2010 Puppy Christmas

Well it was one for the books. Patrick, Pelota and my 1st Charleston Christmas together. We thought about trying to get home for the holiday but my work schedule wouldn't really permit it. We got a real tree, put up a wreath, made Christmas cookies, and opened gifts at 7am Christmas morning.

Patrick-
"Babe you get the 1st round and I'll get the next. We have no one to wait for to get up so let's OPEN those gifts!"

Me-
"Umm it's 7 am."

Patrick-
"Exactly! What else are we going to do?"

And so we opened gifts early Christmas morning. The weather was really warm so we took puppy to the park where he met a great dane and lab mix to play with. Of course I didn't pack the camera but it was super cute to see that huge dog and lil Pelota. Lucky for us Pelota was run ragged and was super tired the rest of my vacay. He is too cute when he's tired. You can literally do anything to him and he just looks at you with big puppy eyes. Pat and pup are cuddling on the couch with the new heated blanket (you know its snowing). I swear it hadn't snowed in Charleston in over 10 years until last Feb when I came onto town! It's only a dusting and it's not sticking, but Pelota isn't having it. He hates going out to potty in the cold. Like his mother Pat says! Haha. All in all it was a great Christmas break. I def miss the fam and friends but having our 1st Christmas alone was nice.

Movie Review 2010

Here is my movie review 2010:

Avatar- Cute story, loved the action and 3D. The characters were well rounded, the bad guys were bad and the main characters hot. All in all I loved it both in 3D and DVD. I usually don't believe the hype but this is a must see in my book.

Black Swan- Ummm disturbing. Natalie Portman was so thin that I honestly couldn't look past it. I get it. The self destruction of a dancer in the pursuit of perfection. Really I could have skipped this one. Caitlin, Pat's sister, is a dancer and knows what discipline it takes to live that life so she recommended it. To me life is hard enough without watching it for 2 hours on the big screen. If you want a movie to "make you think" or shock you see it.

Tron- Patrick was so amped to see this movie. We got there early, got the best seats, had the glasses and then waited and waited for something cool to happen. Where was the action? Where were the fight scenes? Why did "the dude" sit in his computer flat talking about nothing for 17 minutes? I wanted more and got nothing. Skip it save your money!

Potter- Loved it and can't wait until the last installment. When it's over I want the whole thing in a DVD set. So whoever reads this remember that for my Bday!

The Lovely Bones- I cried a lil. From the trailer you know that a young girl will die and the hunky Marky Mark will be shattered and try to find his daughters killer. I really thought the movie was done well. I'd recommend this if you don't need a feel good. God I love Mark Walhlburg. Cannot get enough of him.

The Legion- Def my type of movie and a quick time killer if your bored on a Sunday afternoon. Paul Bettany is a great actor. I'll watch it again when it comes to Netflix.

Hot Tub Time Machine- Watch it watch it watch it!! Too funny. Love the premise, the outfits, the soundtrack. It's too funny!

Just a few of my opinions. Still have a few in my Netflix queue.
