Rottentomatoes.com has come out with the Worst of the Worst 2009 list. This is a list of the top 100 worst movies of the last ten years. I have listed below the movies I’ve seen from the list
#94 – The New Guy (2002)
Yes I agree this was an awful movie. It’s the same old teen cliché of the teen turn popular
#90 – Dragonfly (2002)
I liked this movie. Granted it was a little unbelievable but I liked it (didn’t love it)
#72 – Broken Bridges (2006)
I didn’t watch the entire movie. I tried but couldn’t get into it. I thought I would like it because I do like Toby Keith and Kelly Preston but it was to predictable and the acting was not the greatest either.
#19 – Half Past Dead (2002)
Horrible movie. I’ve never been a big fan of Seagal movies anyway
So that isn’t bad. I’ve only seen 3.5 horrible movies of the past 10 years. AND I like one of them.
I bet my husband has seen (and liked) most of the movies on the list. He likes the stupidest movies. I on the other hand am pretty picky about what I watch. I don’t want to waste 2+ hours of my life watching a crappy movie.

Getting back on track
I’ve been a busy girl! Roo and I drove to Maine on the 16th, my niece turned 2 yesterday and we went up to celebrate her birthday with her. My sis had a party at her house on Saturday and it was great to have all the kids together. I had to drive up because I had so much stuff to bring to her. She got two bikes, a box of toys and three boxes of clothes all from Roo. I will post some pics of the girls when I pull them off my camera
Now I’m home trying to get back into the routine of things. We didn’t get home till Monday night so I ate, took a shower and hit my bed. I love my bed! Yesterday I had to work and by the end of the day I thought I was going to pass out. I went home and made dinner and went to bed when Roo did. Tonight I’m hoping to hit the gym and get back on track.
Yesterday was the first official day of autumn and today there are only 100 days of 2009 left. Time for some goal setting…I’ve gained all the weight I loss back and I can’t fit into any of my clothes. Now that summer is over I’m reassessing my goals and starting my diet/exercise program with new hopes. I didn’t really stop working out but I’ve been eating like a pig and I need to be hitting the gym at least 4x a week. AND be doing my Wii Fit/elliptical at home too.
I also am going on a budget. We spend way too much money and if I want to go back to school full time in January I need to get us on a budget. If I’m spending my time at the gym then I shouldn’t be spending money; right?
So here’s to the rest of 2009! I can’t believe there is only 100 days left this year.

Never Forget
It’s been 8 years. Wow; it’s hard to believe. I some ways I feels like yesterday and in others it seems a lifetime ago. Most people in the military around my age joined after the horrific events of September 11th 2001. I was active duty Air Force at the time and it was a much different military then. I was in during the USS Cole bombing and I talk to some who don’t even know what the Cole bombing is (if you don’t you should read this).
You’ll probably learn more about me personally in this post that you have in any others. I graduated high school a year early and joined the Air Force at 17. After basic training and tech school (where I graduated as the distinguished honor graduate) I was stationed at Langley AFB VA. I met Hubby not long after I moved here but we where just friends. I loved it! I loved my job; I was assigned to headquarters just out of tech school which is unheard of. I even loved my boss and most of the people that I worked with. I had it good, I didn’t deploy, I didn’t even have to play in the exercise on base. I wore my blues to work everyday and was grateful!
Hubby had a different life in the Air Force; he works maintenance. This means he goes where the jets go. Back then they use to do 90 day deployments to Saudi Arabia. Oh they would bitch and moan because it was hot and they couldn’t drink but the bases where built up and had chow halls, dorms, pools and community centers. Yeah they worked hard over there but it wasn’t ‘that bad’ Hubby’s squadron returned from the deployment from Saudi on September 9th 2001.
When the 2nd plane hit I remember thanking God they where home. Then the chaos happen, the phone lines where jammed everywhere, the gates to the bases where closed. No one could get on or off. We went to a 24/7 operation. Finally they started letting people off but only authorized personal could get back in.
I lived on base in the dorms at this time so I told everyone I’d stay. I worked 23.5 hours that day. My family was in panic because they couldn’t get through to me. Life changed. Things didn’t happen as quickly as I thought they would but no more blues to work, we now all wore our BDU’s (battle dress uniforms). Stop loss was put into effect which meant Hubby couldn’t separate from the Air Force as he had previously planned. Before 9/11 if you had stickers on your car you where waved through the gates. Now they stopped each car and search most. We all waited.
In October my mother flew down to see me and we had planned a Washington DC trip. Neither of us had been and it’d been in the works for months. She was practically striped searched in the air port and had to be there 3 hours in advanced to get from Maine to Virginia! Everyone said we where crazy but we went to DC as planned. I saw the enormous hole in the Pentagon. The streets where all blocked and you couldn’t drive anywhere near the Whitehouse or monuments. We had a wonderful time, we walked everywhere and saw everything, we went on living our lives as we deserved to.
We didn’t deploy troops to Iraq until March of 2003 and we’re still there today. This isn’t a political blog so I won’t go into my views on the war or the decisions made by people who are unaffected by the choices they make for our military but I will say that day changed my life. Hubby and I wouldn’t not be married today if he had not been ‘forced’ to extend his enlistment, after all was said and one he made the choice to stay and just hit 11 ½ years of service. I separated from the Air Force in September of 2005 because we decided we wanted to have a baby. One of us needed to be able to stay home with her if the other was deployed so I gave up my Air Force career and put in for a pregnancy separation. Do I regret it? No. Do I miss the military? Sometimes
I’m sure September 11th is going to be one of those times you will always remember where you where and what you where doing. Regardless of your stand on the political issues; today is a time to remember those who lost their lives and pray for all our military heroes.

How'd you get here
I've never done one of these and thought it might be fun.
These are the following searches that got people to my wonderful blog:
bodypump boston (x2) - I know I've blogged about body pump because it's AWESOME. I 'm not sure how Boston worked its way in there, but I love Boston too; so I'll take it.
why did I ever want kids... - ahh; from when Roo cut her hair
revlon runway collection - huh? There is never anything about Revlon or a runway in my blog. I only use Bare Minerals makeup (it's the best)
body pump fuck - wow that body pump sure gets some hits
vacation "no bra" - forget your bra one time!
BTW, now that I looked at that I know there are people jumping on here all the time but no one ever comments me :(

Her new haircut
Looking back I guess that the haircutting incident wasn't 'that' bad. She only snipped one piece of hair and she didn't cut it to her scalp...so all and all it could have been much worse.
I took her last night to get her hair fixed and this is the final product:
I have to be honest. I don't love it and I'm kinda pissed that I can't just pull her hair back and be done with it. See Roo has crazy hair like her mama and cow licks, bangs don't really work well for me. I have to wet and blow dry her bangs now before leaving the house. It's not only the extra work but I just love her hair before.
Hubby has been trying to talk me into cutting her hair up to her shoulder for a while now but Roo and I are against any talk of this. See she likes her hair to be long (like Ariel's) Roo doesn't even look like Roo anymore. I know she's still cute and beautiful and perfect but I'm having a hard time with his. I shouldn't have done it - I should have just left if alone and let what she cut grow out...

Kids...why did I ever want kids...
Disclaimer: I am usually a very good mom. I'm fairly patient, we do fun things all the time, she has her own room, her own playroom, her own fish. You get the point.
One thing I never did with Roo was put up her arts and crafts. She's had play dough, crayons, markers - everything available to her when she wanted it. Roo knows the rules and knows that if she breaks them I will throw all her arts and crafts supplies in the trash. Needless to say I do not have craft mishaps in my house.
After our trip to Alaska where Grandma gave Roo her fist pair of scissors she has been obsessed with cutting paper. Roo know the rules - you only cut paper and only at the table. No walking/running with the scissors and put them back when you're done. She's had them for a couple months now and the other night she was cutting some pink felt that I got for her. Apparently she was having trouble cutting the felt and thought that cutting her hair would be a good idea!
NOW - my little Roo has beautiful long brown curly hair that is just has unruly as her moms so I didn't know about the hair cutting. We go to bed and get up the next morning. I'm looking at her hair and I'm thinking WTF? Why does she have bangs. I grab her and sure as shit her hair is cut.
I just about lost my mind. I asked her if she cut her hair and she lies and says no. Well now I'm really pissed. Finally she admits that she cut it but won't really talk about it. She goes to school after I hide it the best I can and when I pick her up I get the whole story out of her. I was mad that she lied and made her go home and tell Hubby the truth about the hair cutting. She was not happy about this and said she was too scared to tell. But she did as she was told.
Punishment: NO scissors, no arts and crafts and the possibility of no Bush Garden's this weekend.
When I told Hubby, Sis and Mom about this happening they all laughed at me. I don't think it's funny. Not one bit. I'm going to take her in tonight to see if the stylist and help blend it. She cut about an inch thick and two inches long...
I may possibly post pics if and when I ever get over my anger.

Weekend recap and school stuff
Friday after work I met Hubby and Roo out for dinner. After dinner Hubby went to go play with this friends and Roo and I headed to get her a fish. She picked out a pretty purple and pink beta fish and her name is Alice. First we where going to get a boy gold fish named Timmy but when she saw Alice she decided that she NEEDED a girl fish. We picked the name and then it was Alex for a couple minutes but before going to bed Friday night her name was Alice yet again.
Roo has her setup in her room in a cute little tank (that already needs cleaning). She’s a proud little mommy to her fish and feeds her every morning.
Saturday Roo and I hung out around the house and Saturday night Hubby and I went out to a comedy club to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It was a good time but I stayed out to late and so I was tired on Sunday.
On to school news; I applied last week and promptly got an email stating that I f-ed up the in state tuition part and that they needed a copy of Hubbys military orders, a local utility bill with my name on it, a copy of my dependent ID card and this other form. I got all this crap together this weekend and emailed it over to the school, hopefully that will be all I have to do and I will get approved for instate tuition. I would really hate to have to change my driver’s license to Virginia (I like have my Alaska driver’s license…people look at me funny when I have to show it)
After I get approved I have to figure out a schedule and enroll in classes, then the VA will process my G.I. Bill. I have over 4 months till I’m due to start but I just want to get all my ducks in a row. I haven’t mentioned to my boss that I plan on going back to school. I want to be sure I get in and everything’s all set before I cross that bridge.
Monday is Hubby’s birthday and we’ll be spending most of the weekend in Virginia Beach at the American Music Festival. Boyz 2 Men are playing Friday night and I am way to excited about that. Heart and Black Crows will also be there. There are a ton of bands but those are the big names. So I’m sure I’ll have much more to talk about next week.
