Slumdog Millionaire
Benjamin Button
Marley and Me
Rachel Getting Married - I somehow missed this when it was in the theatres.
The Dark Knight - I know, I know - you can’t believe I haven’t seen it yet. I’m sure it’s an incredible movie, it’s just that disturbing movies are hard for me, and I’ve been debating if it’s worth it. I have finally decided that I will tolerate and deal with the disturbing, darkness of it and how it affects me, cause I think that it’s likely an incredible movie.
Seven Pounds

And just to through in a totally pointless fluff movie, that I’m sure only a female will find funny, Bride Wars.
I’m sure there are others, but off the top of my head, this is the list. Have you seen any of them? Were they good?
Christmas was great!
One of the best things about it was being able to spend so much time at my mom’s house, and not be overcome with cat allergies. Now I still had some issues, but it was so much better than it usually is. Thanks mom, for making the effort to de-cat hair your house for me. It worked!
So here is what I got:
I think that’s it, but I may have missed something. Mostly, I just enjoyed spending time with my family, both at my mom’s house, and the weekend before Christmas when my dad and Lynn were here. I really enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, going to dinner, playing games, and just hearing stories of what’s going on with each other.
One funny thing - even though I listed off several things that I got, I actually didn’t open very much. Apparently my mom was sorting everyones presents into boxes by person receiving them. Instead of a box, she just put all of my gifts in my organizer. My step-dad started helping with the wrapping, and after awhile asked her where the rest of my gifts were. She explained that she’d put them in the organizer, which come to find out, he’d already wrapped, so I just opened one thing, with everything else in it.
I hope your Christmas was glorious!
This year the words to O Come, O Come, Emmanuel have been sinking into my heart. What powerful words. Who of us hasn’t lived “who mourns in lonely exile here”, and who doesn’t want Christ to come, be with us, and pay our ransom.
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
So, by far the words/phrases searched for the most often to get to this blog are about being single and 30. Ever since I started writing more specifically about singleness back in September, my site traffic has gone up.
As a result, I’ve made 2 main changes to my blog:
Let me know what you think, and if there are any other things you think would be of value. I’d love to create even more community here.
BTW, the 2nd most searched for phrase is “starbucks senseo” which links here, and 3rd is “decorating with aluminum foil” which links here or here.
Check out this article on yahoo. It links to this value calculator that we made for Sprint. So if you ever wonder what I do all day, now you know.
