Resident Evil If you have not seen 4 don't read.

 So many of you know my favorite movies are Resident Evil. Well I was so excited that the 4th movie was coming out and went with John, Angie, Caryn and Anthony, the day after it came out at the Mall of America. Alice has been my hero for as long as I can remember. Well in the first 15 mins Alice loses all of her special abilities that she got from the Umbrella Corp. The rest of the movie I was just mortified the stupid movie people had basically killed my hero. After the movie was over all I want to do was cry. I have not watched any of the movies since that night, and it use to be my ritual to watch them every weekend at least one time if not more. I know GEEK right. any way I have been boy coting anything to do with Resident Evil. Well of course Doug had to go out and buy the 4th movie the other day and I said that I would never watch it, he can watch it without me. Well I guess I gave in because here I am tonight watching the movie with my kids. I just watched Alice lose all of her powers again, and again I fell sad that she is no longer the hero that she was for 3 movies prior. Everyone keeps telling me to wait because in the next movie she will get them all back. The problem is this movie ruins her, she basically cowers at everything and hides behind the other people so she doesn't get hurt. Am I crazy for being so upset and hurt by a stupid movie? I am not 10 years old I should not be sad because I don't have a hero anymore. And another question that I have what is the time line for the fourth movie, I don't gt it. In the 3rd movie the world was a desert, and in the 4th movie the world is green again, and the 4th movie could not be before the world turned to a desert, because than all of the Alice's could not have attacked. I am so confused. The movie has me asking so many questions. So the question for me becomes will I watch a 5th movie if it comes out? Will all my questions that I have about 4 be answered. Will Alice become the Alice of the first 3 movies, or will she die and never regain her powers? I guess only time will tell, and until than I will have to be content with the fact that my hero is dead.

Valentines day and other Holidays

Happy Valentines day all!
So what do I think of this special day were the ones that say they love you everyday feel the need to express more love on this day than other days. Well I think that sentence says it all. I would rather be shown love everyday of my life and not more than usual on February 14th. Doug does show me that love everyday so I feel lucky and blessed, but the thing that gets me is when people say me and so and so are going out this weekend to celebrate Valentines day. Well no Valentines day is Feb 14th not Feb 12, or 20th so why if you are going to celebrate this extra special love day are you going to do it on any other day but the 14th? That brings me to all other Holidays. They are meant to be celebrated on that day, such as Thanksgiving why do we celebrate it the entire month of November? and Easter what is up with that holiday that people feel the need to make plans all month long? As for Christmas that is a little different it is a birthday celebration and unless our birthdays fall on a weekend we celebrate sometime within that month so Christmas I get. St. Patricks day is another holiday that I don't understand it is on a Thursday this year it is one day in mid week it is not the Friday or Saturday afterwords. So if you are going to partake in that Holiday do it on Thursday.
The Valentines day story of why we celebrate the day that I like best is "The St. Valentine the day is named for was, most likely, a priest in the 3rd century who performed secret marriages when the Roman Emperor Claudius II thought single soldiers were more likely to enlist in the army. That St. Valentine was imprisoned and executed on February 4, 270. It is believed he was responsible for giving the jailer's blind daughter back her eyesight, and before his execution, he sent herss a note saying, "From your Valentine." So it is a one day event that has been turned upside down and is celebrated for days before and after. Why do we celebrate St. Patricks day? The primary reason for the celebration is to commemorate the feast day of Saint Patrick, a Christian missionary who later on became the patron saint of Ireland. It is held every 17th day of March, which is believed to coincide with the time of his death. English-speaking countries, individuals of Irish ancestry and the Irish people are just few of the many groups that devotedly follow this special annual celebration. So if you are not Irish than there is no reason to celebrate this holiday, and there is really no reason that you should celebrate it for days before or after . I am not sure why this has sprung to my mind today but it has. Maybe it is because a lot of people have asked me what Doug and I are doing today to celebrate, well the answer is nothing more or less that we do any other day of the week, day, month or time of the year. I gave him a heart shaped box this morning with some candy and toys in it but that is only because I had to buy everything in 4 packs for the kids, and I only have three kids. I am sure Doug did not even think twice about today being Valentines day and I don't expect that he got me anything other than a kiss hello this morning and I will see you tonight. When I get home there will not be a special something waiting for me unless you consider Doug and my children something special which I do but it will be nothing extra.
