I just met you, and this is crazy

Lets just file this under AWESOMENESS!!!!

P.S. This is my ALL-TIME MOST FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!!! And David Bowie... Just wow! Those tight pants y'all. Yes please!

Sidenote: I just watched the trailer for The Labyrinth and if I had seen it before seeing the movie, which is entirely impossible because I'm pretty sure it came out the year I was born, I would never have seen it.




Another Sidenote: Aren't those little orange puppet creatures who lose their heads super flippin creepy? I always thought so as a kid and they really do freak me out... even now at the ripe ol' age of 29. Still freaky.  Also... creepy, those hands that catch her when she falls in the hole and then make faces. Way freakster! But those talking door handles? They are pretty amazing in a good way!


Ok. Thats all folks!

25 Days of Christmas - Day 10: Movies Home Alone

I realize I'm behind but yesterday was a busy day at Help Portrait and then we got some sad news from a close friend and I wasn't in the mood to be me and peppy. So here is what should have been yesterday's post. I'll catch up on the extra day later this week. :)

I've told you we have about a bajillion Christmas movies at our house, right? We have so many that hubs told me we were going to do a 12 days of Christmas movies, and we were still not going to have watched all of them. We also have a bajillion times 10 Christmas CDs but I'm not going to get started on those.

My Most favorite Christmas movie is Home Alone. Somehow we didn't own that movie. WHAT THE!?! I know, my thoughts exactly. I finally saw it at Best Buy for super cheap so we bought it, I wanted the Blu-Ray but they didn't have it.  I swear I can quote this movie word for word. Its almost as bad as when I quote The Labyrinth (my most favorite movie EVER). This morning I was having a conversation with Dave, I don't remember what I was saying and at the end of it Dave said "I bought the milk, eggs, and fabric softener", I totally had sounded like Kevin from Home Alone at the end. Apparently... I speak Kevin McCallister.

Oh and if you wanna know what it's about then you should go to the store and buy this right now. RIGHT NOW!!! I wont even give you a hint because you just need to own it. Don't be like me and not own it... until now.

25 Days of Christmas - Day 3: Movies and Mr Magoo

My dad, oh my dad... Growing up we had this VHS (you hear that kids a VHS) that my dad had recorded on the VCR (that one too kids) and we would watch it every Christmas more than a few times.  I never really enjoyed it, to be quite honest with you. I was a kid and I was super bratty and I didn't want to do what we did as a family... like watch the 7 different Christmas movies he had recorded onto that VHS. Fast forward to last year I was talking to my dad on the phone. I asked him to burn me a copy of that VHS onto a DVD and send it to me. I really missed those old Christmas movies that I had grown up loving! He said he wasn't sure if he would be able to because he didn't have a recorder. So I told him to send it to me since we had one. Well... a few days later I checked my mail and found a package in there from my dad. He had found a dvd set that basically had every movie from the VHS on it. Clearly someone knew I would have a need for this. So now I have this wonderful DVD set that I love watching. I make David sit with me so I can watch the best one of the whole set, Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol. How funny is it to see Mr. Magoo get into all those crazy situations, he's like the original Mr. Bean but in a cartoon. HA!  So this is the DVD set I have. Filled with lots of fun memories that I had as a kid. It makes me happy and sappy all at the same time. I won't lie to you internet, I cry almost everytime I watch this DVD.

P.S. Kids if you're reading this, enjoy your time as a kid watching dumb Christmas movies cause when you're almost 30 you will miss that time. FOR SURE!
