TRUE BLOOD - SEASON OPENER

I was pretty excited to see the season premier but . . . maybe it was missing Game of Thrones and the constant excitement from the seven kingdoms...I was a little disappointed.

Not quite sure why. I wasn't happy with Tara being turned. I wasn't as thrilled with Bill and Eric this season. Maybe we're just off to a rocky start and it won't suck ;) after this opener. I sure hope not.

How 'bout you? Did you enjoy the opening show?

Musical Monday

I'm pretty conservative in my style, which tends to be yoga pants and tee shirts :) but I love having a little POP in my style and this is the perfect way to do it, with nail shields. And with Jamberry Nails there are a lot of options for different styles, patterns, and colors.

BLOOMING FOOD

The flowers are blooming in my yard and in my kitchen. I wanted to make a cake so I did. This is a German Chocolate cake with a flower frosting.

I also bought this cutesy cupcake holder. I love cake stands and this is the perfect size for a little tidbit. And, while I'm trying to lose weight, I need to keep the treats bite size - bigger isn't always better. I just have to be careful not to fix too many of these small(er) treats.

WRITE Brain, Left Brain

Have you ever wondered? Do you know? Are you right brained or left brained?

Left is the logical side. Right is the creative or "write" side.

So guess which one I am? Yep, you're right, I'm right. :)

Now, if you want to find out which side of the brain rules you, take this test.

It's fun and free! So happy Friday!

Ever Feel Violated...?

Our car was broken into. Okay there wasn't much in there for anyone to want to take. Seriously. They cleaned out the console, which was stuffed full of junk: lotions, antibacterial gel, a roll of toilet paper (okay who knows why we have certain things in certain places - but the kids were always needing to blow their noses.) Anyway, nothing worth anything...except for a cell phone charger and an electric inflater (you know the thing you plug into the lighter so you can quickly inflate inner tubes for the river...?) So not much anyone could sell, use or gloat over. Still, it's an awful feeling.

Oh yeah, they got my workout bag. It had some gym clothes in there and the one thing I really am upset they took...Micoach. I use the Micoach to help me train for my upcoming marathon. I only have 18 more days to train and that is . . . upsetting.

I could say . . . I can't run...but I won't. Still it was upsetting.

My husband says, "It's just stuff." And, I know he's right but it still makes me mad :( and kinda sad.

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

Overall Impression: Good

I might wait, though, for this one to come out on dvd and then rent it: Snow White & The Huntsman

Charlize Theron was the standout in this show. She did an amazing job. But, then, she always does. She was a great Monster and a wonderful wicked witch.

However, the show got a little long for me and I was a wee-bit bored a couple of times in the movie. I started looking for it to end. But, it was a quiet Sunday afternoon and we enjoyed the costumes, setting and period piece over all.

If you see it, tell me what you think.
