Christmas movies

Posted by Arden Wallace

My parents and I have been using our http://www.directstartv.com/ to Christmas movies the past few weeks. Since it is so close to the holidays, a lot of the stations are airing classic and new holiday movies. It has been a lot of fun to be able to watch a new movie every night. I am a movie person anyway, so I really enjoy it. Anytime I watch television, I look for a movie instead of a show. I think it has something to do with my attention span. I prefer to focus on something for a long period of time. 

We watched Christmas Vacation last night, which we watch probably every year. It really helped me to relax and to just enjoy myself around the family. I do not think people take enough time to do that anymore. That is why Christmas is so nice. 

It is a rush leading up to the holiday, but during and after, everyone gets to take a breather. Tomorrow my favorite movie will be on the same channel and I am really looking forward to being able to just kick back, relax and have some time with my family we usually do not get to enjoy.

Wheel of Fortune

One of the earliest pictures that my mom has of me is me as a toddler, wearing only a diaper, standing directly in front of the TV watching Wheel of Fortune. I was that kid. The obnoxious one who preferred Vanna and Pat over Oscar and Big Bird. Later I would be a voracious reader, and would go on to major in English in college. My passion for words is deeply engrained, is what I’m getting at here. My mom laughs about how I was solving the Wheel of Fortune puzzles before the contestants could at age five.

I would yell them at the screen and smirk victoriously when the answer was finally relieved. In case you were wondering, I’m still just as obnoxious—while few people share my obsession with Wheel of Fortune, most people downright HATE it if I’m watching it with them. I don’t even really give anyone else a chance to try at the puzzle as I crow the answer out as quickly as possible. I’m a real joy.

Wheel comes on weeknights at 7 pm EST. Check direct tv colorado for listings. I dare you to solve a puzzle before me.

Full Time Mommy

When I decided to quit work and stay at home with my daughters I had no idea it would have such an impact on our family. I know it’s really great for the girls but it’s taken me a while to adjust to the change and sometimes I feel a little lost in a world without corporate work. The good news is that I’ve slowly started my own business and it’s actually doing really well!

I sell personalizedstationery and I make it all myself at home and I can’t believe how much money it’s bringing in on the side. I went to www.Bank-card-Processing.com to see about how to take credit cards and talked to all the wedding planners and venues in town and word-of-mouth is really helping my client list grow. I love having something that’s all mine and I know my kids and husband appreciate that I have more of a life…it’s better for them and for me and I’m a much more pleasant person to be around!
