Movies. Ah, ya know I love ‘em. And what I love even more… seeing ‘em first! Sneak previews, midnight showings and opening night. Most of the movies I see find me in one of those three audiences. I get it, I’m a bit of a freak (we won’t even open the preview trailers can of [...]

The Proposal
Posted in Cinemarific on June 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The Proposal Opened June 19, 2009 | Runtime:1 hr. 47 min.PG-13: sexual content, nudity and language This movie is freaking FUNNY. Light on the romance and HEAVY on the comedy. Sandra Bullock is not afraid to make a complete fool out of herself and I tell you, those are probably the BEST scenes in the [...]

Imagine That Opened June 12, 2009 | Runtime:1 hr. 47 min.PG: some mild language and brief questionable behavior Oh Eddie Murphy, welcome back!! I was prepared for this to be, well, horrible. Ed, you don’t have the greatest track record lately, hate to be the one to break it to you. But now, you have [...]
GF Tuna Casserole

I actually created this recipe myself. And the kids LOVED it. And the best part, it has SPINACH in it (yep, that’s the green stuff!) I am so psyched!! I whipped this together in record time. And it came out perfect! It’s simple, basic, nutritional and a new family favorite! This fed my 5 kids [...]

The Taking of Pelham 123 Opened June 12, 2009 | Runtime:1 hr. 44 min.R: violence and pervasive language This movie made me like John Travolta again. And that was something I thought wouldn’t happen. So big time kudos! I’ve always loved Denzel, I mean, what’s not to love. And he’s awesome here. He pulls off [...]
10 Things You’d Bring On A Deserted Island
Posted in 10 on Tuesday, Brendan Fraser on June 16, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Ok, first off – I’m playing the Gilligan’s Island edition, which means unlimited batteries, electricity and running water. And if Gilligan’s Island was set in 2009, they’d totally have WiFi too. ‘Cause the Professor might not have been able to fix a hole in a boat, but he’s total MacGyver when it comes to rigging [...]
The Hangover

The Hangover Opened June 5, 2009 | Runtime:1 hr. 40 min.R: some drug material, pervasive language, sexual content and nudity And you thought Tom Hanks had it bad in Bachelor Party! I don’t know if this is supposed to be a remake or what, but it’s all on it’s own here. In case you’ve missed [...]
Just Call Me Pento-Mom
Posted in life on June 10, 2009 | 3 Comments »
So, here’s my admission for the day. If circumstances were different (like I was married, just a wee bit more financially secure and still had working fallopian tubes) I would totally have more kids. There. I said it. I know it’s not a popular notion in this day and age of two kids being considered [...]
10 Favorite Things To Do During "Me" Time
Posted in 10 on Tuesday, Brendan Fraser on June 9, 2009 | 5 Comments »
“Me” time – the definition of this has changed over the years. As a child and adolescent, every moment of every day was me time. Then I got married and had a baby. Suddenly, “Me” time was taking an unaccompanied shower, or getting to use the potty by myself. With two kids in 18 months, [...]
We Got Our Just Desserts
Posted in gluten-free on June 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I got the most divine recipe for Cherry Crisp from Gluten Free Mommy. It was simple, fresh and delicious. My favorite part is that it’s NATURALLY gluten free, rather than using modified products. Ok, so it’s a lot of fat and sugar – it’s a DESSERT, not health food! But most desserts are full of [...]
