Today's inspiration is Steph from Watching Airplanes. Steph is a Army wife and the queen of random posting. I personally love her Facebook status blogs...they crack me up! Head over to her blog to see what she's updating about today!
Steph's movie recommendation was Where the Red Fern Grows. I'm telling ya, thank goodness for Netflix and being able to watch things instantly!I sat down, all set to watch the movie, and realized there are two versions of this movie! I wasn't sure which one to watch...so I watched both.
According to Wikipedia the book is written at a 4th grade level. So, maybe that's who this movie is directed towards. Cuz man-oh-man! I just could not get into it! First I tried the original version then switched the new one. I can tell you this, they both have the same first scene.
I feel bad, this is the first movie I wouldn't recommend! I was bored.
Steph did recommend a great book though! Awhile back I read The Undomestic Goddess and loved it. So, I was very excited when Steph recommended any of the Confessions of a Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella.I read the first book in the series (and plan to read the second later!) The book is about Rebecca Bloomwood who is in a severe amount of debt and ironically works for a financial magazine. This book is full of hysterical moments that involve over spending, making up words and faking stalkers. But it also shows that you should probably know what you are talking about...or you could get yourself and others into a lot of (financial) trouble.
I really liked this book. If you are looking for a good fast read..I recommend this one! Her writing style is so friendly, almost like you are reading a letter from your best friend.
Oh, I love Steph's food recommendation. Anything pasta. I just happened to be visiting my parents when I was having fun with Steph's recommendations...so she actually inspired my whole family for one night. Mom made her amazing shrimp scampi. She made enough to feed all of my readers...and it was seriously delicious! I wish I had a recipe to share, but I think it's one of Mom's few food secrets!
Thank you for the recommendations Steph! As always, I'm having a blast with all of these! If anyone wants t make their own recommendations, the link is at the top of the page!
