As we sat in the theater watching the previews for the previews, we were talking about how there is no generation gap with the Bond films. We took a quick scan around the filling theater to find viewers of all ages. There were kids, parents, young people and old people all eagerly awaiting the next installment in the Bond series. There are very few modern movies that can bring so many generations together with all the excitement that 007 does. It's nice to know that there are still things that bring a common Bond between so many different people of different ages.

Bond
Alex and I are movie people. It's something we enjoy doing. We like watching movies at home and at the theater. But, lately we haven't gotten to go to the theater as much as we'd like. After much excitement and Fandango-ing, yesterday we went to see the new James Bond movie. It was very good and I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen.

Week 11: Describe two pet peeves you have and why.
Abby:
My current pet peeves-
1. Lights being left on. I don't know when I became the light police, but I hate when they're left on. Alex's excuse, "Moose is scared of the dark." Really?! He's a dog!.....grrr
2. Dishes sitting in the sink for long periods of time. If you can put your dishes in the sink, how hard is it to rinse them off and put them in the dish washer? (This stems from college roommates. They thought we had a dish fairy.)
Alex:
1. When people stand in the middle of the isle(s) in stores, ie: Wal-Mart, Target, etc. Move, how hard is it to scoot out of the way??
2. When people take far too long to email me back. It's instant, shouldn't you instantly respond?

The Big 3-0
Not only is today Election Day, but it is also my sister's birthday!! She is the best 30 year old sister I've ever had and she's pretty fantastic too! As we have gotten older we've gotten very close and luckily Jared and Alex put up with us. She's my best friend. Someday I hope we can be next door neighbors like our mom and aunt and drink coffee chai, raise kids, go shopping, scour pinterest for "original" ideas and do Zumba together.
Happy Birthday Becky!!!

Thirty Thursday's {10}
We're one third of the way through this series of posts! Week 10 topic: Who is your favorite superhero?
Abby:
Super Grover! I was never a big fan of the super hero's. My brother was enough older than me that by the time I was of age to like them, he was beyond them. I did watch a lot of Sesame Street and Super Grover was pretty neat. (Why yes, that did rhyme. Sesame Street taught me a lot.)
Alex:
Batman! Why? He's cooler than the other guys. He doesn't have any super powers and he still trumps the bad guys. He has the option to be a normal guy, but chooses to be a superhero.
