Wahh wahh wahhh We have been sick. I know get your violins our for me. I have something that feels like bronchitis. But I don't KNOW for sure since our insurance changed and now we have to meet a 2,400 deductible before they pay one penny. (Thanks to Michaels company!) The positive outlook is that it looks like I am going to figure out more about natural healthy care. I smell like garlic and ginger right now... you may think YUMMY, but no, it isn't. I have done the Neti pot, humidifier, teas, cayenne pepper, Emergen-c packets and Orovo detox so I am expecting to be better any minute now. Seriously, I DO feel better than yesterday.
So being sick stops me from being my usual skiing, bike riding, camping outdoorsy kind of things that I do... bwhahahaha I just had to put this in b/c yesterday I was talking to my friend and telling her I always WANTED to be that girl who loves all those things, but really I am the girl who LOVES movies! I love them. I watch about 4-6 movies a month. I HATE TV, so instead of watching TV I watch movies. I usually only allow myself one movie a week just sitting on the couch, (since I have been sick I have been released from this rule) but my favorite is watching movies while I work out on my elliptical. Golds gym even has a theater room and I jog on the treadmill while doing my fav thing. Here are some of my favorite movies I have seen this recently:
"Amazing Grace". LOVED IT! So inspiring! "The Ultimate Gift".. a little bit cheesy, but such a good message. "HairSpray" HILARIOUS, "Spiderman 3" violent, but I like the overall message. My favorite movie of 2007 is "Freedom Writers". Michael makes fun of me b/c if it has anything to do with inner city kids succeeding and people overcoming racism I LOVE it!! (and if it has that PLUS dancing he says I love it even more-hahaha) I DO love those movies, but they aren't the kind that I can watch OVER and OVER and OVER like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Just like Heaven"~ (my NUMBER ONE FAVORITE MOVIE!), or "Beaches" hahaha (that one is for you Pixly).
I saw "We are Marshall" this week.. I have to admit that I was kind of disappointed. It was just OK.. I have waited for MONTHS to see it and expected more to be as good as "Remember the Titans".
We DID rent the TV series "Psyche". OMG, that is THE FUNNIEST show! and nothing bad in them. We watched half the season in one night. Mom and Dad told us about it in Louisiana and we got hooked there. Now I can't wait for season two to come out.
What are some of your favorite movies? I need some good ones, I am running out.
****Added by Kiki after reading comments about my "cheesy movies" comments. ****
Yes, I KNOW that my movie choices are pretty cheesy, but I am VERY sensitive to the following:
Sexual content and half naked people PISS me off. I really don't want to see other people getting it on! Don't get me wrong, I love seeing the guy and the girl getting together and kissing. But COME ON, leave SOMETHING to the imagination. AND lets face it, BELIEVE it or NOT life isn't ALL about SEX as Hollywood would have us believe and there ARE emotions and consequences that come along with it they they forget to mention.... but I could go on and on about this.
Violence: makes me too nervous and it stays with me for hours after.
Scary: we don't even WANT to go there, even the tiny bit of scary will have me awake and checking under the bed and closets for MONTHS. My imagination is way too strong and I already drive Michael crazy by being a scare-dy cat.

If your remedies don't make you better, they'll kill you! Or everyone around you. Sheesh woman!
I am insanely jealous of your movie watching capabilities. Avery has commandered our tv in daylight hours and I can't stay awake at night. Poor me.
Just Like Heaven is really your #1 favorite movie? The one with Reese? It was good, but maybe I need to watch it again. Jay says, "I'm 99.9% parched and I sure could use a cola." every now and then.
I heard they are going to start playing Psyche on network tv because of the writer strike. I've seen a couple and they've made me laugh. There's a commercial right now for it that makes me laugh EVERY time I see it. Ben says, "it's yo favorite commoshul mom!" He's asking about a Jane Doe and says, "Just go ahead and check all the Doe's, Dosey, Cookie, Tae Kwan..."
Hey, look at that. I left a comment almost as long as your post. Who loves Kiki?!
I love reading your blog! You are hilarious. I just got a Gold's membership too, so maybe I'll run into you! That movie room sounds cool. I hear it is so dark in there you hear big thuds as people fall off their machines--kinda funny.
I like Count of Monte Cristo. That is one of my favorites.
shut up about the "theater" room! why are the gyms so ghetto up here by my house??? Ugh.
Ok your movie list CRACKS me up. You are into cheese louise! Is 'Just like heaven' that movie where the boy gets killed by the tractor? ahhaha. I did see hairspray, and I thought it was cute. Ok trying to think of movies I saw that I liked...
Transformers (surprised me--good!)
Live Free Die Hard (not so great)
Meet the Robinsons (OK)
Bourne Ultimatum (freakin awesome)
Click (cute)
Meet Chuck and Larry (OK)
Disturbia (scary, you'd hate it, but it's good!)
Knocked Up (OK)
The Good Girl (saw on tv, just OK)
Ratatouille (cute, not as good as toy story)
Gridiron Gang (good)
The Guardian (good)
Ok, I know some are old, but hope that helps a bit. I am way behind on new releases. I hear "the Waitress" is good. I love Keri Russell. She is in that.
