Take Me to the Cinema...

Made it to the cinema twice this month thus far. Once with the girls, once with the Hubbs. These are my opinions, not to influence anyone..however if they do, my plan of world domination is right on track.....

More like The Flop in my book. Don't get me wrong, this movie was good. And true. But I had high expectations for Rachel McAdams and the Tates. I was thinking "man, better take my tissues and get ready for The Notebook Part Deux." {Cue annoying buzzer sound.} eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhkkkkkkkkkkkkkk WRONG. I did not cry. Not once. Except for when I almost died laughing at the Little Sister. SPOILER ALERT******** I was so angry by the end, which I didn't expect to happen to abruptly, that I couldn't see straight. I wanted her to remember her dang husband, and all the sweet flippin stuff he'd ever done. Ugggghhhhh... whatever. I'm over it now..kinda...not really.

Hubbs and I caught this fun flick last night:

If you are pregnant or have self-image issues I warn you now.. don't watch this movie. Reese brought out her big guns and she will make you never want to touch a bad food again. Seriously. 

Hubbs and I gave this movie 2 thumbs up. Just enough violence (and scantily clad Reese) for him, and a feel good story for me. Also, one of the main character's name is Tuck... BAZINGAAA! Enjoy and You're Welcome!! :)

Weekend Rewind

This weekend was a special one for us at the E casa.. you see.. looking back at our calendar, this was THE FIRST weekend in 5 weeks that we DID NOT have something planned!! We spent the weekend being lazy and it was SO MUCH FUN!!  Friday night was pizza and pj's.. and I got some great news.. I entered this giveaway back around Thanksgiving and I found out Friday night that I WON!! Pretty fabulous belt right ???!!?? Hop on over to Pop of Style and drool over Missy's stylings! She also has a shop where you can buy her awesome clothes!! 

Fab Feather Belt

Saturday we had a lunch and movie date.. New Year's Eve did not disappoint.. a star studded cast, laughter and a few tears! We highly recommend it this holiday season!

We also did a little shopping.. what's a Saturday without some shopping, right?? We snagged some super snazzy Holiday pj's for our upcoming family sleep overs.. Pictures to come !!!

Ryan Gosling is way hot.. oh yeah, the movie was pretty good too

Last night Hubbs and I decided to catch that movie that we missed on Saturday. Clooney AND Gosling ?? Sign me up!! 

We got to the theater and were pleasantly surprised to find that we had the ENTIRE place to ourselves. Tuesday+Torrential Downpours= no one at the theater in Cookeville. Score for us. I can get a bit gabby during movies. It's a terrible habit and Hubbs wants to strangle me with a handful of popcorn most of the time. 

See Hubbs?? Back row, dead center..

Something else surprising happened last night as well.. I got THIS at the ticket counter..

My ticket.. this flimsy piece of register paper is my ticket ??!!?? I assume this is a GO GREEN attempt but I don't much care for it. I like a nice cardstock ticket. I use to keep EVERY. SINGLE. movie ticket in high school and college. I pinned them on various cork boards and adhered them in several scrapbooks.Twas a sad night to realize these days may be over.

Just sad

The movie was pretty good stuff. Colorful Language and Dirty Politics, the usual these days. Not an "on the edge of your seat" kinda movie but a "OhNoHeDidn't" moment here and there. Did I mention Ryan Gosling is in this movie?? Never ever piss this cat off. He'll get ya..and he'll get ya real good. 

************

On a funny note.. we were waiting for previews to start and I was harassing Hubbs about various things. Once of which was the picture of THIS FABRIC. 

The conversation went a little something like this:

K: Check this out
Drew: What's that
K: It's some fabric I bought on clearance at hobby lobby today. I'm gonna use it to recover the shade of the lamp on your dresser. 
Drew: Is that flammable?
K: Uhhh no (not sure)... Do you like it?
Drew: I mean it's a pattern. And that one is kinda girly. I wouldn't wear it.
K: If I based every decorating fabric decision on a pattern you'd wear on a shirt, I wouldn't have much to choose from.
Drew: It could be a lot worse, we could be living in Tap-Out gear.
  Excellent Point Hubbs... Excellent Point. Yet another reason why I love him so! 

Something Borrowed

Seen it yet?? We watched it in theaters and again this past weekend at the lake. It's a great movie! And came from a book by Southern writer Emily Giffin Her follow up book Something Blue is a fun, easy read when you have a weekend to spare. While watching this movie, there is a love scene on a rooftop that is absolutely dreamy. I'm a firm believer that music makes the moment and this particular moment was brought to life by The Civil Wars and their jam, Poison & Wine. Since Friday I have gotten my hands on a copy of their cd, (Thanks Hubbs) and I was pleasantly surprised to find a Jackson 5 cover on there.  I was riding down the road rocking out and the song started, I immediately started singing the words but for the life of me couldn't figure out why I knew them in the first place. Then the light bulb came on.. I was giddy with delight and have been singing their version for a few days straight now on repeat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..

 The teaser at the end of Something Borrowed for Something Blue was spot on, I just hope it makes it into the theaters. Please OH Pleaseeeee
