Country Strong

Was such a freaking WEAK movie.
It was horrible!!!
I've never really been a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow, but there are few movies I like her in. She's a decent actress.....but seriously...a country singer? Not.


Now, Tim McGraw, I think he's turned out to be a pretty good actor. I was a little disappointed when I first heard he was going to play in a movie. But he proved to be pretty good.
I guess I just have a problem with actors turning singers and singers turning actors.
It's ridiculous.
Especially actors turning singers. That's annoying.
Billy Bob Thorton, Juliette Lewis, Gwyneth Paltrow....nuh uh!

Ok, back to the movie....the best part of this movie was.........


Yeah. This guy!
Hellooooo! He reminded me that some country, cowboy boot wearing, cowboy hat wearing, hick sounding guys can be pretty freaking hot.
How have I never heard of this guy before? I will be looking up some more of his movies.

Now, to give Gwyneth credit, I think she did a pretty good job being an alcoholic. She played pathetic well.
But my one of my favorite parts she did, that actually made me cry, was this part:



She does a "meet and greet" with a little boy who has leukemia. The boy is adorable and so is Gwyneth. Best.part.of.the.movie.

I'll give it......2 stars, one for that one scene (sick boy) and one for the hot, young, country singing guy. :)

Wee Bit Wednesday!

{one} have you ever been stuck in an elevator?
I have not. And if I never do in this lifetime...well, that's ok with me!

{two} have you ever ridden on an elephant?
No.

{three} have you ever met a well known celebrity?
I met Corey Feldman when I was in junior high :) That was big time for me because he had made movies with my very first celebrity crush/love...Kiefer Sutherland! ha.

{four} do you have any food allergies?
Not that I know of. Unless gagging every time I look at cottage cheese counts :D

{five} do you know how to sew?
Not with a sewing machine.
But I can with just a needle and thread :)

{six} did you get an allowance when you were young?
Haha, yeah right.

{seven} how often do you fill up your gas tank?
On payday (every 2 weeks) I fill it up. Then I just put in another $20 a couple times in between fill ups.
Gas prices are ridiculous right now. :/

{eight} have you ever been stung by a jelly fish?

Thankfully, no.

{nine} have you ever been robbed?
I don't believe so.

{ten} what is the worst haircut you’ve ever had?
Oh, probably when I was in like 6th grade or so. The fried perm hair. gross.

Gooday, Mate.

Thanks for the sweet text messages and emails about my pity party (last blog).
I swear I didn't post it for sympathy! Sometimes you just gotta let the bad stuff out!
I may complain about my crappy days (weeks), but I know we all have to have them....so we can appreciate the good ones, right?
I had a good weekend. My boys were off doing their own things, so I got a lot done around the house.
Friday night I went to Leah's for a while. A couple of her friends and their kids came over. We made homemade pizza. It was really good.
I went home fairly early.
Woke up Saturday morning, ran some errands, and went for a run with Marianne. Well......we walked the lake once, then she ran and I ran/walked once. And she ran a couple more times around while I helped the kids fish, then walked another round with Marianne. She's so hard core! haha. I'm so not.
I did feel good after though.
Sunday......I did ALL the laundry and watched a marathon of a show I've never seen before.
It's called "Fact or Faked".
It takes stories/YouTube videos/pictures of the "unknown/paranormal" and tries to prove whether they're fake or not. It was pretty addicting. I watched it for a long time. I had to finally just turn the tv off.

Anyways, that's all that's up with me. Not a lot.
But I like it that way.
