Paul says!
Posted on: August 24, 2010
New section alert. Paul is a young, strapping man who works at our office. He knows how to do everything. He is the person I go to whenever I have a problem; whether it be about my computer, car, boyfriend, great uncle, the rain, pandas, slow cooker recipes or taxes.. Paul always has the solution.
Paul has also introduced me to many random foods like 99% cocoa chocolate bar (mildly disgusting) and banana chips (I would recommend these). He also sends us random videos and articles sometimes that are totally blog worthy. Hence us starting up a ‘Paul Says’ section.
Here is a video that Paul would like you to watch. I think it’s pretty great.

Charlie st. Cloud (aka charlie st. I wont ever get those two hours of my life back) movie review
Posted on: August 24, 2010
Okay. First I would like to start by saying that it was not my decision to see this movie. Being the best daughter in the world is a tough job, and my position was tested last night when I agreed to see Charlie St. Cloud with my lovely mother. Secondly, Robin I don’t expect you to see this movie and review it, I dont wish that upon anyone. This review is merely a warning to anyone who may be tempted by the appeal of shirtless Zack Effron. STAY BACK! its a TRICK!
Within the first ten minutes of the movie, Effron loses his younger brother in a terrible car accident, attends his funeral and begins to see his ghost. The moment he said to his ghost brother “I will come here, every day at sunset and play catch with you…I promise” is when I popped a handful of advil rapid releases in hopes of slipping into a mild comatose state wherein I could endure the remaining hour and fifty minutes of the movie.
Here’s what I managed to get out of it as I drifted in and out of consciousness: Effrons brother dies, he plays catch with him. he loses his zeal for life. he meets girl. girls gets into sailing accident, lost at sea. zack has a vision that she is still alive. zack steals boat to find her. zack takes his shirt off (pause for visual) to keep her warm. zack saves her life. zacks brother becomes a tiny orb, which I can only assume represents his ascent into heaven. the end.
This movie gets ZERO ritas out of five. But on a different scale, I give this movie 5 shirtless zack effrons. because frankly, the movie needed more of it.

1- Today is “Be an Angel” day. Basically do nice things today. I hope it’s not too late and you weren’t really mean today, I should have wrote this post earlier.
2- 25 years ago today a true angel was actually born. That angel is Laura Stradiotto. Some say Laura is not an angel and that her natural glow is just due to the fact that she was conceived in nuclear sewage. Some say that is also why she has a brother that was born on the exact same day as her. I say, Horseradish! I have seen Laura dance to”Single Ladies” and I know that only an angel could move like she can.
Happy Birthday Laura! Happy birthday to your brother too (pictured below)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!!!
