"seriously? its like your photoshopped"

Going to the movies is one of my favorite things to do. I also love buying movies and most people think I own far too many. Movies just make me happy. I can't get enough.

Recently I have gone to see a couple at the theaters. I went with my sister in law Sue and her friend Serena to see Water for Elephants. Sue and I had both read the book so we were so excited to see how the movie turned out. I really liked the movie a lot. One I will definitely have to pick up when it gets released.

Then after Sue's baby shower, Whitney and I decided to go and see Bridesmaids. It was very funny and just a little naughty :) But the weird thing is there were all these older couples there seeing the movie too. They all had to be at least in their late 60s or 70s. Very odd...but entertaining.

This summer there are so many movies that are coming out that I am very excited about! The first one is Crazy Stupid Love with Steve Carrell and Ryan Gosling. It looks fantastic!



The second one is the Change Up. I love Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman. It looks like its gonna be a good one.



Another one I am excited for is The Help. I read this book a few months back and absolutely loved it. The movie looks even better than the book so I CANNOT wait to see it!



p.s. I highly recommend you read the book if you want to see the movie. It's so good!

Put 'em in the wash, they'll be grand

Growing up my family was never really into holidays that much. The only holiday we decorate our house for is Christmas but I think it's kind of against the law not to (and if it's not it should be). But I have always loved St. Patrick's Day. Green is my absolute favorite color and St. Paddy's Day means that Spring is right around the corner! In elementary school my friends and I used to spend hours on end searching for four leaf clovers in the field at recess--I never found one. But this morning, even though I have nothing really important to do today, I got ready and put on my abstract shamrock print skirt and new cute white, strappy sandals. I feel very festive and I love it!

If you couldn't tell by the red tones in my hair and my pale, virtually untannable skin, I am Irish. Just a little but still it's there and let me tell you, those genes are very dominate! But hey, I have come to embrace it. It's who I am and I'm fine with that. So in honor of that and this glorious day, I have decided to celebrate with a little movie marathon. First Leap Year, then P.S. I Love You, and finally The Luck of the Irish.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

happiness...

Guess what! I finally made it through the "B" movies! Whitney and I had a Bourne movie marathon on Saturday which was fantastic....except the fact I kinda had a headache when I left. Watching all three in one day was more ambitious than I thought it would be. But I still had a lot of fun. Then after I got home I watched all the Brian Regan dvds that I have and yesterday finished out the Bs with Bride Wars. I forgot how great that movie is. So silly.

Anyway, I am now officially onto the Cs. First up--Can't Buy Me Love! I can't wait!

I also got to see one of my favorite Christmas movies last night. I have been waiting all year and it was finally on. And bonus--I saw a commercial this morning. Its gonna be on again tonight! I think I may have to just watch it again.

(I promise not all I do is watch tv)

My dad finally finished all the work in the basement so now I have a place to workout again. For the past little while he has been closing off our storage room from the rest of the basement and walling it all off so its not so cold down there. Its finally done and looks great. And my room stays nice and toasty now. My dad also put in a cinnamon scented filter in our furnace yesterday so now our entire house smells like cinnamon. That always makes me happy.

It SNOWED! I love the first snowfall of the year. I love the smell of it especially. It is finally starting to feel like Christmas. It is definitely my favorite time of the year. I also bought the Glee Christmas album and have pretty much been listening to that non-stop for the past week.

(P.S. I am so excited for this week's episode. I LOVE Carol Burnett!)

Vegas is officially happening! Okay it has been official for a while now but I am getting more and more excited. Its going to be so great! I think I wanna buy a new camera before we go. Mine has kinda lived its life.

I found two pairs of jeans that I totally forgot I had yesterday. I decided to go through my dresser and clean out the things that I don't wear anymore and I found them. I have been thinking that I need new jeans but now I don't. Can't beat that.

you'll never know what Meryl Streep looks like

I've been slowly making my way through my movie collection and although I haven't yet finished the "B" movies, I couldn't wait to put up some quotes. This time I put more than one per movie. Go ahead, guess!

(Here is a hint: They all start with "B")

#1 "Smashing? What, did he hit you over the head with his charm?"

"I've been to the moon"

"He's been to Europe.

He's from Europe."

#2 "My avatar's dressed like a whore."

"Expecting what? A social security check?"

"Your eggs are from, like the 40s."

#3 "There must be steroids in macaroni."

"Wow I always wondered who lived here. I just thought it was Clay Aiken or something."

"I didn't know athlete had 3 syllables. That's a-ma-za-zing."

#4 "We wasted the good surprise on you."

"What's your name? He'll write it on the wall."
"I have a belly button."

#5 "Suntan lotion is good for me. You protect me--tee hee hee."

"When I graduated first grade, all my dad did was tell me to get a job."

"Stop looking at me swan."

#6 "Well there is the usual things. Chocolates...flowers...promises you don't intend to keep."

"I've been burnt by you before."

"It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and thinking.."

#7 "It's a black...tank."

"You're not the devil. You're practice."

"Should've tipped better"

"You look very fashionable. Apart from the mud."

#8 "St. James Josh. It's religious!"

"Three dimes, a hundred dollar bill, and 87 ones."

"Wow...Thanks!"

#9 "Yeah Danny. That's usually how it works. Otherwise they arrest you and charge you with rape.

"Help! There is a blind kid driving this train!"

"Squidgy."

Come on, GUESS!

what a week

A lot has happened since the last time I posted but here are the highlights.

I have decided to start watching all my movies in alphabetical order. I don't know how long it will take me but I am quite excited.

I went and saw Thriller with my family and Whitney. I have seen it three times now and I think it is going to be a permanent Halloween tradition for me. I always end up leaving feeling like I wanna cry because I miss dancing so much.

Then I went to the Drowsy Chaperone with Miss Whit. We have waited so long for 2 and a half hours of pure bliss. No where near enough time. It ended way too fast but I thoroughly enjoyed it while it lasted. I really really wanna see it again very soon. Good thing its going to be at the Capital Theater next year. Yay!

I got to see a new episode of Glee this past week. Interesting...but still great. I'll love that show no matter what. My favorite part was Mike Chang. He had so many lines and even got to sing! Loved it!

Had planned a trip up to Logan on Friday but that ended up not happening. Probably a really good thing though. My dog had surgery in the morning and was supposed to stay there overnight but was sent home early so it was good I was home to help my dad bring him home. He was so groggy yesterday but today he is back to his normal self.

Whitney and I decided to make our own calendars for next year. It's a tradition of mine to get a silly calendar every year as you know. So far I've had Boyfriend of the month, Studs in Spurs, and Porn for Women (not what you may think). I have been trying to think of what I could get and then Whit came up with the most brilliant idea. A Matthew Morrison/Mike Chang calendar! I can't wait to get started on it!

updates

Alright I suck! I have totally been slacking on my blog posting even though I said I was going to post at least once a week...I didn't make it. Anyway I have a few things to tell all of you.

1. I went to the Josh Turner concert and I actually got to meet him! It was pretty epic. He signed my guitar! (I will try to post some pics of that later....)

2. I finally finished my new headboard. I know I said I was going to do a wood head and footboard but I totally changed my mind and went with just an upholstered headboard. It took quite a while to gather up the materials and finally finish it but it is done! My family and I put the final touches on it tonight and I think it turned out awesome! Check it out!

3. I learned the other day that Whitney is coming down sooner that planned so we can go see Step Up 3D! I can't wait. It's gonna be so cool!

4. I got some great new about the up coming glee episodes like...Britney, Michael, Figgins' Beat It, Nazi Hunter Carol Burnett, Mike Chang finally getting a bigger part (and a girlfriend--totally called that one!),...and much more but I think you get the point.

5. I had yet another Will Shuster dream. I was part of his glee club practicing the choreography and it was pretty awesome. All I could think of when I woke up was the line in the "Home" episode when April yells in the cabaret roller rink, "Will Shuster?! I had a sex dream about you last night!" Too funny

....I'm sure there is more that I am missing but I am going to call it good. If I think of anymore I will let you know. But now I am going to check out the meteor shower! Hope it's good!
