Sunday is mostly a lazy, puttering day getting things together for the coming week, running errands, tending to the house and finding a few hours to indulge in game play is the standard Sunday in our house. Today though there was a change in the household routine well...my household routine.
I had plans! I had a part of a life outside my home! I'm a homebody so being at home isn't a bad thing but after raising the kids it's been an objective of mine to go out and experience more. Enjoy life with people that I care about and respect. My plan this year has been to Focus and that includes Focusing on new experiences. Now I know that lunch and a movie are not outside of most peoples normal range but I went out with ladies that I see if only once a year.
My day out was spent out with one of my besties Steph ( awesome name right! ), Lisa and Jenna. Steph I see every day because we work together but Jenna and Lisa our contact is usually social media based but hey we got together and decided to go watch some over the top housewife porn.
We figured we would go to a Matinee out in Pitt Meadows with lunch beforehand at Boston Pizza so at 11:30 am Steph picked me up along with the 13 Keri Arthur books for Jenna that I told her I would give her after I cleaned out my bookshelf. We headed out on our journey to meet the other two ladies at the restaurant for a catch up that consisted of the four of us talking over each other nattering about our favourite books, TV shows and memories.
Steph was my date and she had movie passes for Cineplex so our movie was free. Thank goodness because paying for this movie after seeing the first one was grating on me a bit. After going through the munchie grab we found our seats in the practically empty theater with maybe 10-15 people in it including one man with his wife...girlfriend...prospect who knows.
Now I won't spoil it for you in case you haven't seen it or even care to but compared to the first movie they stepped it up at least in the sexual content category. We had to educate Lisa on a few things and she made me laugh as she leaned over and asked Jenna to start a list for her. Lisa never saw the first movie and neither of us read the books. Steph and Jenna both read the books so they had their own comparisons.
The thing I noticed about the lead characters Anastasia and Christian was that whenever she asked him to give her some part of him, emotionally or personal history she would ask but not push and when he did decide to tell her things she repay that trust ( consciously or subconsciously ) by giving him hers and leaning into his devices a little bit after wanting nothing to do with them. So I found a balance there. There was cute humour that had us laughing by how easily it flowed through but personally I found the plot points really weak as well as a couple of avenues that needed more time.
I've heard people try to compare Ana and what's her pickle from Twilight as far as the female aspect of being weak women and I have to say that I didn't see that similarity at all. Kristen Stewart's character made me want to throw things at my screen and sigh loudly while shaking my head...a lot and seemed to paint women in a bad light. Ana however as naive as she was with some things she had the value of give and take unlike Christian but he'll learn.
As much as he wants control, she has the power.
Kim Basinger being in the movie made me feel like it was giving a nod to 9 1/2 Weeks which was controversial for it's time and in all honesty, just as scattered but yet I'll watch it every time if only for the "you can leave your hat on." scene.
Love that song!
If you do venture out to see this movie it has good moments.
Take notes...
See Ya

Out Of The Ordinary
Happy Monday Lovelies!
I was short a post last week since I got sick on my birthday and just tried not to die but as the weekend approached it looked like things were beginning to look up.
You know how after being sick, on that first day that you feel better you think that you really feel AMAZING? Don't trust that...ever. since Bean, Sese and I were all sick together and felt better the same day so Bean and I decided to take a walk and run some errands. Although I was glad to be out it was one of those too much too soon things, I got over it though because I knew that I was going to see The Avengers Age of Ultron later that night with half the family.
I saw...I loved... it was all good although I have realized that I don't need to see movies in 3D.
So after a full day and a late night on Saturday, Sunday was going to be my lazy maybe mow the lawn day...more like HAD to mow the lawn day. As I'm sitting on my deck Choo had asked me earlier that morning f I wanted a motorcycle ( random question ) I said "Eventually..." and said I'd think about it fully knowing that we can't afford to build 2 bikes because he's building one already and but I would entertain the thought. So as I'm soaking up the sun and having a chat with Blondunicorn about the movie I duck inside for I don't remember what and I hear "Um...Steph..." as she's standing in the kitchen doorway looking out back. "Yup?" I say. Dramatic pause "um...your bike is here..."
I'm sorry what?...
She repeated herself and I look outside. " Nah those guys are always driving around with bikes on the back of the truck. he must be just dropping Choo off..." as they lower the ramp, he's smiling and says "Happy Birthday!" and they start unloading a 1968 BSA Thunderbolt...what is that you ask?
I have no idea...
Actually yes I do and do you know why?...because Google is the shit and I looked it up!
Now Choo seems to think my love of British TV should extend into other things, like a motorcycle that I never heard of let alone thought I would ever have. Coincidentally it comes from the same place that is the home of one of my fav British shows right now too Peaky Blinders and as usually I need to be different while my friends and family all own Harley's. I'm OK with that.
So at first I was irritated and mad...really, really irritated but the one thing that I had always wanted to do was build a bike, I can never deny that and now I have the opportunity to learn to do that myself and that sets off some serious excitement for me. I can't wait to strip her down and see what I have to work with but I still find myself saying out loud... "I have a motorcycle"... me...never thought it would happen.
After the shock wore off I went out for coffee with my other Bestie and the most serious baby boy ever lil Cooper with his big blue eyes and was immediately shocked again as I told her about what had happened that morning.
So as ordinary things go...this weekend was not one of them...I...have...a...motorcycle.
She's going to be one Sexy Bitch.
Have a great week!
See Ya

Scary Movie Love Lessons Part 2
Back again with Part 2 for you guys! So let's just dig in shall we...
10) Pale Dudes that hate garlic - Now this one isn't really that bad...maybe pale dude has an allergy? I mean really unless you never see him eat and he runs away at dawn he might be a nice guy just you know...nerdy...
11) Date a real man - What exactly is a real man? Is it the guy that protects his love at all costs and slays the Demon so to speak? What year to we live in? Come on ladies how may kick ass women are out there that have a strong enough will to get the job done? I think this needs both a real man and a real woman!
12) If they're a Zombie...it's over - I have to agree. I'm cutting your head off...end of story.
13) Don't date Writers - Hey now...that wasn't very nice...
14) Some Hotels aren't worth it - Yes old hotels where people have died should be avoided at all costs because chances are you'll either get the room itself or the one across the hall from where the bad shit went down. I have enough trouble with creepy noises and stuff in my own house let alone an entire hotel...no thanks.
15) If your boyfriend doesn't come back for a while - He might have gotten caught up watching Family Guy. This is where the kick-ass ladies come in! Always take something that can be used as a weapon and go save your man! Although if he's been gone to long there might not be much left to save but still, give it a shot.
So now that we've talked a bit about these scary lessons it makes me think of B-rated Horror movies that always make me laugh like;
Zombie Strippers - A zombie movie that never tickled that crawling out of my skin vibe like 28 Days Later. I think mostly because the Zombie strippers had a plan...yes they had a PLAN! They had brains...sort of to capture their food ( Men ) and caging them for later consumption. Honestly I don't even remember what the movie was about except for certain scenes that went against everything Zombie related.
In the Mouth of Madness - not exactly a B-rated movie but close and still though it creeped me out because number 13 is right in a way, scary movies about writers mess with your head. I couldn't sleep for weeks and I must had been around 23 when I saw that movie.
PIN - um..ya...I don't even remember what happened except for it was creepy. The acting sucked as it did in most movies back then. If I watched it now I'm pretty sure I would have a different take on it.
There are so MANY to explore just pull up a seat, drink in hand, load up that B-rated horror flick with a bunch of your friends and have a good time.
That's what I do!
Ok I'm done!
Have a great week!

Scary Movie Love Lessons? Let's discuss!
Hi guys!
On Wednesday I had tweeted this link below...
15 Love Lessons From Your Favorite Scary Movies | YourTango
Now after reading the article I figured that hey why not let's explore this topic a bit more seeing as it's October and all things scary, bludgeoning and creepy are allowed to be prominent until Halloween. Well that and I had to add my 2 cents. I might not be able to get everything into 1 Blog post but we're going to check this out.
1) Don't have sex in the woods. - Um Duh...does anything even need to be said there? Not only can you be brutally murdered but if you survive and come home your Bestie will be picking twigs out of your hair.
2) If your Boyfriend is really creepy, he's probably a killer. - Let's see...why date a creepy guy anyway? He's creepy! Who wants creepy guy? You don't really know what he's thinking and if you have to second guess his creepy actions...GET...OUT!
3) Stop splitting up - YES people! Why is it that when someone says "We should split up" someone doesn't smack him up the side of the head and says "Are you stupid? We all die that way!" because they do...all the time...
4) Check on your oversexed roomie from time to time. - Ok...sure but do we really want to? There might be things we don't want to see...or hear...or know about in any way. Besides Oversexed does not mean LOUD so if your oversexed roomie isn't usually loud and you one night can hear strange, gurgling that might or might not be sex noises just yell from the door. "Moan loud and long for sex and Grunt twice for I'm being strangled" We'll get the message, bust in and save you...or go blind one of the 2.
5) Beware of Mama's Boys - well that depends. A boy that takes care of his mother and cares about his mother is one thing because she raised him right and will have some respect for women. A boy that has an unhealthy almost obsession with his mother you know like their a bit too close well that's another story and you don't want to get in the middle of that because if the boy doesn't kill you...then Mama will.
6) Being pretty isn't everything - Well...being pretty isn't everything but might not be a bad thing either! Jamie Lee Curtis is pretty and survived in Halloween, she may have been mentally scarred forever but she survived because being pretty and smart saves lives while being pretty and dumb as a post gets you killed.
7) Seeing dead people isn't a gift - I agree but if you're seeing ghosts that are just hanging out with loved ones or you know intact and trying to speak to you sure but if they are lets say 13 Ghosts type ghosts...HELL NO! Anything name Juggernaut or missing half their flesh and covered in blood is not the type of ghosts I want to see. Find something that makes those guys go away! I like sleeping and nothing should destroy that!
8) Watch out for over obsessive people - Yes like a Bestie of mine that is a tad OCD about cleaning. She will probably stab you with a fork if you disrupt her...um...cleanliness and sanity right Kris?...ya stay away from them because you never know what can make them snap and decapitate you in a murderous rage that they will have to clean up later but you know what I mean.
9) Do NOT buy a house with your significant other that people have died in - Another Duh... statement! Cheap why? because there was a mass murder? Well that's the perfect place to raise a family! Are you kidding? Not only do you have ghosts and possible possessions happening of your loved ones you have the constant stigma of being the people that live in the murder house. Unless you live with Ryan Reynolds and 28 mins into the remake of the Amityville Horror, he's shirtless for 8 mins take that and then move the hell out. He can leave the shirt behind. I have to say as well though that if you child is telling you they see things....TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY!
you never know...
Ok guys I'll go through the next 5 later but feel free to add you own 2 cents wherever! Twitter, Facebook, G+ ect.
