Go and see.....Magic Mike

No really....go see it. Especially if you like Stephen Soderberg. It's starts off as a fun stripper story with lots of ass cheeks and crotch grabs, but it grows into a really great movie. Chaning Tatum is extremely likeable, the female characters actually have personalities (shock!), and I'm pretty sure that Matthew McConaughey wasn't acting but just channeling his everyday life. The last half really reminded me of Boogie Nights, but just skimmed the surface of the darker side of Mike's life. That might have bothered me in another movie, but I was glad that Soderberg didn't got too far down that path because I wanted to leave liking Mike, and I did. Also lots of shots of bare chested Joe Manganiello would probably make me like any movie.

Happy New Year (yeah I know it's July...just go with it)

So after a few very trying, exhausting months at the Boehmke household, I've decided that it's time to bring some positive energy back into my life....and what better way to do that then to put aside time every week to share with the world the things that I am most happy for!  Instead of using this space to rant about politics, or my annoying neighbors, or everything else that really "grinds my gears," I'm going to write about the things that make me happy, the things that I'm proud of, and the things I'm looking forward to.

To that end - let me share with you the 10 things this week that have made me happy, which will be a regular feature on my blog, so Stay Tuned!
