Movie Summer is upon us!!!

Hi all,

Yea me again... not much to say but I am excited for the movies that we are seeing now :)

well May brought us THOR!! and his mighty chest!! oops I mean his mighty warhammer!
ok what am I saying I Love this guys body! The actor took the part and embraced it as well as a great cast. They brought humor, wit and yes Sexy man CHEST to THOR!
I suggest you all see it.


Next we had an adaptation of Preist a Japanes Graphic novel and I have to say it was not bad.. its a good popcorn movie if you need a movie to see...

Then we had Pirates of the Caribbean 4th installment. Again a good movie it has nothing to do with the first 3 other than it is a story that is a part of the infamous pirate's Captain Jack Sparrow's Life. Great acting and no preaching from Orlando Bloom!!!


Then just to add some fun to our summer we got a second Kung Fu Panda where we get to see the development of the friendship between Po and the fabulous 5.

Its really cute and again well done humor, wit, action and sorry to say 3d of a panda butt :)


And finally to finish off May and start of June we had Xmen First Class, a new handling of the Xmen line now that Disney yes Disney owns Marvel. It shows the making of Cerebro and forming of the school as well as showing that Magneto was destined to be the antagonist.
I may not know which comic this story came from but it was a well thought out and presented telling of a good story.



June and July will be exciting with Green Lantern, Captain America, Harry Potter final part II of 7, Cars 2, Transformers 3, Winnie the Pooh, Cowboys and Aliens.. the list goes on and on... so stay tune for my next post of the movies I see in JULY!!!

Knock knock knock... anybody there???

HI all,

Yes its my semi annual posting here on my blog. I apologize for my lack of blogging it is just not my strong suite.

What has been going on?

Well I hurt my sciatic nerve a couple weeks ago, I thought I could ignore it and just stretch it out and it would be ok..
however a week from the day I first noticed it I was in so much pain in my left leg I was ready to see a doctor.
I went to the IHC just for some relief, while I waited for an open appointment at the Smart Clinic. The Doctor there prescribed some steroids (YIPPEE!) and muscle relaxants and therapy. So I then made an appointment at a Spine clinic where one of my coworkers goes for his neck issues. I got some treatment and Thursday night i was in less pain than I had been in over a week.
AMAZING. I got an mri on Friday and today i am feeling pretty good, still don't know what the mri says will find that out tomorrow when I go to my next session at that Spine clinic. I cancelled my appointment at the Smart Clinic because I was feeling so good this week. The only problem is my left foot is numb on the last 3 toes and my left calf gets really tight and I need to stretch it alot.

I am still working on taking my Black Belt test my goal is to do it before I turn 50 so that gives me till Aug 3rd this year!!!!
The nerve issue is cutting into my practise time and yes i think my brain is going dull because I don't memorize as well as I used to back in College LOL

Now for some of the fun I love to provide in my posts...

Broadway shows I am seeing in the next few months via Broadway Across America:

Young Frankenstein!!!!



Then I believe the next thing I am going to see is Riverdance their final tour... never seen it live but am looking forward to some
fun irish dancing :) and some good drums I am hoping!



And then finishing up with a performance of Les Miserables:


a full broadway schedule there... makes me long to be back in NYC.

As for Movies this year... it is the year of the COMIC BOOKS!!!

I am so psyched for this year to get past this month LOL

for those of you who know how much I love a good body check out THOR!!! May 6th!!!



See you at the Theater!

Avatar the Last Air Bender!!!

Ok so yes it is originally a cartoon on Nickelodeon but HEY its martial arts with the elements who can say no to that?

Well I loved the Cartoon and only wish they would come back with a new series with the same characters but maybe that is too much to ask for...

Well tonight at midnight I am going to see the Movie made by M Night Shamalamama... yea I Know I really don't dig his movies they are always so bleak or dark.

Well I hope he did a good job on this one because if he doesn't I will never forgive him...

Just ask my Brother Joe How I have never forgiven Stan Lee for letting them destroy the perfect assassin Elektra in her movie.. Assassin goes to Soccer Mom.. UGH!!!

I will try to let you know how the movie is and hopefully it won't be full of explitives!

Trailer for your enjoyment:

Family Gift Bonanza... When Mini m & m's just don't stay in the tube!

Well Last Weekend I invited all my family here in North end of Utah to a family gift exchange. It has become a tradition for me as when I was in NYC and came out I had to do quite a bit of getting around to get all my presents delivered... And since I go to St. George now to be wiht my mom and dad to play santa it still works great.

There was a twist this year all of my nieces and their families and juanita took public transportation.. Saving gas and the environment!!!!

Well that is the story I am sticking to although they will say they spent the entire day getting to and from my house which is a car would only take 2 hours...

still I think the kids liked it and i know i didn't worry about the weather and all of them treading down here on slick roads.

I only made 2 trips to the train because Juanita and Leslie and her boys made the same trains, and a little later Leslie and the clan came rolling in too.

We had a good time eating some food, I especially liked watching gunner walk around with a tube of crackers eating them as he checked out everyone else.

Leslie made a apple crisp desert and it was Fantastic!!!

We all just hung out and enjoyed the food and the fun till Braxton said can we open our presents?? and well I couldn't say no.

I have a santa hat which let each kid use to hand out a gift to another it was pretty fun to see how each kid handled the santa roll. Gunner said Santa Claus HO HO HO. I normally try to get each kid a book and a toy and this year Cambria and Jax both got a watch.. they are getting pretty big and i know I loved my first watch.

I got a nerf target game for the christensens and for Jamie's family I got them Lego Rock Band hopefully they all enjoy their gifts.

Oh yea i gave each kid a Tube of m&m minis to eat and gunner was dumping his in his mouth and have a great time with them... I am sure puddi found a few left over on the ground since then :)

well it was fun, then we all piled back in my car, I mean all of us, trevon, braxton and Cambria got to ride where puddi does, paul, Gunner, Leslie, Jamie and Jax all squeezed in the back seat and juanita rode shot gun, we got to the train and all commented on how there should be a video of eveyone pileing out of the car.

I gave them all a hug and sent them back on their train rides to their homes!

Hope they all have a merry christmas!!!

Thanksgiving and other fun!

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and yes I know I have not updated my blog in ages... so here goes...

Week of Thanksgiving:
Monday Uneventful I just worked and worked and then went home and played.. and then yes slept

Tuesday! Juanita my sister came down on a TRAIN!!! yes i am very proud of her for getting up and getting on a train and having the start of an adventure!
my brother Charles and his wife Debbie picked her up near the Trax station near them and then we met and had dinner. It was good food... and good fun.
Then she and I went back to my place to settle in for the night.
Unfortunately I as tired from working working working and went to bed around 11 on the futon in my computer room.
I always give my good bed to the guest :)

I woke up the next morning took puddi out for his business then made french toast with Great Harvest Cinnamon Burst Bread (thick cut) its the best and you don't need to even use syrup just a bit of butter and they are delicious.
Then we hung out, playing on computers and just chatting.

The Concert!
We jumped on the train to get to the Arena and go see Transiberian Orchestra in Concert. The concert started at 4 and got over at almost 7. I had not really listened much to TSO before so was not sure what to expect and was I surprised!
It was a very good concert it was just hard for me to cheer for any particular song because I didn't know any of them. But what amazed me was the perfect blonde quadruplets they had on stage for backup singers, and all the hair flipping rock stuff.. it was a good time and was fun to see Juanita enjoy herself.

After wards we went to Joy Luck cafe for some delicious Asian food. I had lettuce wraps and wonton soup, and Juanita had Pad Thai Noodles. then we went home and crashed after a stop off at Target for some needed supplies and I introduced her to Starbucks with a Hot Cider and I had a Chai egg nog latte.

Again I was really tired and so I went to sleep around 11 not sure what Juanita did but I know i fell right asleep.

Thanksgiving Day:
Woke up, Dog duty, quick breakfast of croissants egg sandwiches and yogurt.
goofed off watching Charlie Brown Thanksgiving while Juanita pulled out everyone of my christmas decorations and put them out. I am not Festive more so than I have ever been. We then headed up to my Niece Jamie's house for a good meal of Ham, deviled eggs, mini wieneres in BBQ sauce, Buffalo wings, salad, macaroni and cheese, potatoes, shrimp and olives! I was stuffed when I left and had a take home package of my favorites for later.
Took Juanita to her house and dropped her off, I am hoping she is more brave for more adventures in the future!

Since thanksgiving...
Got all my Christmas gifts, Paid Property Tax and just worked... what and exciting life I live!

Thanks for coming down Juanita and spending a few days with me!
