to avoid?) I'll take any suggestions I can get. Thanks!

7. Went to see Couples Retreat this past weekend. I really liked it. The more I see Vince Vaughn the more I like him.

Happy Tuesday!!!

Girls Night Out

I just realized I never posted anything about the girls night out that Rin and I were fortunate enough to have. Our husbands jumped at the chance (yeah right!) to keep the boys while she and I went out for the evening.

The original plan was to make it to the 4:20 PM movie and then go to dinner afterward. However, problems with the arrival of J's check complicated this plan. So instead we planned to go to the 7:20 PM movie and then have dinner afterward.

We went to see All About Steve (Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper). It was pretty good. It ended not how I expected but how I wanted so that made me happy. Then we ran into Wal-Mart and walked around, got some gas and went on a post card search.

She was trying to send her Mom Postcards from every state she was in during her cross country travel. The only problem is that they don't sell postcards in Whogivesacare, TX so after about 7 stops we gave up and went to Applebees to eat.

We had a great time sitting there eating and talking. (Two for Twenty deal is awesome!) We figured it was time to leave around a quarter to two when the guy walked in and yelled "Last call for alcohol!"

All in all we had a great night! I wish we could do it more often! I think it's time for her to drop by again.

Anyone Hungry?

This is just a little piece from my Random Tuesday Thoughts this past Tuesday.

Why are none of my favorite restaurants anywhere near where I live?

I may not always be able to afford Red Lobster but it sure would be nice if I had the option when I could afford it.

What about Cheddar's? They have amazing food and awesome prices but the closest one is two hours away. Would it really be so hard to build one around here?

Dunkin' Donuts??? Not exactly a restaurant, I know, but still. I Love Dunkin' Donuts. So yummy! I crave them occasionally. A nice donut and an iced coffee. (Although, to be fair, McDonald's iced coffee is better than Dunkin' Donuts. I think)

What DO we have here? McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Subway, Sonic and Braums. Also a couple not very good at all Mexican restaurants. In the next biggest town over we have those that I mentioned just now and Taco Bell, Arby's, Burger King and Chicken Express. These are pretty much all fast food of course.

We do have Applebees, another icky Mexican place called TaMolly's and one excellent Chinese Buffet.

This makes it difficult to find a place to go eat when you have a girls night out. (That's tonight, by the way! Yay!) I think we decided on Chinese.

So the plan is: Leave whenever we can! Catch a movie at about 4:30. Then enjoy our Chinese buffet dinner for however long we want!

It's been a LONG time since I had a girls night out!

It's been a good week so far!

It's Wednesday (insert sad face because there's no new Leverage tonight).

It's been so nice having Rin here! It doesn't really feel like it's been five and a half years since I've seen her. Must be because we've talked almost everyday for three years.

We are looking forward to tomorrow. Our plans include some shopping, dinner and a movie. Anyone seen All About Steve? I think that's what we're going to watch. All of this Kiddo free. Our hubbies have volunteered (okay, maybe they didn't "volunteer" but anyway . . .) to keep the Kiddos so we can have our night out.

Having a great week, looking forward to it continuing.

Wish List

I think I'll share my wish list with you. Actually as I was making this list I kept trying to think of what I wish for and was having some problems. Any other time I would have no problem, but if I'm trying to write them down, I can't think.

1. A Bigger (6.5-7qt.) Slow Cooker. I'm not positive the size of the one I have now but I'm pretty sure it's 3.5-4 qt. Not big enough, I want bigger.



2. I want my own laptop. I'm tired of sharing. lol. I did have my own. then I went on vacation with the Kiddo to see my family and when I came back, Poof! My computer had died. (Don't know what happened.) Currently my husband and I are sharing a laptop. (Don't tell the Kiddo that I don't want to share, okay?)3. A router so when I get my own laptop (see above) the internet will be accessible from both at the same time. Not too mention when we have company, theirs will work too
4. Cake decorating supplies. I've been decorating cakes as a hobby for a little while now. I will be the first to tell you that I'm not really very good. However, I still want all the toys. 5. A few books. I've read some of these and just liked them so much I want to own them. Others look very intriguing and I want to read!

I don't need all of the Harry Potter books. I already have some of them.

6. Some DVD's.

I only put on season 6 of NCIS but I really need them all but the first one.

7. CD's

I would also love Christian Kane's CD whenever it comes out . . . *(Im)patiently waiting*

I guess that's that. Now I can only hope that the right people *Cough*J*Cough* read this!

Pick a Movie

So many movies, so little time.

We live in an ity bity little town that is a good 45 minute drive from the nearest movie theatre. Needless to say I don’t get to the movies very often. Usually when I do go it’s to see one specific movie that I had been waiting for.

This week I have problems. There are at least four movies that I am interested in seeing. There is no way I’m going to get to watch all these movies. I’m just going to have to pick one (possibly two) to catch in the theatre and wait for the DVD for the others.

The question is which one do I want to see? A Perfect Getaway, The Time Traveler’s Wife or Post Grad? It will probably mostly be up to what’s playing when, when I get to go and the running time of the movie.

We’ll see what happens. I’ll keep you posted.
