Let's All Go to the Movies!

I have been inspired to begin a blog thanks to Dr. Grissom (technology master's teacher) and three of my lovely cousins - Tara, Carrie, & Shelly. I find myself daily checking their interesting blogs so I will attempt to make mine worth reading.

Now, I'm not really in to movies. Doug makes fun of me on a daily basis because I don't have the knowledge on movies that he does. No, I have never seen Men in Black, Varsity Blues, or Dazed & Confused; but I am a TV junkie with at least one favorite show DVRed every night. I also have not been to the movies in a really long time because I think it is ridiculous to pay $8 a person for admission plus an additional $4.5o for a small drink. This weekend I have been a changed woman. And by changed woman I mean I saw TWO movies in TWO days! Both very good movies.... both very different.

On Friday night I went to see Bride Wars with the girls. Lauren, Shelly, Beth, Megan, & I met at Cheddars for dinner at 6:15 (Luckily Beth was there early to put our name in). The movie wasn't scheduled to started until 7:45 so I thought we would have PLENTY of time to eat, catch up, and then head over to the theater. After waiting an hour for a table, we rushed through dinner and made it to the movie just in time to sit in the front row of a packed place. I can't remember the last time I had to sit in the very front row (okay it was second but the first row was used to put our feet up). The movie itself was a very good chick flick. I think it is safe to say that I am definitely the Anne Hathaway of brides. A school teacher who has random job assignments (like the pep squad!). I really recommend seeing it with a good girl friend.

Saturday night was a different story. Mom, Dad, Allie, Alex, Doug, & I went to Guadalajara for dinner (my favorite!) and saw Marley and Me at the Strand Theater. I thought Alex & I were going to get kicked out of the theater for laughing at Allie who was, of course, hysterically bawling during the movie. I think all of us teared up at the end when we thought about little Izzy & Sport who were both at home. Doug & I were so happy to get back to my house and play with Miss Izzy. Even though she is a demon dog, she's our dog and we love her!
