Marilyn

Anyone that knows me knows that I love anything and everything Marilyn.  So when I heard they had made a movie about her I just HAD to see it.  Unfortunately due to a illness and not enough money I wasn’t able to see it at the theater.  I used the word unfortunately when it should have been fortunately. I’m so glad I didn’t pay movie theater prices to see it and waited to see it when it came out on Netflix.
Now don’t get me wrong it wasn’t an awful movie and I knew in advance it wasn’t going to be showing her in the best of lights. I think in a nutshell it was the actress who portrayed her that ruined it for me.  Michelle Williams played the part of Marilyn and in my opinion did a crappy job at it. She didn’t look enough like her, she didn’t have her breathy voice down. I could go on and on why I thought she wasn’t a good choice for the part.

With all that being said, if you have nothing else to do on a rainy day or late at night, it IS worth a watch. Just don’t expect to much from it.  I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.

Lone Wolf

I recently finished reading Jodi Picoult’s newest book “Lone Wolf”. In all honesty I picked it up without reading what it was about, merely because I’m a fan of her work.

As I got into the book I realized that it wasn’t anywhere near what I thought it was about. None the less Jodi didn’t disappoint me. This book took a hold of you and took you deep into  several peoples lives. Gave you a deeper understanding of the wolf and their pack.

Shows one man’s journey of walking between man and wolf. There are some hard lessons to be learned here and it leaves you thinking with what would you have done?

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.  While it enticed me and I read it quickly I just didn’t feel like it was a 5 star book.
For those of you that are local this book is available at the Olin Library and I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed.

To The Moon And Back

The Girls and I always say I love you to the moon and back. So tonight I told Sarah I love you to the moon and back. She tells me the same thing. So I tell her I love her infinity. She again tells me the same thing. I said I love you always. She again repeats it. Finally I say I love everything about you. She goes ok mom seriously just stop it. Stop saying stuff.

I’m not feeling the love tonight.

 

Emma and I sat and talked about the things I did as a teenager for about two hours. She wanted to hear more and more. I told her, “do you see why I say you cant’ get away with anything? I’ve been there done that” LOL

Then we started listening to some old school music. Some old Motley Crue, Joan Jett, Twisted Sister. Ahhhh them were the days.  So here I’m jamming and Emma said “Mom I want to show you a song.” She picks a friggin country song after all that good rock. Dierks Bentley’s “Home” LOL

I uploaded a video of Sarah dancing on Facebook tonight. LOL She has no rhythm poor girl. She definitely dances like a white girl. She’s only 4 so hopefully there will be a bit of hope for her in the future. Dance classes maybe?

Sarah just came up to me and said “MOM, Guess just stepped on my foot” I told her Guess was a dog and didn’t mean to. She said all upset but Guess didn’t say sorry. So I had to explain to her that Guess is a dog and doesn’t know how to say sorry and that she honestly didn’t mean to step on her foot.  She wasn’t to happy about it but she seemed to accept it.

So now that I’ve rambled a bit about everything I’ll leave you with this.

Never EVER take Ex-lax and a sleeping pill at the same time. 

Who Loves Me?

About once a day I’ll raise my arms in the air and shout out “Who loves me?” Usually our dog Guess, and two of my kids, Sophie and Sarah will come running over for a hug.

A few days ago I did my normal shout out of “who loves me?” Both Sophie and Sarah were to busy watching tv to pay any attention to me. However, Guess (my dog) and Zoey (my cat) both came running over to me.  I got a nice giggle from it.
I ran across the above graphic on facebook and it made me think of that straight away. I knew I just had to share it with all of you.

I of course pretended to pout and said to both Sophie and Sarah, I see how you are. You don’t love me anymore. They ran over to me and gave me a big ole hug right away. LOL

I love my kids!!!!
