"Olive Garden" and The Hunger Games!

I have quite the nice boyfriend! On Friday around lunch time he texted me to not worry about dinner plans for our Friday night. Later on he called to ask when I would be arriving at his place. I told him I was a few minutes from being ready to walk out the door to come over. When I arrived at his place I saw a sign hanging above his front door that read "Olive Garden". When I walked in he had ordered in an amazing Olive Garden meal complete with salad and breadsticks. It was a pleasant surprise, for sure! Since he had told me not to worry about planning out dinner earlier in the day, my mind had been racing over what he could possibly have planned. I love those sweet little surprises he comes up with! Thank you, my sweetness!

Well the millions and millions that the movie The Hunger Games has made now includes some of our money. We went to see it yesterday afternoon. I wasn't that interested because the plot just didn't sound so good. However, due to it being talked about so much lately and the many box office records it's broken, I became intrigued enough to want to see it. I'm glad we did too. Yes, the plot is based on something that none of us wants to comprehend....kids killing kids so their family can eat. It is deep and well put together. Definitely worth seeing! I have a friend that is completely fascinated by costumes and movie makeup so I would certainly recommend the movie to her. The makeup on Elizabeth Banks character makes her almost unrecognizable. As I said earlier today to my boyfriend I would rather see a movie that has some depth to it like The Hunger Games versus the raunchiness of a movie like The Hangover or Bridesmaids. And even a person like me that has trouble watching long movies did just fine sitting through the 2 and a 1/2 hours.
