Pouring out of my face

Last night was a very emotional night in my apartment. When I say this, I'm not trying to sound all emo and get you all to feel bad for me. I strictly cried my eyes out last night due to two of what I vote to be some of the saddest movies ever. In other words, "Good Cry Movies".

It started with Becca browsing our movie selection and asking what Seven Pounds was about.

I am perfectly fine with the fact that I love checking out Will Smith when he's shirtless, despite his age.

[Now before I go any further, I am going to highly recommend you watch both movies I am about to discuss, but only when you are completely willing to cry your eyes out, because YOU WILL CRY, don't even think you won't....and if you don't...you have no soul.]

Anyways, Seven Pounds basically cannot be explained more than, it is a movie with Will Smith (one of my favorite actors) and it is very good but incredibly sad. So the easiest way to understand what it is about, is to watch it. Which is what I told Becca. So that was movie number one, and I'll leave you with Becca's reaction after it ended:

"At first, I didn't think I was going to cry, and I thought I had no soul...but then it all hit me and tears just started POURING out of my face!"

So after we finished watching Good Cry Movie #1, we got into a discussion about what other incredibly sad movies we had seen...which eventually led to Becca , Tom and myself bonding over our mutual love for Moulin Rouge.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love,  and be loved in return."

This turned into a "If you give a mouse a cookie" situation, because if you get the three of us talking about Moulin Rouge, we're going to want to eventually watch the movie.  So despite the fact that we were already emotionally drained, and that it was 10:30 at night, we started up Good Cry Movie #2.

What's perfect is that Kelan returned home as soon as GCM#2 was nearing the end...aka when the water works really kick in for me. Which had him genuinely concerned asking, "Oh honey, are you going to make it?!" And no, no I wasn't, to be quite honest.

So I hope you all can relate with me on how sad both of these movies are. Like I said, if you haven't seen them, get on that. I will end this subject with one more movie suggestion for you all: The Impossible, which is still in theaters. We will name this Good Cry Movie #3. It is about the Tsunami of 2004...need I say more? And yes, as you might have guessed by this point, I love Ewan McGregor.

On another note, I am currently awaiting the results of my first crockpot venture! I received a crockpot for Christmas (thanks mom and dad!), and have been wanting to make a crockpot recipe ever since. I was just waiting to stumble across the perfect recipe. I think I might have found it, Cheeseburger Joe Sandwiches. Like sloppy joes but cheesier and better! (Hopefully...) So stay tuned to see how the loss of my crockpot virginity went...and for my review of said recipe in my next post. I'll try not to keep you all waiting in anticipation for too long!

Don't let me down.

Any Good Cry Movie suggestions/experiences to share?
Feel free to share a yummy crockpot recipe with this newbie over here. (please and thank you).
