Recently I’ve learned that…

*There’s nothing like using an old-fashioned desktop computer.
*An apple IS as good as _________. (Fill in the blank with any sweet, unhealthy snack.)
*Your bad day brings out the best in your spouse.
*It’s okay to be overflowing with creativity and have no place to put it.
*BLURGHleehooble! (Oops- some spilled out!)
*Cell phone cameras can give you the same experience as the fancy ones.
*It’s okay to only read half of the book from the library (or a quarter)… you still get something out of it.
*Dave Matthew’s lyric about naked “looking good on you” still amuses me every time I hear it.

*Breakfast for dinner can be the best dinner you’ve had in months.
*Nothing makes me feel as happy & girly as getting a new purse.
*Good friends should be visited more often!
*Traveling a rough road with your best friend is better than sailing the smoothest sea by yourself. (Cliché, I know – but it’s true, especially when the ends totally justify the means.)
*Doing something that lets you know you’ve “still got it” is amazing!
*If it’s ‘broke,’ even if it still works, your husband will fix it! (iHappy)

Oscar Nominated Movies

The Oscar nominees were annouced this morning, and I think for the first time, there are 10 (instead of 5) movies in the running for the top spot. Each year when I watch the Oscars and/or hear about the awards, I feel like I'm missing something because I haven't seen most of the movies. This year, I'm going to try to see them all! That means I have 32 days to see nine movies (already seen one.)

The Blind Side
District 9
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds (check!)
Precious

Think I can do it? I've never been a real dedicated movie watcher, but I'm really going to try!
