My Twisted Story

http://www.thevow-movie.com/

I had been seeing the ads for a few weeks and I am looking forward to watching it with the hubby.  How romantic!  The premise is a young newlywed couple get into an accident and the wife is in a coma.  When she wakes up, she forgets a chunk of time.  She remembers her last boyfriend and not her husband.  Now he has to win her all over again.  Does he do it?

As I start thinking about the movie and personalize it because the world revolves around me. (not)
Would my husband do that for me?  What if it was reverse and I had to woo my husband?  I thought of all scenarios. 

 Why do I make myself mental? 

 Here is what I thought please come and join me to crazy town.

If I was the coma patient, I would surely be pissed off.  I would look in the mirror and say what the f@#$ happened to me? 

Where did the wrinkles come from and why am I so fat?!?!  See if I don't remember my husband then my age would be 18.  I looked completely different at that age.  Forget about getting back with my husband I would be heading to the gym.  I would also wonder why did I move to the boondocks.   I used to live in NY.  City girl.   What the hell?

Then I would look at my kids and grandkids and be sad.  Sad that I missed so much time.  I would also be in a state of shock.  Remember I am mentally 18, I will have kids older than me and iinconceivable to have grandchildren.

My mind just blew up.  I think of all angles and would my husband take this opportunity to skedaddled and get the hell out of dodge?  If I was him,  I would drop me off at the nearest corner.

If my husband was the one waking up from a coma,  he would asked for a second opinion.  Would he give me a chance?  A short, round, Latina woman who adores him. I would be sneaking off to the gym every chance I got. Pull my face tight to lessen the wrinkles or just grow my hair long and cover them.  It may be cheaper. I did win him once before but I was in fighting shape back then. I hope he would.  In my movie version he would.

Don't all love stories end happily ever after?  Oh wait, those are fairytales?  Does it still count?

Thanks for riding with me on this little tour. 

I guess this movie only works by having very young well adjusted and in shape people for the lead characters.

Just Dance

I went to Toys R Us to pick up a video game.  I had been seening the commercial for the longest time.  I am one of those people that can be influenced by commercials. The video game is called Just Dance Summer. 

It seemed like family fun and a way to burn some calories.  After breakfast on Christmas morning, we opened our presents.  Everyone oohed and ahhed.  Of course, after I got my fill of shooting people with my cool Nerf gun, I told everyone to go downstairs.

I moved furniture and popped in the video.  Followed by the obligatory moaning and groaning, they were game.  I had the camera and video camera charged and ready to go.  I wanted to capture as many moments as I could. 

The grandkids danced with the adults in this tiny space and we had a ball.  After a couple of sessions, I took a turn.  My poor heart.  I was sweating but having a ball.

Bill and I took a turn and it was the great time and I looked the worst.  In my mind, I think I can dance but seeing the video in replay I am a hot mess.  Like the saying goes, dance like no one is watching because I did just that and it was hysterical.  The faces I was making was too much. 

I tried not to laugh too much so I wouldn't break anyone's ear drum.   But I couldn't help it, it was the best, seeing my kids and grandkids having so much fun.

 Bill and I had a great Christmas morning.

Elf Talent

Bill and I were at the Walgreens and I spotted a microphone.  I tried it out and it changed my voice to sound like and elf.  I instantly fell in love with it. 

I have a naturally high voice so this made it ridiculous.  I sang songs from the book that was included with the toy.  Bill even tried a few and I giggled with delight.  It was so light.  I so needed to have some light hearted fun.  I also knew the kids would get such a kick out of it. 

I waited until Christmas eve to spring it on them.  After dinner, I took out the microphone and talked into it.  I could see their heads turn towards me to see what was happening.  The grandkids  loved it.    Miss Olivia turned into a little Beyonce.  The kids took turns singing and screaming into it.  They had so much fun. 

It was the best $20  I ever spent.  My cheeks hurt from so much smiling.
