movies: Christmas edition

Ryder & I LOVE Christmas movies. There were so many we watched this year.. There is of course 'The Grinch', 'National Lampoon: Christmas Vacation', 'Santa Clause', & many others that we love.. But these are the ones that were on repeat for the past month. What are your favorite Christmas movies?

Trends [Hunger Games..cough, cough]

I'm not one to follow trends. I loved Harry Potter and Twilight before it was 'the thing'. So naturally, when I started hearing so much fuss about the Hunger Games trilogy... I wanted nothing to do with it! The first time I heard someone saying how much they loved it, I thought "what is that?". Maybe it's a new diet book that everyone will get obsessed with... Then the other night my hottie husband and I went to Barnes and Noble as part of our date night to read magazines and books. I saw it was only $9! Super good steal for a book. So I went against my morals of going with trends.... and bought it. So that next day I was on the couch reading and thinking that yeah it's good and all but maybe not quite as much as everyone else talked it up. Then I realized I'm already half way through. Ok, so maybe there is truth to the madness. Last night I finish the book and almost have an anxiety attack because I HAVE to have the next one.. now! Yeah, I'm glad I'm not obsessed like all of those people out there. {Must.. get.. next.. book.. now!} 

Half way through the week people! Have a good one.

70 degrees in January

Lovely 70 degree weather in January. Good ol' Southeast Texas. I had a great weekend with my love. Friday night we cooked and watched 'The Changeup'. It was pretty funny, but raunchy. Saturday we went out on a date. Olive Garden for dinner & coffee, then went to the movie to see 'The Sitter'. Super funny movie, we loved it. I'm still trying to get a feel for the bloggin' world. Hope everyone's weekend was fabulous! Later y'all.
