Are You Ready?

 

Will I be one of the Twi-Hards waiting for the midnight showing next Thursday night? 

 

YES!!!!!!  AND I CANNOT WAIT!!!  I'm dragging GTuck, Jenny Jenny & Chrissy along with me too! 

 

In case you were wondering, I'm totally Team Edward all the way.  

 

I do believe that this is when the story really starts get interesting.  We'll meet some new characters, and see a more mature side of all of our old favorites. 

Yeah - I know how the story turns out - but I am looking forward to seeing it in all of it's Hollywood splendor. 

 

Movie Tuesday Review

Well for Movie Tuesday we went to see A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas. 

First, let me say this is the third Harold & Kumar movie, but it is the first one I have seen.  Rest assured, I am fairly confident that I did not miss much by not catching the first two!

Obviously I was not expecting an Oscar-worthy movie.  But seriously, this movie is full of unbelievable dumbness.  Ok, I did laugh - but how can you not laugh at just plain ridiculous.   

I did love the cheese ball 3D.  NPH was HI-larious.  His 10 minutes of screen time was great.   Loved all the crazy stereotypes that were offensive as hell.  Loved the vulgar claymation. Hey, even Santa made a cameo!  I walked away from this movie with a smile.  And sometimes that's all this GurleeGirrl wants - to escape from the real world and laugh.  Mission accomplished.

So overall, I'm embarrassed to say it - but I can't give this movie a Shitty rating or even a Not Good rating - I have to give it an Ok (Good), because for $8 it took 1-1/2 hours of my Tuesday and made it pretty darn amusing.

FYI - Rotten Tomatoes gives it a FRESH 76%.  Definitely not kid-friendly and I probably wouldn't recommend it for a first-date movie, unless your both pot-heads - then go for it.

Are You Addicted?

How many hours a day do you spend playing games on your phone?

I will admit, I have played my fair share of games, but I recently went through a slow-down.  It seemed to monopolize way too much of my time.  I would stay up till 2:00am playing with people.  I'm the type of person that hates having a game going where it's my move.  So if it pops up it's my turn, I play.

With the break I took, it's funny to see how the lack of play affected my opponents.  I would get texts to "play our game", or others would yell at me in person to "play a word", or "are you ever going to play, it's been xx hours or xx days!".  This cracked me up.  Are you kidding me?  People its a GAME.  Relax.

But now I have downloaded a new App - Poker Pals. 

And guess what - I'm sitting here phone-in-hand waiting for people to make a move!  It's crazy.  It's a Poker game, but you build your hand off the cards on the board.  I'm loving it.  I'm not a great Poker player, but I get the gist so far. 

So, if you are a player - look me up - GurleeGirrl

I'd love to play you!

Tomorrow watch for my review of:

Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas

One of Those Days

So it's a RARE occasion that I crave chocolate.  Don't  get me wrong, I love me some junk food, but I normally crave me a greasy hamburger, chili cheese fries or something yummy like that.  I can't remember the last time I needed/wanted chocolate. 

So I scavengered around for some change - to go to the wonderful snack machine here at work.  Well, once I got there - they didn't have what I craving....

Our machine doesn't disperse such wonderful things.  It only normally has a small selection of candy bars like Snickers (yuck), Twix (getting better) and M&Ms (normally the winner).   So I almost pushed the button to get some M&Ms - but then I seen this - and decided it was a much better way to go.  Not because it is chocolaty goodness, but because it's a healthier choice.  Damn - when did I become so health conscious.

Well it wasn't chocolate - but hey - it totally cured my sweet tooth. 

What's your snack weakness? What would you have gotten out of that snack machine?

Ready for the Weekend!

Tonight I will be celebrating with one of my bffs for her 30th birthday.  It's about time she reach "adulthood"!

Jenny, Jenny I hope you have a wonderful birthday tonight.  I hope you drink as many Lemon Drop shots as you can stand (without puking).  I hope you get lots and lots presents. I hope you know we love you :)

We will be doing our partying at Hermanns Olde Towne Grille in Plymouth, MI.  I will be sharing these:

"Mooseballs" - Bite sized beef and bleu cheese mooseballs in a port wine au jus.

and

Margheritta Pizza - Roma tomatoes, pesto, fresh mozzerella, pepperoni, olice oil, & garlic on our char grilled crust.

with this terrific guy:

Looking  forward to a great night with great friends.

Going to EAT TODAY - Exercise tomorrow :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Halloween Recap

Well it was a fun Halloween.  This was the first year that my kids wanted to go separately.  This created some anxiety for me, however, it turned out to be perfect.

My daughter - who at 10 thought she was too old to go trick-or-treating - decided to go as a "Devil Girl". 

Love the EMO look.  Took several photos - but her serious EMO look was standard in them all.  Can't wait to show her this one in a few years :)

My son decided he wanted to be War Machine from Iron Man 2 this year. 

He is always the poser for me.  He seems to be saying "Don't worry mom!  I will beat this ghoul up for you.  Hi-yah!!"  He always takes care of me :)

I love that halfway through we had to take a candy pit stop.

Afterall - he is my kid :)

Luckily there wasn't much left this year!

And even Malibu got in on the dressing up this year!

All in all we had a great Halloween!

Now - just trying to get pumped up for Christmas.....

How Do You Spend a Sick Day At Home?

Well unfortunately I was hit - hit hard - with some sort of bug.  It started out as a sore throat, then a phlegmy cough, then achiness, then a headache.  You get the picture.  I felt SHITTY! 

I decided to call in sick to work on Tuesday.  Hate calling in sick, and if it wasn't for the headache, I probably wouldn't have. 

So besides sleeping 7 hours of the day - I didn't achieve too much.  At all.

Again on Wednesday I stayed home. I tried to watch some DVR'd TV.  Now this isn't the type of TV that you must devote 100% of your attention to.  This is the type of TV that you can have on while you are napping on the couch.

So - I caught up on a few episodes of:

Watched a few from last season and the first 3 from this season.  Not sure if this season is as good, but I guess they are developing the storyline still.

I LOVE this show.  I guess I have a soft spot for reality TV, but I really love the Bruce family.  Everyone can relate with their struggles.  Also, as bad as it sounds, it's refreshing to see kids having to some responsibility.  They aren't spoiled.  They pay for their "fun" things.  I think that's the way it should be. 

Also watched some old:

Because it's awesome. 

When you are home sick, what do you do?
