Ahhh, What a Difference a Few Hours Makes & a Weekend Update

Saturday was a wonderful and magnificent day! I had my pedicure scheduled for 10:30am and had an hour and a half being pampered.I love my nail tech and she had no one after me, so she spoiled me a bit. Here is the finished product, the camera doesn't do the nail polish justice. I think I have found my new springtime color. It is purple and has a lot of sparkle, I love it!

OPI DS Extravagance

      










After my toes were dry I went to a good friend's house to catch up. I was gone for about four and a half hours and after that I felt recharged and ready to spend the weekend with the two men in my life. We went to my Mother-in-Law's house when I got home and then after Ayden was put in bed, David and I rented Due Date on-Demand. I am not even going to put a picture up of this movie. Don't waste your time. I didn't expect Oscar worthy performances but I did expect a decent movie. I lost interest about twenty minutes in. This movie has been done so many times and I was really pulling for the Robert Downey Jr./ Zach Galifianakis pairing. Ugh is all I can say. I love RDJ and really enjoyed ZG in The Hangover but they could not save this movie. The premise of the movie is RDJ's character needs to get home to his wife who is nine month pregnant. He and ZD cross paths at the airport and one thing after another happens that keeps preventing RDJ from getting there, or does he? I won't tell you in case you do want to see it, but really, don't.

Sunday we went to church, had lunch out and then rented another movie when A went to bed. This time we had a winner:

What a great movie! I didn't know what it was about and thought it would be a good light-hearted chick flick to pass the time. Was I wrong but I am so glad I was. It was a chick flick, but not light-hearted. Here is the description from IMDb: Maggie (Anne Hathaway) is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone - or anything - tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal), whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love.


I like both Anne and Jake and was curious about this movie. I don't want to give anything away because I want you all to see this movie, but I wonder if my view of this movie was skewed a bit. I have dealt with one of the issues in this movie, and it really touched home and I was crying at a few points in the movie. It brought up a lot of memories, feelings and fears for David and I (well my fears). See this movie and let me know what you think. Just make sure you have your tissues handy.


That was my weekend and I am ready to face a new week!
