Ello Gov’nor!

I’ve been gone for a while but I’ve got good news…I FINALLY MOVED!

*cues confetti and marching band*

I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time and I’m so glad I’m finally in and settled. Of course there will be pics of the new place coming, AND there will be pics of our 8-day Caribbean cruise. So many pics!

In the mean time, enjoy this cute puppy hugging a teddy bear! Adorbs!

The Fault in Our Stars Update

So remember a few weeks ago when I raved about The Fault in Our Stars and vowed to go see the movie as soon as my friend finished the book. Well she did and we finally went to go see it…and it was FABULOUS! I had heard from friends who saw the movie before me that all they could hear in the theater was sniffles. Even the fathers who were stuck on chaperone duty teared up. So of course I went to the movies with the mindset that I would probably be bawling. Luckily, we went to see the movie in the middle of the day and the theater was empty so no one could see me cry. No literally empty!

I’m glad it was empty though cause it allowed us to laugh out loud and openly bawl when appropriate. Now movie versions of books are rarely exactly like the book because as you read you form your own ideas of how the characters and settings look and how a scene should play out, even how characters voices should sound. While this movie wasn’t exactly like the book it came pretty dang close! Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort played the roles of Hazel and Gus so honestly that it didn’t feel like they were playing a role. It felt like they were really the characters.

It was a surprisingly uplifting movie for such a heavy subject, and I loved every bit of it.  If you haven’t been able to go see it, I suggest you go now. Literally, right now. Stop reading and go watch this movie!

Musings…and Sales!

So I’ve been obsessed with flavored water for like the past two weeks. I’ve found a bunch of different recipes online, and I’ve made a few of my own. There will be a post about that coming soon!

I don’t know about you, but these summer sales are going to put me in debt. Every time I turn around there’s another sale, and you know once there’s a sale you HAVE to check it out. It doesn’t help that with the cruise coming up I’ve been using it as an excuse. I’m definitely going to put myself on a budget.

So You Think You Can Dance is back! This is the only competition show I watch from auditions to finale. I already spot some favorites, lets just hope they make it through the next round.

The Bath and Body Works semi-annual sale started last week and I missed all the good stuff! I had it on my calendar for a month and I still forgot to go on the first day. I could kick myself! I still got some good stuff so it wasn’t a total loss. Plus I got to use this coupon I’d had in my wallet for $10 off a $40 purchase. My total came to $40.01! Talk about lucky!
