Wanted: Not bad at all

Had an outing last night, and I saw Wanted. The cast: Morgan Freeman, Angelia Jolie, Common (one of my favorite rapper-turned-actors). It did not disappoint. There was plenty of action all through the film, so it kept me on the edge of my seat. Of course there was quite a bit of violence, which you get a lot of in action movies, but it was an entertaining ride. The movie, however, did not end at all like I thought it would. Total shock. And that made it all the more entertaining. I love a twist! The special effects remind me of The Matrix, a movie I never really understood, but it was fun to watch. I could get a much better grasp of the plot with Wanted, which gives it some points with me. So, all-in-all, you should go see it.

Action on the weekend

I'm so glad it's the weekend. These days Saturdays and Sundays are very precious, because Monday through Friday it's work, work, work! I think I have convinced Eddie to go and see Wanted with me today. I haven't read or heard any reviews and I don't want to. I just want to see if I like it. It's been a long time since I have been to a fun, action-packed movie. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

By the way, I was able to put in over 4,000 steps on my walk this AM. I wanted to get to 5,000, but I have places to go today. Didn't have time. Oh well, I'll continue with my quest to 10,000 steps later.

Counting Steps

I'm in the second week of a walking challenge at my job. We each have to record our steps using pedometers provided by the company, BJK People's Health Centers. Then, after about 12 weeks, the number of steps for each team of 5 will be tallied. So far, I've been averaging about 3,000 steps a day. Somehow, my team members are managing to get up to 20,000 (I wonder where they're walking and when they find the time to do it.) Anyway, I'm proud to say that I did some extra stepping after work yesterday...and I broke 5,000! I think I'll make my personal goal 10,000 in one day.

Weekend in Columbia

I spent a very fun and relaxing weekend in Columbia, MO (my old stomping grounds). The reason was my dear friend Amy's bridal shower and bachelorette party. All the ladies cracked up at some point during the evening. Check out video of Amy at The Deuce.
