More Movie Reviews
Saw a TON of movies while home with mom.
Reign Over Me: interesting, thought provoking, dont' need to see it again though but great acting by Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle. Good rental though.
Lucky You: Interesting, deep, exciting if you like poker and vegas - Drew Barrymore was great and so was Eric Bana - a good rental.
No Reservations: LOVED IT! Major Chick Flick. Oh I can't stop thinking about how wonderfully loving, fun, and romantic this movie was - made me majorly crave spaghetti though so we had to go out for pasta after we watched it. CUTE MOVIE!!
Enchanted: Oh my mom was right, it's so a Stephany Movie - girly, fun, princessy, all me wrapped up in a ball of fun. And who doesn't like to watch McDreamy?!?!

So Funny I Thought I'd Pee my Pants!
I took mom to see the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee musical while I was home.
Seriously, could have peed my pants. If you can catch it at a local theater or even in NYC or something - do - it's so funny!
I'm a huge fan of the National Spelling Bee and this certainly picks up on some of the quirks of the spellers and such.
Hysterically funny!!!

Well that wasn't how it was supposed to end!!
I just got back from Chicago from visiting mom and we took in My Sister's Keeper while I was in.
I went in with low expectations - since movies based on books I've read and loved often disappoint me. The only movie I've enjoyed as much or more than a book was The Notebook.
The start of the movie kept the same tone as the book, so I was thinking, well this could work.
Then then ending came and in the middle of the theater I leaned over to my mom and said "Um that's not how the book ends at ALL!!!" other ladies were commenting at the same time. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
If you read My Sister's Keeper and loved it - skip the movie -you'll be so angry you saw it based on how incredible that book is!

Sunny Kitties!
It's the best time of year where we can keep the storm door open and the cats and sit and sun themselves.
They fight over the rays of sunshine pouring in the door and eventually they both get over-heated and fight over the shady spots as well.
The sun makes Sneezy very tired and does the opposite for Bashful - it makes him Crazy!!! Like fierce you don't know what came over him crazy!

A Little Old but...
I just came across these pictures from Easter.
We had a quiet Easter at home just the two of us - Adam got me this beautiful lilly for our 1,000th day of marriage - and we colored eggs and had a ball!
We had so much fun coloring our dozen eggs that we broke out the raw eggs and colored those as well - not recommended for children!
We found these new Pas Q-tip dye sticks that you break and the dye goes to the cotton tip. They are concentrated dye, so they stain really well. But you can do some pretty cool patterns with them. 99 cents at Walgreens, look for them next year.

Staycation
Adam and I had planned to take thispast week off of work and go away. We were between NYC, a cruise, a low cost trip to Vegas or Disney.
However, we decided to save the $ at the last minute and just take the time off and be home.
We had a workcation/staycation.
It was the most beautiful week to take off as well - such perfect weather.
We spent Saturday and Sunday doing gardening. The veggies are in, the annuals are in, and we planted a new tree in our yard as well - a crabapple that has just the most beautiful flowers. Adam even helped me out by digging a whole new flower bed near our mailbox - the area that never grows grass.
We got everything in the ground and mulched as well.
We spent monday closing out our storage unit that we had for almost 3 years - it was full of stuff that was in the basement that we had to store when we completed the basement a while back. We took stuff to salvation army, tossed a lot of stuff, and well, the rest is sitting in the basement waiting to find a home and go through it.
Tuesday we had planned on heading up to boston, but decided we'd scratch that trip since we'll be up there for the 4th. Instead we spent the day relaxing a bit, and then headed up to Federal Hill for lunch and shopping and then a stroll through the zoo - unfortuantely we only had an hour before the zoo closed for the day.
Wednesday we went down to Wakefield, which we've never been to before and saw some cute shops. We also went to see Kenyon's Grist Mill down in South County and saw how they grind the corn. No tours or anything but it was still a pretty place to see. We also went to Crazy Burger in Narragansett for lunch that day since I've always wanted to try it. We ended the day with Pub Quiz with our good friends and got our asses handed to us - stupid cheaters using I phones!
Thursday we relaxed headed to the wineries in CT and checked out Jonathan Edwards and Stonington Vineyards- we had some great wine tastings and bought a few nice bottles as well. We ended the day at Foxwoods - and we did great not gambling! We walked around and enjoyed the shops and dinner.
Friday we relaxed around the house all day and it was a wonderful treat to just be lazy at home.
Today we got to meet some new neighbors and do laundry and grocery shopping - oh so exciting I know. And tomorrow we'll relax before going back to work.
It was a nice staycation. A good way to save money, eat out at some new places in our area, and just relax and take a much needed break from work for both of us.
I highly recommend staycation - it's a great way to explore your own area! I feel more versed in things RI now because of our time we spent exploring our own little state.

Sneezy has a new trick!
Not one we're encouraging by ANY means... but it just happened and well it was too funny not to take a few pictures of.
Greg and Sandy this one is particularly for you!!
And yes, don't worry, the shelf was cleaned when she got out!
While unloading the dishwasher the other week, we had the door open to where we put the dishes and the shelf was empty, so we turn around and find this!
