Seen It
Amish Grace
My mom had put this on the Netflix queue and I really didn’t
know what it was about. Kimberly
Williams Paisley starred in it.
This was a made for TV movie.
It was the story of the shooting in the Amish school in 2006. It was intense and heartbreaking, but a
great story of family, community and forgiveness.
A friend at the Crafting Retreat recommended this show. It’s almost like a spin on the Golden
Girls. It’s based around three
women who get stranded in Cleveland after their flight to Paris makes an
emergency landing. They noticed
that the men in Cleveland actually paid attention to them, unlike in Los
Angeles where the men looked passed them to the 20 year olds behind them. It’s hilarious and I love that my
parents, especially my dad love it too!
The sister put this on the queue. It’s a documentary about Andrew McMahon from Jack’s
Mannequin when he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2005. It features self-recorded footage as he
went through treatment. It was
really interesting and I’m glad the sister recommended it.
This is such a fun and interesting story! This was the second time I’ve watched
it and I think I’d like to own it.
It’s based on a book, which now I think I’d like to find at the
library. To preserve humankind in
the middle of a nuclear war, the Builders of the underground “City of Ember”
decide that they should remain underground for 200 years. The instructions are given to and
passed on from mayor to mayor. One
of the mayors dies suddenly and the instructions were never properly passed
on. The movie follows Lina and
Doon who both realize their city is crumbling and will soon be extinguished and
they do everything they can to save it.
Heard It
Um, LOVE. What
can I say about Miranda? She’s
just so sassy and fun! I listen to
this over and over until ALL of the songs are simultaneously stuck in my head.
I’d heard about 3 of their songs on the radio that I really
liked, so it was no surprise that I really enjoyed their whole album. I wish I would have been able to see
them in concert when they were in Boise a month ago.
I didn’t think I’d be able to get his new CD when it came
out on March 6th, but my mom gave me an itunes gift card that she didn’t want.
I’ve been listening to it non-stop since. His tour just started so check to see if he’ll be coming
your way soon!
Read It
Anticipatience is a “New word of hope for single
women.” Everyone knows I couldn’t
be MORE single. I’ve read ALL the
books. We know this. But this book is different. I recommend it for all single
women. When I re-read it this time
I took lots of notes. I’m hoping
to put all my notes together for a blog post soon-ish.
As you can probably tell by looking at my past posts, I
really enjoy celebrity biographies.
This one was particularly interesting. I’m a fan of the Kardashians and was excited to read more
about their lives from Kris’ perspective.
I didn’t realize how much she and her family were tied to Nicole &
OJ Simpson and how involved they were in the case. Of course I knew Robert was one of OJ’s attorneys, but it
was really sad and fascinating to read a different perspective about all of
it. Kris has really overcome a lot
in her life and has worked hard to get to where she is.
I was excited to read this book too, because I love
J-Hud. BUT this book turned into a
Weight Watchers commercial. I
ended up skimming the end of it because I was getting a little bored with all the
WW talk. While I think it’s good
for her that WW helped her and she’s excited about it and want to share it with
everyone, I wasn’t in the mood for an infomercial. I wouldn’t recommend this. Bummer.
