Am I the LAST person....

So......speaking of Netflix & Chill......am I the last person on the planet to discover this show? I started watching it recently, I think I am on Season 2 now?! And I LOVE it! I can't believe that I waited so long to turn it on.....

I am usually kind of a "chick flick" watchin' kinda gal, but there is something about the characters in this one that has me drawn in! If you haven't watched an episode yet, do yourself a favor and turn it on.

I give this one TWO thumbs up :)

PS......my favorite storyline right now...............the inmate who is pregnant by a guard. It's kinda romantic. LOL!

Either that, or Piper's return to the jail, pretending to be all tough 'n stuff! 

DRAMA. DRAMA. DRAMA.

Tammy...

Lights. Camera. DATE NIGHT!!!

Woohoo!!

The Mister and I had a date night the other night and treated ourselves to burgers at FatBurger....it was the first time we have been there! And I have to say, the food was very mediocre. Neither one of us was very impressed, (except for with the decor! It was a fun and friendly 50's diner kinda vibe...) but the food was expensive, and not very tasty. I am pretty sure the gravy on my poutine resembled that which would come from a can. Yes, CANNED gravy. WHAT?!?!

After dinner we headed to the theater where we saw "Tammy" which was pretty funny. And raunchy. And sailor-mouth+trucker-mouth cussin. We enjoyed our popcorn, our reclining seats & many good laughs. The theater was close to empty to since we opted for the LATE LATE show and it was a Wednesday night.

If you haven't seen a preveiw for this one yet, here it is for your virgin ears to enjoy ;)



We give it two thumbs up. (OK, since there is two of us we will say EACH, so you don't think we are giving it a 2/4.)

Now if only the popcorn had been HOT.....

I have to say I am loving hubby's hometime now :) It's awesome to have him home and to myself for 7 glorious days! The 24 days away SUCKS. But those 7 are ALMOST worth it ;)

Peace Out readers! If there are any out there.

Hey, leave me a comment, would ya?!

Ciao!

The Other Woman...

Tonight was date night again, with my friend Mel.......the first one in a LOOOONG time! And we hit up the theater to take in "The Other Woman" with Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton....affectionately called "THE BOOBS" :)

This movie was hilarious. I could not stop laughing and had to contain myself so I wasn't actually snorting in the theater. I loved it...and the company was just as good as I remember!

The evening got off to a funny st art, when we couldn't believe how deserted the theater was! I was there first, and was LITERALLY the only person standing in the lobby......so imagine my relief when Mel texted me and said she was there...PHEW!

We couldn't help but snap some pictures of the empty lobby, each other standing in an empty movie theater and chuckling over the ticket dude telling us that a total of 14 people had been in the theater all day, making us numbers 15 & 16. Mel got at a funny shot of my zombie eyes and all in all, it was a great giggly girl's night!

To quote Mel...."There were parts where I was thinking, "this movie isn't really that funny", and then parts when I had to put my whole fist in my mouth to stop from snorting..."

This one was a great one, so go and see it in the theater while you can! And let me know what you think of it! Even the previews were great! There are some good movies coming our way peeps!

This broad gives this one, THREE thumbs up :)



~*~The broad who wants to blog........about EVERYTHING!~*~

It's been awhile...

...and my how things have changed! We have moved.....AGAIN. No big shocker, I suppose. This was our 3rd move since April. Yes, I said THIRD. We have returned to Alberta.......the land of opportunity, so to speak. And things are looking up for us, for the first time in 11 years.

Firstly, I am back with my son. Well......in the same town, anyway. He is all growed up now, after all....but it is wonderful to be able to see him more often.

What brought on this sudden change, you might ask? A few things....

Back in September I attended my yearly scrapbook retreat and as always, had the time of my life :) Realized how lonely I have been, and enjoyed the time with Loni and my g/f's very much. I wanted to be near them all again.....even though leaving my family was tough. We seem to have a "closer" relationship from afar though, for some reason.

My husband also was offered an incredible job opportunity that we couldn't over look. He has started an apprenticeship for his "picker truck" ticket and is on his way to becoming a crane operator. He is very excited and I am thrilled to see him thriving, working towards a prosperous career and the best part.....OFF THE HIGHWAY and safe at home with me every night :)

I too am starting a great office admin job in the near future. My start date is not yet determined, as I will be taking over for someone going on mat leave and no one is certain when that will be yet.....sometime in the next 2-4 weeks. For now, I am biding my time crafting and hanging out with my Chica.

We are currently sharing a house with my Chica for a few months, until we are ready to find our own place in the early spring or so. It's a beautiful house in Sherwood Park and I am enjoying being roomies.

That is an update, in a nutshell! Now on to tonight...

The Mister and I ventured out onto the frosty winter roads for a date night.....something that we haven't done in a very long time. We went and saw a movie at the theater and it was so good that I came straight home to post the trailer for all of you, so that you don't miss your chance to see it.

The movie is called "About Time" and it stars Rachel McAdams. It is by far, the BEST movie I have seen in a LONG time. The story was fantastic, and I can't wait for it to come out on blu-ray so we can add it to our forever collection! It will be one that I will watch over and over again.

In case you have yet to see the preview, here it is for you to see......and if you get the chance to enjoy this one on the big screen....I give it THREE thumbs up! And THAT my friends, is impressive...



It is now time to go and enjoy my tea and the rest of my evening with the Mister.....take care and stay warm out there! I shall be back in a much timlier fashion...

~*~The Broad who wants to blog about...EVERYTHING.~*~

My first review!

This is my first review. I have been uninspired to write one so far, but alas......I have one! And it is a gooder!!

I live in a small town, in BC, Canada called Cranbrook. And way back in February it was my birthday. (Yes, I am 29 again...) So my mister, my parents and I went out to dinner after spending the early evening at my Niece's birthday party!

We went to a restaurant here in town called Mr Mikes. Now, before I begin there are two things you must know.

1) I am an incredibly picky eater...and
2) My mom and I just started a new diet.

So needless to say, I had my doubts about going somewhere new. Boston Pizza was the first choice but when we arrived, it was FULL of drunk rowdy patrons enjoying the fight.

ANYWAY......mom, dad and I all ended up ordering the same thing off the menu. Smuggler's Cove Chicken it was called. And it was ABSOLUTELY TO DIE FOR. Seriously! The chicken was perfect. The shrimp and scallops were perfect. The rice was DELISH and the veggies were seasoned with dill to perfection.

This will be my new favorite place to go out. And that will be my new favorite meal to order.

Everything from the atmosphere, to the food & the service was perfect. If you are ever in our sleepy little town or are a local, go and check it out if you have not yet!

You won't be disappointed!

It's funny how things catch on....

I am an iPhone junkie. I will admit it. I finally got my first iPhone (the 4) in August of 2011. Fast forward to Christmas Day 2012.....my fabulous Mister dropped my beloved iPhone in the kitchen sink. Boxing Day 2012 I became the proud new owner of the iPhone 5. And I love it just as much even more than the 4!

And I am an app junkie too. I have many on my phone, games, social media, games, exercise/diet apps, games, photography apps, games..........just to name a few.

But isn't it funny how a new app takes off? Recently I was on Facebook and I saw a friend post a photo. The photo had 4 pictures in it and some letters all scrambled up and lines that looked like they should hold a word. She was asking for help, to "solve this one!"

This was the first time I had seen this app. And I immediately went to the App store to download it. There was no way in heck a new app would come out, (ESPECIALLY A GAME!!) and I not check it out!! I downloaded it, got sucked in, played through to about round 113 or so. And now, not even one week later, EVERY TIME I go onto Facebook SOMEONE is posting about this game!!! It's truly gone viral. At least on my Facebook wall! Maybe all my friends are gamers like me. :)

Do you have it yet? Just in case you don't and have absolutely NO idea what I am talking about it is called

"4 Pics 1 Word"


Yes, that is right my fellow game addicts. Run to your iPhones and get downloading! It's a gooder!

Even the mister plays it. On his iPhone 4. That was mine and dropped in the sink. iPhone kind of RULES, doesn't it?! That sucker was FULLY submerged in the water for about 2 minutes before either of us realized what had happened. And it is in perfect condition now and the hubs has his very own iPhone.

And 4 Pics 1 Word too.
