Exhausting but FUN Saturday

Have you ever felt that the weekend just isn't long enough. Yeah, I totally felt like that this Saturday. I had a lot of exciting things planned. I had to meet up with my "Man Servant" at noon. I was REALLY late because for some reason every road in Utah had some sort of construction going on. I worked out with my "Man Servant" it was seriously the hardest work out EVER!! We did squats and lunges and a crazy ab work out. (Yeah, I died) But for some reason I had a crazy idea the night before. I called Danielle and asked her if she wanted to do a "MOCK" triathlon. Danielle and I have wanted to do a triathlon ever since High school. But with our busy schedules we never had time for it. Now since she is back in town, we have decided to get our butts in gear and start training for one. So Friday night I called her and asked if she wanted to just do the "mock" triathlon on Saturday. Just to see our starting times. Can I just say I'm INSANE!! What the HELL was I thinking!! All I can say is I spent 3 hours at the gym on Saturday! lol Yeah, my butt still hurts. But in all honesty I'm so glad we did it! I now have times that I can improve on and I'm really excited to see the improvement in the next six months. Especially in my 3K, my time was 45:12. I'm just so glad I finished it lol. I know I can improve and that's where I'm going to really focus all my efforts on because I really suck at running. After I got done working out I called my best friend Sarah and confirmed our time to meet up. She had a work BBQ and invited me to go for a little girls night out. It was fun, great food, prizes, team mascots, FACE PAINTING!! I think that had to be my favorite part of the night. The lady was FREAKING AWESOME!!! Sarah and I took some pictures to show you how freaking awesome the face painting was. Here are some of the pictures we took:






We were laying on the big brown love sack trying to take some good pictures. We seriously couldn't stop laughing. It was a pretty fun!!

I have labeled this picture as "WHAT THE CRAP!" I knew Sarah was taking a picture. I don't know what I was thinking! Why wasn't I looking at the camera???!! I have no idea! I think I was trying to show off my face painting. That's the only explanation that I have for this picture. But this picture is so CLASSIC we laughed so hard. I'm still laughing at this picture.

NETFLIX

I decided that I should try out Netflix for the FREE 2 week trial. My good friend Anna does Netflix and she told me she likes it a lot. She also told me you could watch movies online as well. That got me really curious, because I can just hook my computer up to my flat screen and just watch in on my television like a regular movie. Which is pretty freaking AWESOME!!
So I'm HOOKED I don't know how I've lived with out Netflix for this long. I just go online and rate movies at work all day and queue movies to come to me. Its pretty wicked. I haven't gotten my first movie yet, I ordered "Crash" on Monday so I should be getting it today. I'm super excited. I've decided because I rate movies all day I'll give you a break down of what I've watched so far and why I've rated them the way I did. These are the movies I've watched instantly over Netflix.

Vanity Fair: I will have to give the movie 2 out of 5 stars. This movie is a big disappointment. The only reason why I'm even giving this movie 2 stars is because Reese Witherspoon is in it and the costumes that they wore are freaking awesome. The movie is about a witty governess trying to movie up in society. Not caring who she hurts in the process.
Something I find very comical about this movie is years pass but nobody but the kids get older. They all look the same at age 20 to their mid 40-50. Also the director put in an Indian flair to the movie. Which doesn't really make sense. The movie is very jumpy and confusing. I didn't like it at all.

Ron White "they call me tater salad": I will have to give this movie 5 out of 5 stars. I love this comedian he is so freaking funny. He has a sarcastic sense of humor that I love. There is a bit of swearing, but you can get the edited version. You have to watch this! I was laughing so hard.

One night with the king: I would have to give this movie 3 out of 5 stars. The only reason why I wanted to watch this movie is because by the picture it looked like it would have to do with the Egyptians. I was totally wrong!! Its about a Jewish girl that gets picked to be the wife of the king. You can really tell this was a low budget film. The acting was bearable, the script really needed some work. But the think that I found the most humorous was the kings make up. It seriously looked like he had a fight with the mascara. Plus he seriously used some fake tanning lotion. So over all it was ok, I don't think I'll ever watch this movie again.
North and South series; Last but certainly not the least. I give this a 6 out of 5 stars. This seriously is the best series/movie I have seen in my whole life. It leaves me speechless. The actors were perfect. The script perfect. The picture PERFECT. It reminds me of a Pride and Prejudice kind of thing. It seriously is such a good movie. I think guys could get into it too. Best romantic series and I loved it so much I bought the book to read. I've watched this FOUR hour series TWICE!!! I think I will have to watch it again, because I get something new out of it. Plus, I love empowering women stories. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch this movie. I want to share the love for this movie. If you can't find it, contact me and I will hook you up some how. Its that good!!!!
