Sunday

Bears or Packers? Bears.
Steelers or Jets? Jets.
This is what we are doing tonight.

I finally watched the movie Catfish this weekend. You probably dont remember the preview (it came out mid-2010) but I totally wanted to see it because the preview made it look like a scary thriller movie. Then, I heard from a few different people that it was NOT a scary movie at all. I was intrigued still, but never went to see it--and it sort of fell of my radar. I never wikipedia'd the ending either (which I do all of the time for movies that I want to see even before I see them so I know what happens before I go in). I had read an article that said no matter what if you ever thought you might see the movie to NOT read what happens. So I didnt. I am SO glad I didnt read about it before we watched!! It was a good surprise of a movie that keeps you interested. Spoiler (sort of): it is a documentary. A REAL reality show. Worth watching. It is on demand, but you have to find it under movie genres, indie films, or something like that.

I watched the entire episode of I Used to Be Fat with the Mormon girl. Her Dad was sort of a jerk, right? I mean, he was so superficial and told his daughter that boys are attracted to a nice body and that she needed to lose weight if she ever expected to get married. But, um, Dad...she is only 18! She literally had graduated high school a week before the show! Give her some time! At least until 20, the prime age for marriage (wink, wink--that is how old I was when I got married!).

In addition to shows about obese people, I love prison shows (that shouldnt be surprising to you) so naturally I am loving the Beyond Scared Straight show. So far, my favorite piece of wisdom bestowed on the kids by prisoners is this:
"The Golden Rule of Prison: You didnt see what you saw, and you didnt hear what you heard."
This week there was a 13 year old kid--he was seriously so little--who cried when the prisoners yelled at him. He was so sad!

A few weeks ago we went to Chick Fil A at the mall a few miles outside of town (so worth it that we have to go at least once a month). This mall is particularly BUSY--like NO SPOTS available in the several parking lots. We stalked some people who were leaving, and patiently waited for them to get in their car and pull out. We are getting ready to pull in as soon as they are out, until a lady in a light blue lexus SUV (you know who you are) zoomed in to the spot we had been waiting for (and she CLEARLY had seen us waiting there and had made eye contact with us while we were waiting). We were like "no way, lady!" We pulled up behind her, and said, "Um,.. we know you saw us waiting there for this spot. We had been waiting for like 5 minutes." She plays dumb and says that she has a hair appointment and has to go inside. I say "Yeah, you probably should get something done about that hair!" and we find another spot. We then walk over to her salty, dusty car and write in the back windshield: " I steal things." It felt good.
