The Oscars!

/ Paul / Leave a comment

I spent the last few days trying to watch as many Best Picture nominees before the Oscars. I was able to watch 6 of the 8 movies. Here are the ones I watched:

None of the ones I saw won the Best Picture Oscar. It was Green Book. Of course, I need to see that one now. Also, I need to see Vice and The Favourite, the others nominated for Best Picture.

I guessed 13 out of 20 correct. Here are some other winners:

Best Actor: Rami Malek for Bohemian Rhapsody
Best Actress: Olivia Colman for The Favourite
Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali for Green Book
Best Supporting Actress: Regina King for If Beale Street Could Talk
Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron for Roma

I watched the entire show and loved it! But then again I love movies and the Oscars so of course I would watch it and enjoy it.

I walked a total of 1.99 miles today.

The Oscars Are Coming

I spent most of the day watching movies that have been nominated for an Oscar for best picture. The last movie I watched was A Star is Born with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. I thought she did a great job at acting and at singing all the songs. Bradley was okay at both. I’m not sure if this one will win an Oscar or not. We’ll see.

I did make time to walk today. I walked a total of 2.47 miles with .80 on the treadmill.

Merry Christmas!

I’m alone on Christmas as is usually the case. My husband goes to New Orleans to spend it with his family. My family no longer does any Christmas activities together so I don’t go anywhere.

I decided to lay on the couch and watch Christmas movies all day. And I had some hot chocolate after the Christmas Monkey was done with it.

I only walked .76 miles today. No workout. No exercise app.

It’s Christmas Eve!

Happy Christmas Eve! Today I went to the grocery store to get a few things. I figured they’d be closed tomorrow. I also did several things around the house that needed to get done. I put things off until I have some time by myself to do them. That’s what I did.

Today the Christmas Monkey got into the Hersey’s Kisses. He wanted to eat them all!

In the evening I continued to watch Christmas movies. I also got into a marathon of Forensic Files on the HLN channel. I woke up on the couch at 2:30 AM! Then I went to bed.

I was very lazy today. I only walked a total of 1.63 miles. No exercise app today.

He Went To New Orleans

Today my husband left to go to New Orleans. He is sending the week with his family to celebrate Christmas. He says I can go each year but I decide not to. I spent the time by myself doing things I like to do while he’s gone. It is good to have some time away from time to time.

I spent the day cleaning up and watching Christmas movies. This evening I watched Holiday Inn. It’s one of my favorites. It seems that most of my favorite Christmas movies were made in the 1940s. They have just the right feel to enjoy the holiday.

Using the exercise app I did a workout of 1.08 miles. I didn’t walk on the treadmill though. I was doing things around the house and moving fast enough to get my heart rate up. I didn’t close the exercise ring but I did close the others. I think this week is going to be slow in the exercise area but I’ll get back to it next week in the new year.
