Sharknado = Win!

I said I would come back after I watched Sharknado to let you know what I thought..... I LOVED it!

(my poor sweet baby last shark week)

It is not a show that I will buy and watch over and over again but I enjoyed it so much. I was not even able to embroider while I was watching it I was so into the show. Is it cheesy, yes. Is the acting bad, yes. Is it a traditional SyFy movie, yes!! Da'Hubby was not a fan of it at all. He was bored by it in the first few minutes but I just thought is was amazing. I recommend this movie for any cheesy film loving person.

SyFy does it again!

Guys I am so excited about Sharknado tonight on SyFy. I swear they are the greatest at making the cheesiest movies. The only one that I can honestly say I did not like was Sand Shark. Poor Brooke Hogan is not a good actress and this was blaring obvious in that movie. I am hoping Sharknado is much better.

I mean look at the poster for the movie, they know it is a cheesy movie. SyFy knows what they are doing when they make movies like this and I think they know people like me eat them up! I am a bit worried about Tara Reid being in the movie...Fingers crossed it is not another Brooke Hogan in Sand Shark. I will check back after I watch it to tell you what I thought.

P.S. are you planning on watching Sharknado??

Snap Chatting my big/little cousin

And yes I have become completely addicted to snap chat! I am always sending pictures to my little brother. He is 16 and just got his first job and he has the sweetest girlfriend, so I like to check on him to see if he is being good during the day by snapchatting. Plus I get to make silly faces! Da Hubby is no longer effected by my faces. 

So what have y'all been up to?

Book Club: Speaker For The Dead

Last Book Club was about the previous book in this series. And let me just tell you, this book did not disappoint! I read it a little slower than Ender's Game, but it is still a great book and I cannot wait to start book 3.

Synopsis:

In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: the Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War. Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered by Portuguese colonists on the planet Lusitania. But again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening ... again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery ... and the truth. Orson Scott Card infuses this tale with intellect by casting his characters in social, religious and cultural contexts.  (Straight from Barnes & Nobles Site)

What I Thought:

I have learned when I try to give a synopsis I always wind up giving away too much of the story so hopefully B&N didn't do that. LOL. So this books is nothing like Ender's Game despite being in the same series and by the same author. This is much less a war book and more of a look at the lives of the people. It discusses religion, how people are reacting to the death of the buggers, and it is like a totally different but equally talented author wrote it. I had so many emotions with Val and Jane. The Speaker (Ender) is not the same person we came to know in the first book but it is for the better. I cannot say that one book is better than the other because they are so different. 

Rating:

4 out of 5 

This one is left with a 4 because of the 'cliff hanger' ending. It is not a major issue since I already downloaded the next book, but if I had to wait a year between books it would have killed me. I will be re-reading this book.

What books are you reading this summer? Are you reading this series before the movies come out?

End to a Guilty Pleasure

Yikes! That title sounds like a title to a dirty movie or book but my post is completely innocent I PROMISE!! Now, please tell me I am not the only one who was completely disappointed with the series finale of Secret Life of an American Teenager. 

I have loved this series as a guilty pleasure, and now it is over and I have so many questions left unresolved. 

Will Ben and Amy get together? Who will Ricky(my favorite) end up with? What about Henry? There are so many questions about him - how will he cope with the military, what about the distance between him and Alice, if the show got a spin-off would he die in battle? What about Grace would she finally live for herself or would she go looking for someone else like Grant? Will Amy finally quit being selfish? What about John? Whatever happened to Ashley, she was not even in the finally (except flash backs). 

I really hope they have a spin-off so I can have answers to my questions. There were times I seriously hated this series but it is a train wreck that I cannot stop watching. I have to know what happens.  

What are some of your guilty pleasure TV Shows? I need a new one. 

Hat's off to graduates

I cannot believe that my sister is graduating from high school, TOMORROW! It feels like just yesterday she was calling me 'Ka because she could not pronounce my name. Now she just does it when she is trying to be sweet. 

Just look at that precious little girl up there. She is now driving, finished with high school, working, and becoming a proper adult.  

I am not ready for her to be an adult yet. But at least I still have Matt (16) and Blake (5) to be kids a while longer.

I bet I can still get her to do this kind of stuff though - that only cost me 1 dollar. 

Congratulations to all graduates and my LaLa!!

Honoring our Heroes

Growing up in a military family where, my step-dad, grandpa on each side, brother, uncles, and many family friends are in the service it is easy for me to look up to the men and women in the services. 

After spending time with my family all weekend from going to a water park, to playing games, bbq'ing, and just hanging around it was nice to relax on Monday and watch movies with Da Hubby.

Yummy snacks from the ice cream truck

Watching these two silly girls jumping on the trampoline

And just loving on my little sister.

Happy Memorial Day to our awesome troops! There are not enough thank you's that can truly honor y'all's sacrifices.
