Dancing With The Stars

Season 11 just finished last week. It wasn't my favorite of the seasons. I think its crappy that Brandy was sent home one week shy of the finale. She had a lot of talent and really improved as a dancer. Between the final three: Bristol, Kyle, and Jennifer. I would have liked to see Kyle win. Jennifer never improved, she was the same from the beginning: decent. But she never "wow-ed" me. I also did not appreciate Derek's overly confident attitude and was tired of hearing about Jennifer's old and achey body--gimme a break!

I hope next season has less BS like that! But what to watch on Monday and Tuesday evening now!?

I think this movie looks good...

I enjoyed Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers. This looks funny!

Holiday Weekend

I love Thanksgiving. This past weekend has been great, but too fast! Tony came home Wednesday evening. Thursday we had lots of good food with great family. Thursday was also my dad's 50th Birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! We got him a toy gun with a note attached that said: "Since we can't legally buy you a gun, this is a voucher to go pick one out!" He liked it and picked his gun out Saturday with the help of my brother and Tony :)

Friday, my mom decided to go to Black Friday at like 6:00am. I was getting breakfast when she came home and she was so excited about the sales, it motivated me to go look for sales. I got dressed and ready in record time. Tony and I went to WalMart and came home with a 46" Sony HDTV for $698, originally $998! Its nice! He has been drooling over those TVs for a while now, so it was our Christmas gift to each other. We took it back to the house, then went out to do a little bit of Christmas shopping for some of the people on my list. I am now almost done with my shopping! We also saw Love and Other Drugs, my big screen "debut"--with yummy nachos and red ICEEs to snack on! :)

Saturday was more of a chill out day. Played a little Call of Duty: Black Ops with Tony on our new big TV ;) Today we are watching the Steelers play on our new big TV, but he has to go back to the academy around 4:00, booo :( Hopefully if he makes his run times this week, he will be home again next weekend!

Love and Other Drugs -- watch for me!

I posted on here last October about a movie I was an extra in. Well, it comes out today! Love and Other Drugs staring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. In the movie trailers, I am in two scenes.

Watch for me at :32 and 2:04
In the first part I'm in, its just the back of my head with my hair pulled half way back. And the second part is me walking with white scrubs pants on behind Jake. :D

So excited!

Harry Potter

Sunday I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 with my mom, dad, and brother. It was a great movie. The movies are so dark now, I would not want to take a young child to see them! I love me some HP though :)

Ron, Harry, and Hermione look so much older now. I thought all three of them did an excellent job. The picture with blood on Hermione's hands was edited in the movie trailers. The blood was too "violent" for television commercials. I think that is silly, its misleading to parents! But loved the film!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is next week--I can't wait! Always has been one of my favorite holidays. I love the family getting together. And of course the awesome food! Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pies! YUM :)

Some good books...

Again, months have passed since I last posted. Summer is over, Autumn is half way finished. My husband is at the State Police Academy. We have been waiting for over a year for this to begin. Its been something we've anxiously awaited, and yet I find myself missing him like crazy. As if I didn't realize the day would finally come when he left. He gets some weekends off.

I read two great books over the last week or so. Nicholas Sparks Safe Haven and Ben Sherwood Charlie St. Cloud. Charlie St. Cloud is also called The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud. I believe they shortened it for the film, and the book I bought was titled after the movie. Safe Haven just came out this past September. It started a little slow for my taste, but once it got going it was fantastic. Both books were great. Highly recommended!

Charlie St. Cloud is also a movie. It came out this past July and I believe it came out on DVD this past Tuesday. I hope the movie is as good as the book was.

Not sure which book I'll move onto next...
