I Wish Everyday Could Be A Weekend

Seriously, the weekends just go bye way too fast. This weekend, I spent it relaxing and catching up on things I needed to do around the house. I'm down to less than two weeks till my Jamaican getaway and I can't wait! We've been counting down the days. I'm ready for the warm weather and the beach!

Since it's freezing cold in these parts, I went on a hunt for a good sweater. On Saturday, I found this little beauty at Old Navy.

I also picked up a cute necklace at Charming Charlies. Since I hadn't fed my accessories addiction in awhile, I thought why not! But I'm slacking on the photo taking since it was the SAG Awards last night! 

I wish a few more of the winners would have shown up. Kate Winslet, where were you?!?! 

Some women that I thought looked fabulous...

Now it's on to the Oscars!! 

10 Day YOU Challenge: Day 10

Day 10: Ten Secrets! 
I honestly don't have any secrets. In fact, let's do a question and answer post! Ask me anything! No topic is off limits. Ask away!

Theater Thursday

It's Thursday and that can only mean one thing... it's Theater Thursday! January has been dedicated to totally awesome 90's movies. This week's featured movie is, Man of the House.

When Jack (Chevy Chase) falls in love with his girlfriend, Sandy (Farrah Fawcett), they decide to take it to the next step and move in together. Jack wants to marry Sandy but first he realizes he'll need to win over Sandy's son, Ben (Jonathan Taylor Thomas aka JTT). 

From the very beginning Ben (JTT) wants nothing to do with Jack (Chase). He doesn't like the fact that it's going from just him and his mom to the three of them. Ben sets out to make Jack's life miserable. He keeps pulling all kinds of stunts on Jack and even enrolls in a Native American group that's for fathers and sons. 

What Ben is unaware of is that someone wants to cause real harm to Jack because of his job as a lawyer and a case he's dealing with. A weekend in the woods with the Native American group turns out to be a true test to their relationship and if they'll make it out alive thanks to the goons who show up trying to cause trouble for Jack. 

If you've never seen this classic 90's movie. It's a must... and better yet it's got the teen heart throb JTT in it!

The Story of Us: From His Point of View

Last week I posted the story of us and how we started dating, from my point of view. Now after asking Josh, he willingly agreed to tell his side of the story and how he remembers it. Enjoy!

This is the story of how Jennifer and I met and began dating. Early in the year, I thought she was interested in one of my co-workers. I knew she had been texting with him and when she told me that they hadn't hung out that's when Jennifer and I started talking. 


The first date Jennifer and I had, we went to the movies. I was so nervous because I really liked her and I wasn't sure if it was a hang out as friends or a date. As we got to know each other more, I really fell in love with her. We like the same movies, music, travels and food. The second time we hung out, we went to get ice cream. We were having a great time laughing and getting to know each other. I tried to kiss her and she pulled away and started laughing! So did I because it was like neither one of us knew what to do. 


A few months later we went to California and I think that's when both of us knew we were meant to be together. We had the best time even though the trip home was stressful because the flights were crazy and she had to work the next morning. BUT we made it. 


I can honestly say that I am so glad she has come into my life. She is so good to me and my son. We both love her so much and I am so glad I have found someone who loves me for who I am and I don't have to be someone I'm not. I love her more than anything and she means the world to me. 


So there you have it. That's the story of us from both of our perspectives. 

To Read or Not to Read?

Last night, I finally gave in. I watched the movie, Eat Pray Love. 

If there's a book and it becomes a movie, I usually try to read the book before watching the movie. Leading up to the movie coming out, I had seen tons and tons of mixed reviews about the book. I waited months and months to watch the movie because I wanted to read the book first. Well... I haven't been able to read the book still. I've been making my way through a stack of books and just haven't bought it. 


Now that I've seen the movie, I'm intrigued. I'm sure there's things in the book that the movie left out. But really... I'm most intrigued by the relationship that she forms. Maybe I should just read the second book she wrote as a follow up, Committed? 


So what do you say? Have you read the book and seen the movie? Should I give the book a read? Or should I skip the first book altogether and just read Committed? 

Theater Thursday

Continuing with the January theme of great 90's movies, it's Theater Thursday! This week's featured movie is, The Truman Show. 

Truman (Jim Carrey) is a major celebrity. There's only one problem... he doesn't know it. Truman has lived his entire life in front of the cameras, on television, live 24/7. Truman was born in front of the cameras and his life has been the entertainment for everyone who tunes into watch. 


The producer Christof (Ed Harris) of his life and one of the people who controls, the contained world that Truman lives in, is starting to have some trouble keeping Truman contained in the world they created especially for him. After and incident, in which the man who played Truman's father comes back into life after his supposed death, Truman begins to question all of the things that go on around him. 


As the people in his life, his wife Meryl (Laura Linney) and his best friends begin to realize that if the truth comes out they'll no longer be on tv. They try to help contain Truman and subdue his fears. But as we've all learned... The truth will always come to light.
