Arsenic and Old Lace - The Oldie but Goodie you HAVE to see.

What sweet old ladies these are!  How kind of them to offer this nice old gentleman a glass of wine. 

Too bad those sweet old ladies are cold-blooded killers and that delicious glass of wine contains just a touch of arsenic, strychnine and cyanide. 

And so goes the storyline of this old gem of a movie. 

A ton of humor, a good deal of suspense and a touch of romance are all ingredients for a great movie.  This is a great movie.

First of all, it has Cary Grant in it.  Swoon.  And of course there is the beautiful girl as well.   And the villain who sorta looks like Frankenstein. 

Lots and lots of insanity too. In fact, if you want to feel especially sane, you should watch this movie.  I promise you, no matter how crazy you are, you are saner than the characters in this old tale.  Except for Cary Grant.  He's a keeper. 

Mostly this movie is just funny.  Very, very funny.  I didn't even fall asleep while watching it...and THAT is saying something. 

If you haven't seen, I suggest you watch it. 

It would make a great date night in movie, or just a movie to watch by yourself.   I don't usually blog about movies, but we enjoyed this one so much, I just couldn't resist sharing how much I loved it with all of you.

Have you seen any good movies lately?  Anything you'd want to recommend?

What I Wore Sunday

It's Sunday again...time for another edition of WIWS.  I love doing these link-ups..they keep me motivated to dress a bit nicer for Mass.

Anyway, if I look tired in these pictures, it's because I was up for like 2 hours in the middle of the night last night.  What kept me up you might ask?  Babies?  Sick kids?  Oh no..nothing as mundane as that.  This was a wake up scared and freaked out in the middle of the night because you watched a thriller before bed.   Last night, Ben and I watched Along Came a Spider, which was actually pretty good, if not a bit too violent.  Super surprising (to me anyway) twist the end..so that's always fun...until I woke up scared in the middle of the night and suddenly every normal house noise was SURELY the sign of an intruder.

I can't complain too much though...because on Friday night Ben watched Fireproof with me...which I'd been wanting to see for a long time, just because of all the brouhaha about it in certain circles.  For all the people raving about it, I actually didn't think it was very good.  The dialogue was forced, the plot was extremely predictable and the acting wasn't that great either.   Surely,Christians can do better than that. 

Anyway...what was this post about..oh yeah... WIWS.  This isn't actually what I looked like during Mass.  During Mass this morning, most of my shirt was covered up with Elsa in my Maya Wrap sling and nursing cover, because I nursed/wore Elsa most of the Mass so she would sleep through it.    Don't have a picture of that though. It worked beautifully until the Amen, when she woke up with a start and spent the rest of Mass trying to pull her siblings' hair and snatch my glasses.    

Shirt: thrifted

Skirt: Slade Clothing

Shoes: Given to me

Belt: amazon.com

Don't let that innocent looking face fool you.

Elsa's Dress: hand me downs

\Glasses: Zenni Optical

I couldn't decide whether it looked better with or without the belt.  I ended up wearing the belt during Mass..but I'm not so sure.  Looking at the pictures, I'm still undecided.   What do you think?

And, do be sure to check out everyone else's outfits at Fine Linen and Purple.

Have a Blessed Sunday!
