How to use time wisely…
15 days left…
Heather kindly reminded me that I am not a military wife, and also that I need to wear deodorant. As for the first suggestion…thank you for sobering reminder. I don’t think I have the stamina of the brave men and women with spouses that go through those extended periods of leave. I think that takes a special kind of person. I’ve openly admitted I’m a wimp. Therefore I am not one of them.
As for the deodorant…believe me, I’m trying. The last thing I need right now is to get sick of myself. I’m all I’ve got! In fact, I need to start treating me better! I’ve discovered what a great date I am for myself. Tuesday night I dropped by the local video store and rented myself 5 movies! I didn’t even complain that they were all chick flicks. When I wanted to stay up a little later than usual and watch all the extras on the DVD, and then play the movie back with commentary, I even stayed awake to keep myself company!
I’ve decided this is the perfect time to rent those movies that Mr.Good would appreciate me watching WITHOUT him. You women know what I’m saying. So here’s what I’m watching..
Step Up…yes I know this came out ages ago, but I could NOT bring myself to waste a date night on this one…I watched it through once, ready to hate it, ready to spot the stunt doubles dancing for the actors. The acting wasn’t award winning, but it was pleasant to watch, and when I watched all the extras on the DVD and how they choreographed it and that the dancers were really dancing, I was much more impressed. To be honest. I think I’m going to buy this movie. There are certain parts that I could watch a hundred times. I’m kind of a sucker for dancing movies. Loved it. I think I’ll watch it again before returning it.
The Perfect Man…this is a Hillary Duff movie. You can guess that this is sorely admitted by me. I’m a sucker for Hillary Duff! She’s a cute and seemingly sweet enough young lady, and I did not regret renting this movie. It was simple, predictable, and everyone is happy in the end. Sometimes that’s just what I need. I wouldn’t buy this one though. It’s only good for a one time viewing.
I’m seriously thinking of viewing a movie a night until Mr.Good flies back to rescue me…anymore suggestions? I have three more that I’m going to watch before I return to the video store.
Good Enough
i’m glad you’re getting your chick flick on. because i love you so much, i would gladdly sit through those movies with you. because you love me so much, you’re watching them when we’re not together.
missing you tons,
your loving husband
AWWWW! you can see why I miss him!
Eve, Although I enjoy reading about your life and the lives of your family I am stunned at the errors that occur repeatedly in your writting. My mother was an english teacher, so was your grandmother, and a very good one if I do say so myself, what she instilled in her posterity is the gift to see flaws. I,m talking about spelling. Push the spell check before you exit. Other than that I think that you are absolutely flawless. Vannie
P.S. Mr. Good could also use the spell check. Ya gotta love mothers.
I am assuming you have seen Strictly Ballroom then? What did you think of Dirty Dancing?
I will have to check both of these movies out and add them to the list I just posted on my own blog
!!
This is breaking my heart. I’m sending you e-mail.
(Oh and Vannie, “I’m” an English teacher too!
Drat those typos! Spell check just can’t do it all.)
I really like movies like Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Pride and Prejudice. Last night we watched Nicholas Nicklby and it was really good. We watched Miss Potter recently too and I loved it! It reminded me a lot of Finding Neverland (another movie I loved). I haven’t seen anything really new that I really liked. Except Miss Potter.
What types of movies do you like?
Okay, I seriously need someone to start a list of seriously chick flicks. SO … if YOU happen to be that person I won’t mind at all … I might not even get on to you if you skip the deodorant and don’t shave your legs.
I mean, I won’t SIT by you, but from where I sit, I won’t mind … truly.
Ok…First of all I love your blogs…secondly…who is this Vannie person! And why do they insist on being so obnoxiously snooty! Who cares about a couple of spelling errors! What do you think this is…a freaking college English class! NO!!!! It is a blog…a blog of thoughts on life!! Lighten up, and take the time to enjoy yourself. Oh yea, and let me know if you need help removing that stick.
I will not apologize for grammatical or spelling errors mom! So stop embarassing me! Or maybe I should send them to you to proof?
PS to everyone else that reads besides my mother…sorry about the grammatical and spelling errors. I don’t usually proof read my stuff because then blogging just wouldn’t be as much FUN but more WORK!
and you’ll notice she made an error in her comment.
Love your site! Okay, my recent chick flick viewings were: Music and Lyrics (if you love some Hugh Grant), The Devil Wears Prada (read the book) and again, The Notebook (I can never get enough of that movie!)!
Dude. Smooth move sunshine. Notice the small clues that the culprit was your own dear mother: “Vannie” “My mother was an english teacher, so was your grandmother”
SO WAS YOUR GRANDMOTHER!
Hello!
Anyhoo…this was definitely entertaining.
