Movie Monday

hello, you ♥

 Yeah, it's already December. Holy smokes. 

Rob and I both had today scheduled off from our jobs, as a way to complete our Thanksgiving road tripping without exhausting ourselves. After the weekend we just had, it was an excellent decision to give ourselves a few extra hours of re-charge before heading back to work.

Sydni got the raw end of the deal; she had to be back for school, and I somehow managed to appease her requests by the compromise of iPad time in the car.

Today was a rather unceremonious entrance into December for us; Rob took advantage of the extra hours to sleep in, and I made myself busy catching up on some RedBox flicks I've wanted to see [specifically The Giver, but I threw X-Men into the cart as well, just for good measure]. I won't spoil the fun for any of you out there who've yet to see either of them, but if it matters, I'm glad I just... waited for The Giver to make its way to RB. Jus' sayin'.

Anyway, I'm proud to say that the house is clean, dinner's cookin', and these two are driving the dogs crazy with that stinkin' helicopter that found its way into our family when we were in Illinois. Sydni loves it, and I'm sure within no time, she'll be hovering that thing around this house like a pro.

♥ these two!!!

^^ That's my little world, folks. ♥

Happy December!

Movie Date Night (:

I realized yesterday that this came out on Friday:


Poor Rob, who called off work and spent the day at home nursing some mild form of food poisoning, somehow managed to put up with and accompany me to go see it.

From what he says, he thought it was worth it. From what I saw, I'm probably going to see it again in theaters and will definitely buy it when it hits the shelves. I'm a nerd like that, and hey, #sorrynotsorry.

Also, this guy, who I loved in ELF, is also in it:

peter dinklage
miles finch, elf | boliver trask, x-men days of future past

Yep. As much as I love Hugh Jackman, Ellen Page and Halle Berry, I couldn't help enjoy Peter Dinklage even if he is [**SPOILER ALERT**] the leading villain in the movie. I sat there for 134 minutes picturing North & South Pole elves while hearing him in a totally different character. Yenno, kinda like how nobody will ever see Jaleel White as anyone other than Steve Urkel, even if he were to someday play the bigscreen portrayal of Obama himself? It's the small things.... I'm entertained (:

Aaaaanyway.. totally worth it.
Go see it.
Invite me if nobody else wants to go.

And... Enjoy the 4-day week [if you have one]!
