“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!” {Dr Seuss}

It's been a little boring around here in Kirchnanaland for these past few days.....it's that first of the year lull, I guess. Ü

But, thanks to my friends Netflix and Redbox, I do have some movie suggestions (these are probably old news, but thats how we roll):
*Eagle Eye (must see...Shia Labeouf, sigh...say no more.)
*Run, Fat Boy, Run (yes, the title may be deceiving, but Simon Pegg makes my side ache with laughter)
*Ghost Town (yet another British actor...yet another funny movie. I seriously need to check out the original Office now...Ricky Gervais is funny!)
*Hancock (Can't help it, loved it...I'm a Will Smith fan!)
*Wanted (not for the faint of heart, thus the rating...but the car chases are a-maz-ing)
*Apocalypto (yes, another rating not to be desired...but I just have to say...worth it, totally worth it)

In my Q and cannot wait to get:
*The Duchess
*The Women
*War, Inc
*The Secret Life of Bees
this list is so long it's embarassing. I am a movie fan thru and thru...there are so many cool movies out, too. I think I passed this on to my children....since Bella screams "BIG TV, BIG TV, BIG TV...I WANNA GO TO THE BIG TV" everytime we go to Chili's (the theater is right next door). We were there this past weekend and I looked up at the billboard announcing all the movies....Bedtime Stories, Marley and Me, Valkyrie, the Reader, Australia, Four Christmases, Twilight, Quantum of Solace....I was in movie heaven!! In the months before Bella was born, I think James and I went to the movies twice a week...sometimes three times....he's not as big of a fan as me, but he knew how to make his big ole pregnant wife happy Ü.

Anyways....

I haven't just been sitting around watching movies and eating BonBons...though there is nothing wrong with that. I've been trying to get a head start on cleaning up the mess that is my house...for Krista's visit! Only 9 more days!! WOOHOO.

I put together some headers for some family and friends: Jen, Krista, Ashley...and mine, of course...but after doing theirs, mine is definitely in change-mode. I love blogging and roaming blogs...and see all sorts of designs everywhere, makes me wish I had more talent! Ü

Crafting! Yes, I have been crafting, crafting...well...paper crafting. I'm gonna start making some frames for my wall and piano tonite.
I FINALLY got my grandparent's Christmas presents done! YES...Grams and PopPop...these are on their way to you tomorrow!

6 sides of pure goodness....When I go to Vegas in Februrary, my sis Lisa and I are throwing a baby shower for my other sis, Kari. I am SO HAPPY to be doing the invites, I came across this overall idea and its so dang cute! This is just a prototype...to send off for "approval"....but I'm in love ÜSo that's it for now...gotta go feed my starving family. Cook? Who me? Maybe if I put it off long enough, I'll get the old man to cave in to going to Little Mexico (best Mexican Restaurant in GP, if I do say so myself)....

Love the crafts, especially the overalls! I thought Run, Fat Boy Run was hilarious. Love my header, so cute. And, I can't wait to meet Miss Krista!!!

Jenny said...

Dude, I just love reading your hilarious posts. I MISS GOING TO THE MOVIES WITH SARAH!!! I never go anymore!! *sigh*

Krista said...

I cannot wait to get there!! Will you please write me and tell me what we are doing??? I'm dying to know and I haven't seen you online to talk to you!! And you are the most talented person I know Miss Sarah!! Thanks for always updating my header!! And those invites are adorable!

So I am insanely jealous of the little bits of free time that you find to accomplish all your handiwork. I remember once upon time when I still did scrapbooking. That was before the kid was in high school. Sigh.

love all those great things you have made! You are very talented and I'm a little jealous of how creative you are! Great stuff!

Kelli said...

You are very talented, Sarah. I love your stuff.
I have The WOmen at my house now and will watch it tonight. I also loved Hancock. It was so good!

I love the cube with all the pictures on it! You make lots of great stuff. And I have a lot of those same movies on my Netflix list. I can't seem to get to them all fast enough! I'm so excited for all the movies that are in theaters now to be available to rent. My section of saved movies on Netflix keeps getting bigger.

Your cube made me think that we should make a Kirchmann board game with our faces on the dice instead of numbers. Make it happen. Do it. Do it. Do it.

Apocalypto is one of my favorite movies ever. Never mess with a dude named Jaguar Paw.

oooh, a slight twinge of jealousy went through me when I saw the cute baby shower invites your making for Kari. :o) but its way exciting that you get to be a part of that!! and I'm way excited for you to be able to visit family soon... and I'm even more excited that I get to see you too!! yippee!!

Simply Sarah *K* said...

Laura! Believe me, I wanted to help throw you a shower and send out cutsie invites just like this...I wish I was closer!! Can't wait to see you guys. What about me putting together birth announcements for you?! I would LOVE to come up with something!!!

Simply Sarah *K* said...

And James, that gameboard idea is INGENIUS. We need to come up with a Kirchmann game...that would ROCK. Ya'll have so much dirt and stories on each other, I'm sure it would be interesting!!! We should take it to Cancun and surprise everyone!

we just have to figure out the premise. Whatever it is, rolling a James will be the best

Sarah, I know you did. :o) I don't doubt that one bit, so no worries. I wish we were all closer too.
