SS Part 6: Movie Madness!

After my car got totaled on Wednesday, I decided to take Thursday off. No work. I did not lesson plan, and I did not clean anything. I stayed in bed all morning and I only left the house to go to work. I rented 3 DVDs from Redbox (hence my trip to the store).

I watched New Girl...

Which I think is an okay show, but not the greatest. I read on TwoCents that Jess is a combination of adorable and annoying, and I think that's a pretty accurate description...

After the Oscars, I decided I'd watch the movies I hadn't seen yet that won awards. On my list: 

Moneyball

The Iron Lady

The Artist

Jane Eyre

The Muppets

Yesterday, I watched 

To be honest, it was boring. I like sports movies that are more about people than sports, but in this particular case, I just wasn't a huge fan. I sort of felt like it started slow, and the ending was a letdown. But the whole "going against the grain, turning out to be right, changing the way everyone works" thing is kind of cool. And the little song sung by his daughter is cute. I liked the singing at the end. But why turn down a million dollars if you don't have something better to do? I don't quite get that...And why did Jonah Hill get an Oscar nomination? 

Today, we watched 

Not bad! I'm a big Muppet fan, so I'm really happy that this generation got to see some of the awesomeness that I experienced as a child. Go Jim Henson! I think it's interesting that Amy Adams dresses basically the same way in every scene in every movie she's in. And that Jason Segel sings the most random songs ever (see HIMYM, "You Just Got Slapped").

I'm currently watching 

First of all, Juliana Paes is gorgeous. Second, that is definitely the guy who played Superman! And how fabulous are her shirtdresses? I really want to go shopping now. 

Cheers!

SS Part 5: AAHHH! I mean...shopping time!

I'm posting a barrage of updates all at once because, well, I ended Wednesday evening with a bang (and a crash, smash, boom, bam, insert more sound effects here).

On my way home from Pie Rush Wednesday, this is what happened: 

My mom and I played Taps and saluted, and the tow truck guy took off his hat during the song.

Bye, Carla. We had some good times together.

SS Part 4: Sleep in, New Phone, Free Pie!

This probably sounds ridiculous to most people, but today I got to sleep in til 7, and stay in bed til 8. It was awesome!


And since it's Wednesday, we went to get pie! Who can argue with free pie?





Then I went to the mall to take the the Smart Phone Challenge at the Microsoft store.If you win, you get a new laptop. If you lose, you get a new phone. It's a win-win! Since the line was so incredibly long, I took pictures of the incredible Lego creations at Legoland. They never cease to amaze me. Here's a transformer. They also had a globe, a horse, a bookshelf (MADE OF LEGOS!!) and a centaur!



Oh--and I lost the challenge (my phone is a slowpoke), so here's my new phone!

SS Part 3: A New Do, An Unfortunate Adventure, and Free Food!

I got up this morning and went to the hair salon. It's called V.I.P., so of course I feel quite important now.

I had an unfortunate adventure, though...I spent over an hour driving back and forth getting things I'd forgotten to put in my purse...










But life goes on.


Then I after hanging out with some friends I went to Casa de Parents (my parent's house) to hang out with the fam! Two things I can always find at my parents' house: board games and free food (not to mention good company!). Love it!

Guess I haven't made much progress on my list, but I'm still having a good time so far...

SS Part 2: Sunset walk and midnight moves!

Ah, Sunday. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, the weatherpeople predicted a beautiful day--and they were right. Wow.

I went to Zumba class before church, then headed home after to make banana pancakes (yum!).

We had plans to rent a movie, but since it was such a nice day, we walked around the lake instead. What a beautiful sunset.

And of course, what's an evening stroll around the lake without an ice cream stop?

What would I do for a Klondike bar? Apparently I would walk  3.1 miles.

After returning home and missing my favorite show (Hulu, here I come!) I headed out again to dance the night away with fabulous salsa band Sensacion Latina! I was a little rusty (it's been a while since I've danced) but it was so much fun, I didn't realize how fast the time flew! If I were Cinderella,  I'd have turned into a pumpkin.

What fabulous day!
