If You Liked This.....

Then sign this...(thanks Avery Bleu for bringing this to my attention!)

Twilight: The Movie

I received Twilight from Netflix last Wednesday and waited ever so patiently for my friend Avery to finish the book so we could watch together. On Sunday we gathered together with some popcorn and eagerness for a boy named Edward.

Sadly, I was not a fan of the movie at all. I didn't hate it, but I was most definitely not feeling the enthusiasm for Twilight the movie as I had for the book. The connection between Bella and Edward was nothing special, those sensual moments between the two of them were non-existent and the cinematography of the film annoyed me more than anything. Yes Edward was hot, but his accent was bizarre, and I found myself more attracted to James than Edward which is not true when reading the book.

I am hopeful that since New Moon has a new director, I will enjoy it better than Twilight. Thoughts?

Song Of The Week: When The Sun Goes Down


Whenever I hear When The Sun Goes Down, it evokes summertime, tropical vibes. (Just the mood I am going for with Mexico just a few days away) I dedicate this song to beautiful bride-to-be Jaime (big day on Friday!), as we used to jam tough to this song when we were roomies. Love you girl! Can't wait for Friday!

Happy March Madness Weekend!


My plans this weekend include happy hour, visiting the passport agency (ugh), spa day with the girls and fitting some basketball games in there somewhere....

Here's hoping your brackets are going well and you have a ball this weekend!

Forever Frugal Friday

In my attempt to pack efficiently for my trip to Mexico next week (must carry on as connecting flight is too close for comfort), I sorted through my swimsuits and noticed that I do not own a simple, black bikini. Well lucky for me, Forever is carrying swimsuits now, and this Ruffle Trim Bikini is exactly what I am looking for, at exactly the right price.

Now I just need to find the amazing flat abs to go with it...any ideas ;)

  • Forever in Blue Jeans & Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
  • Mony, Mony - Billy Idol
  • Twist & Shout - The Beatles

Anything you can suggest (knowing that there will also be parents and grandparents there) would be greatly appreciated!
