Random Thoughts and Some Holiday Dish

Happy New Year's Eve! Wow -- what a week. We got a Wii for Christmas with the Indiana Jones game. John and I are more addicted than Katie. At first, we were all cute and supportive of each other. It was like a nice date thing to do. After a couple of chapters when it started to get hard and Katie kept interrupting, then we got all ornery and competitive. This is why, even if I was in good enough shape, I will never do "The Amazing Race" with John. Your marriage should never be tested by a game.

I'm FINALLY getting my house to a point that's decent. I was so hardcore busy before Christmas that I've completely gone the other direction and now, I'm a sloth. I've decided this only gets to last until Saturday and then I'm turning a new leaf. Yeah for New Year's Resolutions that I probably won't keep anyway!

And here's a quick holiday leftover dish. We went and saw "Bedtime Stories". Yes, once again I caved and am appearing to only get to see kids movies. I think John and I are going to see "Benjamin Button" this weekend, so that might remedy it. Anyway, if you're an Adam Sandler fan like we are, you'll like it. It's more likable like "Wedding Singer" Adam Sandler, except honestly... Rob Schneider should thank the heavens every day that Sandler includes him in EVERY movie. What a loser! Anyway, it's a good mix of kid stuff and adult stuff, but not in a cute, charming way like say "Enchanted". There's some potty humor and a couple of jokes that fortunately went over Katie's head. The one part that I could do without was when Skeeter calls a guy a Buttkisser. Katie thought that was hilarious and came home saying it, then messed up and started saying Buttlicker. Nice. So, be forewarned. It's not a great movie, but if you're tired of animation like I am, it's a good choice for adult - older kid entertainment right now.

Have a Happy New Year!

Yeah my kids loved the buttkisser part. My youngest, I swear, has turret's syndrome. If he finds out a word is bad, it takes a whole lot of mean mommy to make him stop saying it. They also really liked the whole "for freeeeeeeeee!" scene which didn't appeal so much to me, but they've been saying it a lot lately. The kids liked the movie, and I did too. It wasn't as great as I think it could have been, but good enough to keep us entertained in the theater for a little while. My fav sandler movie has got to be Click (which if you watch with Clearplay filters is a dang good family film). Good luck with the house. I hope no one dies while playing Indiana Jones :)

We saw "Bedtime Stories" over the weekend (GJ is a huge Adam Sandler fan). GJ loved it - I had the same reaction as you, it was OK, not great.
