Update on Movies

I have been WAITING for some good movies to come out. This summer was awful- no good movies. Then all of a sudden within the past few months there are a bunch of movies coming out that I want to see....so here is an update on my movie list:

1. Lovely Bones- loved the book and the movie was good! My friend that I went with wanted to see more of the "attack" scene....she didn't like how it skips over that. Not me, I can use my imagination....don't need to see all of the mean details on that one.

2. Extraordinary Measures- kept telling people that I saw "Extreme Measures". Filmed in Portland...made me homesick. Was okay.

3. Leap Year- still need to catch this one.

4. When in Rome- heard it sucked; am waiting for Netflix.

5. The Book of Eli- heard it sucked; am waiting for Netflix.

6. Dear John- OMG. Am now a Channing Tatum fan. I was ready with kleenex with this one, but Sparky didn't kill the main characters like he usually does.

7. The Young Victoria- I can't seem to find this movie playing near me :(

8. Crazy Heart- still gotta see this one

9. The Wolfman- Benicio Del Toro is what I call ugly-hot. Don't get me wrong, I think he is very HOT. But his teeth are all jacked up, his eyes are buggy, and he has giant caterpillar eye brows. And yet, he is still hot. He is ugly-hot. I liked this one.

10. Valentine's Day- I thought this movie was cute. Make fun of me if you want, but I bought into the sappy movie.

Orange You Glad...

I have really been feeling the color Orange for the past few months. It makes me feel all warm inside like when I drink iced chai. It also reminds me of the D Broncos which is always a plus in my book. It all started with my orange kitchen and then my orange Blackberry. Then Bre got me this really cute orange purse....

And since my nano mysteriously went missing after Pablo's Christmas Party, I have been wanting this...

Isn't it a beauty? It would make working out so much easier....it is really hard to move ones buns sans music. Try it. You will see....you just can't run as far if you don't have some tunes pushing you forward.

Update on Post:

Pabs got me my orange ipod for Valentine's Day! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Moose turns 1 year old today!

New Ride!

Today Pablo and I bought a new car....a GMC Envoy. I LOVE it....so pretty and so much bigger than the Beetle.

There is even a step for me to get into it and a pulley on the back so I can get the trunk back down once I have opened it (things to think about when you are short, peeps!).

There are volume/radio controls on the steering wheel, leather seats and the best thing about it...
All 3 dogs can ride in the trunk! No more dogs in the backseat with Moose's head up in the driver's area! I am so excited!

The end.

Resolution 2010

I have chosen one resolution to work on in the year 2010- Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. I am going to try and change habits for my household and become a better citizen of planet earth. I will post updates throughout the year! Any tips?
