As I mentioned previously, I had a few hours to kill on New Year’s Eve waiting for midnight. The family had conked out, so I sat on my couch with Ryan Seacrest in the background and played around on my iPad.

Academy Awards Movie Madness- Zero Dark Thirty [Spoiler Alert- sort of!]
On Saturday night, my husband and I went to see Zero Dark Thirty. I label this post as “sort of” containing spoilers because I think we all know what this movie is about– the CIA operative that led to the killing of bin Laden–but I do let loose a couple of little details here, so Continue reading
