What a Week!

-


So my boys finally found out about Webkinz. Katri not only has an influence on me, her daugther has one on my kids. ;-} They love it and it was such a bonding moment for us when we went to buy them.



I hosted movie night on Wednesday and I finally watched "Gone with the Wind". I know there are some seriously devoted fans out there, so don't mind me. It's probably one of those movies that's better seen when you're young and you don't understand the plot. In my opinin, Clark Gabel was way too old for the part and it kinda creeped me out. Was it typical for so many people to die from falling of a horse at that time!?! However, so you don't completely blacklist my blog, I did think that for a movie made in the '30s, it's very well made, well acted, and the visual effects were impressive. I did enjoy the action sequences. ;-}



Just so you know how ill-bread I am. I had lunch with Julie on Thursday and then I went and saw Live Free or Die Hard. I thought it was great. It had a good mix of action and humor. Gotta love a good action flick.



Drake fell asleep at dinner today. This is how he looks and how I feel!

There certainly is some magic that GWTW had for me as a youngster that I am not sure translates to an adult. It will always transport me because of that reason.
Perhaps watching GWTW as an adult is like what reading Pride & Prejudice as a teenager was... just not the right time.

So the Bruce Willis movie looks cool. I need to go check it out.

First I want to take Kenzie to the Nancy Drew Movie....

Wanna go with?

I still love you.

I thought watching it with you was really fun, even if you aren't a rabid fan, like I am. :-)

Rochelle, Oh Good. I was hoping that I didn't ruin it for you with all my questions. I enjoyed watching it with you too. It kept me more into the story line. Your trivia rocked too. I'm a sucker for backstories.

I saw the Die Hard flick too and I'm glad we're heathens together, even if we're in different cities. I thought it was great. The action was unrealistic, but who wants realistic when you see an action movie? The humor was great and his daughter's one liners were some of the best.

funny post.. I watched the first die hard.. before my mission I think. I haven't watched an R rated movie in years.. I am not prejudice against people who do.. there are way worse things then that!
Gone with the wind.. I haven' seen that in years.. I hardly remember it, I probably fell asleep, I usually do during movies! It has to be pretty good for me to stay awake!

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
