Merry Christmas!!!

December 25, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: holidays | Leave a Comment

Hoo! It’s been a whirlwind of a couple weeks here!

I hope anyone reading my little blog has had a wonderful Christmas, or whatever you celebrate this time of the year. We had a really nice Christmas and were fortunate to get most things that we had asked for! Both of our families are very generous during the holidays.

We spent Christmas Eve afternoon at the hubbster’s parents house and had a lovely meal with his parents and Grandmother. We opened presents and visited a little bit. We even got to talk to the hubbs’ sister, who lives in Australia and our niece and nephew. Santa had already visited them, so they were telling us what they got for Christmas.

After visiting with them for a while, we went to my parents house for our traditional hors d’oeuvres dinner. We ate dinner and then opened gifts. It was also very nice. After gifts, we watched Sesame Street Christmas…which brought back a lot of old memories. My dad ALWAYS cracks up when Oscar the Grouch falls down the stairs and through the walls and everything. Last night was no different. he was cracking up!

After that, the hubby went home to feed the animals and I stayed and watched Holiday Inn with my mom and sister. When I got home, the hubbs and I opened the rest of our gifts from his parents – they sent us home with some.

Today, I woke up with a killer headache so I didn’t go to the festivities at the hubbs’ aunt’s house. I missed all the fun and good food! But I felt horrible and didn’t want to get anyone sick. I feel better now though.

Tomorrow we’re heading out for the annual shopping excursion after Christmas to spend the money we got for Christmas and the gift cards. Will probably be crazy out there!!

Feeling of Violation and Christmas Cards

December 6, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: holidays, life | Leave a Comment

And the titles keep getting worse! haha

On Thursday morning I got a call at work on my cell from the hubbs. He’s all in a frenzy and I had to hurry him off the phone. I called him back and he proceeds to tell me that his car has been broken into – radio stolen. Nice.

The damn truck was not 10 ft from our front door and IN OUR DRIVEWAY!

Whoever did this, broke his lock to get in, tore the F out of his steering column…to the point where the car would not start….and then unscrewed the dash and carefully took the radio out. How asinine is that? Jackasses. I bet they were mad that they couldn’t get the car to start so they took the radio.

And where were our fierce attack dogs when this happened. Hmm, sound asleep! haha…they must sleep like the DEAD! Well, I know Topaz does, he gets meds right before bed. But Onyx would have woke up (or I need to believe that anyways) had she heard them out there hacking away at the steering column. I actually am pretty sure one or more of the cats heard them and were probably watching from the window. Yes, I’ve had a talk with them!

So the truck needs to be fixed…again. Thank God for the inlaws.

And now the hubbs is all paranoid and worried..another thing to stress him out. Lovely.

Here’s our Christmas card for this year! Ok, so it’s just a photo, but it’s cute and it took me a long time. I usually print out cards for both sets of parents, our grandmothers and a few other relatives and friends, so I’ll probably still do that. I have to get some black ink and get that going. 
I got the photos printed at Costco and I’m picking them up tomorrow so some of our cards will be ready to go out very soon! We didn’t send any last year, but I really wanted to do something this year.

Twilight…the movie. My Thoughts!

November 30, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: twilight | Leave a Comment

Ok…so yesterday was FINALLY the day I went to see Twilight the movie! First let me say, it was AWESOME! I loved it!! And So did the hubbs and my nephew! Hubbs even wants to read the books! LOL…too bad we don’t have them. We may have to get them for him though.

The movies was everything I thought it was going to be and now I cannot wait for the DVD to come out! Hopefully it will come out soon. I can’t imagine them taking their time with this one. And I will definitely be sending the hubbster out at midnight to pick this dvd up for me and I truly HOPE they offer a digital copy, or else I’ll be getting one on iTunes!

So my thoughts…well, I knew going in that to cram the entire Twilight book into a 2 hr movie wasn’t happening. Kind of like the Harry Potter books…they left out some things from the book to the movie and added in a little bit to make it all flow better or to explain things that were kind of left unexplained or foggy. So the same thing happened with Twilight. Sometimes I think that reading (or listening to in my case) the books too many times before seeing a movie can make you focus on the differences or what was missing rather than the actual movie itself.

Like my husband, he’s never read the books…and he loved the movie. Of course, he didn’t know that they added in this part or left out that part, or these two parts were out of order. Which may be a good thing…

So, aside from how the movie and the book were different from each other, I thought it was done really well and really enjoyed it!

I don’t understand why for most of the movie Edward looked so mad! And Jasper…omg he was kind of ridiculous, like a deer in headlights. LOL I’m sure there was a reason…maybe he was like that in the books and I missed it lol, I’m not sure. But it was kind of funny. And Rosalie…um, BITCH! lol But she really kind of was like that.

I give Twilight a definite two thumbs up…loved the book, loved the movie and cannot wait till New Moon!
