Avengers vs Iron Man: My BFF and I Decide

I'm a little late to the game, but considering that Avengers was the first movie I've seen in 6-9 months, I don't think I'm THAT late.  I admit it.  I wasn't that excited to see it.  I'm not usually a Marvel Comics type of person, although I did love the two Iron Man movies.  I was more excited to have a Diet Coke and movie-theater popcorn.  Other than dark chocolate with almonds, what goes better with a diet coke then popcorn.

My husband and I were trying to decide which is better Avengers or Iron Man.  Personally, I liked the Iron Mans better, because there was a lot more sexual tension with Gwyneth and Scarlett (IM II).  It gave the movie a little chick flick flare.  My husband liked Avengers better.  He still got to see Scarlett in a tight fitting outfit and there were more fight/battle scenes.  Like most moviegoers, we both loved it when the Hulk tossed around Loki like a rag doll.  Watch it again, if you like.

If you are undecided or on a tight budget, it's a great movie.  But if I had to choose, I'd wait and see Iron Man III.  My husband would choose Avengers.


In a different note, my BFF and I enjoyed a nice morning.  It's not raining!!!  A lot of the flowers are in bloom (not my favorite hydrangeas) and the yard looks pretty.  I'm trying to soak in the beauty around me, because I'm really struggling this morning.

One of the triplets fell out of bed last night.  He banged up his head and bloodied his nose.  It must have hurt a lot, because he cried loud enough to wake the other kids up. He never went back to sleep for more than ten minutes at a time, which means that I never went back to sleep.  My head actually hurts from being so tired.  I'm going to do my best not to drink too many DCs, but I do have to figure out how to make it through the day….wish me luck!
