Friday Fill-In & Movies

fridayfillin-header3a.gif

1. When I’m sick I’m curled up in my favorite jammies, drinking hot tea, watching movies or reading. In other words, I baby myself. innocent

2. When I take a walk, I think about the beauty around me and I snap photos. )

3. Money can’t buy happiness but it can sure make life easier.

4. Cotton makes me feel comfy and leather makes me feel sexy.

5. The strangest person/character I’ve had lewd thoughts about was Jamie Fraser a Scottish Highlander of the Outlander Book Series that I have read and reread. embarrassed (I guess that’s considered strange since he’s fictional, right?)

6. My favorite color these days is deep purple because it makes me feel warm and comfortable .

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to feeling better, tomorrow my plans include finally finishing the office (yes, it’s been put off way too long) and Sunday, I want to decide whether or not I want to brave the heat and crowds and take advantage of the backstage passes my sister got us for the RDR Concert!

Movie Reviews:

I haven’t felt so great this week so I caught up on some of the movies I have put on my “to watch” list. A few are worth mentioning…

Penelope: starring Christini Ricci, Catherine O’Hara, James McAvoy, and Reese Witherspoon - A modern romantic fairytale that has quite love-able characters. Christini Ricci as Penelope is charming and James McAvoy as Max won my heart. To be honest, I really didn’t think I would like this movie, it looked silly to me. But I loved it and highly recommend it if you want a magical movie. So I learned a lesson, don’t judge a movie by it’s preview. )

The Water Horse- starring Alex Etel, Emily Watson, and Ben Chaplin - Very cute movie about a lonely boy who discovers a mysterious egg that hatches a sea creature of Scottish legend, a Water Horse. The story is very good, the water horse is very cute and like-able, plus some laugh out loud moments during the movie. I really enjoyed the gorgeous scenery throughout the movie, and the soundtrack is very enjoyable too.

If you get a chance to watch either of these movies, let me know what you thought! )

Fun fill-in! Thanks for the movie reviews–I haven’t seen either of those. I’m adding them to my Netflix queue now!

Hope you feel better soon!

Sorry you’re not feeling well. I’m not either, I think mine is sinus. I’ve got a bad sinus headache that won’t go away (almost like a migraine but not quite as bad). Hope you feel better soon ) You sound like me when I get sick. I snuggle up and like to be babied (of course, that doesn’t work, my husband is no nursemaid!).

We saw Water Horse on DVD and thought it was cute, a good clean family movie. I hadn’t thought I’d like Penelope either, reading the synopsis at Netflix, but after reading your review, I might add it to my queue. I got Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day in Wednesday and tried watching the first half hour but got interrupted by the doorbell (a neighbor). I was having a lot of trouble getting into it though, so now I’m not sure if I’m going to try to finish it or not.

Have a great Friday and weekend!

Enjoyed your fill-ins. Use those backstage passes! I haven’t seen Penelope, but I’ve seen the Water Horse. I watched it with my kids, and we all thought it was pretty good. It really surprised me because I didn’t think I was going to like it.

Tsk tsk lusting after a fictional character lol. BTW James McAvoy is quickly turning into one of my favourite actors.

Hope your week is going well, I never seem to keep up with blogging or visiting these days. I am trying ! )
