So I watched “The Interview” with Franco and Rogen…

First off, I did not know (Or maybe I did but forgot), that I could watch a movie On Demand when it is out at the theater. Pretty cool. The movie had some funny parts, but it did not match up to all of the controversy behind it in my opinion. It was that typical “white boy humor” as people call it. I could see some frat guys watching it while at a kegger. Not that I don’t have a sense of humor, I love the Hangover and Bridesmaids-at least I did the first few times.

Anyway, I thought it was going to be super phenomenal. Maybe that is the reason that I don’t get into books or movies or shows until after everyone else does. I am often disappointed. I believe the hype and then I am all-“man that sucked.”

I will mention a movie that was surprisingly entertaining and interesting-“Into the Woods”.  First off, it had my girl Meryl Streep in it. That will always mean a good movie. But the cast was fantastic. Emily Blunt has really spread her acting wings and I am impressed. I had know idea that it was a musical, so I am glad that I went to see it opening weekend. I didn’t have time to hear about people’s opinions of it to cloud my judgement either way. I don’t know that I would want to watch it again and again, but I rather enjoyed it. Am I one of the few people in the universe who did not know that it was a play already?

Have a great day and go see Into the Woods if you like musical movies. Or, “The Night at the Museum” was really entertaining as well. It was surreal to see Robin Williams in it knowing that it was his last movie ever…

First full day of January is a touchdown!! Or 2 or 3…

So, my daughter and I slept in until 12:15! It was AWESOME! Then she jumped in the shower and I fixed lunch because she had to go with her dad to this annual bullsh– family event. So, he hurried her out the door as we were making play date plans for the weekend.  Anyway, I slept and watched Bravo all day long. I cuddled up in our new leather recliner and put my faux fur throw over me and it was heavenly.

I had the rest of Junior’s of Brooklyn cheesecake leftover from Christmas, and napped like my cat. Then after beginning to watch a movie tonight, I went to Wendy’s, I know I know, and I had a single with cheese combo and a real Coke. I never do that and do not really drink caffeine anymore and I definitely don’t drink non-diet sodas. EVER!! So, it was a treat. The last one for a long long time.

A long time ago, I would be super angry/sad about her dad taking her to this event because I felt like it was a fakey way for him to show her off to people who only live 30 miles away in Maryland but never reach out to her or see her all year. But as time has gone on, I relish these few and far between opportunities to do nothing. I adore my daughter and enjoy every moment with her, but it is not often that she is gone for the day. Her dad is a slug who lives with a woman that he tries to keep secret, who has 4 grown kids of her own. He never gets her, unless it is beneficial for him. So, because I work from home and home school her, we are together bunches.

I feel like a bummy teenager today and it feels kind of groovy. I am in my NY Yankees t, leggings and wrap and I want to go back to sleep after typing this. But, my baby girl just walked back in the house, so I am anxious to see what happened at the drama filled family function. So, I will get off of here for now and exercise a bit because I feel so super stuffed-how do people eat like this? So, have a good night and I hope that you all have a great rest of the week, month, and year!

So, I am thinking of what I did and did not accomplish this past year. The mistakes, the ups, the downs, the happy times, the highlight reel so to speak:) We had a decent year. We did not travel much as originally planned because my daughter really began her acting career. She is young, but has kind of propelled into acting over the last 10 months or so. So anyway, it was a good year. We are alive and breathing and well-all of my friends and family, so that is an AWESOME year in my book!

I decided to start this blog and put all of the other ones from the past completely behind me. I wanted to start fresh and new with blogging and with my eating. I was doing so well and kept weight off that I lost for almost 10 months. I have gained some back, so I figured that I would go back to clean eating, exercising and blogging.

This blog will be about my day to day experiences, my opinion on various subjects or people or just random strangers. I am a pretty opinionated person, but I am generally right about people or situations. My mom says that I am “witchy” with my intuition and/or gut feelings about things. I had someone at church on Christmas Eve tell me that he was a retired detective and could tell that I had good instincts and that I was very perceptive. It was weird because it was my first time meeting him. So in other words, I am ALWAYS right. Ha ha, of course not always, just a lot:).

I love to write a blog where people interact with me, so feel free to talk about topics with me, or comment on my posts. I would love that a lot actually! I look forward to writing and you guys reading and hopefully getting to know some of you guys. Thanks for taking a look-see at my new creation. Happy New Year!!
