BEST MOVIE EVER!

This week's BEST MOVIE EVER! has got to be

L.A. Confidential

A movie full of police corruption, intrigue, hot guys, beautiful women, and ROLO TOMASI. 

Where everything is suspect... everyone is for sale... and nothing is what it seems. 

Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush...

If it is one that you haven't seen, then it one that you must put on the top of your list.

BEST MOVIE EVER!!!

Okay, so yesterday I was watching 

Newsies

and as I finished the movie, and the credits were rolling, I said, "That is the BEST MOVIE EVER!"

My Mom laughed. She said, "You know you used to say that The Sandlot was the BEST MOVIE EVER!"

It got me thinking. There are a lot of movies that I say that about. I love movies. No really, I mean i LOVE movies. I watch them all the time, and when I could afford it I was going to the theatre 6-8 times a month. I'd see every big name movie opening day, if it was available it would be the midnight showing. I'd buy anything and everything, on VHS and DVD, that anyone said was any good at all. There was a time that I knew nearly EVERYTHING that was going on in the movies. My family used to call me IMDB Sarah, or Moviefone.com Sarah.

So, like I said. This got me thinking. I should tell the world what I believe are the BEST MOVIES EVER! I'll make it a weekly post. Why should you care what I think is the BEST MOVIE EVER? You shouldn't, but I'm going to tell you anyway. *grins*

Swaps...

I joined another swap.

This one is from a different source, and not my usual one. I blame Chaotic Goddess Swaps anyway. They are the one's that told me about it.

The Covert Robin: Mystery Gift Exchange

What is the covert robin?

A round-robin gift exchange of handmade presents. I get to make something special for another blogger, and I'll get my very own handmade present from a mystery gifter (my "covert robin").

How fun does that sound? I love making handmade things. I do it daily. This time I just have to figure out something different than I usually do, and send it off. I am really excited about this one. I have a couple ideas, and I'm hoping that it all turns out good.

Friday Confessional

I've been trying to think of things to blog about, different things than what I've done in the past, 

and something fun. I've been wanting to do this one for a while. 

I'm going to link up with Aubrey over at 

So, here we go!

I Must Confess...

I'm feeling older and older every day. When I got new glasses a couple weeks ago, I had to get bifocals, and when I was looking at my eyelashes and eyebrows the other day I noticed that my bottom lashes are almost all white. *frowns*

I Must Confess...

I have eaten way to many frogs in the last 45 days. *sigh* nearly 10 lbs. I think I may need an intervention. Good thing I'm going to try to get off sugar as soon as they are gone.

I Must Confess...

I spend way to much time watching television while crocheting, instead of reading. I must listen to more audiobooks and watch less Doctor Who.

I Must Confess...

I am a horrible blogger/writer. But I like to do it. So it is something that I plan to continue with.

A Book You Might Like: Soulless by Gail Carriger

"Pretty sure you will like it since I saw it on your "to-read" list! =)"

This one was recommended to me by my friend Cathy over at Exploring Your Depths years ago. I've just never have gotten around to reading it. Now that I have a copy I will have to push it up on the list!

A Book From Your Wishlist: Chicks Dig Time Lords edited by Lynne M. Thomas and Tara O'Shea

"I just might have to read this one too!"

I'm way excited about this book. I LOVE Doctor Who. This book has been on my wish-list for YEARS, and I've just never gotten around to purchasing it. Now I have it I will read it right away!

Thank you to Miss Angie and Goddess Beth over at Chaotic Goddess Swaps for sponsoring this wonderful swap. This is one I will be doing again. LOVED IT! It was so much fun shopping for books for Margie over at Bumbles and Fairy Tales. Go over and take a look at what I got for her (hopefully they will be there in the next day or two) and take a look at her beautiful site! I'm totally in love with it.

But you know... it is even more fun getting the surprise in the mail!

Dancing...

Sometimes you've just got to dance!

Gratitude...

For a few years now I've been trying to pick a word for the year and live by that. 

This year I've chosen

I've been thinking about it a lot the last few days. After Mom told me her word is Joy, and a friend of mine mentioned hers was Determination, I knew that Gratitude was going to be mine for the year.

Fear and Dreams

From Facebook/SheRecovers

I hope you lose the fear and live your dreams this year!

a realization...

I just realized that this was my blog, and that I could post whatever I wanted. Even if it is something I've found off the internet. I'll make sure to give credit where credit is due of course.

I am going to start posting stuff that I've found that make me happy, 

make me fall in love, make me cry, make me giggle, 

or is just the best thing i've ever seen!

I'm not sure where I found this. I know it was facebook, but where it was from you've got me.

Love ya'll -

Goals in the New Year...

I don't do resolutions anymore. Resolutions are just good for breaking. I am always gun-ho going in the first few weeks, and then everything just goes to poop.

I've decided that I'm going to go back to what I've done in the past. 

I'm going to set monthly goals and see what I can get accomplished from month to month. 

There are going to be some things that I want to do for the entire year, but I just want to work month to month to see if I can even continue thru the year.

January Goals

1- Continue with Project 365. Take a picture a day for the entire year. Just take my time and get to the end of January!

2- Write in my Q&A a day journal. It's easy to do. Just answer the question, and get thru January!

3- Participate in Three 31's Put Pen to Paper blog day. Looks like something fun.

4- REHAB - get back to rehab. I've been really lax on this, and I HAVE to do this. 

5- Blog at least once a week on this blog, and over on Arizona Sunshine Girls

6- Make at least 3 posts on AzSG's Facebook every day!

I think that these look like good goals for the month. As you can see a few of them are one's i want to keep going thru the year. Actually almost all of them are. But putting them as a monthly goal will be good for me I think.

I hope that you all have some good goals for the new year, and that you can feel accomplishment in what you're doing.



after writing up this lovely post I went to read the blogs I read every day, and lo and behold I found that there is a monthly goal linky.... woohoo!

 

New Year

A new year is about to start.

I can't remember the last New Years party I went to. Actually I've probably only been to half a dozen actual New Year's 

My night will be quiet and consist of lots of food, movies, and spending time with whatever friends and family is around, as it usually does. Tonight it will be just me and my parents. We'll see if we even make it to midnight.
