Movie Review Time!!

Here are some reviews! I know your super excited!

New Moon - I can't believe that I haven't reviewed or even talked about NEW MOON yet so here goes! It was the second book/movie in the Twilight series (in case you've been living under a rock LOL) and I LOVED it!!! My friend and I went to see it right after it came out and besides the fact that a tween totally spilled her popcorn on my friend and made us move because we couldn't stand listening to them talking the whole time. The film was so much better put together than Twilight - just goes to show you money does get you a lot! I can't wait until Eclipse comes out next year!

Hotel For Dogs - Placed in a foster home that doesn't allow pets, 16-year-old Andi (Emma Roberts) and her younger brother, Bruce (Jake T. Austin), turn an abandoned hotel into a home for their dog. Soon other strays arrive, and the hotel becomes a haven for every orphaned canine in town. But the kids have to do some quick thinking to keep the cops off their tails. It was pretty good I laughed quite a bit.

The Proposal - When she realizes that she's going to be deported a book editor pursaudes her assistant to marry her and trouble ensues. It was FREAKING FUNNY AS CRAP!!!! DZ and I could stop laughing. If you haven't seen it then well you should.

GI Joe: The Rise of the Cobra - The elite GI Joe team set off on a mission to stop the evil arms dealer Destro. This movie wasn't too bad I mean there were TONS of action scenes and the acting was pretty good but there were some seriously cheesey lines and I'm sorry but the lead Channing Tatum just drives me nuts and not in the good way. It was worth seeing but not buying IMO.

The Ultimate Gift - A young man recieves a series of "gifts" from his grandfather that he must complete in order to receive his inheritence. This was a really good movie and I totally would encourage everyone to see it.

Blast from the recent neglected past

Here are some pictures that I took of the monster but didn't get posted. More to come later!

This is Aunt Mel, Zilla and his cousins - We sure have some handsome boys in the family!

This is my AWESOME brother (well one of them) with his son and Zilla - they were looking at his iPhone

This is Zilla climbing up a wall with another AWESOME brother - Zilla climbed up that whole thing with NO help!!

This is Zilla, Ev and Grandpa playing soccer outside of my brothers going away party

This is Zilla and my nephew - my brother and I must have played keep away with them and that balloon FOREVER - it was sooooooo fun and they had a blast!

Wii is making me laugh

Right this very minute I'm watching Zilla watch DZ play the new Mario Brothers game on the wii and I'm just freaking cracking up. Zilla is repeating some of the sounds (he's currently into that parrot stage - yeah it's awesome) and gasping whenever DZ dies (which is totally a lot). Zilla has also been giving my husband directions like "watch out" and "go that way" but sadly either his 3 year skills are lacking or the 30 year old's skills are cause he keeps dying! Watching Zilla's face is about to have me peeing in my pants it's so funny.

I know, I know

I wish I could come up with a good excuse as to why I've been slacking off but well yeah I can't I've just been extremely lazy. I mean there has been some serious craziness going in with me but for the most part I can't say thats any real reason. Oh well I'm going to attempt to get my head back in the game because I honestly miss writing my posts.

DZ had planned to take Zilla down to visit the in-laws for the weekend so I was going to have two whole days of kid-free-ness but my plans went down the drain because DZ woke up sick - blah. So now me and the boy are hanging out watching tv (him) and reading (me). Maybe DZ will feel better soon cause he seriously owes me! lol

Six Word Saturday

So much for my kidless weekend

Goodbye

My grandpa passed away yesterday. He had been sick for quite some time and luckily Zilla and I were able to drive down and see him in the Hospice House the night before he passed away. He lived a long life and has tons of people that will always remember him - he was a great man and will be sorely missed.

Six Word Saturday

Yay I'm gonna start doing this

I know excuses are like a-holes

Well I certainly have one for not blogging in forever. Um here it is.... life actually! I was wrapped up in school which sucked by the way and then home has been crazy. Hey I didn't say they were good excuses!
On a much less pleasant note my Grandpa, who has been dealing with cancer for a while now, is not doing so well at the moment. Hospice is involved and he's currently in the hospital because he had a mini-stroke and his blood pressure was crazy high. So needless to say it's pretty much a waiting game at this point and even typing that has me crying. The last time I saw him he looked so much different and hardly looked like my grandpa anymore. He is in so much pain right now and that’s just so wrong I mean after raising my dad and his siblings he doesn't deserve any more pain - sorry guys but you know what I mean! lol

On a crazier better note I may be getting married again. Wait DZ I can't explain! I was supposed to be being a good friend and watching my best friend’s kiddos aka my "other kids" children today for her because she had an early meeting at work. Well I set my alarm like a good girl and I'm not sure if the blasted thing is broke from non-use or my child just turned down the volume but either way I totally didn't wake up when I should have. Well she went ahead and left so she wouldn't be late and her older son (don't call CPS he's old enough to be here for the 8 minutes alone) let me in. Well because she is the BEST she text me that there was coffee for me -um she doesn't drink coffee- so I did the only thing I could do- I text her back that I love her and asked her to marry me - duh. Then I thought about it and had to text her back that I hated my alarm clock because I would have rather proposed properly I mean doing it via text is not really romantic. right? Anyway she hasn't said yes (actually she text back that I was crazy - wonder who clued her in) but I can be pretty persuasive when I want to be. LMAO

Hannah Montana and Lady Gaga..what?

Wow does Zilla have some eclectic music taste! He seriously LOVES to dance and sing songs so I have a playlist on my puter for him and it currently holds: Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas, Let's Get Crazy by Hannah Montana, She's Country by Jason Aldean and Poker Face by Lady Gaga! Who would think that he could go from Hannah Montana to country music and then back around to Lady Gaga! He LOVES them and practically begs me to play "crazy" and "country" over and over and over and over all day long! He knows all the words to Lets Get Crazy and the majority of them to She's Country and Poker Face. I really need to get him on video when he is singing and dancing to these things - to Poker Face he sways his hips and runs in circles dancing it's freaking hilarious. I promise to try and capture it on video for you all soon!

Oh my classes are over for the moment so hopefully I can manage to get on here more often!

Fitting Shirt for the Blog

I have been looking online with my bestest buddy for some cool Twilight shirts to get and wear to the premire of the New Moon Movie (yep we are letting our inner tweens take over but I'm okay with that) and I found one that I might have to get just becuase it flows with the blog. What do you all think?


Obviously if you haven't read Twilight you might not get it but thats okay with me too LOL.

Bad Boys Bad Boys

Very early this morning DaddyZilla and myself were woken out of our peaceful slumber to the lovely sounds of domestic violence coming from next door. Our neighbors in all of their redneck glory decided to get drunk and scream at each other in their driveway at 2:30am. DZ and I became alarmed because well they were being awfully loud and it didn't sound like a "small" fight not to mention that she is pregnant and he was throwing things around in their garage so we did the smart thing and called the popo on them. We may live in Podunk but they don't play here when it comes to that stuff so within a few minutes two police cars showed up and in true cops fashion both of our neighbors went running towards the car trying to tell the cops their version of the 'truth' first (he was shirtless and she's pregnant so it really looked like a cops episode). I'm not really sure if anyone got 'taken in' because the cops were there forever and I eventually went back to sleep but it sure was entertaining.

Fries, Jellyfish and Hannah Montana

Those are all things my son decided to obsess about today. He has had me play Hannah Montana's song 'Let's Get Crazy' about 15 times now and he's singing and dancing to it and I'm cracking up over here. He's also been bugging me about having some jellyfish aka grape jelly LOL and fries aka tortilla chips - he's a strange kid.

Hell Yeah He Did It!!!!!!!!!

ZILLA WENT POOP IN THE POTTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He just came into the office and told me "mama wipe the butt" and when I went out to get wipes I found a full blow poop sitting in his potty which meant that not only did he have a real poop with no help he also realized he needed to go and sat on the potty to do it!! This is such a HUGE thing in our house not only because of the normal potty training thing but also because Zilla has been having poop issues for almost the last year that made it so he needed some kind of help to "go". Sorry if that was TMI but well I'm just too damn happy to care!! Hopefully he keeps this up but now I just need to figure out how to convince he to actually tell  me when he has to go so I can put some clothes on the boy! Oh happy day in the Zilla Household!!!!!!!!!!

Search Engines are SO odd

I was doing an image search for an idea I had for Zilla's halloween costume and I came up with some odd results. I searched for a pic of a favorite 80's toy (nope not gonna tell you which one before hand - I want you all to see it once I get it together!) that was totally innocent so that I could figure out what I need for the costume. Well on the FIRST page of the results for this toy I saw a nice image of a women/girl dressed in a red raggedy ann type wig painting with a paint brush nipples onto a blow up "friend" which was also wearing a raggedy ann wig.

Who on God's green earth decides the order in which these things come up in a search. I mean I know there wasn't any technically adult content but it was just wierd. Thought I'd share with you all!!

My kid the...Dog? What?!?

Zilla has all the sudden for no apparent reason decided that he's going to start "marking his territory" just like a dog. Today he has literally lifted up his leg then randomly pee on stuff!!!! Whats up with that?

School and some Funny Reads

Okay so I've started my classes and I've just got to say that school is sucky great. I'm taking an accounting class that isn't too bad but I can't say that say for pos class because it's Taxes for Individuals and it makes me want to poke myself in the eye with my pen! I mean I knew going into it that all of my classes would be boring because well lets face it Accounting doesn't exactly scream excitment but dang I never thought I would literally want to burn a book - the only reason I haven't is because well that book was freaking expensive. Anyway I've been busy with that and trying to do stimulating things that will keep my brain from revolting.

Speaking of keeping my brain from crying here are a couple FanFics for you all since I know that everyone aka Anna will enjoy them! They are parodys of the Twilight series so seriously even if you didn't like the books these will crack you up! I almost cried from laughing so hard.
Renegade Characters - Book One
Glitter of Doom - Book Two
Triangle of Shippiness - Book Three
Uterus of Steel - Book Four

I'll Never Talk to My Mom Again

Well thats how it will be if Zilla has anything to do with it. He has been obsessivly talking to Nanna on the phone for a couple days. In the (recent) past when asked to talk to someone on the phone he had a VERY short attention span and would easily get distracted and run off. That was the past though because for the last couple days I called Nanna and asked if he wanted to talk and that little monster ran off with the phone and wouldn't let me talk to my mom at all. The first night he talked to her for 45 minutes! Thats like a year for a toddler! Then last night he got out the step stool, drug it to the phone and brought the cordless phone and said "me call mena" - for some unknown reason he calls Nanna mena. I've had to literally take the phone away from him!

** on a side note I wanted to let anyone who was wondering that the dermatologists called and my spots that I had cut off came back just fine. I'm happy to say the least.

I got Cut

Yesterday I went to my very first dermatologist appointment to have a couple places looked at. I've got some serious family history in regards to skin cancer so when I noticed that one of my freckles had changed I set up an appointment. The awesomemess that is my insurance {insert serious eye rolling} decided to refer me to a place about 40 miles away but when I called they told me that they "moved" and gave me a new address. When I googled the address that the lady gave me it was not 40 miles away but rather over 100!! Yep I had to drive 2 freaking hours to go this place. Luckily for me my follow up appointments can be done at the closer office.

Anyway once I got back there they cut off one mole just cause it irritated me and then the not good looking freakle so that it can be sent to the lab. Wow the one on my back HURT like seriously last night I had to take a Tylenol with Codine in order to not cry! So now I just have to let them heal and wait for the results on the freaky changing freckle. Hopefully it's nothing cause I'd hate to think how much it would hurt if they needed to take more off! It was in interesting experience and it really helped me remember why we should all wear sunscreen!

Following Daddy

Nanna found this super cool Chinook lighter thing and gave it to us hoping that DZ would love it since thats what he works/flys on but who would have guessed that Zilla would fall in love with it? Well Zilla decided that he couldn't get enough of the "cool helicopter" and played with it until he eventually broke and mangled it beyond repair! Seriously he broke off the wheels and bent all the blades so maybe he won't be following in daddys footsteps afterall since he didn't fix it but oh well we're just happy he has good taste in helicopters!!
Here he is playing on one of his "missions" in the kitchen:

Messes can be fun

Well for zilla they can be at least. I swear I am about 2 clean ups away from pulling all my hair out!! The kid just totally loves making me do "house wife" stuff I think. Maybe him and DZ had a secret talk about making me get off my butt and getting busy and that's why he's doing all of this. Everyday it looks like a small disaster happened in my house. This morning I woke up to find that not only is every toy he owns on his bedroom floor he also turned over his tool bench but he also flipped over his art easel!!! Here are a couple pics of some recent "fun" he's had:
