Moneyball- Starring Brad Pitt

*This whole post is a spoiler alert* I still haven't really decided my feelings on this movie, and I watched it over a week ago. I love good sports stories: Remember the Titans, Coach Carter, Glory Road. But maybe I like these movies because they actually win in the end. But in Friday Night Lights, they don't win, and that movie was tough for me to watch. I'm sure almost everyone has had their hopes high for their team to win something big,...

Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant

We went to eat at the Knott's Berry Farm restaurant last night with some friends, and it was a first time for me.  There were a few things I liked and a few things that I did not like at all.  I didn't like the waiter. He seemed like he was always in a rush to get somewhere else and didn't have enough time to answer our questions or give us straws. He took forever to get to us once our whole party was there, he answered my question about...

127 Hours- Starring James Franco

 What an awful thing to happen to someone. I can't believe that this was based on a true story. I already knew what was going to happen at the end of the movie, so I couldn't watch it when it came, but I got the jist of it. I didn't really like the movie though. I mean, how interesting can it be to watch someone stuck in a cave for an hour and a half. And these kind of movies make me uncomfortable anyways. I hate caves, deep-sea diving, and...

The Help- Starring Emma Stone & Viola Davis

Loved it! I've been wanting to watch this movie ever since I finished the book a couple of months ago, but my husband wouldn't watch it with me. Well, we were waiting for it to come out on dvd, but even after that it took awhile for us to rent it. We finally ended up watching it this past weekend and my husband loved it! Okay, maybe not loved it, but he thought it was pretty good. It was a long movie, but I enjoyed every minute of it. It followed...

Wienerschnitzel

We are trying to spend less money on going out to eat this year, that's our New Year's resolution, so this past weekend we decided to eat cheap at Wienerschnitzel. Best chili cheese fries I have ever had. They were so good. I also had a corn dog, but it was just a normal corn dog, no big deal. The fries at Wienerschnitzel have now made my top five fast food fries list. This list consists of Whataburger, Burger King, Dairy Queen (only in Texas), Mcdonald's,...

Farrell's

This past Monday I spent the entire day with my in-laws, and we ended up going to Farrell's for dinner. It's this new place that opened on the corner of downtown Brea, and it is always so packed. The line to get in goes halfway around the building...everyday, all day! There is always a line, so my husband and I figured it must be really good since so many people wait in that line to get in. I also heard from someone at church that the waiters had...

Duck and Sauerkraut

It's been awhile since I've tried something new. Christmas day I got terribly sick which lasted about a week, and then I got pink-eye so I couldn't really start any new books. I watched the Sound of Music on Christmas day, but I don't really care to post about that movie. I've seen it tons of times, and of course I would recommend it because it's a classic. For New Years, we went to my sister-in-law's house for dinner, and instead of traditional...
