On Movies.
Truth--I am a terrible movie watcher.
I seldom watch movies. 98.8% of the time I execute one of the following options:
Fall asleep during the first quarter of the movie
--OR--
Allow my Attention Deficit Disorder get the better of me to the point that I get up and do something, e.g. fold laundry. While tinkering near the boob-tube (as my mother calls a t.v.), I try to make my movie watching cohort happy with me by pretending that I am watching the movie when in reality, I am not.
Obviously, that leaves us with the residual 1. 2% that is dedicated to watching a movie from beginning to end--the outcome occurs once in a blue moon.
I never know when the 1.2% chance will take effect. Usually, I am caught off guard and absolutely surprised when it happens, as I was this morning.
My husband and I are spending the weekend in beautiful Tahoe, Nevada. I wake up, open the curtains in our hotel room to the most lovely view of the lake. I said, “have a nice day at work” to my handsome husband and then tell myself that I am going to have a productive day until... I turn on the darn television.
What is playing but one of my personal favorite movies, Sleepless in Seattle. I have watched the movie a gazillion times. I attempt to limit myself to only watching one small clip. One and a half hours later, the movie is over and I am still laying in bed. Ahh!
At this time, I have 1 hour before my husband comes back to the hotel room and we journey off to tour the lake via boat. I better do something with myself quick.
Maybe I should look busy and fold laundry? No way. I have to get outside.

You shouldn't feel guilt over Sleepless in Seattle. It's a classic! Looks like you guys had a great time in Tahoe. Love the pictures.
I love that movie! I would have done the same thing... :) Great pics!
I am also a terrible movie watcher! I am currently playing on our laptop while Matt is watching a movie. I would fall right to sleep if I wasn't doing something while watching.
