What I am Reading

Reading this and love it. Very inspiring.

Team Edward

I make no apologies for the lack of posts these past few days. I have been working a lot and when I am not with my family and working, I have recently become obsessed with the Twilight books. Yes that's right, I have succumbed to the teen drama that millions of people have already been addicted to (I know about a few years late).

It all started when I rented Twilight to see what all the hype was about. Well...let's just say I am team Edward all the way (with a body like Jacob)! Overall I thought the movie was good since my expectations were low. I had heard from many that the movie was good or okay but the books are awesome.

What can I say, I am a hopeless romantic. If Edward approached me in a dark alley I would surrender my neck in a heartbeat. Titanic - loved it, Splendor in the Grass - one of my all time favorite movies, The Way We Where - always drop everything to watch it every time it's on, The Notebook - cried like a baby, etc. etc.

So if you haven’t read the books, what’s all the hype about? It’s a modern day Romeo and Juliet with a twist. Edward the male lead is the perfect male; gorgeous, sexy, charming, polite, a protector, dangerous, wealthy and extremely intelligent. Okay so he’s a vampire and drinks blood - nobody’s perfect.
Bear with me I will post again and not about Twilight. Until then if you are looking for an escape – might I suggest you join the phenomenon.

Where The Wild Things Are

In case you haven't heard, this classic children's book was made into a movie and I am intrigued.  I love the book and have since I was a child.  For me it's right up there with The Giving Tree, Amelia Badelia, How to Eat Fried Worms and Ramona Quimby, Age 8.  I hope the movie does not dissappoint and to get us all in the mood, here are some fun Wild Things accoutrements.

The Book available at Amazon.com

Puzzles available here.

Posters available here.

Make a Date with Your Girl Friends

Mark your calendars because what looks like a really good chick flick releases August 14, The Time Travelers Wife. You have got to watch the trailer for this movie here. I never read the book but the trailer alone made me tear up!

My friends that have read the book said it is a beautiful love story and a MUST READ. I get silly excited over things like this. I love a date night with my girl friends; good food, good wine and a great tear jerky. The perfect evening out and a definite mommy-must-have!

Great Beach Read

Sorry for the limited posts this week. I am in the Dominican Republic enjoying the sun, sand and pina coladas! I promise to post one more time this week before I return on Saturday.

Until then, here is a great beach read, Stori Telling by Tori Spelling. She spills all the details of her priviledged life, loving father and disfunctional relationship with her mother. It's an easy, mindless and entertaining read, that promises to not dissapoint.

Plus get the back story on the 90210 gang. SAUCY!
