An Award and a Review

I have been awarded the Kreativ Blog Award by sruble and Brenda! Woo hoo! Thank you ladies for thinking of me and my blog! I so appreciate your shout out! Now in return I must list seven things I love.
I’m kind of a goof, and I love to giggle and guffaw. My kids tell me I’m weird just about every day. I tell them normal is boooooooooring (as I do the moonwalk). Sometimes we have a family dance party to music videos. Other times all five of us talk like a robot all through dinner. We think of fun, creative ways to keep our every day life a little more interesting.
So obviously I enjoy funny movies. For my list of seven things, I am going to list my favorite comedic actors/actresses.
1. Will Ferrell – Old School and Elf are two of my favorite movies. Will performed the funniest characters on Saturday Night Live. He’s just a big, hairy goofball.
2. Paul Rudd – I just watched Paul host SNL a few weeks ago. He’s a perfect mix of cute and funny. Paul was hilarious in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The 40 Year Old Virgin, and Knocked Up.
3. Chevy Chase – My favorite movie character of all time is Clark Griswold. “Nuff said.
4. David Spade – I used to watch "The David Spade Show" where he would rip on various celebrities and movies. He’s sarcastic funny. He plays a snarky guy on TV oh so well.
5. Vince Vaughn – This big, towering man is another funny, sarcastic character. Who can forget “Ear muffs!” in Old School?
6. Amy Poehler/Tina Fey – Love these funny gals. They are awesome on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey’s dry humor on 30 Rock makes me chuckle.
7. Eddie Murphy – I enjoyed Eddie’s early stuff the most like Beverly Hills Cop and his stand up for Raw and Delirious had me rolling on the floor. My husband and I quote lines from Delirious all the time…”Lemonade, that cool, refreshing drink.”
Honorable Mention: Chris Farley – one big, funny dude. He is missed in the comedy world. Don’t do drugs, people!

In turn, I will tag some bloggers who have made me laugh once, twice, or twenty times with their creative wit. My Kreativ Blog nominations go to Carrie, Ben Esch, Christy, Suzanne, Murph, and Ello.

QUICK KILLERS CONCERT REVIEW
My husband and I had such a great time at the Killers concert last night. We were pretty close to the stage. I am amazed at how many hit songs they have in the four short years that they have been around. Prettyboy lead singer, Brandon Flowers, sounded just as smooth on vocals live as he does on the CDs. The Killers have such danceable songs so I was moving all night! Who needs the treadmill when you can dance for two hours?! The entire concert was phenomenal so it’s hard to pick my favorite parts, but my fave songs of the night were “Human,” “Spaceman,” “For Reasons Unknown,” and “Somebody Told Me.” Here are a few pics of the night!
