the curious case of benjamin button...

Well, the weather in Seattle was colder and much snowier than Minneapolis! I know, shocking.

On the 26th, I went to see Benjamin Button with another flight attendant and we loved it! It was a classic love story about 2 totally normal people, except that Mr. Button ages backwards. It is directed by David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac) and the screenwriter (correct me if I'm wrong) also wrote Forrest Gump. It wasn't dark like Fincher's previous movies, but it is a magical story about life and love and how there should be no regrets. It the kind of movie that has kept me thinking for days now, and it also made me realize just how damn hot Brad Pitt is.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone. It is just beautiful with lovely cinematography and music, and although just under 3 hours, really captured my attention enough to where I didn't get up to use the bathroom! If you know me, that's quite impressive! The visual effects are so amazing that the flight attendant next to me asked where they found an old man just like Brad Pitt.

Hmmm. Anyway... Go see the film and report back on your favorite aspect or what you hated. Then you can dream about Brad as Benjamin on the motorcycle! Hehehe!

merry xmas...

I honestly think our lives are getting back in order. We now have 2 new car windows (or newish from the junk yard) and one new car battery! My car's battery was low, then the stupid temperature was only 0 last sunday and the battery obviously didn't start. After 4 pilots, one ramper and I tried and tried to start the car for an hour, it was clear it wasn't going anywhere. Then the dang temperature set a record by dropping to -19 at the airport, that had nothing to do with anything except it was REDICULOUS!

After all the crud that has happened, I am finally getting into the holiday spirit, and yes, its slightly delayed. Tony and I got the tree and trimmings up two days ago. It is now full of gifts underneath thanks to our loverly family.

On the 23rd, we had some semi-celebs on the plane. Have you heard of Hall & Oates? I thought so. No, they weren't there, but John Oates' parents were! It was just funny to think they were on their way to see their son in Philly for xmas.

I am now going to seattle to brave the rare snow for xmas day. Tomorrow, like a total fool, I will go to the mall of america in Minneapolis, but I am planning on seeing Benjamin Button! I am very excited! I will give the official review after.

Happy christmas!!!

happy holidays and haircuts...

Yep, its the holidays again and of course I will have to work on xmas and new years. I have basically no time off from the 20th until the 2nd of January. It is sad, but I guess it's life. We have been trying to set up the house with xmas decorations, but so far there is one string of lights in the front window, barely visible from the outside. Hopefully I will be inspired in the next couple days to put up the rest.

I did start the holiday cheer by making some super delicious gingerbread people! I was a gingerbread virgin, but I am a total pro now. They turned out super yummy! They are especially wonderful dipped in cool whip, which has spawned an out break of talking like Family Guy and "coowhip". If you haven't seen the episode, then you just don't get it and that's too bad.



Onto the other subject in the title...

I am getting tired of my boring old, grown out dark hair. I am usually changing my hair so often that people at work don't even remember me, and yes, that's a fact. I have hardly changed my hair in the last two years. It is dark and growing, and that to me is just boring! I think I have decided on a new hair style!!! YAY!

Well, the style happens to be Katy Perry's haircut. I love her music, for some odd reason, and Tony just thinks she's super hottt!




But I am worried about the bangs. I usually wear my hair curly at work and most of the time striaght bangs with curly hair looks like crap! What to do!? I am also going back to my original color maybe with some random highlights!

Oh on a totally different note, I finally got a window for my car! I can now drive to work!!!

01 December, 2008

Yes, I am lame with the bloggin lately! Sorry. A lot has happened, so enjoy the info. Here's the newest news and totally random thoughts...

Well, a couple of weeks ago i applied at Metro State in Denver so I can go back to school. It makes me wanna vomit just a bit at the thought of it. I truely hate school and would love to never attend again, but seeing as I hate my job, I think maybe i should get on it. YIKES! I really really hate leaving so often, and I can't figure out if its from the new house or newly married, but being gone for at least 2.5 weeks a month isn't really doing it for me anymore. I have begun to hate the process to even get to work...laundry, pack clothes, pack food for 4 days, leave 1.5 hours early for work, park in a giant open lot, take a bus to the airport and wait around until i meet my crew. I think the thing I loathe the most is TSA. They are just horrible. I know everyone has dealt with them at one time or another, but to deal with them everyday in every city, really takes a toll on a person. I brought my butter knife onboard as I have done for 2 years, and they took it in Houston the other day. They are so very inconsistant. Waking up early East coast time, then the next morning early morning show on the west coast, really does a number on your internal clock.

OK enough negative nancy!

In other news, I made some super bitchin stir fry a couple weeks ago. It really was fab. Oh Paula Deen you are amazing, even if you usually put 2 pounds of butter in everything!

We had such a wonderful early thanksgiving! Carly, matt, friend faith, tony and I celebrated on wednesday with every fixin. Carly, Faith and I spent thursday in Indianapolis so we went to Australia, the movie, not the country! It was so fantastic but has gotten so many bad reviews, although I have read the reviews in USA today, US weekly, and other smut magazines. I highly recommend it, and no it isn't as romantic like I thought.

On a super aweful note, Tony and I have had two, count them 2, car break-ins in the last month! It has been just terrible. The broke into both cars through the front passenger windows, and took Tony's stereo and ruined his dash. My stereo is stock and the cd player in the trunk kind, so they didn't want it. We still haven't gotten a new window yet as it just happened last week. Carly and I were off to see Twilight when we found my window. I just started screaming. I also found tony's the same way earlier in the month on my way to work. The cops said corner houses in the area were getting hit like crazy! We can't move our house, so we cleaned out the garage and actually parked the car there! Novel idea, I know!

Oh and don't worry, carly is such a good friend, she took me to twilight later in the day, and yes, we loved it!

Hope you enjoyed the lengthy and long-awaited post, I know you have been holding your breath for a new info! Oh and happy December 1st from Austin!
