As far as chick flicks go, Sweet Home Alabama is not bad. This is the second time I've seen it, though, and I don't think it would stand up to any more viewings. So I guess it's not a classic chick flick.
Oh man Erin, Sweet Home Alabama is one of my favorite shows. I mean how could it not be - Matthew McConahey(s/p) duh? I love the fact that you never really forget your first true love no matter how hard you try sometimes! I am just excited I got to post on your blog about something I actually know about. hahhaaa!
Jessica! Matthew McConaughey isn't in Sweet Home Alabama! Patrick Dempsey is the guy she doesn't choose, and I don't know who the other guy is. Wait, I'll look it up.... It's somebody named Josh Lucas, who is much more attractive than Matthew McConaughey, in my opinion. Sorry, but I don't reall like him that much. I mentioned that once at book club and was practically booed out of the room. Anyway, I hope we can still be friends!
Oh my heck Erin, I feel soo incredibly dumb!! You are soo right. I have had Matthew Mcconaughey in my head becuase I want to see his and Kate Hudson's new show Fools Gold. N E ways, I still totally love Sweet Home Alabama! I think Josh Lucas is good looking and I like Reese Witherspoon too. We can still be friends. Oh did you check Lillian out on my blog?
I'm glad we can still be friends, even though I'm not a big fan of Matthew McNot-a-Hotty (do you remember when Mike Sewell said that at church?). I do like some of his movies, though. I liked Failure to Launch and I thought How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days was hilarious. Kate Hudson was great in that. I really like Reese Witherspoon, too. I think she's a great actress. She was great in Legally Blonde and Walk the Line. Yep, I saw Lillian on your blog! That was fun. I need to show her now.
This is not the sort of book I normally pick up at the library. But I liked the movie so... First of all, it's a lot different from the movie. And longer. It sort of went on and on, repeating a lot of phrases which got sort of annoying. Okay, I know the guy was an amnesiac, and he had to repeat phrases to himself to try to stir his memories or whatever, but if I had to read " Cain is for Charlie, Delta is for Cain. Get Carlos. Kill Carlos.. " again, well....I would have skipped it like I did that last few times it was repeated. The plot was really long and really confusing (I missed a lot). And THEN, after all the plot twists, all the chasing, fighting, running, excitement, the bad guy gets away!! Setting up for more books, I'm sure (which there are. More books, that is). The author was good at describing fight scenes, but my imagination has a hard time picturing it. Movies are much more intense. Now I have to watch the movie again. It was so different and I wo...
Home Schooling Dream vs. Reality Our initial home schooling dream had the kids studying Latin and Greek, speaking German fluently, finished with Calculus and starting college courses by the time they were 14, and running their own successful business selling artisan cheese made from the milk of our goat herd. Also, they would never watch TV or play video games. Then the kids were born. It turns out that, in the interest of maintaining my sanity, I’m more of a Relaxed Home Schooler. This is also why I’m a Relaxed Housekeeper. We didn’t even teach the kids German, which both Jon and I speak fluently, although I maintain that the main reason for this is not laziness but our reluctance to give up our secret language. The kids are on track to do Calculus before they start college at or near 18. We never got the goats, although we have plans to get some when we return to the US, and we did have chickens for a long time. The chickens laid eggs for us, but we didn’t sell them. We just ...
Putumayo is a recording label that specializes in world music. All of their CDs guarantee "to make you feel good." So far I have found this to be true. A couple of weeks ago, while I was showing my mom and two of my sisters some of the cool shops in our area, I bought Putumayo's Brazilian Lounge . We like various kinds of electronic music (or techno or whatever; I am easily confused by labels), especially lounge stuff by groups like Thievery Corporation ), and I admit that I thought if I bought something Jon would like, he might not notice the money I was spending. (I also bought a floral mat made from recycled plastic, which I love very much and used as a sort of porch to our tent when we went camping recently.) Anyway, it was another successful music acquisition: groovy and mellow with cool Brazilian melodies and words. Shortly after I bought it, Jon said we needed to get more because he was in danger of making himself sick of it by listening to it too much. Now that...
