reel life

Neither John or I are big movie watchers, but somehow we've started watching movies (at home) more often. Rarely do we go to a movie theater anymore, mostly because it's hard to justify the $10 a pop price on something that will be available at the Red Box two months later for a buck. But since the weather has cooled down, the sun sets earlier, and John's been working crazy hours leaving him exhausted at the end of the day, we started renting movies (and even purchased a couple) as a form of entertainment.

As of late we've seen:

Ice Age

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown

Year One (Awful movie, by the way. I was expecting something humorous and instead quickly saw it was quite a mockery of the Old Testament)

Confessions of a Shopaholic

UP (This is the first movie in years that I saw in the theater and then purchased upon its released)

Bill Cosby: Himself (Not quite a 'movie', I realize, but it counts)

Real Genius

Star Trek

We've also been (mentally more than physically) preparing for our move in a couple of weeks. Since we're only going a few miles down the road, I'm not going to actually pack up a lot of things (i.e. clothes, some of our dishes and serving platters, movies and games, etc). I will have to take down the Christmas tree and put away all of the ornaments and decorations I put up a couple of weeks ago, but I'm glad I'll have gotten about a month of Christmas cheer in our home.

Oh, I started working on a sewing (or quilting, rather) project that my mom started. She sent me several pieces to embroider (they have cute little animals on them), and then I'll send them back, and she will put all of the pieces together in a quilt. Once I finish the one I'm working on now, I'll post a picture!
