Slumdog Millionaire

2 thumbs up from me. If you haven't heard about this movie yet, go see it! There was a guy that passed Jeff and I as we were going into the theatre today saying "You'll love that movie. It's a great one." He was right on the money... GO SEE IT!

You don't need to know what it's about before you see it to appreciate it. Be pleasantly surprised.

The Black Dahlia

I would give this book 4.5 stars (out of 5). It was well written and I would recommend this book to all readers. The story line is a little twisted and not normally something I would pick up to read. I'm glad I dove in and made myself read it. I haven't seen the movie yet and have it on my queue of those to watch now.

7-1 now...

For those of you keeping track, Logan's team is now 7 and 1. They had a pretty interesting weekend of ball play. Friday night's game, our team only scored 9 points in the first half, then came out the second half to score 31 more. They won pretty easily once they started playing the game. The game Saturday morning was against a team that they had previous lost to (their only loss so far). The game was very neck-in-neck and very stressful as a mom in the stands. We were a very loud cheering section and the guys pulled off a win of 29-28. Both teams had a great defense going and they didn't let each other score very much. The other team was very sad that they lost, but now the teams are equal in their records. We do play them again- on our home court too. I'm excited to see how that one goes. (there are 16 games in the season, so we're halfway there...)

Bus Stop

Jeff threw his back out showing off for his basketball team the other day (you're not as young and agile as you used to be Jeff!), so Logan and I went out on a date last night to the Madison Rep play, "Bus Stop". We went to Takara for sushi first (gorged ourselves on delicious rolls), then off to the show. The show was great and pretty funny. We both fell in love with Virgil in the show. We had a blast and poor Jeff was laid up on the couch getting plenty of rest.

5-1 so far

Logan is at it again. He is playing basketball now and their team is doing very well! They have 5 wins under their belt and the guys are working great with each other now. They are a new team to each other and it took a little while for them to work together, but they are doing great now. They have 16 games in the regular season and then it's off to the playoffs if they place well enough. Currently, they are in first place with their wins. Each time they win, I make cookies for the team. I have been baking a lot lately. Speaking of which, I should go now- got a batch of them in the oven right now that need to come out.(yum!)
