Waste of $10

Well there's 1.5 hours (actually less) of my life I am never getting back...yes I went to the movies. I saw...yes you guessed it...Mall Cop! Now this is NOT a movie I would normally go and see. I love funny movies, but I don't like stupid funny movies...and this movie definitely falls into the latter category.

You see, my roommate and her co-worker decided to sign up to be extras for the movie (it was shot at a mall near here), and they got to do it!! Cool right?? Well 15 hours at that mall "on set" one day, my roommate forced to wear some god awful poncho from Limited Too (yes the kids clothing store), and they weren't even seen in the movie!! Big Bummer! More of a bummer that we sat through it. I mean there were a few kind of funny parts but nothing that made me tear up crying...which I like :)

Anyways, this morning I had to go to this breakfast near my office that was an annual breakfast for the chamber of commerce in the area where I work...many local mayors and town managers spoke. It was good to hear, and I got to have like a full breakfast...fruit, a few potatoes, omelet bar, 2 slices of bacon, and a mini cheese danish...Damn you basket of pastries!! So obviously no pics there, but lunch was photogenic!

It is FREEZING here!!!! I think there was a high of 8 degrees today! 45 min north of me, people woke up to -20 degree weather! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Plus, my fiance is up in the White Mountain region of NH tonight for the weekend with friends...he's about 2.5/3 hours north of Boston and I can't even imagine how much colder it is up there!!!

The cure: SOUP!

Bowl of TJ's Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper soup, with added frozen veggies (corn, peas, green beans).Garnished with Bagel chip "croutons"

Slice of GH Dakota bread, toasted with cheddar cheese!Filling, Warming, and Delicious.

Well, tomorrow's weather isn't getting much warmer, so I think Hot Yoga will be Wonderful!! Especially since I can still use my week pass :)

TGIF!

  4. Oh my goodness! That movie looks horrible. I think it's hilarious your roommate was an extra. Sorry she didn't get her big break! Did she get to keep the Limited Too gear?

  13. Just ran across your blog :)

    Ha, I don't think I would like that movie either because I'm not much of a fan of stupid funny either ...

    I feel your pain with the cold! This past week we had right at zero and below zero for the actual temp throughout the night and earlier morning, let alone the wind chill ... but thankfully, today it warmed up to 40 and it felt nice!
