~movie review and a good cry~

***this may be considered a spoiler, even though i don't really give much away~~just be warned***

if you haven't had a good cry lately, and i'm talking a full on sobfest, go to see the movie "bridge to terabithia." my mom and sister-in-law wanted to go see this and called me to go with them. i had never even heard of it before. it's a kid movie. apparently it was also a book. who knew? i decided to go along. my brother and boyfriend were not about to sit through this, so they went to a more "manly" movie, 23. i wished that 300 had come out this week because there is no way in h-e double hockey sticks (who remember alice???) that i'm going to go see that with him. what's with all the numbered movies? anyway, so the boys went to the psycho movie and the girls went to the kid movie.

now don't get me wrong. this was a fabulous movie. i loved it. in fact, i would probably even go see it again tomorrow. it was that good. the kids in this movie were so cute. the little sister was the cutest thing i've ever seen (well, after my cute neices and nephew!). i didn't really know what to expect, and the WHACK! right out of the blue...the tears start flowing. i lean over to my mom about 5 minutes into the waterworks and say, "gee mom, thanks for bringing me to such an uplifting show!"

honestly, you should go see this movie. but be warned...take some tissue or maybe even a towel!!

you are what???

so tonight, i was sitting at home doing some homework. my boyfriend decides we should order a pizza for dinner. ok, i'm fine with that. there is a new pizza hut just down the street. so i pull up their number and give them a call. after the standard 2-3 minute wait on hold (why does every pizza joint do this?), i ask the nice person who answered what their specials are. they have this cheesybite pizza, that has cheese sticks built in to the pizza. interesting. i say ok, we'll have one of those. this was his reply..."um, we are out of large pizzas." i said, "excuse me?" silence. then, "yeah, we don't have any large pizzas." so i'm thinking ok, we don't need a large. there are only two of us. a medium will be fine. i said, "ok, we'll take a medium cheesybite pizza." again silence. "um, the cheesybite pizza's only come in large." well isn't that just looking up your old address? who runs out of pizza at 830 on a saturday night?

wierd. godfather's wasn't out of any pizza! it was delish.

do you know...

...what's better than having dinner with good friends you haven't seen for a while...

what i love? spending time with good friends. a few of my good friends, wendy, steph, karen and leeann, that i don't get to hang out with that often are coming over for dinner tonight. that's the best...hanging out with old friends and catching up. we all worked together about 4 years ago for probably about 5-6 years. then we all sort of went different ways, some with new careers, others because their boss was a jerk. so last fall, we all got together for dinner one night because we hadn't seen each other for a long time. since then, we've tried to do it at least every few months. it's been so great! so tonight, we are gathering at my house (hence the do you know what i hate post below!!!) the best part is i'm not doing the cooking!! my friend wendy is bringing her famous chicken enchiladas. yummy!!!

...who wants to clean when there is blogging to be done...

what i hate? cleaning. it's a pain in the butt. i guess it wouldn't be such a pain, perhaps, if i did it more often than i do. but who wants to clean when there is blogging to be done? if i had 10% of the time i spent on blogs and put it into cleaning each week, my house would be immaculate!! maybe i should work on that. then there is the other issue that pulls me away from cleaning...crafting!! come on, with a show of hands, who would rather make cards than clean? i know, i see all those hands out there!!

ok, fine...i'll go finish. of course i had to take a break to come and blog for a minute!! and check on my shackies!!
