Movie Monday @ Messy Mommy


Shell gave me the idea to go see a movie by myself. I honestly don't think I've ever done that before. Hubby watched the kids and I thoroughly enjoyed my alone time. It's the first time I've ever been away from The Baby! If I wasn't nursing I would've hit The Lovely Bones too. Maybe next week.


Dear John: A romantic drama about a soldier who falls for a conservative college student while he's home on leave.

I must say, I was disappointed. However, the book wasn't my all time fave either so I guess that was to be expected. There were a few differences between the book and the movie that messed things up a little, including slightly different endings. I didn't care for the endings in either. Channing Tatum? Scrumdiddlyumptious.

SPOILER ALERT: Tim being so old in the movie and still marrying Savannah was wacky. In the book they were best friends, in the movie he's her dad's friend. WTH? I figured they'd change it up entirely and have her marry Randy, but I guess that would've been too obvious. I definitely think the movie would've been better if they wouldn't have changed the whole Tim thing. It was slightly disturbing.

a book and a boob

I love to read, but it's hard to find time to fit it in. Sometimes I just skip the housework and read all day. Before we moved I read all but 3 Nicholas Sparks books in 6 weeks. After we moved it took me two months to read one. And then I finally figured it out. The perfect time to relax and read. During feedings.

I read "The Lovely Bones" last week in anticipation of the movie. My opinion? 2 thumbs down. It was written well but I thought the story was awful. I'm very curious to see what the movie will be like.

Most people say they like to see the movie before reading the book, I'm the exact opposite. I'm so excited to see "Dear John." Nicholas Sparks is the greatest!

I have 2 more Nicholas Sparks books to read, and I think I'm going to start the Twilight series. What book are you reading?
