Hands down, Trekkie or not...

Star Trek ROCKS!

First off, I'm not an official Trekkie/Trekkor, but the new Star Trek movie is SO good that it just about brought me to tears, saluting the screen with the Live Long & Prosper sign and giving a standing ovation. Mark & I talked about it all weekend and can hardly wait until it comes out on DVD.

(hey hon, are the Klingon's coming over for dinner?)

Yes, I watched the original series. I wasn't glued to it or HAD to watch it, but I watched it all the same. Can't say I liked ALL the Star Trek series after the original one, except the series with Jean-Luc Picard. He was so very cool, plus I love saying his name... so romantic.

Really... I'm not a Trekkie (hides costumes).

The new Star Trek crew is amazing! Not only was the movie well written and thought out, but the actors were dead on with the original characters. From Bone's "Dammit Jim..." to Spock's eyebrow raise to Kirk's mannerisms, etc..

"Beam me up Scotty."

I also liked how they matched the younger crew to look like how the original would look like at a young age. Another excellent move. They obviously studied their characters. Oh and the special effects were awesome as well

(hon, have you seen my communicator!)

This movie more than surpassed our expectations. Mark & I knew it was going to be good, but we had NO idea it would be THAT good. We both agree that we recommend this movie to anyone who loves to be entertained by a well rounded movie. No, you don't have to be a Trekkie or even close to it.

"Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before."

Live long & propser,

The WHOLE enchilada!

Unlike my wood carved buddy above, this squirrel has worked herself to the bone this week. Scratch that. Past few weeks. Scratch that one too. Past... I'll stop.

Anyway, I'm taking the entire weekend off. That's right. The whole shebang. The WHOLE enchilada... mmmmm, enchilada (wheat/dairy free of course). I've been working well into the evenings just so I can have this ENTIRE weekend off. What will I be doing?

Saturday:
- enjoy a long relaxing morning with my honey & 4 legged kids, sipping on coffee
- yard work. What, you ask? WORK? This is not work - we love to be out in the beautiful Arizona weather and yes, we truly enjoy yard work
- more relaxing and meditating

Sunday:

Mmmm. Liam Neeson. Fabulous actor. Nice person (from what I've read). Great to look at, er, scratch that. I mean watch. No, not as in stalking, as in watching the movie Taken. Mark & I are going to the movies on Sunday afternoon and then have an early dinner. That's right. NO cooking for me this weekend. Like I said... the ENTIRE weekend off. The whole...

Mmmm. Enchilada.

Peace,
Rocki

Tidbits

It's that busy time of year again and right now all I have time to blog about right now is a few tidbits:

I had another ortho adjustment yesterday. Still have to wear the lovely biteblock, but that's okay. It's just that it's a bit difficult to eat and I sound like Marlon Brando in The GodFather.

We're getting a new living room couch, loveseat and recliner delivered this week (pictures will be posted later this week). This is our gift to each other this year, so there won't be any presents for us to unwrap under the adorable artificial 3' tree we bought. This is perfectly fine with us as we are perfectly content with what we have and now only need to get the kids their gifts.

This weekend was crazy busy for me, but very rewarding. I'm so very thankful to my customers! I'll be in my studio the rest of this week and the next and the next...

We watched the movie "Pay if Forward" the other night. We hadn't seen it before and even though it was a very good movie, I don't think I'll ever watch it again. If you have not seen it, then I won't say much more other than - tissues!

I need to get my day started. Oh! If you haven't seen Wall-E yet, you MUST! It is the cutest movie ever! It's funny how a movie like this can have such powerful messages. EEEEEEva ;)

Enjoy your week!
