My sister is having her baby tomorrow. We're all so excited for the new little baby to join the family. And my poor sister is happy to be done with the pregnancy. It's been a relatively uneventful pregnancy, but she's had to deal with a lot of swelling in her legs and ankles this last month. Just one more day.

Yesterday, I went and saw ( Read more... )

So happy with the Oscars last night! I know it was pretty predictable, but all the ones I wanted or thought should win did. That pretty much never happens. Sandra Bullock totally deserved her Oscar for The Blind Side. And I actually cheered when Kathryn Bigelow and The Hurt Locker won. Yes!! That movie is one of the best movies I've seen in a ( Read more... )

So, the Oscars are tomorrow night. I've seen a good number of the films that are nominated, though there a few I still would have liked to have seen. I never saw An Education, Precious, The Last Station, Crazy Heart,or A Single Man. Out of the ones I've seen, I think The Hurt Locker is, far and away, the best film of the year. I liked Avatar, ( Read more... )

Warning: this post is going to be chock-full of randomness.

Don't you hate it when you get a bad raisin in your Raisin Bran? Usually, you can tell a bad raisin from a good one, but in cereal, you can't tell. It's all stealthy in the cereal and the milk. Gross!

I have two new favorite shows this year and both are very different. Glee makes ( Read more... )

I got my Harry Potter tickets today!!! I'm so excited! I only got tickets for the midnight show for me and a few of my friends. I'll also be going on Wednesday with one or both of my sisters. Mandy has to see if she can get off of work. I want to see it in IMAX and those tickets aren't on sale yet. They better be showing it in in IMAX ( Read more... )

I have to get better at updating over here. I'm all about posting on Facebook because it's quick and easy. The longer posts here seem to fall by the wayside. Shame on me ( Read more... )

Finally, we have some beautiful weather! I thought perhaps the warm weather had forsaken us this Spring. I took advantage of it this morning by laying some fertilizer/weedkiller down on the lawn. Yard work is not my favorite thing in the world by any stretch, but this just required me walking back and forth with the spreader ( Read more... )

I watched my nephew last night. Well, it was me, my mom, and my sister. Connor doesn't get one babysitter, you see. He gets an entourage. Hee! He's such a hoot! We were watching Diego and he had a penguin. Diego was trying to teach him to walk and Connor was trying to mimic him. So, I taught him how to waddle like a penguin. When Mandy and ( Read more... )

I saw Watchmen last night. Not knowing anything about the graphic novel or any of the characters, I enjoyed it. I'm glad I didn't read it first and went into it blind. I had no preconceived notions or expectations. There were problems with the movie. Some scenes went a little longer than they should have. At times, the movie felt self- ( Read more... )

There's a new Harry Potter trailer out! :::squeals::: I can't wait for the movie. 133 days!!!

A bunch of us are going to see Watchmen tonight. It's paying in the Imax theater. It's my first time seeing a movie in there. It should be cool. I know absolutely nothing about the Watchmen, but the movie looks really cool. I was tempted to read ( Read more... )
