Movie Time

I tried to go to work today but my car was snowed in. After Rick trying to dig it out for 10 minutes, all we managed to do was get it stuck in a different spot. I am sick of this weather!

I have been watching some good movies lately. That is probably because all of the summer movies are coming out and I only saw one in the theaters this summer. So I have a lot to catch up on. I decided to give a review of some of the movies I have seen lately. Some of them newer, some of them new to me. I am just trying to entertain myself. :)

I watched the Dark Knight last week. I thought the first new Batman movie was weird to say the least so I was expecting something similar. I had heard that is was very dark and was being partially to blame for Heath Ledger's death because he had gone a little coo coo after playing this part. I don't know if that is true or not, but after seeing this movie I wouldn't find it hard to believe. His character is crazy and the darkest, most evil villain I have seen in a movie in a long time, if ever. It was a very hard movie to watch sometimes but extremely gripping. I wish they would have given Two Face more screen time since he was one of my favorites from the last set of Batman movies (I don't know anything about the comics), but overall if you like thrillers this would be for you. I did think it was borderline as far as violence goes for a PG-13.

I also just watched Hancock the other day. I am a huge fan of Will Smith's but his last few movies have either looked boring or not my style. So when I saw previews for this one last spring I really wanted to see it in the theaters, but Indiana Jones won out on the one movie that I was willing to spend money on. It was very entertaining and I loved the twists that they put in, although Rick thought he was smart and spoiled the twist before it came. Rude. I kind of feel like if I was a super hero, I would be a lot like Hancock, minus the drinking. They show on the previews the part where he saves the whale by throwing it back into the ocean and it manages to hit the one boat in the harbor. So funny. Even after seeing the movie, I think it is my favorite part.

The one thing I miss about working at Blockbuster is that I am always behind on new releases these days. I used to know when every movie was coming out and I would have seen most of them before they were released (we got to rent them before they came out). So if you have seen any good movies lately let me know because I probably haven't seen them and I need to narrow down to ones that would be worth my time. I just love movies.

Crazy Boiling Over

I have been trying to come up with something to blog about. I really want to stay away from whining about my life, my job and everything else. All I can think about is how annoyed I am with everything. I know I should be thankful for all we have and I am, but it isn't how we would like life to be.

First off, I signed on full time at Walmart. I was originally hired as a seasonal worker but they asked me to sign on full time (actually I was on the schedule after Christmas and so I went and talked to my manager and they had changed me to full time without talking to me. Funny.). I know it is a blessing that I can keep my job but I hate working. I want to be a full time mom. I am frustrated with how little Rick gets done with his freelance while I am sleeping during the day. I am frustrated that no one will even interview him, let alone hire him. I am frustrated that I am missing out being with my girls all the time. I am just glad that I like my job for the most part and don't really mind being there. I work with mostly good people and get along with most of them. It may be a fairly simple job that anyone with half a brain could do but I feel a sense of accomplishment when I go home everyday. I can look at my department and know that I have left it better than when I got there. It is just not what I ever saw myself doing. It is not what I had in the plans.

Second thing that is on my mind is this weather. I know it is very typical winter weather for most parts of the country but for Washington it is very abnormal. The last time it was like this was when I got married. Maybe it is just Mother Natures way of wishing Rick and me a happy 5th anniversary? I like the rain and can't wait for all of this snow and ice to melt. It is really hard to get to work and I even called in tonight just because I didn't want to get stuck at work. If I wanted to deal with this kind of weather I would live in Idaho. ;) So lets move on already.

The third thing I have been thinking about recently is my wedding anniversary coming up. Rick and I will be married 5 years on January 3rd (as stated in the last paragraph) and I want us to do something special together even if it is just to get away from the kids. But with him out of work I am going to feel really guilty if we spend any money. Should we just say whatever and go treat ourselves to dinner, a movie, or whatever we want or just sit at home moping that we don't get to do anything fun to celebrate and regret we never did anything to celebrate this milestone? I am started to lean toward just doing whatever but it keeps rolling around in my mind.

I know I have a lot to be grateful for but I feel like the world is against us these days. I just hope that I can enjoy Christmas and that next year will be better for everyone than this year was. Hopefully with new leadership and with some common sense we can get ourselves out of the mess we are in and learn from it.

Thanks for reading my rantings. The crazy is just starting to boil over. :)

30/30-150

Rick has been telling me I need to blog more often but I am never sure what to write about. My life seems like one big blur of Walmart and sleeping these days. So I decided to do something I saw on Erin's blog. I have done it once before (something similar at least) on MySpace and it cracks me up so here I go.
