December recap

I have spent the better part of a week and a half feeling (and looking probably) like death -- just the all over "crud" really. Thank goodness for antibiotics. After only 24 hours on the drugs, I am feeling so much better! That and my friend Janet told me to try a mix of hot tea, honey, and bourbon. I highly recommend this!

The next posts will hopefully be up tonight and I'll write and share pictures of our amazing trip to NYC on December 22 - 26 as well as our lovely visit from my cousin Drew and his family during the last few days of December.

Jason and I had a wonderful holiday together complete with LOTS of movies --- Charlie Wilson's War, Rendition, The Savages, Juno, Alien Vs. Predator 2 (I did not see this one)

Juno -- Have you seen this movie? If not, you simply MUST! It crosses all generations and is a great dra-medy. You'll love Jennifer Garner's performance in this movie. I couldn't figure out whether to love or hate her. I can't wait to see this movie again....and again.

Savages - Depressing but very good. It's about children who take care of their aging parents and the reality that this presents. As we walked out of the theatre, I overheard another man saying "Okay now I feel like jumping off the top of this building!" It was very good though and Jason gave it a 9.5 out of 10.

Rendition - Very good but again depressing. (We saw Savages and Rendition both on New Year's Eve. Luckily it was a festive day so we were able to quickly put the sad mood of the movies behind us.)

Charlie Wilson's War -- Two thumbs down (those thumbs being Jason and Steph's). At first we thought it was "ok," but after seeing all of the afore mentioned movies, it doesn't hold a candle. The movie ends, and we were like "that's it??" Save your money!

OK - more blogging with pictures later. The lunch break is over :)

One more thing --- I am still smiling from ear to ear after finding out that my oldest and dearest friend Ashley Elizabeth is expecting TWINS!! I can not wait to meet these little ones that are growing in her tummy. Our dinner dates will soon be relocating to Show Biz or McDonalds.
