New Year's Bowl Games

{ very sleepy, ZZzzz... }

One of the perks of New Year's Day is the plethora of college football on TV. Our Bulldogs are playing in the Capitol One Bowl versus Michigan State today. This is one of Mr. Grubbs' favorite days, however because of the amount of adult beverages that were consumed to welcome in 2009 he and Doc are taking a little rest from the pigskin excitement for the time being. Later we are going on our first date of '09 to the movies. I think we will see Cruise's new movie Valkyrie- it is about a plot to kill Hilter. I'll have a review of it tomorrow. Happy first day of '09!

The Run Down

Thursday: Finally watched Sex and the City. It was awesome. I'm glad that they stuck to the feeling of the show. But I did cry a couple times.

Friday: Worked out, had a lovely dinner out - doesn't happen much anymore- with Mr. Grubbs, then we did some shopping. I found some adorable ramekin dishes for a new dessert I'm going to try! Then we came home and watched some shows on DVR and feel asleep on the couch, excellent Friday night if you ask me.

Saturday: Woke up early and had the usual breakfast on the Square with the husband. Then cleaned up the house for the guys to come over and watch football. I made the very delicious Buffalo Chicken Dip- very man's dream!! After all the games were over, Mr. Grubbs and I went solo to our usual drinking hole and hung out just the two of us, very fun!

Now: I'm cleaning up the house and doing laundry, while Mr. Grubbs is at the Falcon's game. We will meet again at mom and dad's for Sunday dinner tonight. There is always something going on 'round here. 

Holy Crap, my side HURTS

I was treated to a date night with the husband on Friday night. After a romantic gym visit, a delicious protein shake for dinner, and a well deserved shower (did I mention we are on a get-fit kick?) we made our way to the movie theater for a couple laughs. We decided to go see Ben Stiller's new movie Tropic Thunder. It also stars Robert Downey Jr, Jack Black, Nick Nolte, and a few others. It is about a group of actors who are filming a war movie, but mistakenly end up in a Vietnamese drug camp. The best part of the whole movie is the beginning scenes. I'm not going to give them away but make sure you are in your seats on time. I definitley recommend the astronomical ticket prices to see it.

P.S. We can now only use our old, cracked and out-of-date Student IDs for discounts on Thursdays. So much for trying to relive the Glory Days and save a couple bucks.
