Well, Well, Well.. it’s Wednesday. And we’ve STILL got beautiful weather all around! I mean.. take a look at what is to come…
(Let’s ignore Friday’s chillier temps with rain. Does that even matter? It will be Friday.. and that means it is just about the weekend!)
It is fitting that today is going to be a beautiful day with temperatures reaching the mid 60′s (likely higher)… because today is also the day we celebrate the birthday of a beautiful woman!
Let's Have Cake and Lick the Frosting off the Candles!
My mother! Happy Birthday, MOM!!
Another thing I love is the temperature for Sunday. Sunny.. High of 58*.. Low of 42*. I’ve failed to mention this.. but I am running a little 4 mile race on Sunday with Justin! It will be Justin’s first real race (besides the little one we did for my school.. which was not really.. real).
Justin has finally finished his busy season at work.. which means I get to see him during the week (and not just on weekends). The greulling busy season also kept Justin’s running and gym visits to a minimum.. but he has been working hard for the past week or so to really have a great race!
I am very excited for him! (And even more excited that I don’t feel like I am living alone anymore!) So that beautiful weather will CERTAINLY make the run one to remember! Can’t ask for much more in the middle of MARCH!
Movie Apps
Do you guys have RedBox near you?!
We have them at many of our local store.. the food store, some gas stations, Walmart, Walgreens… and I am sure many more!
While we do have Netflix – occasionally Justin and I will stop at a RedBox when we feel like having a movie night.. but don’t have anything on hand from Netflix.
Or.. have some movie about aliens, science fiction, fantasy, or weird wars…which don’t particularly tickle my fancy..
Redbox has a pretty good selection of movies with new releases.. as well as some older movies! The one thing that USUALLY happens to Justin and I .. is that we get to a Redbox – and they are OUT of the movie we were really hoping to rent.
And then we found a solution.
Hello, Redbox App. Thank you for kindly gracing my iPhone Screen with your presence. You have taken the guess work out of renting a movie from Redbox.
Basically, you search for the movie you would like to rent…
Select it and enter your zip code…
And then it magically finds the RedBoxes near you where the movie is available!
You can reserve the movie by creating an account and entering a credit card number! You have until 9:00pm that day to get to the Redbox, swipe your card.. and pick up your movie!
Now, when Justin and I have a particular movie we want to get from Redbox, we will certainly be using this app!
———————————-
Do you rent from RedBox.. or something similar to it?!
What is the best movie that you have seen lately? We loved 50/50 and I also enjoyed What’s Your Number.. but I am COUNTING down the days until HUNGER GAMES hits the theaters! Can’t wait to see it!

I like redbox, but I ALWAYS forget to return the movies. For example, I rented The Help on Saturday….and it’s STILL sitting on the coffee table. ugh. — I really liked The Help. I’m totally late to the game on that, but it was a good movie.

We have a redbox app to get free movies. My boyfriend has netflix so we usually just stream or download, but we do love redbox!

It’s crazy how different your forecast is from ours and we’re basically within an hour of each other. Sat and Sun are supposed to be 71 and sunny here!

I think it has changed a little bit since I took that screen shot! The rain seems to have gone away and it might be a tad warmer! We are always about 5 degrees cooler than inland too because we get the breeze from the sound.
I use this app ALL the time! I love it! I hate when you go to the redbox and are teased with the movie you want displaying on the outside and scroll through the lists of movies you don’t care to see, with them then telling you the movie you want is gone! Oh the torture haha

Oh, that’s so cool! I haven’t tried RedBox yet, but my brother and his wife use it all the time. We really should rent a movie this weekend!

I highly suggest it! It’s a buck! Can’t go wrong with that!
You are my app-resource. This is going to make my life MUCH easier.
The weather here is nuts – we are supposed to hit record highs around 80 tomorrow! I’m not complaining.

ahahh! So glad I could be of help, Laura!
I will never complain about the weather… but my students are already getting spring fever. In March. It is going to be a long haul to June!
Ahh! YAY! I love using RedBox and I’m also a fan of Blockbuster Express. Thanks for the info
Oh, and the weather is ridiculously gorgeous here in Orlando too. Maybe that’s why everyone seems to be in a great mood?
Great post!
I know I sure have been in a FANTASTIC mood all week because of the weather!
