Because of Winn Dixie is one of the best "feel good" movies I have ever seen. The plot is pretty simple. A young girl moves to a new town with her dad. She has problems making friends, and finds a stray dog, that she names Winn Dixie. With the help of Winn Dixie, she soon starts to make friends. There is a point in the movie where even Brian's eyes were a little wet. I was totally sobbing........anyway, the ending is perfect, and no the dog does not die!!
I recommend this movie to everyone! I'm putting it on my favorites list!
4 stars for me!!

Well, the saddest day of my life has finally happend. Fletcher went off to kindergarten today. I think I was ok with it, until he got on the school bus this morning. Oh my gosh!!!!! He was so excited, not scared or the least bit nervous. It was like he was an old pro and had done this before. Now, I was crying like a baby. I mean, come on, that's my baby getting on that bus. It seems like just yesterday he was a baby. I know he is only five, but the past 5 years have just flown by. I am very sad about this whole thing. Chase was crying too when Fletcher got on the bus, saying, " I want my Fletcher!" I can tell you right now, Chase is NEVER going to school!!!
I am very sad about my boys getting older. I like having them home with me.
I want to run over to the school and peek through the windows to check on him.

I am not a consistent reader. Most of the time I will read half of a book and then just stop for no apparent reason. Or I will take many breaks in finishing the book. However, with Bruce Campbell's newest book, I broke that slump. I finished this one in about 4 or 5 days worth of reading (in which the second half of the book was read in one day). It is much like his movies, full of cheese and sillyness and full of laughs. It's fictional, however the premise seems as though it's based on his actual life (which I'm not sure it isn't). If you want a quick, light read in between your more serious endeavors, check this one out!

I'm glad Bruce Campbell came to town and I got to meet him, otherwise I probably would not have read this one. Now, I need to go pick up his first book: If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Star, before I can say Groovy.
