Welcome to the New Year! It's fresh. It's sparkly. There are 364 days of "unknown" about what will transpire and how your year will look at the end. :) There is something "nice" about starting a new year...Not sure why my birthday doesn't give me the same feeling, except minor excitement for my birthday along with minor-gloom that I'm getting older, but a new year always seems more invigorating. Maybe it's the fact most people on the planet are excited it's a new year and it's a big "thing" and individual birthdays are what you make of them each year. Not sure, but the new year is exciting! This Chinese New Year (Jan 31st) will also be The Year of the Horse. I am partial to this year, even if I am Year of the Ox and, before anyone asks or says it, despite the fact I'm not even Chinese. :P So, here's hoping 2014 is a terrific year for everyone!
Ending with 2013, I watched ONE more movie to make it a solid 110 movies I watched in 2013. I'll do the movie "year in recap" post later, but I wanted to review my final movie and say...I read 68 books! Made my 2 books goal in 4 days. I forgot I was halfway through one book and started and finished a whole other book. Phew. I also did, from my FB posting of pictures, 86 different manicures through 2013 (there might be a couple I never posted, but close enough). That makes it about every 4 days (4.2 to be exact) I changed my nails. That seems to be about right. I'd have said twice a week or every 3-5 days. Wasn't quite twice a week, but close and the middle of 3-5 is 4.
Also, quickly, back update. Second chiropractor visit was a good thing. I had a pretty big adjustment and my spine feels better now. I have another one tomorrow (Thurs) after work. I have less pain and feel less like my spine and bones are rubbing against each other and my movement is smoother. Unfortunately, I think I'm to the point where I think the tissue or ligaments or tendons or whatever AROUND the spine has been damaged. Now it's just waiting for that to all heal and build up my lower back muscle again. I also need to be careful not to overdo the bending. Yesterday, I had a relatively pain free day with minimal bending. Came home from work and started to bend a lot to attend to the rabbits and do other things. By the end of the night, the pain had come back and now, with me sitting, my back hurts. *sigh* I definitely overdid it yesterday, which is good to know what is going on, but bad that I'm still suffering through this. I'm going on week 4 now.
Last movie...and a short review...
We're the Millers (Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Will Poulter) - Funny how Sudeikis is the main start of this movie and, yet, most people refer to this as an Aniston film...This wasn't a terrible movie, surprisingly. It was funny in that typical adult-comedy way you'd expect from a film like this, but it also wasn't potty-humor either. I thought everyone did a pretty good job. It's a predictable film, but had some funny lines and some funny scenes. It, of course, has that happy ending and it was predictable, but still happy. Grade: C/C+
With that...110 movies! Yay! And, I'm off to go read or eat or something else that will relax my back... :P
Happy New Year!
