How to Train Your Dragon 2 -- Movie Review

 

(https://www.howtotrainyourdragon.com/ Here's Dreamwork's Website for credits and stuff)

I do not have kids. I am a proud aunt of 6 and an honorary aunt to at least 5. I went to go see "How to Train Your Dragon Two" with New Dude. 

Yes, I like to watch kids movies, I'm still a bit of a kid myself. I could use many excuses of why I went. 

I could say I watch these movies so I can talk to kids when we hang out. However, most of these kids still cannot talk. So that is out.

I could say I'm screening them so if I watch them I'll know what would be appropriate. I haven't baby sat in a while so that is out.

I could say that it's because I was bored and it was a Sunday, but having just started to play a new video game, this is also out.

No, New Dude and I went to go see this next movie because the first one was AMAZING! We wanted to go see amazing again, but this time, for me at least, on the big screen.

I was not disappointed. The normal talking point like awesome animation, the characters from the first one were brought back, new ones were added, and it had a fantastic story. It had a start, middle, and end. The character development was fantastic. 

This movie made you laugh, it made you cry, it made you cheer, it made you sad, it made you wanting more. 

This movie also had something a lot of squeals sometimes lack, (example,  Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 (I love them too)), this movie could stand alone and people would still love it. The jokes and little bits of dialogue here and there might not be as big, but people could still love it, still enjoy it, and still want more.

"How to Train Your Dragon 2" is a fantastic movie that will be entertain the young, the old, and everyone in between. Go see it!

Dishwasher Troubles

While away in college I was always excited and happy to realize that my mom taught me how to survive as an adult.

I had already learned about the check book, how to cook food, clean clothes, dishes, take care of bills, and just had an over better idea of how to move from home and into an apartment and live better then a lot of my fellow students.

Don't get me wrong, I still had plenty of learning with cars, boys, roommates, fleas, and friends.

One of my most prideful moment was the fact that I knew the difference between dish soap and dishwasher soap. This saved me the whole over following house/kitchen filled with bubbles stories that most college kids had.

I apparently just needed to wait until I was in my late 20s and had a cleaning fit day.

I came home from work and apparently had a bug up my butt. I started to clean like a mad woman. Two of the random offenders were the garbage can and the dishwasher. The bottom had some kind of plastic thing to keep bigger parts of food, plastic, and lost lids from going down the drain. With the help of New Dude, we clean this black gross covered thing. 

While he took one part into the tub to scrub, I pulled out the Mr. Clean and scrubbed everything inside the dishwasher. Then to top it off, added a little bleach.

Which, for the record, is a very stupid idea. You should never mix chemicals, they usually have bad reactions that cause you to have problems with breathing.

I wanted to fire up the dishwasher let the two rather harsh chemicals run their course. We put the dishwasher back together and push the short run cycle.

Things were going great! That was until, I came in later and saw the bubbles coming out. 

So, I grabbed a broom, swept the floor and then used my now readily available Mr. Clean/bleach water to clean the floor. 

To be fair it had been a LONG time since I cleaned the kitchen floor. 

AND I had recently said I was avoiding cleaning it. I guess the cleaning people from above thought my avoidance had lasted long enough.

So now my dishwasher AND my floor were cleaned all in the same day!

Has anyone else had an issue like this before? If so leave me your story below! Thanks and have a fantastic day!

Benadryl Game

Borrowed from here.

Most people know about Benadryl as a great way to save their friends who are allergic to something from dying. It is great to have around in case hives unexpectedly break out all over your body, if allergies are really bad, or in my case, need sleep.

Yes, this is a wonderful drug that has helped my friend avoid an emergency room visit because she accidentally drank out of the straw her husband used and he had eaten some fish and she's highly allergic. 

It's been used to help one of our puppies who got stung in the face by 2-3 wasps reduce the swelling and bring everything back down to size. 

For me, this little wonder drug means one thing for me. Pure, beautiful, glorious, guaranteed, sleep.

So, how does this game work? Sit tight and I shall tell you. 

Step 1. Make sure you have about 8 hours to devote to sleep.

Step 2. Take one pill with a full glass of water.

Step 3. Brush your teeth. (No one likes morning breath and it is worse if you forget)

Step 4. See how long you can do anything until that beautiful wave of peace, happy, and sleep calls you to bed.

Step 5. You win! Sleep happens!

Now, I know, other people play this with Night Quill and other run things like that, but for me, Benadryl works best. 

And yes, I also know that some people put twists on to step 4 like playing a video game, having "self love" time, or some other random thing, but for me, it is just purely a waiting game.

Alright, well, I already did step 1-4 and 5 is calling. So you have a fantastic day!

Does anyone else play this game? Or is just me? Let me know with a comment below!
