Movie Review - Friends with Benefits

(If you didn't read the previous post about my reviews, please do) FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS Overall, not good!! WAY too much sex, nakedness, etc. Unnecessary for the story. The story itself wasn't bad. Cute chick-click romance with a happy ending. But I saw way too much of Justin Timberlake's skin. Not much was left to my imagination and it just didn't need to be done. If you want a similar story, that you're not embarrassed to watch with your mother or sister, check out NO STRINGS ATTACHED. Same premise without the skin.

Movies

One of my more fun summer goals is to watch a new-to-me movie every day. So far I've watched some good ones and some not-very-good-at-all ones. I've watched comedies, dramas, action, true stories, chick-flicks, etc. It's been fun!! I'm utilizing the library, my netflix one month trial (which I'll probably pay one extra month to get through the summer), a blockbuster free month, and so far I've only rented one at redbox. Not bad! I keep thinking I should review the movies. Or at least some of them. Since I'm so far in, I think I'll just start here, and perhaps mention some previously viewed, if appropriate, such as in the first review. See next entry! Hope you enjoy the journey with me!!

Nothing vs. Everything

As I sit here on the first official day of summer, I keep thinking I should be doing something. You know, get started on my long list of projects.

Actually, I did start on one this morning. My book list. It's getting there. Yay!!

Anyway, I'm feeling guilty for not being productive. Then I remember - I HAVE ALL SUMMER!!!! So, back to doing nothing it is :)

Belated - Biblical Balderdash

FOUND THIS TODAY (6/3) unpublished from back in February. Thought I'd publish it today anyway.

Pretty sure that the game where you make up definitions and meanings of acronyms is Balderdash. There's also a part where you make up laws. Or finish the wording anyway.

So, in my reading of the Bible in a year, I got to Exodus where they're putting forth all the rules and laws. Seriously reminded me if the game. If your bull gores a neighbor... If a man sells his daughter... Etc. In today's world, they sound crazy. But I suppose they were necessary way back then.

Just found it interesting. And seriously, I kept thinking of the last time I played the game with a bunch of friends (RUMC group). It was a great time.

Pretty sure I wouldn't have made it through the reading if I hadn't been chuckling cuz I kept coming up with alternation endings. Probably not very proper of me.

(I titled this belated cuz I should have written it 2-3 days ago)

finally

It's SUMMERTIME!!!! I still can't quite believe that school's out and I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I'm not sorry, just in disbelief :) I have a long list of things to do this summer. Most importantly though is to spend every moment possible with my baby girl, George. God has given me a kind of peace about the whole situation and reminds me daily to enjoy the moments I get and not to stress about the future. I am doing everything I can to keep her comfortable and happy. God's got the rest taken care of for us. While not petting George, I'll be going through pictures, making scrapbooks for old friends, doing things around the house, perhaps organizing my work computer and saving files to storage space, watching lots of movies, reading many books, trying not to sweat out my body weight, and so much more!!! Ah, summertime... finally. Yep, it's starting to sink in :)
