The Blind Side

So, I don’t watch very many movies these days. It doesn’t really bother me, but sometimes I just want to see something new. I have been listening to people all around me talk about how much they love The Blind Side, but I just hadn’t had the opportunity to watch it.

I know this movie is probably old news to a lot of you, but I wanted to see it SO bad! I told Russell that I wanted to see it, but we were both just too busy to make it happen. Last Friday I had a really long day full of studying, tests, homework, facebook, work, and more homework. I’ll just say it—I was burnt out!

When Russell got back from work I could tell that he’d had a long day too. He told me that he wasn’t going to do anymore homework that day, so he thought we should go to the redbox. So we did. We went to the Wal-Mart redbox. And to the redbox at Maverick. And then to the one at Kents. We even went to the redbox at McDonalds. The Blind Side was nowhere to be found, so Russell and I went back to our apartment empty-handed. It was kind of depressing, I’m not going to lie! :(

I just plopped down on the couch, and in an attempt to cheer me up, Russell suggested that we watch Monk instead. So we made dinner together, and then when it was ready we decided to have a picnic in front of the TV. Russell went to put his pjs on, while I was getting Monk ready. Getting ready to watch Monk wasn’t too tough since it was already in the DVD player, so all I had to do was turn on the TV.

Guess what I saw when I turned on the television?! Yep, it was The Blind Side! When I turned I saw Russell peeking around the corner looking like he was pretty proud of himself.

Wasn’t that super thoughtful of him?! I knew there was a reason I married him! :)
