A Little Bit Of Heaven ~ The Movie ~ My Reviews On This Romantic Comedy

September 08, 2011 By: Lynn Category: Feelings, Love, Movie Reviews, My Views

 I just watched the movie A Little Bit Of Heaven.

It was a romantic comedy and  let me tell you, did I ever find a tear jerker!  It has humour, romance, sex appeal and is a great movie for all you ladies or first dates out there.

This movie starred: 

  • Kate Hudson as Marley Corbett
  • Gael Garcia Bernal as Julian Goldstein
  • Kathy Bates as Beverly Corbett
  • Whoopi GoldBerg as god
  • Peter Dinklage as Vinnie
  • Romany Malco as Peter Cooper  

The movie A Little Bit Of Heaven,  is based on a very career oriented woman that learns that she has cancer.  

She has a guardian Angel (Whoopi Goldberg) that allows her three wishes, to enhance her life with what time she has left. 

 

You will see how she deals with finding out she has colon cancer, how her friends and family deal with it…….  

 and how she finds love too. 

 

You can’t beat this movie.  (Make sure you have Kleenex).  

I hope that you enjoy the movie as much as I did.  And please come back and let me know what you thought of it!  Enjoy!

Lending Money Out, I Need To Learn To Say No

August 28, 2011 By: Lynn Category: Bad Habits, Discipline, Feelings, Frustrated, My Husband, My Views

I have a BIG problem!!  I am the one and only  person that I know to sabotage my own happiness.  I let people walk all over me not intentionally and in turn I get hurt and it’s no-body’s fault but my own.  I lend money out, and I need to learn to say no.  Do you have a problem saying no to people? 

My husband is always saying that I have a lot of bark at home but no bite with my friends or family.  On a regular basis whether I am busy or can’t do something, I seem to always find ways to rearrange my time and schedule to help someone in need;  in turn always get screwed over in the end.

Have you ever loaned someone money when you really don’t have enough to loan and are promised the money back in a speeding time and then either never get it back or there are 100 and 1 reasons that they just can’t get it back to you until next pay then you still don’t get it.   Or they forget to pay you back?  Who forgets to pay somebody back money?  Makes no sense, but that is what happens to me.  And I have no courage to ask for the money back, because in my mind they don’t need the extra stress on there shoulders of me asking for my money back.  I just don’t want to cause anyone distress.  Yet, it causes me all the stress in the world.

I am maternity leave right now, and anyone that has been on unemployment insurance know that you hardly make any money, so it’s harder budgeting and in turn extra money kicking around isn’t in the books.  But I still seem to help people.  And for every $20-$100 dollars that I’ve got floating around out there is another dollar that I would have to enjoy time with my children or buy the essentials of life.

Do you have anyone out there that owes you money?  How would you resolve the situation without looking like you are broke and need the money back or making the borrower feel stressed about giving you the money back that they may not have?  I need your help!

The Reason That I Stopped Writing

August 16, 2011 By: Lynn Category: Family, Feelings, My Husband, My Views

Over the past few years, I have had alot of followers and I think that you deserve a quick note on the reason that I stopped writing.

It is true that the time has flown, but to be honest with you I lost the wind under my sail, so to speak. 

I use this website and blogging to release my inner thoughts, my emotional status and the funnier moments in my life.  If you have kept up with my stories then I have made it respectfully obvious that I do not see eye to eye with my husbands immediate family.   I have been hurt by them on more then one occasion.   My husband is the dark horse in his family and because of that I don’t feel as though they care for his choice in a wife.

A little over a year ago I was writing all the time, I was at my prime of writing and then, I had (to me), a bomb dropped on me; they were reading my blog!!  I know that it is out there for the world to see but it was something that they took from me………my privacy.  I felt small, this was my way of releasing and they just got into my space.  They don’t have anything to do with me in real life, so why did they have to be reading what I was thinking, what I was sharing.  To me (it probably sounds shallow) they took my enjoyment away.  All I could think was, “WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I AM THINKING WHEN YOU DON’T TALK TO ME!”  So that is why I stopped writing.

Why have I started back???  I have put alot of work into my stories, I am proud of what I have done on this website, and if they want to read what I write then so be it.  (A year later, I don’t think that they will be reading my stories anymore though)  ;)  

So I thank you for your patience and I hope that you are ready for a wild ride, because I may not have wrote, but that doesn’t stop the train of stories and experiences that I have encountered over the last year. 

Is there anything that your family/extended family have ever done to make you feel as though you need to quit something?  How did you overcome those dynamics?
