It's Finally Here!

I am very excited about tonight!

I hope everyone is having a great week and I will be back soon with pictures of the apartment. Life is still happening and I never have wifi access when I need it, I will try and do my post on Live Writer so I can post when I have access!
Tomorrow is my 42nd Birthday and I am going to see Harry Potter!
I will see it again this weekend with my aunt and grandmother, as my family is in LOVE with the series!
If I am not back soon 
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hugs, Lisa

Leap Year

I rented Leap Year with Amy Adams and Matthew Goode last weekend.

Leap-Year-movie-poster1

What a great treat.

As I searched I found it was rated worst film of the year, ladies I have seen MUCH MUCH worse!!!

I have to admit I love Amy Adams and she is so perfect for a romantic lead♥

Leap-year-Movie

She, Anna,  is on her way to Dublin to meet her boyfriend to Propose on Feb. 29th and  Declan, Matthew Goode, is trying to get her  there. The usual fighting, and mishaps ensue

Leap-Year-Movie-Trailer

With a few sweet bits where they relate

And well they both get their lives in order. It works nicely with some really fun Irish characters to help them along.

I thought it was very cute and enjoyed watching it. I am considering buying a copy♥

I hope if you get tired of reruns and need some girl time you will consider this one.

It is a thumbs up in my book☻

Happy Friday♥

The Ways “You’ve Got Mail” changed my Life!

I know you know I love You’ve Got Mail.

132

I just in the past few months have had a rediscovery of the movie and have been really surprised at how much of it has made me do or change things.

Nothing life altering, really superficial, but you know how when you get in your head you need to do something or get something and then later realize why you had the idea. Well that is what this is like!

1

1. Introduced my to Pride and Prejudice. I was an old fan of Sense and Sensibility but my interest was peaked and even though it was years later I read and watched the BBC version and well I’m HOOKED!

pride and prejudice

2. Starbucks. I was not a coffee fan until I went to Starbucks!!

Starbucks-logo

3. Started a Love/Hate relationship with big chain bookstores. Avoided FOR years Barnes and Noble, BUT I gave in and I am now a card carrying member of B&N!!

bn04

4. Teaching me to use reusable shopping bags! The Shop around the corner had their own great bags!!

5. Made me want to get a Laptop not a desk top computer. I didn’t have one for about 2 years after I saw this movie. But I have only ever had a Laptop!

6. To want to live in a small but perfect space!

Kathleen’s place

Need I say more?

7. To write to people I don’t know online.

Blogging!!!

How great is blogging??? ♥♥♥

8. To be the Nicest person I can be!

Kathleen is the BEST!

By the way do you remember the Puppy Song from the opening credits? How could I not like this movie!

Now you know a little more about me and about how I am a different person from one really great little movie!

I have been….

Ok I’ll be honest I haven’t been doing anything!

288013_f260

Well I sleep too! hehehe

Actually the bunnies are keeping me busy

They are multiplying! My mom has “bought” a few for me as I am not to “shop” during Lent. Hmmm I might do this every year! hehe

100_0862

There are chicks too. Lots of them!

Well I am getting ready for this

51O9M7WT6vL._SL500_AA300_

I have to rest up. They made the release on a Friday night/Saturday morning NOT on a Tuesday. For most this may be ok but for me I work Saturday and I’m off on Tuesday so it really is not good for me. Saturday is til noon and I get to nap before I go back in to take care of the boarding animals.

So I am resting, thinking up my Pink Saturday Post and I’ll work on the Woo-Hoo Wednesday Post.

Sci-Fi Sunday

star_trek_xi_ver16_xlg

I rented Star Trek and just got to watching it this morning. It was AWESOME. Heard it was too loud at the theater so I’m ok with DVD.  I watched the original Star Trek afternoons in reruns when I was in Middle school. You know the dark ages. I say that one because it was over 20 years ago and two because beta was the only way to watch movies at home and the same time Cable TV was starting.  Star Wars was the most awesome thing you could see in the theaters and  personal computers and cell phones were non existent.

gi_joe

So as I watch these new movies.( GI Joe was amazing too!! They both have a great story as they introduce you to the casts. It will be great if they can continue. ) I have to remember how really great it was to see these first Si-Fi greats. They were so far ahead of how we lived it was Fantasy! And we really loved it. All the computers and communicators were just awesome!

I feel really bad that the kids today don’t have that distance from the movies. I got up from watching Star Trek and picked up my LG Xenon touch screen/qwerty keyboard phone to text message my little sister about Tyler Perry being in Star Trek and think how really weird it is to use this phone that when I was 13 wasn’t even the dream of the Si-Fi writers. And I am typing this on a lap top  that is connected to the world. 

transformers_movie_poster_optimus_prime

I still really enjoy all these movies. Transformers is my favorite. I think because it is so fantastic we can never have live robots that it is the last true fantasy.

Now you know I am truly a very diverse girl. I think I will spend the rest of the day watching Pride and Prejudice!
