People Like Us in theaters today!

 In a story inspired by true events, Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, is tasked with fulfilling his estranged father’s last wishes—delivering an inheritance to a sister he never knew he had.

Cast:                            Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde, Michael Hall D’Addario, Philip Baker Hall, Mark Duplass and Michelle Pfeiffer     

From DreamWorks Pictures comes “People Like Us,” a drama/comedy about family, inspired by true events, starring Chris Pine (“Star Trek”) as Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, whose latest deal collapses on the day he learns that his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home, where he must put his father's estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. In the course of fulfilling his father's last wishes, Sam uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down: He has a 30-year-old sister Frankie whom he never knew about (Elizabeth Banks). As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about his family—and re-examine his own life choices in the process.

What can I tell you?  I love Michelle Pfeiffer in any movie she does, and this sounds like a real life drama/comedy that could possibly happen.  I didn't read that it did so I can't tell you that, but I for one am definitely going to see this one.  Anyone game?  Have a great day!

Weight Be Gone! One Woman's journey back to good health!

Hi Everyone!  This is my Weight Be Gone Thursday for me.  If you'd like to follow me in my journey you are welcome.  If you'd like to share your own journey feel free to sign my linky below, and I'll come visit you or if you have a great diet recipe that would be appreciated very much. Thank you.  The reason I've started my journey is I had a rude awakening to the reality of life in that I'm not getting any younger, and if I still wanted to lead a fun, and  happy life I had to make  some serious changes. 

Okay, sad news here.  Due to the heat I'm containing water big time, and tomorrow it's supposed to be in the three digits, and this mama is staying home with her feet up.  I'll be blogging from our front-room  sitting in my recliner.  Oh well, ya gotta do what you gotta do.  I went to the Dermatologist yesterday for my legs.  It's definitely diagnosed that I have cellulitis, and I have to start wearing these dumb sucks socks.  No more flip flops.  So sad.  I love my flip flops.  She said if I didn't I would get ulcers and my skin would start weeping and I could lose a foot.  Tell me more good news!  Sheesh!  Forget that crap! Mama likes to dance!  Gonna have to do some serious dieting here.  I'll start losing when I can exercise.  My shots have worn off back to a cane and walker, and July 11th I'll be back to normal for another 2 months.  Soon as these practicing physicians turn into to doctors and stop practicing I can get it together!  IS THERE A FREAKING DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?

Okay, I weighed in at 253 and I'm saying 10lbs of it is probably water weight the way my feet and legs look so hopefully by staying in the air things will go back down.  I just can't go outside any time soon.  I hate me!  Okay, I had my mammogram, and all those other girly test and I'm healthy as a horse I'm told.  YEAH RIGHT!  Wish my girls would tell the rest of my body how to be healthy.  I've been thinking on looking up Dr. Oz's website.  Anyone ever do that?  Well, I'm going to and next week I'll tell you if I found anything out.  Have a great week everyone and as usual if you have any cool recipes let me have some or if you want to share your own healthy/diet adventure sign my linky so we can share!  Hugsssss to all!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!  DON'T FORGET TO ENTER IN MY GIVE-AWAYS!

Have a great day everyone!

This past week has really been stressful for me this week, so give me a minute here, and I'll come up with something.  Okay how about this?

This is my old boss and  his wife.  He use to own Fred B. Raskin and Associates, and I was his legal assistant.  We still communicate via e-mail and cards (snail mail), and he retired, and they moved to Arkansas.  She still plays golf and is quite good at it, and Fred still plays tennis and is also very good at it.  She does her painting and stained glass, and he goes fishing.  Such a life.  I love these guys.  He was so much fun to work for, and I learned so much.  Love and miss you guys very much.  They use to call him, "Freddie the Rose" because he never lost a case.
