Fun Facts Friday - The Non-Movie Buff

Fun Facts Friday - The Non-Movie Buff
Can I get a high five or a "hell yes" for Friday Rest Day?! Definitely ready for the rest day today. I don't think I could have cranked out one more mile, lifted one more weight, or done one more standing climb (spin class). Heck, abs seem like too much work ;-)

We don't really have anything special going on today. Just a typical Friday for us really. We're so exciting I know you're all jealous. Chances are we'll have Pizza Friday and maybe (but not likely) watch a movie. We did actually watch Phoebe in Wonderland last night. I really enjoyed that one.

...And this of course is my segue into Fun Facts Friday.

"...it's Friday; you ain't got no job... and you ain't got shit to do." Ok, so that's not totally true at all, but it's one of the few movie quotes I know (from Friday).

I am not really a movie buff at all. I almost never remember the names of movies, let alone quotes - unless it's from the 80's or 90's as Jason would interject. I almost envy people who can rattle off movie quotes. I sort of feel left out to be honest. How is it that I can't remember any movie lines?

Jason, however, really enjoys watching movies - though he's not a movie quoter either thankfully. I just have a hard time sitting still for that long. It really has to grab my attention or it just seems like such a waste of time. And maybe that's it, my mind is elsewhere so I miss out on fun lines and quips.

So, for Fun Facts Friday, I thought I'd list out the movies that I actually have seen more than once, that I can quote lines from even. They may not be the best movies, definitely not all classics either, but for whatever reason, I latched onto them. Which is really kind of funny considering how I typically feel about movies.
  • Pretty Woman - Slippery little suckers (snail scene at restaurant) or I've got a runner in my pantyhose...I'm not wearing any pantyhose.
  • Friday - see quote above of course.
  • Heathers - I'll forever know the word "myriad" because of this movie.
  • Funny Farm - seriously love the scene where she eats the last apple that she said didn't exist.
  • Reality Bites - Don't boggart the can...man...
  • Pirates of the Caribbean (1-3, love me some Johnny) - RUM
So, are you a repeat movie watcher? Are you a movie quoting guru? Or, what's some cheesy movie you'll admit to rewatching???

Daily To-Enjoy List
Friday is just one big "to-enjoy" isn't it?
  • Movie with hubby (watched Phoebe in Wonderland last night)
  • Rest day (definitely enjoying this)
  • Pizza Friday
  • Pool lounging time

Let's Have Coffee

By
If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

By
Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...

Jewelry and Overcoming the Fear of Failure

By
I guess I can blame this little hobby on Pinterest - jewelry making. More specifically, metal-stamped jewelry. Wasting time, skimming through Pinterest or seeing people posting pics of metal-stamped bracelets or necklaces, I thought, "hey, surely I can do that." So I started pinning ideas, looking up how-to videos, ordering the tools. Boxes of tools, gadgets and goods started arriving on the daily. I know my husband was really excited. Yep, I was going to do this! I felt like the child set free in a toy store. I didn't even know where to begin exactly. But I had some ideas. Lots and lots of ideas. I'm an idea girl as you'll soon learn. I set out my tools of the trade, all neat and tidy on my kitchen table ready to begin. Luckily, my husband who sits back and watches stepped in with some ideas on ways I could practice the stamping without using the more expensive washers and bars I'd so eagerly purchased. Smart man. What I didn't take into considerati...
