HOP..Movie Review

I mentioned earlier in the week that this past weekend I got the awesome opportunity to take my son to see a screening of the new movie HOP.

Movie was uber cute. Movie was about the plight of E.B., the bunny you see on the commercial ditching his destiny as the Easter Bunny and instead fleeing to Hollywood in hopes of becoming a well known drummer.

Russell Brand of “Bring Him to the Greek” fame was the voice of E.B. and I totally love his accent so that captivated my attention from the very beginning. The movie was indeed funny and I think the producers did a great job of blending in some appropriate adult humor to make the film enjoyable for both adults and children. Another plus, the movie was just long enough to complete the plot and ended just as the children started to get antsy.

Movie is in theaters April 1!

Ready.Set.Go

A few posts ago, matter of fact right here, I explained how finding out that I have high cholesterol sparked an interest in me to pick up running again.

I was wondering how I would fit running into my lifestyle. After putting off starting for nearly two weeks, yesterday I laced up my shoes, put on my head scarf, slipped in my ear buds and hit the pavement. I actually did alot better than I thought, considering it has been a while. I brisk walked, then ran and I alternated between the two for about 30 minutes

I was adventurous my first day out. I ran on the main street, not sure if that was a good idea seeing that I was about a mile from my house when I thought my scrawny legs wouldn’t get me back home.Oh but they did, thanks to the Trick Daddy blaring in my head phones #dontjudgeme. My heart was thumping, my throat was burning, but that “hood music” banging in my ear got me up that hill and back to the house.

Before heading out I started dinner and stressed to the Mr. the importance of not letting our dinner burn while I was out. Glad to know he can follow directions. I returned home to a nearly finished meal. I plan on trying out a few scenarios regarding the best time for me to run. More than likely it will be a combination of sorts dependent on all of the 1,476,893 factors that go into my daily routine..

So for now the plan is three times a week. I am following a 5K training plan. It is a total of 8 weeks and at the end I should be able to run 2 miles without stopping. I’m excited, and will keep you posted on my progress

Have I motivated you?! Will anybody else be joining me on this 8 week challenge?

Weekend

New Week..New Direction

*Blogged over at Mami 2 Mommy today. Make sure to stop by. Thanks to all of you who have been visiting  both places *

It’s Monday! How was your weekend?

Our weekend was busy, busy busy.

Friday night was a much needed date night. The Mr. and I headed over to the arena to watch the Hawks and the Heat play. The Mr. is an avid Miami Heat fan and the moment Lebron was moved to the Heat was the day he got the tickets. Game was great, not a basketball fan but seeing LeBron and Dwayne Wade made the night worthwhile. The Hawks got beat down, I was hoping they would as much as those tickets cost.

After the game we headed over to Silk for dinner and sushi with one of our favorite couples who also joined us at the game. Food was delish and then off to pick up the babies.

Saturday morning, Lil Man and I got an early start and headed out to see a pre-screening of the new movie Hop (I’ll review it later). Got a chance to see the lovely Shellie and the cutie pie stars of her blog H2 Whoa!, snacked on popcorn and drank soda (although I gave it up for lent). I enjoyed spending time alone with my son, I need to make that a priority now that Lil Mama is getting older.

Sunday, we headed out to a birthday party. There was a bounce house present. Enough said. Jumped himself silly. Love those parties where all of the besties are present in one place. Shot the breeze, caught up on everybody’s business and headed home after dragging him, kicking and screaming out of the bounce house.

*In other news*

In case you hadn’t noticed the expanded menu bar at the top. Its purpose stands to renovate my tiny “mommy” blog into a “mommy/lifestyle” blog. Don’t go unsubscribing. This will NEVER become a giveaway/review type blog. In an effort to branch out into the freelance writing world, I am looking to expand the type of writing that I do. You’ll see recipes, book reviews etc. Just something to expand the scope of this place a bit. It probably won’t be consistent knowing me…

What’s good in your world?!
