Bride Wars and PJ Pants

Tuesday night some girlfriends and I went to see Bride Wars with Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Well, we weren’t exactly with Kate and Anne, but I’m sure they would have had fun with us!

Cute, cute movie! A definite chick flick and thoroughly enjoyable. I know some of the media reviews haven’t been the best, but we all know those don’t necessarily mean anything.

We’re already making plans to go see “He’s Just Not That Into You” in February.


On a different note, Brady is wearing his puppy pajama shorts underneath his corduroy pants today. He just wanted to wear the pajama shorts and nothing else to school, but that just wasn’t happening. So the compromise was to wear them under his pants. The lesson learned – choose your battles wisely!

What happened?

Brady is 3 ½. Just a few months ago he was addicted to Little Einsteins and the Wiggles. Mickey Mouse is still popular, too, and he does occasionally still watch his other shows, but now we’ve moved on to more “boy” stuff. Like:


Batman

Spiderman

And The Incredible Hulk


Where did my baby go? Isn’t 3 ½ too early for stuff like this? Soon it will be wrestlers and Wii’s and a BMX bike!

Golden Globes Fashion Review

So who watched the Golden Globes on Sunday night? I love award shows, so this is my favorite time of year, and the Globes did not disappoint!

My favorites

Eva Longoria Parker

I think she’s gorgeous!


Amy Adams

I love the dress, but I wish they had pulled her hair up off her face.

Sandra Bullock

I’m so happy to see her back on the red carpet. She’s such a breath of fresh air.

Christina Applegate

She looks amazing considering the year she had. I so wish I could wear yellow.

Anne Hathaway

What color is this dress? Blue or purple? I think this may be one that showed up better in person than on camera, but she still looks great.

Kate Winslet

Perfection! I absolutely love her!


The Worst

Drew Barrymore

I’m still a little undecided on this, but the hair definitely pushes it into the worst column.

Renee Zweleger

Two words: Train Wreck! Carolina Herrera disappointed here.

Happy Monday!

Good morning! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

We had a lot going on, particularly Brady. He got to make his first trip here:


I really thought he would pick out the T-Rex, but he went with a black bear instead. I guess because I kept saying we were going to “Build a Bear,” he thought he should get bear. It’s sporting a soccer uniform and he named it Captain Jack.

He also had a birthday party Saturday afternoon at Monkey Joe’s. This was our first trip to MJ and I was utterly unimpressed. We’ve been to three parties at Pump It Up (including Brady’s this past year) and it’s so much nicer, mostly because you have the arena to yourself. At MJ’s, it’s open to the public at the same time. It was just out of control. The kids had fun and the party was nice, but I could definitely pass on a return trip.

My big score for the weekend was a Martha Stewart bedding set at Macy’s. We’ve been looking for a new bedding set since ours is about 8 years old and we went in Macy’s while we were at the mall on Saturday. They were having a big sale and while the bedding I originally wanted was out of stock, we found another set that works great. The killer? It was originally $500 for the set – comforter, bedskirt, regular shams, euro shams, sheet set, two decorative pillows and curtains. It was huge! The price was marked down to $99 and when I scanned it, it was marked down even more to $49. Plus I had a gift card, so total out-of-pocket? $0! I tried to find a picture online, but it’s not available. Anyway, our bedroom has been totally transformed and I love it!Have a wonderful weekend! Tomorrow I’ll have a review of the Golden Globes!

Windy Weather

Updated: My appointment is rescheduled for next Wednesday. Oh well. Such is life.

Good morning! It's been raining and windy and stormy - oh my! I love the rain, but I can't deal with wind. It does nothing for your hair!

I just got a call that my doctor is ill and they have to reschedule my appointment. Grrru!
Hopefully there's another doctor available so I can get this over with. I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for the prayers!

Happy Wednesday!

Monday, Monday

Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Ours was good. Nothing too eventful, but good. We went to the zoo and the mall on Saturday, church on Sunday and babysat our friends’ two girls so they could go celebrate his birthday.

I’m feeling out of sorts today. I’ve felt this way for a week now (on and off), so I’m going to the doctor on Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully it’s nothing, but I would appreciate a few prayers!
Happy Monday!

2009

Welcome to 2009! Did everyone have a good New Year’s Eve? We went to our friend’s party and were home by 10:30pm. They have a dog and my allergies were really bothering me, so I took allergy medicine as soon as I got home and was asleep by 11:15pm. We’re such the party animals, aren’t we?

What does everyone have planned for the New Year? I’m doing goals more than resolutions this year. I’m still working on them, so I’ll post them whenever I’m finished. We do have some plans for this year that I can go ahead and share.

Brady will be starting swimming lessons in February. I hope to take some myself later in the year. Yes, you would be right to assume that I cannot swim. My husband doesn’t understand how someone who is 28 years old cannot swim, but he just doesn’t understand my family. We weren’t big water people. We went to the beach in December, for crying out loud!

My girlfriends and I are planning a girl's weekend in early April. We're thinking either Charleston or Savannah. I've never been to either, so I'll be excited no matter where we go!

We’re hoping to take a trip to Disney World in May. You can’t even imagine how excited I am to take Brady and see it all through his eyes. We’ve already promised him breakfast with Mickey and a thousand other fun things. I’m hoping to book the trip next week.

And one other big plan that I can’t quite bring myself to share yet. But if it happens, you’ll know! Any guesses?

Have a wonderful weekend!
