Movie Monday- Scoop

Before we get started I am going to tell you how I will be rating movies

1 Star – Really? don’t waist your time

2 Stars – Meh!  I am glad I only spent $5

3 Stars – Ok! But a little boring in places

4 Stars – Good! Will watch it again

5 Stars – Awesome! Will watch over and over and over again

Today’s movie is called Scoop

Here is what the back says:

When and inquistive college journalist stumbles upon new clues to a string of murders, her investigation leads directly to a handsome businessman, who draws her in with his mysterious charm. Could a whirlwind romance with the subject of her search also become the most dangerous scoop of a lifetime?

I wanted to start with a movie that I havent seen, just to spice things up. I bought this movie for $3 at liqudation world, so of course I couldn’t pass it up.

I give this movie a 3 star rating, only because it was kind of slow, for me. It was very funny and my fav person in it is Sid Waterman, played by Woody Allen. In the movie he plays a magician named Splendini and he is very funny, throughout the whole movie. Woody Allen actually wrote, directed and starred in this movie, isn’t that amazing!

Scarlett Johansson and Hugh Jackman. Both ever good actors in my books, I will watch anything with Huge Jackman in it these days ;) These are both very amazing actors and they did a very good job in this movie as well.

Scarlett plays a wanna be journalist student that gets handed the case of a life time. Its kindof funny how she gets that information but I wont say for the people that will be watching it. It come by the phrase “a reporter will do anything for the next big story” That explains it pretty good ;)

Huge Jackman plays a very handsom business man that has it all, wealth, looks and title. He is very contages and even I feel for his charm but as the peaces fall into place he looks more and more guilty. The movie was to planned out I think with not enough of the surprise element that I like in movies. Although Huge does try to lur you off the trail with that acent of his.

All in all it was a good movie but I am glad that I only paid $3

Joke of the Day!

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift.

The parrot has a bad attitude and even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird’s mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.

John tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to “clean up” the bird’s vocabulary. Finally, john was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.

The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.

John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.

Then suddenly there was total quite. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he’d hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John’s outstretched arm and said,

“I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I’m sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behaviour.”

John was stunned at the change in the bird’s attitude. And he was about to as the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behaviour, the bird continued,

“May I ask what the turkey did?”

Something New...

I found this wonderful blog tonight and I knew that I had to join her on her creative journey. I am very bad at keeping up with my sketch book, there for my painting have been nil. I have been trying to find my grove, creating my own creative control. But it has been hard, and I never knew where to start, until now!

When I found this blog I was glued to my screen and found myself going from post to post until I reached the end of the page. I grabbed my sketch book and I decided to try something new. I haven’t used watercolours in awhile so I totally forgot that I needed water colour paper, so my painting is all wavy. I am just going to call it an artistic mistake.

I intend on following her blog and learning as much as I can from her. Her tips are amazing! I will need to invest in a watercolour sketch book, and then I’ll be on my way!

Here are some photos!

Not completely done yet! Stay tuned for more pictures and how the rest of the lesson went.

100 post Blog-iversary

Today will be my 100th blog post. I am so excited to have finally made it to a mile stone in blogging. Yey me!

I thought about what I would post for this post but nothing seemed right. So I decided on this a special day for my blog I would treat it (and you of course) to something nice. I have decided to make Mondays: Movie Monday.

I love movies, I love watching them crying to them, laughing with them, well you get the picture. I am the proud owner of over 355 movies. (I have a list!) You could say I am a collector (that would be the nice word for it) but to tell you the truth I am addicted to movies!  I love all kinds of movies; of course I love romance, drama and true stories. However I also like horror movies, comedy, fiction and fantasy.

I can be very critical of movies, and this is where this post will come in. I watch movies almost every night, I am the one that if I have seen it and you haven’t, you better tape my mouth shut. I love watching good movies over and over and some I could watch every day without ever stopping.

When I was younger, I remember watching Dirty Dancing with my sister for a week straight. My mom rented it and had to take it back just for us to take it out again. We watched it over and over and the only time we had a break when it was rewinding so we could watch it again. Yes I know that makes me sound old, VHS was so awesome. I remember my first movie I ever got, Beauty and the Beast; I think my mother still has it. And my all time favourite movie is Mary Poppins, which I own the collectors addition of.

Anyway, where I am going with this is, I am 100% movie nerd and I am not afraid to admit it. And I am going to start sharing another one of my passions with you, right here on my blog. So I hope you will enjoy it, and maybe you can watch some great movies along with me!

Hope everyone is having a good night! And thank you for sharing this special day with me J

New!

New – adjective

different, inexperienced, strange, unfamiliar, unique, unknown

Many new things have happened to me the last few days. It has been a week of learning and experiencing and just plain growing.

Find this necklace here



New toy! The Gypsy for my cricut machine and I am trying to learn how to use it. I have been trying to figure it out for a day or so now and getting the updates and stuff but I just haven’t had time to play with it yet.

New days! I have started going back to the gym and man does it feel good. Zumba today and loving it more than ever! I had stopped for while; I was so focused on getting my license that’s all I was doing in my spare time and the gym kind of feel behind. But I am going back to 3 times a week again, and it feels nice. Well my legs would not agree with this statement however but I know my brain does ;)

New meaning! To date night, the other night was date night with me and my loving boyfriend. And everything was going according to plan. I mad supper and cleaned the house. We finished eating supper, Cashew Chicken, and were watching a movie. Half was though the movie the power goes out! So now its 8:30 and there is no power. We could hear the sirens from our apartment and decided to go and check it out. So we hopped in the car, and just a few blocks down there were fire fighters and SASK Power. So we decided to keep driving around, even though it was pouring out. I got some cool pictures.

New makeup and hair products! (was in serious need of restocking) I was in need of new colours to mix it up a bit. I got this one colour it reminds me of a mermaids tail, kind of shinny greeny blue, sooo nice! I also got some new mascara because I needed it bad.

New scratches on my car L Skylar was out last night and got into an accident (He is ok) 3 thousand dollars in damage. But we have to wait and see what the adjuster has to say and go from there. I’ll keep you posted.

New painting! For my craft room. I bought it at a store that I had never been into before and I was walking by and I saw that they were having a closing out sale. Well as soon as I spotted the 70% off sign I was already though the door. As soon as I laid eyes on this painting I knew I HAD to have it. Guess what I paid for it…you will never guess. $5.00 Needless to say I was happy to take it off there hands.

New Teachings! I have been working with another wonderful Friend of mine, Sasha over at Lemonade Makin Mama! She has been teaching me all the things I need for my journey. She has been sort of bible Study though email. And it is wonderful, she spells it out just perfectly so I understand every word.

New music! for my IPod. Francesca Battistelli and Meredith Andrews.

New Bible! From my wonderful friend Becky over at Farm Girl Paints! She sent me a wonderful care package full of fun stuff. The Daily Reading Bible, which includes date on which things to read on which days, great for a first time bible reader like myself. God’s Wisdom for your Life: 1,000 key Scriptures. As well as a lovely card.

Thats what is new in my life how about you?

Tie Dye Cupcakes & Date Night

Here is a song to listen to while you read, if you want!

Today is just going to be mostly pictures! I hope you like them

Today I decided to make a new kind of Cupcake. TIE DYE

Step one: get everything you need

Step two: mix it

Step Three: pour in to different bowls and add food colouring to each different bowl, and mix

 Step Four: pour a little of each colour in the bottom of the cups

 Step five: layer each colour over the other colours

Step six: take a tooth pick and swirl it around to mix the colours together. Don't mix to much or colours will blend together

Step Seven: cover with white icing to leave the colours a secret then...

 Surprise!!

Tonight is also Date night with my honey! We haven't really spent any time with each other this past week. So i made dinner and cleaned the house and were going to have a nice supper and watch a movie! Sounds good to me♥

I also got this new shirt for work, its so nice. I don't really have anything white so i am kind of scared of staining it. Well see how it goes i guess!

Hope everyone had a good day, and have a wonderful night!

Forever Love♥

When I wrote my post yesterday I had a clear vision of what song I was going to show you today, but I changed my mind. I have decided to share this song with you, it’s more simple but I like it. The change of heart came this morning when I woke up with it stuck in my head. I had not listened to it before bed or anything. I must have been sent it in a dream, and I woke up needing to hear it. I sat down at my computer and I just had to hear it. I think that He sent it to me to tell me that my praying is paying off and that I am now His forever love. Hope you enjoy it.

I also stumbled across this video today and I knew I had to share it. I was confused at first what people were writing about until I saw the sign at the end, precious.

In God’s heart I am… loved, beautiful, strong and FREE.

What are You?
In God’s heart what are you…?
