Pedicure, Previews, Plastic, and Precipitation

March 27th, 2012 at 05:34 am

Aaaaah... what a treat! I got a wonderful pedicure today. I have found someone I really like and I love getting pedicures. If money were no object, I'd probably go every three weeks. But I do get a pedicure about every four weeks. It is a complete delight.... massage chair... lovely orange-scented foot scrub... a good massage... hot rocks... and a cute color, for sure! I love the Opi nail polishes, and today I chose the color "The Show Must Go On." Crazy, I know, but it's worth the $25 to me!

We all liked "The Hunger Games" movie, but of course, it was not as good as the book! What we didn't like: the twelve previews we had to watch before the movie began!

I haven't thought about Plastic Jungle for a while, but I'm definitely going to get back to it. I had a quick look today and found cards for places I would use for sure. That isn't always the case. Of course, it will require a little planning ahead. But some places I know I will shop... like the Gap. I don't buy tons of things there, but spend $200-$300 per year between the whole family. Unfortunately, The Husband just ordered an iPad (old, bargain version! Ha!) and we didn't think of Plastic Jungle. If we had, he could have saved about $24.

More rain this week. We need it, I know, but it complicates the way everyone gets to school/work. We will survive, and hopefully a little suffering now will keep the water rates from skyrocketing this summer!

    I liked The Hunger Games (haven't read the book yet), but what I didn't like was the jiggly camera work. Did anyone else notice that? The friend who was with me almost had to leave because of motion sickness.

    I think I will skip it then! I am very prone to motion sickness. Guess I just saved a few bucks. Wink

    "

    Yeah - we usually show up to the movies about 10 minutes late - we usually see some previews, but at least miss the commercials. It is ridiculous. Especially if we hire a babysitter, we don't waste those 10 minutes of our lives.

    We were thinking that the cinematography was done the way it was to add to the discomfort of the movie, but who knows?!

    I saw HG on Sunday and had heard a number of people mention the shakiness of the camera work, but I personally did not notice it. (I haven't read the books, and was NOT planning on watching the movie - but got talked into it. Will now be reading the books!)

    I can't believe you haven't read it, Laura! Are the students at your school into it?

    Yes, my students are very much into it. The storyline really did not interest me (kids killing kids sanctioned by adults??) but now having seen the movie, I'm intriguied.
