Note to Self: Movies I Want To See

I love going to the movies - LOVE it !  I would got see a movie everyday if I could. 

There are many movies out right now that I want to see so I thought I would make a list of them before I forget them.   Here they are (in no particular order)

Hugo (must see in 3D) - saw 12/10/11
Muppet Movie - saw 12/04/11
Tower Heist
The Decendents
J. Edgar
Twilight: Breaking Dawn - saw 01/07/12
My Week with Marilyn
We Bought a Zoo
Like Crazy
In Time
Mission Impossible
The Artist - saw 01/26/12


Others I wouldn't mind seeing but not at the top of my list
The Legend of Pale Male
Arthur Christmas
Jack and Jill (I usually HAVE to see Adam Sandler movies the day they come out but this one doesn't look all that great to me for some reason, I'd like to see it but there are others way ahead of it - sorry, Adam, please forgive me, you know I love you)

I've Been Pinned !!

I know this may seem so silly to some but to me I feel like a mini-celebrity (haha!).  But once of my posts has been pinned on Pinterest !  It is the post for my Chili Dog Casserole.

I only discovered it when I was looking at Pinterest the other day and thought - hey, that looks like the photo on my blog and sure enough - it was !! Then I realized on the Live Traffic Feed that I have been getting a lot of hits for that post.  I'm glad - that recipe is really good and super simple and quick - kids like it too (but usually have to make it without the beans for the kids).  I think it would be good with a bit of jalepenos added for the adults more into the spicer stuff.

I wish there was a way to tell how many times it was pinned/re-pinned but I don't know how.  I've noticed I've gotten a few hits lately too for my Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cupcakes, but that could be because it is close to Thanksgiving and people are probably googling "pumpkin" recipes.  However, I did find one pinner, who had it on her cake board and she also had pinned my thin layer cake !  How cool !

I've been out of commission this month - my dad has been in the hospital and it was pretty serious so I've been out of town for about 3 weeks.  But, thanks be to God, he is doing much better !

I found these Laundry symbols on a thread from Ravelry, we knitters/crocheters must know what laundry symbols mean :-)

Doggie Doo - Seriously ???

As I was getting ready for work this morning, I just so happened to have the TV on and it was tuned in to the Cartoon Network (okay, nothing wrong with getting my Bugs Bunny fix in the morning).

While watching, this commercial came on - seriously ?! I swear it seems like one of those SNL parody commercials. Who comes up with games like this? Then some big-wigs had to actually say "yes, that is a great idea, let's mass produce them" - oh my goodness.

Oregon Zoo - Squish the Squash 2011

Such a cute video.  Even elephants like getting in on the Halloween fun.  The baby is having a blast !

Men have really changed a lot since this ad was written (from the 1930s), plus I think I found my problem...I've been eating too much Ironized Yeast.  Can you imagine an advertisement today that is focused on trying to have women GAIN weight?  LOL !
