Wordful Wednesday: Sneak Peek

I'm taking advantage of my hiatus to get some designs out of the way I have been meaning to do. So, without further ado, I'm posting today to tell you that there is a FACEBOOK ONLY sneak peek of just ONE of my latest creations on Genie Girl Graphics Facebook page. All you have to do to see it is "like" the Genie Girl. That's it.

What?!? Welll, if you are gonna twist my arm...

Here's a teaser........

So, see you there? Or maybe over at one of these awesome blogs?

Wordful Wednesday: Almost Forever

About a month ago, I posted an Almost Wordless Wednesday about Finding Forever. We decided to hold off on buying for another few years when we found this instead:

This is the perfect almost forever home. It has NO carpets, a huge fenced in backyard, 4 bedrooms, 2 story deck, all modern appliances, and YES that is a jacuzzi tub you see in the bathroom. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

And just to give you a teaser on some of the guest posters who will be entertaining you whilst I move....

Wordful Wednesday: Just Go with It

Just Go with It

Starring: Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Brooklyn Decker, Nicole Kidman, Dave Matthews, Bailee Madison, and Griffin Gluck with appearances from many of his usual crew

Every review I have read about this movie has been negative. It's not funny. The jokes fall flat. Aniston saves the movie. The screenplay is shabby. Sandler is too old and not the kind of guy a young girl would date. Decker and Sandler have no chemistry.

Despite all the horrible reviews, GC and I went to see this last night. And let me tell you! We laughed out loud throughout the whole movie. We are both huge Sandler fans and were not disappointed at all. And take it from me, as a deaf girl, any movie that can make me laugh in the theater is a funny movie, since I don't hear most of what is being said anyway. The kids in the movie make it especially funny, especially the boy, Griffin Gluck. He does the perfect pout to take the most advantage of Danny, Sandler's character, and even manages to convince him to take them all to Hawaii so he can swim with the dolphins.

Sandler's character starts off as someone you wouldn't like; a player using his wedding ring to pick up chicks. He's only honest with one woman, his assistant, Jennifer Aniston. The lies weaved throughout this story by both Aniston and Sandler keep the hilarity going. I especially enjoyed seeing this light funny side of Nicole Kidman, who shines as a sidekick as much as she does a leading lady.

It's a typical Sandler romance, but I'm okay with that. I love the way you watch the romance develop and there's just one part, when Aniston and Sandler have dinner with Matthews and Kidman, that makes the whole movie worth watching.

We give this movie 4 thumbs up. It is probably the funniest movie I have seen in a while. Way to go Sandler. Aniston was the most beautiful star in the movie, if you asked me too.

Wordful Wednesday: The Countdown Continues

Yeah, you read that right--wordful, the opposite of wordless, and really it's only because today is Thanksgiving Eve and I have so much to be thankful for, it would probably take 3 years of straight thankful posting to cover it all.

So, without further ado, let's move on to my #2 reason for thankfulness this year.

#2: I'm thankful that I have a family....

• I have been very blessed to have the opportunity to experience motherhood with all of its quirks...

the angry outbursts of a prepubescent tweenager, the insistent poop-smearing-on-the wall preschooler...the nonstop calls of "Mommy" from wake up to goodnight...the constant never stay clean for longer than 2 minutes (if I'm lucky) house...the intense sibling rivalry fun that never stops...

There are good days and bad days...days when I'm singing with happiness and days when I'm growling in frustration...but no matter what kind of day I have, this:

makes motherhood worth all the sweat and tears, the sacrifice and the joy.

• I've been very blessed to have a partner for life, one that is dedicated to me, the family we have built together, and the dreams I hold for my future...

one who works hard so I don't have to...I get to enjoy every moment with my children...a dream I never thought could happen...my knight in shining armor...a great father...

but best of all? He's also my best friend.

To my Good Lord,

I thank you for giving me the life that you have, blessing me with my children, and sending me such a loving man who accepts me and loves me despite all my faults, imperfections, and short-comings, or maybe because of them.

Love, The Drama Mama

• I'm blessed that I have such a wonderful family, who hasn't disowned me yet. I'm lucky to have such a kind and caring mother, a talented caring brother, and a man who didn't have to be as my dad. There's also a couple of future sister-in-laws involved in there, and of course, the twins. There's extensions of family, friends I have known so long they are considered family, and for all of this, all of the blessings I have been given, I am thankful.

P.S. I am also thankful for my readers, all those who comment, and those who don't. I am blessed to have so many who are interested in my life and care about me and mine.  Tomorrow will be busy, so I wanted to make sure y'all got a chance to see it.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
