Movie Review for "The Proposal"

I saw the proposal this past week at the VIP theatre in the MOA. First off, I definitely think for two bucks more it is worth it to go with the VIP Theatre. You can drink, and you get a larger more comfortable chair and a little table to put your items on. People wait on you and you do not have to go in search of the junk you like to eat during movies. I do recommend showing up early however, you never know if it may sell out quickly.

The proposal is a movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. Ryan Reynolds is Sandra's secretary so to speak in the movie, and upon being told she is being deported she tells her superiors that she and Ryan are in love and that they are going to get married. Ryan is stunned and one thing leads to another in this crazy, quirky story.

I thought the movie was witty and full of laughs. I give it a rating of one Milky Way and most of Orion's Belt. It's a great film to go see with your significant other.

Pickin' Weeds in a Heat W@VE!

Holy Cow it's hot. I like it warm but when it's this humid, no thanks. Today I spent an hour outside in the heat trying to kill weeds. The weeds in some ares are about as tall as me. At first I thought maybe they were some sort of plant that was supposed to be there, but with how fast they are growing, I don't think so. I sprayed every weed in the cement around the house, and in the driveway with weed killer. I pulled out weeds in the front yard (Now it looks kinda bare in front of my picture window, I hope those were all weeds lol). I also pulled up weeds in the back along the fence, though I still have a ways to go in that part of the yard. I think to some point it would just be easier to start over in some areas.

SL

So, some of you may know, and others may not, there is a game on facebook called Sorority Life. I'm addicted to it. You basically get to play games and earn clothes and dress up your avatar, and grow your sorority house and get bigger and better jobs and on and on and on. I love it and I have no idea why. I think I just like to see how big I can get my house to be and what sort of great clothes I can get for my avatar. There is also a game somewhat like it called Celebrity Life, it is also fun, but not quite as indepth as Sorority Life. If any of you are bored on facebook and want to check out either of these games, send me a message and I'll send you a link. It's kinda fun.

Been a While

I know I haven't been on here in a while. I've been sorting through a lot of things in my head, and enjoying the sudden beginning of summer in the past three days. This past weekend we had a remembrance party for the life of my Grandfather. The majority of the family was there. I also got to see several family friends whom I had not seen in a while. We played outdoor yard games, and everyone took a shot of tequila during the song "Tequila" in memory of my Grandfather, because that was his favorite song. I think he would have loved the party and been happy with the turnout.
Saturday night Garrett and I went to his mom's cabin and were able to just enjoy the lake and relax. It was a great escape from the everyday craziness.

I still need to tackle the rest of the weeds in the yard, but I'm happily surprised at some of the gorgeous flowers coming up yet... I have Lillie's, and Peonies currently, they are beautiful. My vine is still showing beautiful purple flowers and then I have another vine on the wood fence on the side of the yard that has pink and orange flowers growing all over it. Really our yard has become quite beautiful.

Last week I had a bit of a scare, we thought we may have a poisonous/deadly plant growing in our front yard, I'm pretty sure that the leaves are wrong though. That was a bit scary.

I recommend that everyone get out and enjoy the weather because summer will go fast. If anyone is interested in making a trip here to do a Valley Fair weekend, let me know, I think that would be fun!

There must be more to it.

So I feel kinda stuck in a rut. It's the same thing all of the time. I think I need more in my life to keep me going. I need some girlfriends who want to go to the gym with me, or out for drinks, or just to have fun with on a regular basis. No one really lives near me.

It's been raining the past few days and being stuck inside makes me think even more about what I may like to be doing. I just want more excitement and adventure. Changing my hair color just isn't really doing it for me anymore.

I have a goal to get myself in shape, I've been trying different approaches to see if I can find the proper one. I think I would feel better if I looked better, but I don't think any of it will matter if I sit home and do nothing but search for jobs and mess around on the computer everyday. A virtual life just does not stack up to real life.

I want to travel, see the world, have fun with friends, actually enjoy everyday life. Are you happy? Is your life what you want it to be?

Ice Cream

So I definitely feel that anything with chocolate is the correct way to start any cone, blizzard, or bowl off, when it comes to ice cream. My number one choice would probably be Kemps Under the Stars.

Though I am not a huge mint ice cream fan, Mint Cow Tracks can really grow on ya. It's mint ice cream with chocolate swirls, shavings, and cows filled with chocolate. I recommend this ice cream to my sister.

If I were to go with a pint, I love the brownie chocolate ganache ice cream that Dove makes. Of course, you can never go wrong with Ben and Jerry's. I, like Allison, like Fish Food, as well as Half Baked ice cream.

Overall, ice cream is probably one of my all time favorite desserts. I also like Gelato and frozen yogurt. Always remember to eat in moderation.

When I was younger I used to make ice cream floats in those old 32oz Hardeez cups... Katie says it's all float and no liquid; I packed that sucker full of ice cream lol. To think that while I was doing that I still kept a smaller figure... hmmm; maybe I gained weight because I eat less ice cream? Doubtful lol, but a nice thought.

Now that I'm a little bit older I enjoy my ice cream in moderation, too much ruins it for me. Here's to the ice cream lovers out there, have your ice cream and eat it too. ;o)

Interview

I had an interview today with a company that I like. Unfortunately for me he only called me in for the interview because he liked my cover letter and felt it was well written; I guess he did not care for my resume. Slightly discouraging. It was a decent interview none the less. If all else fails I received more interviewing practice. He has fifteen more people to see; I did send out a thank you in the mail this evening if that counts for anything.

Time will tell. Sometimes I really don't know how well I do in interviews. I try pretty hard to be impressive and show interest and such but it is hard to be confident when you are nervous. I get nervous without fail and I still haven't figured out why. I think it's the anticipation of being asked a question I may not have thought of an answer to ahead of time. Hmm.

The rest of the day flew by. I'm tired but I don't want to sleep, yet I really don't have a desire to do anything else. It's a draw folks. Maybe I will just go to bed. Sweet Dreams.
