Up Inside The Cyclone: October

 Hello! So, October's plot twists were very sweet and simple... and one that contained a plot twist with in a plot twist. I am making it sound more interesting than it is. You'll see what I mean in a second. 

This month's move was Arrival.

Ok, look... I didn't like this movie. I didn't pay much attention... Here is what I remember. Aliens come from space needing help. Dr. Amy Adams is good with languages tried to figured out what they are saying. She is sad because her Daughter died. She saved the world, and then come to find her daughter didn't die the aliens made he see the future and it hasn't happened yet. 

To be honest I have not idea why everyone loved this movie so much. I was bland, and boring, and I really wished I picked a different movie. However, what's done is done and let move one to the fun part. 

We got literally all the way to the end of the month to go my plot twists from my Mom and from Beth. Beth got to hers first.

I will be eating ice cream from here again. Not sure when but it will be soon because it really was super good. Mom's was the plot twist in the plot twist. 

I am really shocked that it's only happened once this year! I thought it would have happened more often with everything that is going on. However, she did have stuff happen that gave her a pass. So will will see what November has for me!

You're The Best Friends Anybody Ever Had: October

 I feel like everything I write one of these it's time to write another one. Thankfully, this one was not centered around one person. So instead of two blogs I just have to write the one. Since this is the first of the last three month that we have left in the year, it's gonna be over before we know it. However, we can still talk about how awesome friends are and this month's theme. 

First, we are going to talk about Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. 

The last 16 years of their lives have been filled with heartbreak, love, excitement, fear, wonder, discovery, anger, and friendship. All of these things have been fought through their whole lives. Before their whole loves actually. These four young women have grown up with each other. They mothers met in a yoga class while they were pregnant and gave birth all in a week of each other. Now upon their 16th year of togetherness they will have to spend their summer apart. Soccer Camp, Family visits, new jobs, and a whole world waiting for them to take on is more than enough for any friendship to be strengthened or destroyed. While on a last shopping spree before they all leave they find a pair of pants that magically fit all of them even with their different heights and body shapes. They buy the pants and use them as a way to keep in touch through the whole summer. 

When I was younger I did read the book. I read it poorly because I had to read it for a class or something and just read it for the sake of saying that I read it. The movie is good and I love all of the people that they chose for it. I will say that I think that this hit home for me is that a lot of time, especially as we get older, most friendship have to be done far apart instead of closer together. I was very fortunate that my friendships started out close and still survived as distance widened. I know that the friendship that I have are the ones that most people had. I know this, and because I know this is makes me determined to keep them close and to keep them strong. 

This moth we had another bonus gift along with the theme gift. The Themed gift was Intelligence. So, this one was one of the easier gifts to come up with. The reason is because at the time of creating the gift ideas I was working on Sudoku puzzles. I figured that we can do almost any puzzle book and that would have been great! So, I picked up a pack and sent them for fun is they wanted to. I got a mixed batch so I am not sure who got what but I am sure they will use them if they wanted to. 

The bonus gift this month was inspired by Luke. His funny quality was Witty. So, that one was easy enough because the man loves Puns. Any time he can find a pun to say or do he will say or do it. So, I found the great page of "tearable" puns to print off. I cut the slits and everything so that you can tear one off and read it as you go. I thought Luke would get a kick out of that. I will say that the next round will happen sooner than people think because I already have the stuff. I just have to send it out. I hope that I can get it out on time!
