"All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others." - George Orwell

A few of us went to see Marley and Me over the weekend. I had been very excited about this movie because I read the adult version of the book over the summer and I had just read the teen version to my students before Christmas break. I was so excited to hear that there was a movie coming out based on the book. Now, if you have read the book and you want to go see the movie, go in with an open mind. A lot of things are different in the movie from what is in the book. With that said, the movie is not bad. I really enjoyed it, but it was hard to stop reverting back to the book and picking out what they had left out or changed. Take tissues...it is a tear-jerker. Mr. S. said he had to bite his tongue so he wouldn't cry. Aw.

We had our final Christmas dinner for the season at his parents' house yesterday. His mom makes this awesome tortellini soup...it is SOO good. Mm...and she sent some home with us. Yum! It was a good time to stop by there and have Christmas. Truman went and behaved himself, which was so nice. But he ate a rawhide bone all day and his tummy is a little upset today.

I have decided not to make my resolution for next year to be to lose weight, but to be healthier. I have to start eating better because I think that it might help me feel better. I have been feeling icky...so I think it will help.

So....Tyra is on TV. Is it just me or does it look like she had a nose job? Maybe it's the makeup. Oh, and the Kardashian sisters...annoying. Their voices grate on my nerves.

Have a wonderful day!
