Slim in 6!

I got Slim in 6 for Christmas from my Aunt Mary Ellen and Uncle Emery! Us along with other family members are challenging each other to complete this program and lose some weight! Will let ya know how it goes!

Movie Review Lincoln

Summary: Mick Haller is a defense lawyer who works out of his Lincoln. When a wealthy Realtor is accused of raping a prostitute, Haller is asked to defend him. The man claims that the woman is trying to get some money out of him. But when Haller looks at the evidence against him, he learns that this case might be linked to an old case of his.

This was another movie that Teresa and I had both not seen. It was so much fun just doing nothing but sitting around and watching movies. It had great characters and was a great story that kept you guessing what was going to happen next!

Movie Review!

Summary: It is 1942, America has entered World War II, and sickly but determined Steve Rogers is frustrated at being rejected yet again for military service. Everything changes when Dr. Erskine recruits him for the secret Project Rebirth. Proving his extraordinary courage, wits and conscience, Rogers undergoes the experiment and his weak body is suddenly enhanced into the maximum human potential. When Dr. Erskine is then immediately assassinated by an agent of Nazi Germany's secret HYDRA research department (headed by Johann Schmidt, a.k.a. the Red Skull), Rogers is left as a unique man who is initially misused as a propaganda mascot; however, when his comrades need him, Rogers goes on a successful adventure that truly makes him Captain America, and his war against Schmidt begins.

I have seen The Avengers, and all the movies that lead up to that movie except Captain America. It was on-demand on Netflix, so Teresa and I decided to watch it. I though it was of the best Marvel movies. I couldn't believe it took me so long to watch it. There are making a second movie to come out in 2014. Should be good!

Movie Review Odd Green

Summary: After receiving bad news from a fertility doctor, Cindy and Jim Green try to bury their dreams of having a child by writing out all the great traits their child would have and putting them in a box in the garden. During a freak storm in the middle of the night, they awake to find a boy named Timothy, with leaves growing from his ankles, standing in their kitchen calling them mom and dad. Cindy and Jim are thrown into the midst of parenthood and over the coming months, Timothy will teach them more than they could have imagined about being parents and raising a child, no matter how he comes into their lives.

Tonight Teresa and I watched The Odd Life of Timothy Green, starring Jennifer Garner and Joel Ederton. It's a Netflix movie I had been neglecting for a couple weeks. I thought this movie was very cute story. Just a good little feel good movie. It was a little bit of a tearjerker, but it was a happy cry.

Happy New Year!

We had poppers and sparklers to bring in the New Year!

New Years Resolutions:

1) Read a book a week (I've tried this several times, usually ending in failure, this year I'm going to do it!)

2) Buy a book a month for the local book store. (Lately I've been better about getting books from the library, but sometime this library doesn't have what I'm looking for. But it's good to support local businesses!)

Only 2 this year... and they kind of go together. Hopefully I can do it!
