Chic Flick Wisdom...

This past weekend I did not go to any new movies. I did watch a few of my movies at home. Now I am not even sure if I remember them all, but I will give it a try. When nothing much is on I put in a movie.

Saturday, I watched Penelope. I think it is going to turn into my new favorite. I already have some parts memorized! From Penelope you learn that the most important thing is to love yourself. I think it is really cool that she saved herself, no one else did it for her and that she did not want to change she liked herself just the way she was.

On Sunday, I watched Hope Floats. That is always a good one to watch. There are a lot of quotes from that one to learn from. There is the one about beginnings being scary but just give hope a chance to float up and it will. There is also one about being extravagant with your chances. These both come from her mother. Such a smart woman, she just lived life her own way and was happy. In the end her daughter learns the same thing.

I also watched Never Been Kissed on Sunday. Another movie that I love and have memorized. I love it when she shouts "I am not Josie Grossie anymore!" This movie is so sweet. She is a different person and can be whoever she wants. Her brother helps her to see that which I thought was cool.

I did not know that I had a theme to my movie viewing this past weekend but there it is. I think I watched something else but now I can't remember the others. I thought I would share the wisdom from chic flicks.

One More Post for Today

Ok, I am copying another blogger today...

Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave a comment about you on my comments.

Have a happy day!

Bipolar at the movies

I went and saw both the number one movie at the box office over the weekend and the number two movie. Both in the same night! How is that for a double feature? How is that for polar opposites?!
Mama Mia was great. So much fun with dancing and singing from people that I did not know could sing or dance. No really, I liked it. It was fun to see.
Dark Knight was good too. Totally different but so good. Very dark as the name implies. Christian Bale is very attractive, so looking at him is not bad at all. (am I twelve? who cares, right?)
I enjoyed both movies, action, romance, comedy, suspense, singing, dancing, motorcycles, what more could I ask for?

I miss you, Ugly Betty

I was just looking online today and I found out that Henry is not coming back on "Ugly Betty." That is great because I was getting tired of him. Christopher Gorham is cute but his character was bugging me! So I thought Gio will be a shoo in for Betty! Then he is only signed on for one more episode! That is just nuts! I really liked Gio. Betty and Gio are so great together. I know these people are not real! I guess I am really missing Ugly Betty with it being summer and all. I can't wait for the new season to start. They have signed on some other guy that I don't know about. His name is Val Emmich. I have not seen him in anything. So I will have to wait and see how that goes.

Shelly Belly

My twin sister is having a baby. She is really showing. She looks so cute! She is tired and all that but I think she looks cute. She is my twin so of course I think that!
I have called her Shelly Belly before but that is just because it rhymes. Now that has a whole new meaning! ha ha
She said that lots of people at her work ask to touch her belly. Why do people do that with pregnant women?
It is getting closer. She is due August 21st. I am so excited. Little Shane is on his way very soon!

Happy Fourth of July Everybody!

Have a happy holiday weekend!
Here's some quotes in honor of the day:

"You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism." Erma Bombeck

"In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved." Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better." Camus

"Where liberty dwells, there is my country." Benjamin Franklin

"I love my freedom. I love my America." Jessi Lane Adams

I love this country. I am proud to be an American. I am thankful for the people who serve our country and who have served our country. There is no better place to be!
