Chilled Out Sunday

On Sunday, it was another gloomy/sunny day. But, it was warm-ish out which was strange. Anyway, I hit up the local bookstore yesterday and got a new book. It looks good & can't wait to start it: Girl In Translation.


We also watched a movie, Frozen River.

This movie is from 2008 but I just got around to watching it. Marisa Leo stars in it & she just won an Oscar for her role in the Fighter earlier this year. She did a great job in this film, too. This movie is about a desperate Mother trying to support her two kids while living in a trailer & working at the Dollar Store. She lives in upstate NY near an American Indian reservation where she meets an American Indian who is a "Smuggler." The "Smuggler" knows an area of the CN/US border that is not patrolled where she helps bring in Illegal Aliens to the US for cash.

In order to get through this area, you have to drive over a frozen river, hence the name. This movie was very interesting and showed what people will do when they are desperate. I recommend this one!

I also got a manicure yesterday and met up with Betsy for a beer while Erik was out surfing. It was good to catch up and talk wedding stuff! I'm excited to say that we have found our wedding photographer through another friend who just got married. The girl takes beautiful photos and her price is amazing! Woohoo!
