High Five Freezing Friday

It is colder today in East Lansing than it is in Anchorage, Alaska. It is colder even than Antarctica. It is FREEZING!!! Perfect for catching up on my reading, otherwise known as the Friday High Five.

1. Oscar Night
I'm not sure that I've seen any of the movies nominated for Best Picture this year, but last weekend I finally watched Silver Linings Playbook, which turned out to be a great movie! If you are looking for a nice family movie I highly recommend Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Keep an eye out for Steph, the girl at the yoga class--she is from my hometown!
