This morning I watched the movie Crossroads… you know the one with Britney Spears, DON’T LAUGH! haha.

It was the first thing on when I turned on the tv and I was watching it trying to figure out what it was and by the time I figured it out I was already into the storyline, so I had to keep watching to see what happened, you know. And i think it was somewhat at the beginning of the movie. You know it didnt even look like Britney at first! She looked so young and sweet and innocent… and put together, not all trashy like she is now! haha. I wonder if she was dating Justin Timberlake at the time of making this movie… because one of the songs they were singing to on the radio was “BYE BYE BYE.” Interesting… I really like the old younger Britney. She was very pretty. And I always liked that song ‘not a girl, not yet a woman.’ She performs it in the end for some contest. Oh but you know who I CAN”T STAND in the movie? Taryn Manning. I can’t stand the way she talks, she slurs everything, how can you be an actress when you can’t even speak clearly!? and she so skanky lookin… haha. ok i’m done with the rant… I think my opinion is a bit skewed with her because… at my bachelorette party they were asking me questions that they asked my fiance ahead of time for this game. And one of the questions was something like what famous celebrity would you want to sleep with… yeah his answer was that girl! Are you Kidding me?? Seriously?? haha. She’s not even pretty… sorry, I thought I was done with the rant but I guess not… SO ANYWAY… yeah I ended up watching that movie in it’s entirety, well except the beginning that i missed… and although it is geared for the teeny bopper generation… sometimes I like feeling like a kid again watching young movies…

Busy Busy week, so glad it’s over. and I’m still trying to kick this cold!! It’s tough to get over a cold when you have no rest!

Let start from the beginning… this major bug is plaguing my office, everyone is sick! I was off for a day and a half at the end of last week. I would have called in Monday too if it weren’t for payroll and my boss being out on vacation… which is a headache in itself because i have to cover for her being out as well as my own work, plus our receptionist was just fired so i have to help out up there too. Basically i’m doing 3 ppls jobs last week which brings the stress level up a bit… so anyway…

My hubby was bugging me to go see The Dark Knight with him, he’s been talking about it for months. he wanted to go opening day but I was sick and stayed home from work and everything, i wasn’t up to going. He didn’t bother me to go too much but kinda got mad by Sunday when I still turned him down. Monday asked and I said no again and Tuesday comes around and he’s getting really antsy because everyone at work is talking about it now so I finally give in. and do you know how long that movie is?? We were out until 1030, way too late when you’re sick and need your rest. But that was one kick ass movie!! It was awesome! if you haven’t seen it you’re missing out!

Wednesday I could actually rest up a little. Thursday was our quarterly office outing. We went bowling. And I kinda had to go since I’ve missed the past 2 outings… plus I had all the money because the boss left early for a minor emergency before i could hand over the money so I couldn’t back out even though I was feeling awful. But I am glad I went! It was fun, I hadn’t bowled in a long time. but this place was in the middle of, and I quote “the gayest city around here.” GREAT. now this is as controversial as I am going to get on here probably, and please don’t hate me for it, but that is one lifestyle I am no ok with. I dont discriminate, and I’m not necessarily going to think any less of you if you are, but I just don’t associate with those people. I can’t say I wouldn’t be friends with someone if they were gay, and if one of my friends told me they were gay it’s not like I would stop being friends with them because of it, but I am kind of picky with who i assoicate with and let get close to me and I dont think I attract that type of personality. and yes i could be more politically correct and say “homosexual” instead of gay, but gay is just shorter to type… haha. disclaimers aside, and back on topic… everyone in the bowling alley besides the people I worked with were gay (well i dont know of any that are in my work group but the guy who set us up there is friends with the owners of the place so who knows, but i’m not speculating…) Oh and if you would like to witness the grand scheme of things, here is what we found… I did not take this pic, one of the girls took my camera because she thought it was the funniest “couple” there…

Back to the bowling!… it always takes me a game to warm up. I only got 75 my first game! but I was not in last place either! haha. 2nd game I was on a hot streak at first but then slowed down and ended up in the high 80’s. and the 3rd game just blew up and broke 100! I got a 102 haha. I was excited, ok. Then afterwards I even got sucked into to going and getting food with a small group of people. But this pushed us getting home at 11pm and not sleeping til after 12! Crazy. And I had a dinner to go to after work so I couldn’t even go home and chill…

Friday night was great and worth it even though I had a rough week and was tired from the night before. I had never been to a Brazilian Steakhouse before! Let me tell you, it was an awesome experience and one of a kind! First, they have a dress code! I’ve never been to a restaurant with a dresscode before! -which is an experience all in it’s own. And the best part was it was free for me lol. One of my account managers said once he reached his sales goal he’d take the team out, and I was included which was really nice because I don’t contribute the way the others do to reach that goal since I’m not a “producer.” But I am extremely honored to be included with them.

So off we go to this Brazlian Steakhouse. If you’ve never been to one, here’s how it works. It’s basically an all you can eat type of place. They have a small salad bar with salads, pastas, bread, veggies. Then they bring out small dishes to the table like mashed potatoes (which were really creamy and good, almost soupy though) and some kind of weird things I wasn’t familiar with haha, and then the “gauchos” would come around with these sticks full of meat and carve some off for you right there at the table. Now the trick is the little chips you have on your table. Each person has a chip that is orange on one side and black on the other. The gauchos will only offer you meat if you have your chip on orange. Otherwise they just stay away. But if you have it up they will come back and back and back again offering you more and more choices. And on each stick goes from rare to well done, you can still choose how you want it cooked. You really can pig out a place like that, you just want to try a little of everything!

so another late night last night! And today we went to see The Dark Knight for a 2nd time!! No idea why the hubby wanted to see it again! He never wants to go to the movies but he wants to go see one we’ve just seen less than a week ago?? So I obliged… but he had to really talk me into it!

and this is officially the longest blog I’ve ever written… haha. Hope some of you are still hanging on at least!

I had a pizza and movie  date with my hubby tonight . I picked Dan in Real Life.  I’m not going to try to be a movie critic or anything, so maybe I shouldn’t title it “review” but that is what it is basically. But just my opinions of the movie

Dan in Real Life stars Steve Carell (from The Office- love that show btw) and Dane Cook (the comedian) and also Juliette Binoche who is in mostly international films it looks likes. Dan (Carell) is a widower with 3 daughters and Mitch (Cook) is one of his brothers and Marie (Binoche) is a love interest. Basically the whole thing is set at their parents house for an annual family gathering. Of course all families have their ups and downs/good times and not so good of times and it just takes you through that. It is a comedy- if you couldn’t’ tell, so you will laugh a lot! I laughed, I cried (well close, I got a little teary) then laughed again, cried again, laughed again… back and forth really. So if your moods are feeling a bit unstable I suggesting waiting until you balance out to watch this movie… haha.

One of my favorite parts is (if you’ve seen previews you have probably seen this part) the middle daughter is mad at her dad for sending her boyfriend away because shes obsessively in love with him but has only known him for 3 days and he is older. She screams at him “YOU ARE A MURDERER OF LOVE.” so funny. But the even funnier part of it is when they are discussing talents. One of the sisters says that Dan doesn’t have a talent and he replies, “oh yes I do, I am a murderer of love, write that down.”

 

It’s a good movie, I recommend you go rent it! I give it… 4 out of 5 stars.
