Today on the way home Grant and I rented quite a few movies. Here is the list...
Coraline
Capitalism: a love story
The Ugly Truth
Good Dick
Seven Pounds
Yesterday we watched 2012 and I thought that was a good flick as well. Not my typical movie but I'd suggest it.
I'm currently half way through There will be Blood. And Netflix just sent me my first movie from my friends must see list; Rainman. I plan on catching up with scrapbooking as I'm watching these so I'm not a complete couch potato=)

whip it
Grant and I watched the movie whip it today and I loved it! I really want to go and see a real roller derby now! I know Ellen Page won't be there, and how do I love her, but I still think it could be a rather fun outing!

Today I went to the big town of Appleton to do some shopping and to get out of the house for awhile. I stopped at Atlanta Bread to have a sandwich and as I'm sitting there, there is this lady (yes, lady, mid 30's maybe pushing 40) with stilletos (did I even spell that right?) on. To me she looked so ridiculous first of all for wearing, them beings I'm all about comfort, and trying to walk in them. It looked like to much work to try and keep herself up. There was probably a time when I cared about what I looked like than if I was comfortable or not. I'm happy to report comfort wins and I can walk a straight line no problem=)

Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Milk & This is Spinal Tap
Planes Trains and Automobiles
This movie was hilarious and could be a movie I watch again. Maybe not a hundred times like others but it was good! Favorite part of the movie was when they wake up in the hotel and John Candy's arms are around Steve Martin and he starts kissing his ear and Steve asks "where is your other hand?" John: "between two pillows" Steve: "those aren't pillows!"
"So how about those bears(maybe it was cubs...I don't recall it was just hooolarious!)"
Another fave part is when he goes to the car rental lady and starts screaming about how there was no F@#& car in the F#%# lot......
This is Spinal Tap
Sorry Scott, but I just didn't get why this was a movie I HAD to see. Grant was right, I did not get it. Was it suppose to make me laugh? The whole time I kept thinking just get over so I can say I watched the whole thing. The only semi funny thing is when Nigel drew the stone hedge they wanted on stage and put 18" and the little people were dancing around the little 18" stone hedge.
I would really love to know what you like so much about it so much you consider it a must see?
Milk
Milk we watched in January so it's been awhile. I Liked it a lot & would suggest it to someone. Sean Penn was excellent in this movie! It's funny to me how we've come so far but to think that we were fighting for rights for GLTB's 30 years ago and still fighting to this day for something so simple as equal rights for another human being! I thought it was a deep and heavy movie and was really moved by it!
So I also have there will be blood and plan to watch that tomorrow. The rest I put into my netflix queue and will watch them little by little beings I won't be off work forever and have to go back to reality. Also I still have to squeeze in my favorites=)

ok, maybe I've lived under a shell and need to expand my horizons
I'm the kind of person who sees a movie, loves it, and watches it a million times. Don't get me wrong, I've seen quite a few movies but nothing compared to say my husband. Some of my favorite movies that I've seen a hundred times...give or take, include:
Reality Bites
The original Muppet Movie
Harold and Maude
Love Actually
The Holiday
Sixteen Candles
Pretty in Pink...among others
So my husbands friend Scott was here in January and made a list (on a napkin) of movies he feels I NEED to see. So I've watched 3 so far. I plan to give a little write up of how I liked each movie and would welcome any other movie suggestions!
Scott had also informed me of what a GREAT deal netflix is especially with the ps3 so last night I joined all you other netflixers out there and finally signed up.
Here is a list of the movies I have so far:
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Rain Man
This is spinal tap
Goodfellas
2001
lord of the rings
war of the worlds
Milk
the usual suspects
the shining
hunt for red october
the truman show
schindlers list (which I did see in the theatre but don't remember it at all)
sound of music
la confidential
field of dreams
raiders of the lost arc
Reality Bites
The original Muppet Movie
Harold and Maude
Love Actually
The Holiday
Sixteen Candles
Pretty in Pink...among others

I'm Back!
I've been away for too long and I want to come back!
I found out Tuesday that I have a gallbladder full of stones and I will have to get it removed. I met with my surgeon Thursday and the surgery is scheduled for this coming Wednesday. I'm so excited to get back to life. Work, going out and about...SHOPPING! I'm trying to organize around the house slowly. I get tired out really easy and notice that my ill friend doesn't like a lot of standing. I also will be having a procedure done after that where they stick a camera through my throat to my stomach to check out my acid reflux situation. I've had it bad since 2003 and my dr. seems a little concerned. I also found out my triglycerides are high along with my bad cholesteral. I hate that I'm having these health issues at age 33 and plan to change my diet and start excercising more.
I'm still keeping up with my green living and had a Earth Day party. I showed how to make, laundry detergent, toilet bowl cleaner, all purpose spray, soft soap, and carpet deoderizer. All these recipes can be found in earlier blogs. I swear by them all. I personally have stopped making my own laundry detergent but use seventh generation.
Catlin, Amber and Samantha are coming to spend some time with us starting July 2nd and I'm so excited! I have many fun things planned and I'm sure we'll think of all kinds of fun crafts and stuff to do while they're here.

Quote of the Week 2.2.10
Hi Everyone!
I really don't have much of an update on anything. I've been reading through quotes this morning and just wanted to share some.
This past weekend we spent Friday night at my cousins Bonita and Tricia's. Saturday morning we left for St. Cloud to have our annual birthday weekend with Grant's parents, brother and his children. Grant's friend was also in a play, (Trial of the Catonsville 9), that we got to see Saturday night and it was wonderful...actually a learning experience as well! We ended our weekend in MN by visiting friends Danny and Wendy in Rice, MN. It had been a long time and was wonderful to see them and their growing children!
Hope this finds everyone doing well and staying warm!
