Five on Friday - November 13, 2015

Hey, hey -- we made it to Friday!  This is my birthday weekend and I've been excited for Friday to roll around all week.  Let's get started with my Five on Friday.

1.  By The Sea
If you love Mr. and Mrs. Pitt (Brad and Angelina), this movie's for you.  By The Sea features both of them in leading roles and opens today.  Here's the storyline from Movie Insider: "By the Sea follows an American writer named Roland (Pitt) and his wife, Vanessa (Jolie Pitt), who arrive in a tranquil and picturesque seaside resort in 1970s France, their marriage in apparent crisis. As they spend time with fellow travelers, including young newlyweds Lea (Laurent) and François (Poupaud), and village locals Michel (Arestrup) and Patrice (Bohringer), the couple begins to come to terms with unresolved issues in their own lives."

2.  My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
While we're on the subject of movies, did you see the trailer for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2?  It is set to release March 25, 2016 and I'm pretty darn excited about seeing it.  Looks like this is going to be another hilarious movie.  Check out the trailer.



3.  Ebates
With Christmas right around the corner, many of us are starting to do some shopping online.  If you're not a member of Ebates, now is the time to join!  Click HERE and get started.  Ebates is the easiest way to get free money that I know.  You simply go to the Ebates site, type in the business you're wanting to shop at, and click on that business.  There are tons of company participating like J C Penneys, Walmart, Amazon, Loft, Lowe's -- the list goes on and on.  You shop your little heart out and then quarterly they send you over a big fat Ebates check.  Love it!!  Free feel to message me if you have any questions about it.  Seriously, sign up today!

4.  Star Wars Battlefront
Get ready -- Star Wars Battlefront is hitting the stores next Tuesday, November 17.  Is this on your kiddos Christmas list?  To be honest with you, I don't play video games.  But as a mother of a boy, I've purchased plenty of them in my day.  If you're in the market for this video game, here's something you should definitely know - Amazon Bonus Offer: Pre-order from Amazon.com and be the first to battle on planet Jakku with 2 additional maps.  How cool would that be?!?  Just click HERE to purchase and make the video players in your house the happiest little gamers in town.

5.  In honor of my upcoming birthday....


Now let's get on with the weekend!  What fun things do you have planned?  I'm looking forward to some shopping and time with friends and family.  Oh, and I also need to put the Halloween decorations away and get out the Thanksgiving ones (yes, running a bit late on this!).  Whatever you do, make it a great one!  Stop back by on Monday to see what happened around here.

  3. Happy Birthday!!!!!! I'm really excited to see By the Sea! I love Brad Pitt in all forms! I haven't really experienced the joys of Ebates. I always felt like there has to be a catch, or somehow it wasn't legitimate. I'll have to check it out! I am beyond stokes for my big fat greek wedding 2. Can't wait!

    I hope you have a wonderful birthday weekend! =)

  7. I couldn't agree with you more on that quote. So many don't get the opportunity to live a long life, we are blessed for each day we are on this earth and often take so much for granted. Wise words lady.

    Have a fabulous weekend my friend xo

  8. That Brangelina movie looks intriguing. I hadn't heard of it til now. Sounds more on the serious, heartfelt side. I wouldn't mind going to see it on a date night, it sounds perfect for that!

  9. By the Sea has to be a good one because most of the critics are tearing it to pieces. That's usually a good sign that I'll love it! :) The last time I complained about getting older, my husband told me I probably wouldn't like the alternative. I stopped complaining. And I love that quote!

  17. My current favorite thing to say is "I don't know how to act my age, I've never been this old before!" I hope this weekend you forget how to act your age for a bit.

  18. Hmm.. I'm interested with the 'By The Sea' movie of the Pitt couple. Maybe I should watch it sooner. I agree with the quote you shared, we shouldn't regret growing old. Have a blast on your birthday!
