Own Personal Heat Lamp

Matt and I just recently put a lamp in the den because the built in lighting is horrible and I was going blind. Well we began to notice the past couple of days that our cat has been spending a lot of time just sitting under the light and falling asleep. I thought it was so bizarre because she falls asleep sitting up! One day I started petting her and realized her fur was toasty warm! She's using the lamp as her own personal heat lamp! She is smart and I am not!

Top 10 Movies of 2010

Uncle B's list recently came out so that means it's time for my list! (mind you I haven't seen all the movies from 2010)

10. Karate Kid

I've never watched the original all the way through so I didn't have any pre-conceived notions going into this. Every time this movie made it to the #1 position in my netflix queue, I would change it! I wasn't really looking forward to watching this one. Then Friday I noticed that it made it to Instant Play so I gave it a shot. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie! The acting was great and the kung fu scenes kept my interest. ! The next day Matt and I watched the original with Ralph :) and I was impressed with how true the 2010 version was to the original.

9. You Again

Hilarious! Seriously I really liked this one.

8. Inception

Thought about it for days.

7. The A-Team

Entertaining and let's be honest, a movie with Liam Neeson is worth my time ;)

6. Toy Story 3

I cried at the end.

5. Robin Hood

This is and #3 are the only ones Matt and I could agree on. Saw this at the drive-in and fell asleep half way through. Then we rented it and watched the whole thing....it was entertaining. (I didn't fall asleep because it was boring, I fell asleep cause it was like 11pm and I'm old!)

4. Harry Potter

I seriously couldn't believe that 3 hours had gone by so quickly! I loved this movie and can't wait for the last one. HP movies have always honored the books.

3. True Grit

Loved the music and I liked that girls attitude!. The acting was great, however the ending was super depressing and I really would change it if I had the power!

2. Diary of a Wimpy Kid

HILARIOUS and cute. I loved the kids in this movie.

1. How to Train Your Dragon

The music, the story line, the computer animation were all fantastic. I love the soundtrack to this movie. I hear a sequel is in the works.

Honorable Mention: Just Wright. I really like Queen Latifah Movies!

Worst Movie of 2010: Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. I had really high hopes for this one. I mean cats and dogs that talk? I love that. Alas, it was torture.....and I sat through it.

V-Day 2004

Matt painted this for me on our first Valentine's Day together 7 years ago! I have it displayed in my den because I love it so much and I thought I'd share it.

Happy Valentine's Day!

She's Backkkk

Lauren's home!!! After serving for 18 months in the SLC South mission, she flew home today to Philly! Today was a really happy/sad day for me. I felt really sad that I wasn't there when she came riding down the escalator at the airport. I've never been to the airport to pick up a missionary! I guess the oldest child always misses out on a lot of the younger siblings milestones and big events. Pity party :(

On a happier note, I spoke to Lauren tonight and when I asked her how she was feeling she responded that she was stressed! When she got home she went to find a pair of jeans and much to her surprise found most of her clothes gone! A sister who shall not be named took Laurens clothes to college haha. Glad Lauren is adjusting!

If You Have A Minute or Two....

I really like these books and now they're making City of Bones into a movie! Check them out.
