Dress-up and Movies!

All right! I've been so busy I haven't been able to post lately.

First, there are a couple movies I watched that I've gotta talk about!

When I saw the commercials for House Bunny, I was not interested at all. I hate everything related to Hugh Hefner. But one of my best friends came up to see a couple of days before I left, and she wanted to see a movie as a fun last-day-together thing. And we totally forgot about checking times before we went! (Thank goodness for the new big theater that isn't too far away!)

And the only movie on was the House Bunny... so we watched it. It actually wasn't too bad. It had almost the exact same plot as Sydney White - gorgeous girl doesn't fit into the big sorority at school, and ends up with the losers, and transforms them into wonderful people. The big difference is that said girl happens to be a playboy bunny.

It's definitely not a movie that guys should see - Anna Faris has NO modesty whatsoever! But my friend and I loved that, after her character fixed up the 'losers', they actually ended up deciding that they didn't want to be her clones, but they didn't want to be invisible like before, either. So they work on being themselves, without being too frumpy or too preppy. That was nice :-)

Another movie I didn't want to see was What Happens In Vegas. I love Ashton Kutcher, I think he's one of the funniest actors ever, but his movies are so gross! I'm NOT watching that last one he did, A Lot Like Love. The plot is that he meets a stranger, sleeps with her, and then they go back to their loved ones - but just can't stop thinking about each other!

Tough.

Anyway, I watched What Happens In Vegas the other day, and it's actually pretty good. I've been waiting for a movie like this to come out! A guy and a girl accidentally get married (aka, they were drunk.) Then they win the lottery, and a big fight over the money ensues.

Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz are great together! It's hilarious... the funny tricks they pull made me laugh until I cried. She tries to teach him to leave the toilet seat down... so he removes it entirely!

Now I'm watching Enchanted.. that's another great movie! Finally, a princess movie (besides the good old Disney Classics) that is just really GOOD! With one exception. The girl has the most ANNOYING voice, and she's cooing and shrieking and gasping throughout the whole movie... honestly. And the "Ahhhahhh ahhh ahh," singing makes me want to cover my ears!

Otherwise, love it. I think it has a message for everyone... I think people make marriage too complicated. I know it isn't easy, but I think it's ridiculous that people feel they need to date around in their teenage years and college years, and then date the person they're 'serious' about for several years, and then live together for several more before they get married.
I think it would be awesome if people would start marrying right out of high school, and divorce became illegal (with exceptions, of course). Or something like that. Maybe people need to take it more seriously, not less. Hmm.

Anyway, this message I'm speaking of... the girl and guy meet and realize they are perfect for each other. They get separated, and although people are trying to convince the girl that her guy is never going to show up, she knows he'll come someday!

She's appalled at how lackadaisical (sp?) the other man she meets is towards his almost-fiance, and starts to cry when she meets a couple and finds out they're getting divorced!

She's kind of an airhead, but it would be great if everyone got this upset about divorce! And it can't hurt for little kids to see that divorce really is a big deal...

I love the end! She ends up switching guys... her 'prince' ends up with the almost-fiance, and she and the 'new guy' fall in love. So I guess that means that the person you think is your true love isn't always the one God has for you?

Anyhow, I'm at Grandma's for a few days with Mom and my sisters - we're going to hang out for a few days and then go to AFLBS. I got all of my stuff at Walmart the other day... it was pretty exciting! I've never gotten so much stuff there at once! Abby and Sarah helped me pick it out... then it was pouring rain outside... honestly, I've never had a more fun late-night shopping trip!

The day before we left, we got all dressed up and took a ton of pictures! Here are some of my favorites...
