Manic Monday/movie critic

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Columbia, SC got a fairly rare snow storm on Friday evening...we actually got around 6 inches, which is a lot for these parts! Sadly, because we were headed to Jacksonville, we didn't get to enjoy any of it. We weren't too mad though because we are leaving Thursday to go skiing in Sugar Mountain, NC. Taking a little last minute vacay with the fam because there has been quite a good bit of snow at Sugar this year. We had a very calm weekend, celebrating our niece's 4th birthday with family.

Last night, we watched Couples Retreat. I was pretty excited about it...and then bam, I kinda think it sucked. I LOVE LOVE Vince Vaughn usually, but this is definitely not one of his best. I just didn't really think it was all that funny. Oh well.



I did however recently watch My Sister's Keeper and thought it was fabulous. I definitely loved the book more (I always do) but the movie was perfect for what I was looking for. It was the perfect movie for a lazy Saturday afternoon spent on the couch when you don't mind shedding a few/billion tears. I thought Abigail Breslin was wonderful, it was a little weird watching Cameron Diaz in this role...but all in all I was very pleased.



Next up on the list: Valentine's Day, The Hurt Locker, and Dear John. I know Dear John hasn't gotten that great of reviews, and I realize it will never come close to the Notebook, but because I read the book I simply must see the movie too. Atleast Channing Tatum will provide me with a little eye candy to get me thru!

Any other great new movies I need to see??

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
