Movie Favoritos!

I've decided to write about a few of my favorite movies!

My highschool years:

"While You Were Sleeping" is a really cute film!  If you don't know the plot it's basically about a girl who is mistaken for the fiance of a coma victim and as she spends time with his family, she really falls for his brother.  Yes, it sounds weird. But this is a heartwarming film, with young Sandra!  It's a Christmas time movie and it makes me feel cozy and happy.





My college years:

"Party Monster" is a crrrrrrazy movie!  It's based on a true story from the Club world of NYC back in the 90's.  All of the costumes are so wild!  Plus Chloe Sevigny is in it, and she's a cool chick.

One of my most recent fave flicks:

Another true story, "Defiance" is a really fantastic movie.  It's about a group of brothers who escape the Nazi's in Europe and go on to build a village in the forrest that keeps thousands of Jews safe and hidden until the end of the war.

I'm no movie critic, but these are worth watching if you haven't seen.

We watched "The Next Three Days" last night which was good, a few interesting twists!

 I'm dragging today and it's only Monday!

How was everyone's weekend?

A Perfect Farewell Summer Weekend

Friday night my great friend Cyd celebrated her 26th birthday down at her family's beach house on Folly.  This house holds so many memories for all of us and never fails to induce complete relaxation to those who enter.  The house is located on the narrow strip of Folly (down at the washout) where houses can be both Front beach property, and back up to the intercoastal waterway.  So our Friday night resulted in one of two views:   

  

  Definitely one of the best ways to wind down the summer!

Saturday we enjoyed the morning walking all around JICP with Alf.  It was the second college gameday of the season for us, so I tried out a new recipe.  I knew I wanted to keep things simple and was craving something pizza-ish.  I decided to use my bundt pan and make what is essentially Italian herb monkey bread.  Instead of sugar and cinnamon, you use italian seasoning and parmesan, with a side of marinara for dipping.

It turned out great!  I will definitely be adding turkey pep and mozzarella to my recipe on my next go around.
I also made quick and easy southern banana pudding.  Few things are as simple and delicious as banana pudding.
We had peppered pork loin as well and watched the game over at K's parents.





We are taking today to relax and remember this day 10 years ago.  I'm trying to stay away from tv and the images of the events of September 11, they make me cry cry cry.  My heart goes out to all affected.

Yesterday while Alfie and I were out enjoying the beautiful weather we stumbled upon a palm tree with blooming fruit!  This was my first time ever seeing the little orange bulbs and it was very interesting to me.  My initial thought was that they look like pumpkin babies (fall is on my brain).  And for some reason this made me think of my favorite blonde joke.

Q. What did the blonde say when she opened up a box of Cheerios?

A.  Oooh! Donut seeds!

This next thing I'm about to post may indicate I'm on a bus headed to crazytown, but it made me so happy!
It all started with me searching for polka dot pantyhose. (Did anyone else see them on Ann Curry this morning??  Adorable!)  Well, as any internet search goes, I went from polka dot hose to dresses to...

I am not engaged, nor am I in any rush to be, but this dress is a dream come true for me.  This is exactly, EXACTLY, what I would describe as my dream dress (well, perhaps a bit more of a sweetheart neckline)!  I'm in love.  And it's only around $9000.
Where do I send my check?  ;)







So what's on everyone's mind today? Can you tell I'm all over the place?

Happy Thursday!
