Movies & Movies

I really should be getting ready to go out to the movies with my hubby but instead I’m here updating & posting this entry. I guess it will be my own fault if i look a mess lol We’re going to see The Last Airbender. My husband has been wanting to see that movie since he seen the first preview of it, It’s been so long i can’t even remember when it all started. For months now he’s been going on and on about how he can’t wait for it to come out. I do have to admit, I’m excited to see it also but shhh don’t tell him that! I tried to bribe my way into me seeing Eclipse and him going to see The Last Airbender. My evil little plan worked, now he wants to see both. One now and one maybe later this week. We are such movie geeks :D

I feel extremely tired today, like i never even slept. It’s been “one of those days” I haven’t done anything i can say was productive today besides wash the sheets :/ I did play Yahtzee though, does that count?

Well Hubby just called, i really do need to go get ready!

Kennywood & Movies



Kennywood & Movies, originally uploaded by christine,.

I went to Kennywood Saturday with my sister, nieces, little sister ,my sister’s fiance and his mother. We had so much fun! I haven’t been to Kennywood with my sister since we were kids. It was nice to spend time with her & ride rides together ? She rode the ride in the photo for the first time with me, It’s called the Thunder Bolt. It’s an old wooden roller coaster with lots of hills, and it happens to be my favorite coaster :) It’s one of those coasters that make a lot of noise and gives you a ride you won’t forget. The best part is, it’s by the Potatoe Patch. They have the worlds most delicious french fries and cheese, well that’s my opinion but if you tried them you might agree.

Sunday Jas, my mother in law, my niece Breanne and my little sister went to Keystone State Park to go swimming. The water was warm and comfortable. I remember going there when i was little, i was terrified of the water lol I would lay right near where the water comes up and let it hit me, but i refused to go in! Eventually i did go in but it took some coaxing haha

Sunday night we went to the dollar show to see Date Night & The Back Up Plan. Both movies were really good :) You seriously cannot get a better deal on movies. It cost us $18 for 2 movies, a large popcorn and two large drinks. The best part is you get one free refill on your drinks and popcorn. I could spend the entire day there watching movies and munching on popcorn. Tuesday’s are a better deal. They have a small drink and a small popcorn for $1 each. I really hope that place is around forever. I would be heartbroken if they closed.

Well I’m getting off here to read for awhile before bed.

Rain, Rain GO AWAY!

It’s been raining non stop here and it doesn’t want to let up any. The bad thing about it is, we have a leak somewhere in the house and it’s making the basement wet. I think it’s the old fireplace vents that’s getting water in them from the chimney. We have to cap them off on the roof, FUN STUFF. Tomorrow we’re going to a birthday party in a park and it’s supposed to rain tomorrow also. Hopefully it holds up long enough for the party. It’s for our little cousin, he’s turning two years old :D He’s the most adorable baby, and I’m not just saying that!

I’m a little ways through The Girl Who Stopped Swimming. It’s a very interesting book so far, I hope it continues on that way. I’m optimistic about it, God’s In Alabama was really good. I love Joshilyn Jackson. Her books are always southern,full of charm and interesting things going on. I adore southern books ♥ If you know any, please feel free to let me know!

Today is one of those lazy days, i think because of the rain. I always feel so sleepy and lazy on days like these. I’m looking forward to Monday, that’s when the rain is supposed to stop. I want to get out and take some photos at the Rose Garden, but i can’t in this mess. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it actually does stop Monday.

Well, I think I’ll go read for awhile and then who knows.

A Day At The Park



A Day At The Park, originally uploaded by *autumnlove.

Hubby, Soprano and I spent the day at the park on Tuesday. It was a really nice day and we had a good time there. It was something like 84 degrees. The park is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by trees and a crick, so it’s sort of cooler there. I still got a little sun burned though, but nothing bad. I need a tan, I’m like vampire-ish white. X-X

We had Bar B Que at the park. Hubby grilled Turkey dogs, turkey burgers and corn on the cob. It was yummy delicious :P Soprano was really happy because he got to have two turkey dogs. I never seen him drool so much!

Speaking of Soprano, I took him in the crick to cool off and splash around while hubby cooked the food. He loves the water now! When he was a puppy forget about it, he wouldn’t even go near the water. He was seriously terrified of it. I think after us going to the park so many times and him seeing me go in it, he must have realized it’s OK. He even saved my flip flop! I was walking with him in the crick and it came off my foot. It was floating away, here i was trying to chase it down and he takes his paw, plops it down on my flip flop and I grab it. It was so adorable!

After we were done eating we played Yahtzee for awhile. I ended up getting four Yahtzee’s in one game! I guess you already know i won that one :) I guess the park is good luck for me ♥

As you can see, I’m currently reading Little Bee. I’ve seen it several times online and in stores, so i finally just bought it. I’m really glad i did. I’m only a couple chapters in but so far I’m really enjoying it. I tried to read for awhile at the park but it didn’t last very long. The bugs started to attack me and i just got fed up. I can take them pestering me for awhile, but after so long i just get tired of it. I should of put some OFF on before we went, but i didn’t even think to do it.. Next time hopefully i remember! Well anyhow, life calls. Enjoy this beautiful day! It’s supposed to be 89 degrees here.

Rose Garden, Rain & Clue

Yesterday Jas and I went to the rose garden to take photos. It’s probably my favorite place to shoot besides Carson Street and Erie. Not everything is bloomed yet, but i got some beautiful photos including this one of the Japanese Maple Tree

I’m dying for the lavender to bloom. I have an obsession with lavender and photos of it. I’m thinking nature is god’s special gift to us, to make our earth beautiful and smelling good.

Today was such a long and dreary day. I can’t wait for it to be over and done with. It rained all day long and not just a light rain, it was one of those rains that just keeps coming down, steady and hard. When it’s like this, it makes me tired and sad for some reason. Does it do it to you?? I just feel like blah! On a good note though, i got some pictures of the raindrops. I love being able to get close and seeing the reflection of everything in the drops. I was finally able to do it, because i found my close up filters. Well two of them at least, the other two are still MIA. I’m thinking they’re packed in one of the boxes in the little space under the stairs. I plan on having Jason look because it’s a pain in the arse to get back there. Isn’t that what husbands are for? To do the things us women don’t want to!

We just got done playing the game Clue. It has to be my favorite game now. We play it at least three times a week. I got my strategies now, so i make it tough for everyone else to figure things out while i figure it out quicker but hold out to confuse them! I love it ♥ Honestly though, it works sometimes but other times it can bite me right in the tush lol.

Well I’m sleepy and ready to read for awhile, so I’m getting off of here.
