2010 a new decade, a new adventure

I know, I know, what? Another blogger and what is this about. Well, not much other than my perspective on my little world. I see things as an opportunity, a new adventure. I get this exciting feeling in my stomach, like when you go to a movie and you just got your munchies and have sat down. Its almost time, the previews are beginning and shortly the lights dim for the film to begin. This is similar to life! Life is like a movie at times, with its high and low points but every day its your day to make it how you want it to be. A comedy or drama.Boy we know those people who make everything a drama. A surreal moment where you find yourself in the same mundane routine. Snap out of it! I say enjoy whatever it is, for it is only a moment and it will pass and something new and exciting will take its place. Cherish it. Before you know it, you'll see your reflection in the mirror and say "when did I turn 40?" or realize your little baby is now off to high school. So pass the popcorn and enjoy the show!

Its the end of January 2010 and this month has gone by so quickly I need to stop for a moment and reflect. I have been truly blessed with good health (ok I need to get to the gym more regularly, need to lose the holiday pounds) and a great family. I enjoy my baking and scrapbooking hobby when I can get to do them, mainly on the weekends. I really need to get some time to work on my projects but in time that too will get accomplished. I have no resolutions this year just some goals.

1. Focus my time on what matters most to me (kids and husband, scrapbooking, downtime)
2. Enjoy my love for movies with my husband (we both enjoy movies, not so much TV shows, we are movie junkies)

Okay, now let's talk about what I really love...my kids will have to wait a moment, good thing its naptime. Let's focus on the task at hand.

I have not been to the movies in awhile. The last film I saw was Sherlock Holmes, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend it to everyone, not kids but its a great film. Robert Downey has done it again, superb performance. A very smart, witty character and I loved the recap of the story when he explains how he deduced what transpires. I will not go into more detail than that, it will ruin it for those who have not had the pleasure of seeing it as of yet. A definitely movie I will plan to purchase.

Next on my list to see is Avatar, I am a huge fan of sci-fi movies and books. I hear fantastic recommendations about this movie. We shall see, maybe in February I can talk my hubby for a matinee showing.

The other night at home we watched Disney's remake of Race to Witch Mountain with The Rock - Dwayne Johnson. It's a good family movie, heck there really are not that many these days for those of us with kids to enjoy together. This one I recommend.

We also recently, (the hubby and I) watched Twilight, his first time and my 4th time watching it, I think. He read the book recently and wanted to see how different they were from one another. I have read all the books, like most people seem to have and I already saw New Moon at the theater in the fall and really enjoyed that one, more so than the first. Talk about a budget making or breaking a film. My husband asked if I liked New Moon more so than Twilight, my response and thought... Who wouldn't with all the good looking men, physically well...hot, they all seemed to be shirtless and have hot bods. I am very interested in seeing how the third film will turn out compared to the previous two.


Tonight after spending time with the kids playing a rousing game of Wii bowling or tennis and the kids are off to bed. I think I will have to watch The Patriot, I have been wanting to watch this again. I think Mel Gibson is a great actor and have to admit I have most of his films in my library of DVDs. Yes, the man has issues. Who doesn't this days? His just happen to be little more public than most everyone elses. I enjoy the idea of what a family must have gone through in that time frame and Mel's character going nuts on the Red Coats when they take Health Ledger's character away after killing the second son. Okay I have gotten ahead of myself. If you have not seen it, its a great movie, how historically accurate, I am not certain. Entertaining and a good film to enjoy on a cold winter night with the hubby.

I better make certain I have popcorn for tonight or I guess I will be making a run for the grocery store soon. Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats the show is about to begin. Enjoy the show!
