The Oscars! And a big house project.

I'm so excited the Oscars are on tonight! I love the Oscars. I'm watching some of the Red Carpet stuff right now and thoroughly enjoying it. And for the first time EVER, McGee and I were able to see all of the Best Picture nominated films!!  So, I thought I'd give you my quick opinions on them (in no order whatsoever):

The Revenant: AMAZING.  Leo's gotta win Best Actor for this. It was intense and awesome. Tom Hardy was also really great in it.

Spotlight: SO well-done. I was kinda dreading watching this one because of the subject matter, but it was REALLY well-done and interesting, and I thought it was great. I think this is my pick for Best Picture, but I think it'll probably go to The Revenant.

Brooklyn: Such a charming and cute movie!  I wasn't really excited to see this one because I thought it might just be a cheesy romance movie, but it was adorable.

Bridge of Spies: It started a little slow for me, but then it got SO good!  Loved it. And Tom Hanks did an amazing job, of course.

Mad Max: Fury Road:  It was an awesome action movie and I really liked it, but it just didn't really make sense to me as a Best Picture nominee. I thought Straight Outta Compton should have taken this movie's place in the nominees. Don't get me wrong, Mad Max was GREAT... but just not Best Picture worthy to me.

The Big Short: I thought this movie was great (and very educational for me!) and I thought Steve Carell was really great in it.

The Martian:  Loved it!!  And I'll definitely be watching this movie again. Everyone did an awesome job, and it was so exciting.  And Mom and Dad - You'd love this movie too if you haven't seen it already!

Room:  WOW. This movie was super intense, but SO well-done. It was great, and Brie Larson definitely deserves the Best Actress win. And I think the little boy should have been nominated too!  He was amazing in it. It was a mo-fo movie though... It definitely stayed with me for a few days!

That's all of them!!  Some really great movies.

This weekend we did a LOT of work on our house!!  McGee made some MAJOR progress on our downstairs bathroom, so I'll show you pictures of that bathroom very soon!!  And I started the project I've been dreading: removing the wallpaper in the Master Bathroom. I was SO dreading it, but I've been tackling it all weekend, and I'm happy to say that the end is in sight.  I think one more day and I'll have it finished.  We're hoping to crank out that bathroom re-do in a few weeks!  If you have not seen the wallpaper in this bathroom before, you are in for a treat..... I took this after I'd barely started removing the paper (so you can see a few blank spots by the window):

 

 

Yep... That's the wallpaper!!  And it's SO slow to remove too... Mostly just little tiny shreds are coming off. 

And a quick update on our boy:  He's feeling good!  He's not having any fun at all with this required relaxation for two weeks, but the drugs are helping with that. We have to keep him fairly doped-up on pain meds and we also give him anti-inflammatory meds. We'll have a check-up early next week, so hopefully he's given the clear to start going for walks, jumping on the couch, etc!!

 Hope everyone had a great weekend, and I hope your week goes quickly!!!!
