It's Tuesday and that means another round of Random Tuesday Thoughts. Here's the thoughts that occupy my brain right now:
Just a few more days and it will be Halloween. I'm glad it's on a weekend this year, as there's no rush to shorten the festivities. I will be taking the kids trick-or-treating and attending a Halloween party.
I went to the movies the other night and watched "Stepfather". Went on bargain night so it wouldn't cost as much. Ticket prices were reduced and popcorn was free, but it still cost a lot more than I care to spend. The movies are a nice time out once in a great while, but I think I'll stick with renting DVDs for the most part. As for the movie, it was all right. Same ole' thriller plot, different character. It was predictable, but Dylan Walsh makes a great actor. He plays on Nip/Tuck. That show is one of my guilty pleasures. Full of raunch and manipulation, and oh so good.
The next night I rented "The Haunting in Connecticut" on DVD. Now that's a movie worth the screams. I wouldn't recommend letting the kiddos watch it (as I did not) but it's a great horror movie to get psyched for Halloween. Along with the movie theme, my husband came home after work last night bringing pizza and "Transformers 2".
I usually wait to buy movies until I can get them on sale at the video store as a previously viewed special. Unfortunately, the local video stores didn't have Transformers 2 for sale yet and we sooooo wanted to see it. In my opinion, it's worth paying full price for. Full of action and special effects. I liked the first one better, as it showed more of the Transformers characters throughout. But the second one didn't disappoint either.
I attended a birthday party for my sister last weekend and it gave me pause. I've always been thankful for my family. But that party, for some unknown reason, made me stop and think of how awesome my family is. We are all very strong-willed and opinionated, so sometimes it makes for disagreements. But I know I can always, no matter what, count on my family in time of need. We get together often and we have each other's backs. We put the "fun" in dysfunctional and I'm all right with that.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I also appreciate the movie advice. I hoping one of these days i'll get to go again since the 10 month old keeps me non stop busy.
I'm the same way with movies. At least the popcorn was free.
Have a great RTT!

We buy used dvds too. At least half of our dvd library is used. I always go to the matinee to save money. I can't pay night rates. It costs the same amount to buy the movie later.
