We are still walking and have managed to work our way up to 2 miles per day. I takes us about an hour but the difficulty is increasing as we try to find streets that go up hill. I am not saying we are official street walkers but we are quite a sight. Mama M usually wears a sweatshirt, a knitted watch cap, gloves and a jacket with a hood. I normally wear a tee shirt, a jacket and a baseball cap on bad hair days only. Some people might say everyday is a bad hair day for me but as long as I don't look like Gumby, I am okay walking without the hat.

After our walk this morning, Mama M took a shower and went to run errands. I did some yard work, including trimming the palms, putting down weed cloth and covering it with the new rubberized mulch. I am so sore and stiff that I don't know if I can make it up the stairs tonight. Mama M might need to wrap a rope around me and drag me up the stairs.

We are trying to see all 10 of the Oscar nominated movies before Oscar night. We have seen 3 so far and here is our opinion on those.

Avatar
We LOVED it!!! We sprung for the extra $3.50 to see it in 3D and it was worth every penny. It is hard to believe that James Cameron envisioned this amazing movie down to having a botanist name all of the vegetation in the movie.

Up In The Air
Another George Clooney movie where he plays George Clooney. We really do not understand how this one got into the running.

The Hurt Locker
We enjoyed this movie even though it is hard to watch. It really looks more like a documentary than a Hollywood movie. It makes it difficult not to have strong negative feelings about the citizens in Iraq. I have to remember that we have people in this country who might react the same way if we were invaded by another country.

We have also seen Julie and Julia, Crazy Heart and It's Complicated.

By far, the movie we have enjoyed the most was It's Complicated. This movie is laugh-out-loud funny.

Julie and Julia is a cute movie to watch but I am not sure that male viewers would enjoy it as much.

Crazy Heart is like a generic version of A Star is Born, the Country Music version. Jeff Bridges does a great job but the story was predictable.
