As part of my job I get to see a lot of movies in advance before they are released to the public. Yesterday, we screened a film that scared the shit out of me. I was shaking for hours after screening the film. I think the thing that got to me the most was that I went in thinking it was going to be a murder mystery and it turned out to be THE EXORCIST. The funny thing was that I've seen THE EXORCIST and wasn't scared because going in I knew I was going to be freaked out so I prepared myself. But there was no preparing for this film. This film looked like one thing and turned out to be another (we normally do that when we know the film is going to suck). But this film, despite scaring the shit out of me was awesome! A total surprise that I could get that scared and a total surprise that it was good. I hadn't read a synopsis and hadn't worked on the trailer yet so I had no idea what to expect. Let me tell you when you get scared at the THE EXORCIST kind of movies you don't want to be sitting in a theatre (which by the way had the air conditioning on the highest level possible) thinking you'd be seeing one thing and suddenly do a 360..... and be covering your eyes and ears wishing you would have stayed in your office. I'd tell you the name of this "scared shitless" film but its too early yet. Plus, I want you to have the pleasure of discovering this treat on your own. You don't want to miss being scared in your seat!

The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
