My kids, ages seven and nine, have a way of driving me nuts. I am sure many parents are familiar with the endless supply of energy that your kids can have especially when all you want to do is chill and relax. When they want more from me than the energy I have to give, I bust out with the Uno cards. They are still on an energy high but the y simmer it down just enough to play the game. We can enjoy eachother's company, and I can lay back and relax a bit. It's a fun game and easy for all to play. Thank you Uno for my moment of sanity.

I am so excited about Twighlight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 starring the usual suspects- Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner . Yup; I sure am! I cannot freaken wait for this movie to come out. First off because I have read all the books and love the ending and secondly, I am looking foward to seeing how the now broken up coulple interacts doing the promotion for the movie. The last part is petty but hey I like a little bit of drama , especially when it is not in my own life. I'm excited to see all of the vampire powers in action and the wolf packs aren't too shabby to look at either. November 16, 2012.

Snow White and the Huntman starting Charlize Theron , Kristen Stewart , and Chris Hemsworth came out on DVD yesterday. I saw it in theaters and loved it but not because of Kristen Stewart. Her acting was ... well, regular. Charlize Theron and the evil witch though is the truth. She makes the film worth the watch. LiteVi rate: B

I do not get to the theaters as much as I would like to anymore but this Loopers trailer is intriguing. Bruce Willis and Scifi, gotta love it. Yes, I did and still do love The Fifth Element ;). Set in the future where only the criminal syndicate control time travel, Joe (a looper, assasin) learns that the person he has to kill is his future self. Looper, directored and written by Rian Johnson and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt, looks to be action packed and suspenseful.  Release: September 28, 2012

You are worthy, We are worthy Lack of self esteem is a bitch. There is no other way to put it. A lack of self worth impedes people from going after their true glory. It suffocates the mind and leaves us starving for more, only we have no idea what it is we are seeking, so we search out the wrong things to fill us. I am not sure when or what causes the erosion of self esteem to being, but I do know that at some point we have to realize that no matter the opinions, the thoughts or circumstances that may come upon us as a living breathing person, we are wroth of more. We are worthy of love. We are worthy of success. We are worthy of joy and happiness and all the gifts that we have lying dormant inside of us, waiting. Let us not be satisfied with our mere existence. For the virtue of my existence alone gives me cause to strive for more. My existence regardless of reason or cause is proof enough that the universe, nature, science, cellular reproduction and God made me worthy of ...

You Are, We Are You must disregard all the negative comments and defeating thoughts, for we are worthy

Tempted by Trouble by Eric Jerome Dickey is novel about a couple that has come across some hard times and made some poor choices. These choices led them to impossible situations on the bad side of the law as bank robbers. Now, I had a lot of issues with this book in that the main characters were ticking me off. Dickey did a brest job of putting together characters that were realistically flawed. Even though I found them annoying (I cant say that I cared got any of them), I really wanted/needed to find out whet was coming next. Tempted by Trouble read like a movie. It is a good read for males and females.

Let me be honest, I have not read a mystery novel in forever. I am a romance novel chick, but I thouroughly enjoyed reading Death at the Double Inkwell by Shonell Bacon . It was a fun, easy read that had intrigue, secrets, and, of course, murder. Click on the picture to learn more about it.

I finally got to watch the Avengers. First off, I could definitely pass on the 3D. Although, I would totally go see it in IMAX. I freaken loved it! I will admit that there were some slow parts. They could have left that extra 20 mintues on the cutting room floor for an even two hours. Regardless though, those slow moments did not take away from the whole of the move. All of the Avengers held their own and brought their own brand of specialness to the table. I have to say though that Mark Ruffalo as Hulk stole the show. As much as I loved Edward Norton in his portrayal of the Hulk, I have to say that Ruffalo did not leave me room to miss Norton at all. I think that is a credit to his acting as well as the material he was given. All in all this was an A movie.
