Nonsense From Wonderland

A message from our awesome little man : )

Rain, rain go away…yadda, yadda, yadda. It’s been so dreary today. The temperature hasn’t gotten above 48. Someone needs to tell Mother Nature it is still AUGUST! Indy went to get a much needed, overdue haircut this morning, and he looks and smells so nice! Now if I can keep his time in the rain to a minimum so he continues to smell good. We started taking him to a new groomer in June, recommended by our neighbors, and I really like the place. The price is reasonable, the shampoo they use smells so wonderful, and the people all seem very nice. Before that I had taken him to Petco, and I hated the shampoo they used, how long it took to get an appt., and the unwanted comments from the groomer about how/what I’m feeding my dog.

Last night we watched The Ruins. I had a free rental from Red Box. Do NOT waste your time on this movie. It was dumb, dumb, dumb. I am so glad I didn’t actually pay for it. It was so slow, no subtitles for whatever the Mexicans were saying, and the ending was ridiculous. The “evil vines” were far from scary. A lot of times when we get movies I pick, Jason won’t like it, but I will. However, this one we both agreed on. I have always enjoyed horror movies, but it’s so rare to find a decent one anymore. The first really scary movie I watched was “Nightmare on Elm Street”, courtesy of my cousin Shirley, while visiting her in California (she also let me watch Bachelor Party!). I was 11, and at the time it scared the hell out of me, and I think I covered my face most of the time. However, when I went back and watched it in high school, I laughed at how cheesy it was. I don’t get scared by movies now, but it would be nice to see a movie w/a killer (no pun intended) story line and decent actors.  While I did enjoy The Grudge and The Ring, I found their sequels pointless and a waste of time. I did also watch the Japanese originals of those movies, and it was just hard for me take it seriously. Can’t really find much horror when you have to read subtitles through the whole thing.  That being my little vent, I believe we are going to see Mirrors tonight. I hadn’t even heard of this movie until a couple days ago, and now I am on a mission to see it. Keifer Sutherland is in it, so it can’t be all bad. After all, he is in one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time-”The Lost Boys”. I HOPE I am pleasantly surprised and can come away with a good review.

Jason and I are off to pick up the kiddos tomorrow.  I can’t wait to have them home.  Their rooms are all ready and clean for them, which should last about 5 min. after they get home.  I’m hoping to fill their last few days before school w/some fun stuff!
