Movie Therapy

I've been watching a lot of movies lately...ALOT!!! Some I've bought...some I rented...some I had seen before and bought anyway...some I bought and still haven't seen...it's been good "therapy" as Jessica put it. Maybe...it takes my mind off things...and really good movies are always good for the soul...and I think of really good movies kind of like books...you can learn something...even if it's only about yourself. :)

1. Blood Diamond...saw it in the theatre, but LOVE this one...watch it!!!

2. Bobby...rented it...really liked it.

3. Rumor Has It...I love Shirley Mcclain in anything! I cried my eyes out. Of course I did watch it right after the next one.d

4. World Trade Center...everyone has their own sad story dealing with 9/11, and I definitely have my own demons from that day...week...I thought it was a great movie.

5. Volver...started off thinking it was kind of weird...Spanish humor is different from American humor, but by the end I was loving it (subtitles).

6. Half Nelson...another great movie...little bit of a let down on the ending.

7. Come Early Morning...great, great movie about finding out who you really are. Cried at this one, too.

8. Running with Scissors...eh...

9. Off the Map...a little slow...but liked it a lot. It was really cute.

10. Dreamland...coming of age story...slow...but good.

11. Empire of the Sun...I love war movies, and this one is an all time classic.

12. The White Countess...another war movie...slow, not so good...but love Ralph Fiennes.

13. Beowolf and Grendle...I don't care what it was about it had Gerard Butler and his Scottish accent in it!!!

14. Children of Men...loved it in the theatre, and the second time, too. Plus my boyfriend Clive Owen is in it.

15. The Horse Whisperer...my girlfriend is in this one when she was little...Scarlett Johannson...all time classic...cried.

I know there's more, but can't remember right now...The ones I haven't watched yet are Pursuit of Happyness...the first season of Party of Five...and some others...dang...my memory sucks right now!!!

Works going ok. The days go by fast. Gabby is good. Getting taller every minute!

Seriously, your spelling is atrocious in this post. You're getting a dictionary for your 30th birthday! "Happyness"??????

Love movie therapy! I'm watching "Love's Abiding Joy" tonight and I have a few others on my list. Another one I liked is "Raising Victor Vargas". You should rent that one. I'll try to come up with some other suggestions.

Love ya!

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
