They Just Grow Too Fast

I know I have been slackin on my post y'all.

Just haven't really had anything to write about. My life got busy all of a sudden. Don't know why.

My youngest turned 16 the other day. I feel so bad because her birthday come right after Christmas and this year, we did not even have a Christmas because we are so broke. Don't know if I can handle too much more of this.

Anyway, I can not believe she is 16, with an attitude too. I think that is automatic when a kid turns 16. I told her a few times, I brought her into this world, I can surely take her out. HA, just kidding. I would not do that, but boy they sure make you want to drink more.

I took her to get her driver's permit. Oh boy! Now, back in my day, I took the written test and the driving test all in the same day to get my license, not when I was getting the permit.

What, no you don't have to take a test for a permit, but she did. Guess what? She failed. My smart child of the bunch failed her written test. Of course she was upset.

I told her she need to review. Again, I really think my family thinks I am a total idiot.

Oh, well, it will be another couple of weeks to get back in there to take the test.

Well, I think she needed to be brought down a few notches. Things don't always work out the way you planned, as Katt Williams would say. :)

So, that is about it so far. I will let you know if she fails again. she better not.

Ghost Town

I know you are probably thinking that all I do is watch movies.

Here is another review of a movie that I thought was so funny that I will have to watch again.

The movie is called "Ghost Town" I had never heard of it. I never saw the previews or had anyone mention the movie.

I watched this movie with the hubby right after the "Eagle Eye"movie. What a great night. Some movies to get me off of the flop movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

This is a romantic comedy. Now, when I first saw that Greg Kinnear was in this movie, I knew I had to watch it. I love Greg, ever since the movie "As good as it gets".








This movie has an odd sense of humor to it. It has a touch of british humor to it. So, if you like british humor you should like this movie. I will have to say it is not all like that though.


A new comer to the screen for me anyway, some of you may have seen movies with him is a fellow named "Ricky Gervaris"


Notice is says Ricky Gervaris and not Ricky Bobby. :)


It appears as though Ricky is a writer for "The Office" which has an odd sense of humor as well.


I really like this guy.


Tea Leoni has a big part in this movie too. I like her better in comedy movies. Don't know how the rest of you feel. I think I live with or without her. I like the parts she plays but I don't rush out and buy the movies that she is specifically in.


This movie reminds me of a little of the movie "Heart and Souls" Do you remember? That was a funny movie too. Robert Downey, Jr. was a little hottie then too.

So there you have it. Another movie review. Hope you enjoy when you are all snowed in and the weather is just unbareable sitting next to the fire. This is a movie worth watching.

Big Brother is Watching.

Oh my gosh! You know you have heard this. Sometimes I would make jokes at the military base I taught aerobics at for the participants to smile and wave at big brother (the little camera eye). I bring this up because I watched the movie "Eagle Eye".





Ever since "Transformers" the movie came out,





I have been keeping a watchful eye (no pun intended :), on Mr. Shia LaBeouf. I knew he was going to be something.


My husband's friend brought over a couple of movies the other night, well Sunday night, and I happened to glance at the names and really did not feel like watching them.


I went and taught my classes and came home. Both my husband and my youngest daughter were both watching this "Eagle Eye' movie. I watched the tail end of it. Naturally, I did not have a clue about what the movie was about or anything. I dare ask, because I would get the fifth degree of not being there from the beginning.


My daughter and I happen to be bored this afternoon and she said "Let's watch that move the Eagle Eye mom, it is good."


I said Ok, what the heck. Man, that was an awesome movie. I have to tell you, this is one movie worth watching. Actioned packed. His co-star Michelle Monaghan is a good actress too.


Billy Bob Thornton is in this movie, along with Bobby Ray from "Sweet Home Alabama."


You need to watch this movie a couple of time just to catch all the little things. Although, you won't really miss the big stuff watching it the first time, but the second to pick up the small things. Just like the Transformer movie.


Oh, I just looked at Shia filmography. Holy Cow! I did not know he played in that many movies that I recognized.


yes, this is a must see movie. Get the popcorn ready and get your drinks ready, no time in the movie to get up and get it.

Who Would Have Thought

Well, somebody sure was thinking.


I think the last couple of years I have been asleep when the New Year comes around and for the last couple of years I have just went through life or that year like in a daze.


Things came and went so quickly, like I was always running to keep up. Why? I will tell you why later in another post. For now, I will tell you what I did for New Years.


This New Year's I decided i wasn't going to fall asleep through the New Years. They say that whatever you are doing at New Years will be an indication of what the year is to bring.



Went over to a friends house and they had purchased the Wii for their kidos. This Wii program had all the fitness stuff on it. The program has bowling, tennis, golf, boxing and baseball. They had the bowling game on there. I love to bowl. I have been bowling since I can remember back when I was eleven or something. It was something my dad put me in so he would have an excuse to go drink at the bar inside the bowling alley. I became really pretty good.

So, I thought I would give it a go. Holy Cow! My freakin right arm is so sore that I could hardly do my workout this morning. My triceps were just screaming at me. I could not believe it.


I also tried the Tennis, because back in high school I played tennis too. Took me a few games to get the timing down, but I really did get a good little workout.


I am truly amazed at this concept. It is a great one in order to get our kidos up and moving. Now, I just have to figure out how to get one for myself. Hehehe.


Make it a family night, if you have several controls. It would be so much fun.

Happy New Year

My last entry for the year 2008. My Gosh, I can't wait til 2008 disappears. It has been a crazy year and one that I do not want to remember. I am tired of being broke. I just want the texas wind to carry 2008 far far away.

I have new plans for 2009 and it is not being broke. I would not call them resolutions because those don't seem to last, so I have to make a change for good.

I will still keep blogging of course, this has been the only thing that I am glad I found. I am thankful for all of the followers and people who just happen to come across the blog to say HI. It is totally awesome.

So, to all of my followers, I lift a nice glass of ? (you make the call) and cheers for the new year.

Movie Flop

Yesterday, my husband and I went and saw the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", my husband had been talking about going to see it since the previews.

My friend's mom and sister were in town for Christmas and he mentioned that they wanted to go see a movie too.

We met them there early so I could go get my stale popcorn. Nothing beat popcorn from a movie theater. Stale? I don't think so. I can make movie popcorn at the house, it tasted far better. I got a Coke because I had just taken my nap from the three tall beers I had at B Dubs.

I know what a lush.

It is a good thing I took my nap because, that movie was sooooo boring, that it would have put me to sleep.

OMG, I kept waiting for something to happen. Nothing ever did. I love Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connally but I would have to give two thumbs down on this movie. Do not go waste your money on this one and wait til if comes out for rent before you go buy. You may save your money on "Burn after Reading". Now, that was a funny movie. Little strange but better than the movie I saw at the theater with stale popcorn and stale Mike and Ikes. Total bummer.

Coffee Anyone?

Well, we did not really have presents this year. Everything is too expensive anymore.

I did manage to buy a coffee maker for my hubby. My hubby is obess with electronics, tv's and coffee makers.

This one however is tha bomb! The Keurig Coffee Maker Elite

Unlike the other coffee makers this one does single cups. They also offer so many brands and different types of coffees. If can also make hot cocoa and teas.

The thing I like about this coffee maker is that if I decide that I want to have French Vanilla cup or a cup of tea at any time, then I don't have to make a whole pot. Love that.

Water is held in a reservoir so it only takes a minute to get your cup of coffee instead of having to wait. The little cups are called k-cups. What an inventive idea. Keurig has different types of coffee makes. They have a mini cup up to a 4 cup sizes.

I found you can purchase this type of coffee maker at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Target and even Lowe's my friend found one for his wife.

You can also make your own regular coffee too with a little filter basket.

So, you see you can please everyone in the house. I love it. Now, all you have to do is buy the Kahula and Brandy. :)

Happy Holidays.

Next year is going to be a great year. The best one of them all. I fee it.
