The Book Thief

Last night me and my sister Katie went and watched the movie The Book Thief.

 

We both have read the book and loved it.

It has been a while since I read the book, I can't even remember when I did read it.

 

It is a good book and I recommend it.

 

I have been want to go see the movie before it even was out in theaters.

So Katie and I finally went.  It is a long movie, over 2 hours long.

But it is worth it.  It was such a good movie, they did a really good job on it a and got some wonderful characters to play the parts.

 

So the movie and the book are during WWII and a little girl that goes and lives with a family during that time.  She doesn't know how to read but she is intrigued by books.  She learns to read and reads a lot.  Sorry I'm not good at explaining things.  It is a good book and movie, I will warn you though, it they are both sad.  I think the book was sadder then the movie though.

 

So if you get a chance go see the movie, it should be in the cheap theaters now, that's where we went.  Or you can just rent it when it comes out.  I do recommend you read the book, so good.



Day 16 & 17

Day 16: If you could have a super power what would it be?

 

Well I all wish I was like the witch on bewitched, where I can snap my finger and things go down without me doing it.  Like, what's for dinner?, "snap" Chicken Parm.  I need clean pants, "snap" laundry's done.  Children yelling, "snap" instant quiet.  oh it's 9 pm and you guys don't want to go to bed, "snap" snug as a bug in a rug.

That would be the perfect super power.  Other then that I would like to be like Ct. America.  Have a super fast metabolism, strong and can pretty much live through anything.  Actually I just would mind having Ct. America :)  He can clean my house for me.

 

 

Day 17: Host a guest post on my site

 

Well, I'm not going to do this one, cause I don't even know how to do it.  I'm still not good at all this blogging stuff, I just know how to write jibberish.  You guys are lucky to get that.



Day 14 & 15

Day 14: What is your biggest pet peeve

 

Oh man where should I start, I have lots of them and trying to decided what is my biggest that is hard.

So I think my # 1 pet peeve is,

when parents in the drop off lane get out of their car walk around and to let their kids out and stand and talk and talk to them.

If you are going to do all that, just park and walk your kid up.  I am in the drop of lane so I can just throw my kids out the door and enjoy my free time for the next 7 hours.  That is the point of the drop off lane.  Oh and another one, you don't have to drive all the way to the front to let your kid out.  They can get dropped off a few feet away it wont hurt them to walk.

 

Ok done with that rant, hope I didn't hurt any feelings, that is just the way I feel/

 

My #2 pet peeve, just because it needs to be shared

 

SHOES LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR!

If they are there I will trip on them in the middle of the night.

 

 

Day 15: What did you do before you had internet

 

Well, I read books.  I had to read things to learn about things.

Also I would call my friends, instead of send them a message on Facebook.

I did a lot of outside playing.

I also had to read cookbooks instead of look up a recipe online.

Personally I am glad to have internet.

I have to make sure I don't miss any of my TV shows.

January blogging

So I am going to try to blog everyday, but we will see.  I'm not very good about blogging as you guys can tell.  I have a list for January that I will try to work on.  So here is the list website if anyone would like to check it out, http://agrandelife.net/2014/01/01/31-blog-post-ideas-for-january/

 

I am behind, since it is the 13th, so maybe I will try to catch up.  I might skip some because I just don't want to do it.

 

Day 1: Share your goals and resolutions for the upcoming year

 

Ok, I don't usually do resolutions or goals, but I did decided one thing this year, I will lose weight.

I am planning to lose 2lbs a week or at least 5lbs a month.  I have a long way to go.  I am hoping to be at my goal weight by summertime.  I have been doing pretty good, I've been eating better and working out.  I started on the 6th and I have lost 3lbs.  I think I would eat just a little bit better I would lose more weight but it to hard to give up a little bit of sugar.

For Christmas my parents got me a gym membership at a gym by my house and I am going to start going this week.  I will be joining in on their zumba and I would love to do some weight lifting and eventually work up to the cycling class. I wanted to do kickboxing but they got rid of hat program.  Oh well, I wont give up, I am determined to be healthy and feel good about myself.  I have a treadmill at home and have been using that.  I have started to jog on it.  So that is my goal I guess.

 

 

Day 2: Share your recent holiday photos

 

My girls with there new Christmas hats on.

 

 

 

Day 3:What is your favorite gift your received over the holidays?

 

I think I have 2 favorite gifts,

1st a 9 cup food processer that my husband gave me.  I'm going to make lot of good stuff with that.

2nd gym membership my parents gave me, so I can be skinny and hot.

 

 

Day 4: Read a good book lately?

 

Yes I did!

I have had this book for 2 years now and I finally read it.  Everyone told me it was a really good book so I finally sat down and read it.

It was pretty good.  I enjoyed reading it. 

I don't right good reviews on books so you will just have to read it to find out if you like it or not.  I liked it, it is defiantly a young adult novel.  There is a little bit of a love story for those who like love stories, but it also has action too.  It's worth reading.

 

 

Day 5: Round up some fun winter crafts or activities

 

I made this wreath.

 

Day 6: Take a look at recent comments. Write a post answering a commenter's question

 

I would rather not.  I hope that is ok.

 

Day 7: Create a how-to post.

 

How to be awesome,

 



Dress like this kid

 

Day 8: Profile another blogger

 

I don't really want to.

 

Day 9: Take a look at what you wrote this time last year. Can you expand on it?

 

I didn't write anything this time last year.

 

Day 10: How are you getting organized this year? Share some favorite tips!

 

There is probably lots of ways I would like to get organized this year, but I probably wont.  I just keep things simple and try to pick up after myself.

 

Day 11: Make a fashion wish list

 

Well I don't really have the greatest fashion and I will probably not change it to much, just hoping to lose weight so I can wear smaller jeans.

 

Day 12: Share a favorite winter recipe

 

Slow cooker Potato soup

http://www.thetidynest.com/2010/10/comfort-food.html

 

This is a really good fast easy potato soup.  I really like it, so do my kids.

 

 

Day 13: Is winter your favorite season? Why or why not?

 

NO!  Cause it's cold!

Movie Night 1-10

For Movie Night we watched...

 

This is a great movie and  my girls love it.

If you are into video games you would like this movie.  My girls love pointing out all the different characters, there are some from when I was a kid.  Pretty entertaining movie.  If you haven't watched it watch it.

 

After the movie we had a dance party, that was a lot of fun.  We also then played video game like fruit ninja.

We had a really fun night.  Jeremy wasn't there because he had his guard weekend and had to be gone.

Movie Night Jan 2014

So we didn't catch our movie night last night but if we would have we would have watched,

So here is the list for January...
