Thumbs Up On Monday
So here we go:
I give today a thumb up because it’s the beginning of a short 3-day work week. Then there will be an insane amount of shopping to be done on my “day off”. Continuing our tradition, I will be joined by my mom and sister. I, for one, am thrilled that the stores are opening up earlier this year. It sucked sleeping for 2-3 hours and having to get up - now - forget about going to bed - my shopping will start at 9pm Thanksgiving night!! All this is totally worthy of a thumb up.

It's Only Wednesday
Although it is only Wednesday, it's been one hell of a week. And not in a good way. UGH
I took my kids to see Jack and Jill for Movie Tuesday. I would rate this movie as OK. My kids are 6 and 10 and the movie was kid-friendly enough for me. There of course were some humorous parts that they obviously are too young to pick up on, but it was not offensive to them either. I like when a movie can appeal to the adults, but doesn't cross the line for the kids. Good job Adam Sandler. The highlight for me was watching my son crack-up during a bathroom blow-out scene. Every time he heard Jill fart, he cracked up. Yep - he's my kid - with my sense of humor. I laughed right along with him.
Looking forward to:

Looking forward to:
- Midnight screening of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 - you can catch me at the AMC Livonia Screen 9 showing tomorrow night.
- Having my palm/cards read by a Psychic on Friday night. Hoping she sees a better and healthier 2012 in my future.
- Sons basketball game Saturday morning - nothing beats watching a bunch of 6 and 7 year old boys shooting baskets!

My Can't Live Without Items
I'm not a high maintenance type of girl but I do have a high maintenance hairdo. No matter if I'm going out or not, I make sure my hair is done and I have makeup on. I have a few "Can't Live Without Items".
Hair
Hair
Face
Perfume
Unfortunately, Ralph Lauren Cool has been discontinued!!! It's a nightmare. I have worn this perfume exclusively for years. Not sure what I'm going to do once I suck ebay dry. Looking for suggestions for a new signature scent.
Do you have items you can't live without?

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!
